games at home tomorrow. In the morning
they will be pitted against the 59th Pio-
neer Regiment team, composed of boys
formerly of this city, but now III the
service of Uncle Sam. and stationed ut

club of the Shipyard League. These
clubs have already met twice tins season,
each team coping one ot the games.

out one of the largest crowds ever seen on
the local field, and no doubt, as a holiday
