FORE RIVER BUNCH
TOL|NE UP AGAINST
HARL AN TOMORROW
Only Team That Has Defeated
Paync's Big League Play
ers, Coming.
MORE STARS"
HERE

The Fore River team in the Bethlehem
Steel League will be the opponents of
Fred Paynes aggregation of big league
stars at Harlan Park tomorrow after
noon. Because of the fact that Harlan's
head the league and because the Fore
River team is the only team that has
defeated the local steel league team should
result IN a cracker-iack contest on the
diamond
Al Mameaux the cratic Pittsburg
prodigy who is with Fore River is likely
TO do the twirling for the visitors, while
Manager PAYNE has not decided Just who
will be the mound artist for the local
team. But the visitors will get all the
lanky manager has in stock. The flrst
game and the one that the Massachusetts
bunch won from Harlan's was played IN
New England, and this contest being
staged in the local field ought TO place
the Harlan team at a decided advantage
as far as being acquainted with all the
facilities of diamond and Held they
know and have played upon.
There will be plenty of music at the
game. both vocal and instrumental.
The Harlan band will be in their stand and
will discourse popular airs before and dur
ing the game Then there will be q
demonstration of the character OF vocalists
that are enlisted in the minstrel show
that is to be gwen either the last of this
month or the first week in July.
The bows will render several songs and
endeavor to add 10 the favorable impress
sion formed by the citizens of the kind
OF music that will be in store for all who
attend the minstrels. Every penny of
the proceeds except perhaps the expense
Of the orchestra for the show viii be sent
to the boys in France for tobacco
Two new players from the Chicago
White Sox who while not eligible for
two weeks to play with the Harlan team,
but who may be out on the field to get
some practice are Lefty Williams
pitcher and Byrd Lynn catcher. Both
players left the Chicago Americans 70
the Harlan plant to build ships Both
PLAYERS are in the draft age but have been
examined and are in IA class so that they
are not eligible for the trenches As a
consequence any InSnua tons that they
are slackers are false.
Both the men sought jobs al the ship
building plant here and were not sought
by the baseball management. The men
say that If they had not located here
that they would have gone 10 some
other shipbuiIding or industrial plant,

leagues will continue out the season.
For that reason they wanted TO locate
somewhere they could obtain a job for
twelve months and probably make as
much at legitimate employment as they
could at a little over six months in base
ball.
While Fore River is playing here Bill
Gallagher s Delaware Shipyard team will
play at Hog Island. Bill does not antic-
ipate much trouble with the representa-
tives OF the biggest shipyard IN the world
but will not take any chances.
On Sunday afternoon, Gallagher 5 team
will meet Bob Sharkeys League Island
team at Fox Chase. 1t had been origin
ally planned to play this game at Shibe
Park but arrangements failed to connect
so the field at Fox Chase was then OH
tai ained The Navy Yard management
has planned to give the Harlan team a
ROYAL good time, entertaining them at
luncheon before the game and al dinner
afterward, and then taking them as
guests to Keith's theatre.
