To-morrow'S Games
Marysville at MiIlersburg, (Two
games).
Newport at Duncannon.
Three important games, all OF
which have considerable bearing on
the ultimate standing of the league,
are scheduled in the Dauphin-PerrY
circuit tomorrow. Marysville will
take Millersburg on in double Dill
at the latter town, while Newport
will journey to Duncannon and take
on their old rivals.
With a lead of three games and
but six more to be played, Marys-
willie is in a position to clinch the
pennant early. A double victory to-
morrow or a defeat for Newport
would make the result practically
certain, but Manager Fry, of Millers-
burg, and Manager Taylor, of New
port, promise fights to the limit to
prevent any such results.
Changes at Marysyillc
Several changes will be seen in
the Marysville aggregation when it
takes the field for the Double bill at
Millersburg tomorrow afternoon
Lester Keller, Marysville youth, who
recently returned from Army SER
vice will start the game behind the
bat, according to present indications.
Little opportunity has been had by
Manager Stees to see Keller in
action, but it is expected that he
will start the fray. Ellenherger and
Mutch will be in reserve. Keller
replaced Earl Killinger, who has
been behind the bat all season for
! Marysville, but who will henceforth
be seen with the American Chain
