NEEDS

Sox already had cinched the pennant
honors.
Prospects are mighty good for the
Spokes. They have Coveleskie, Uhle,
Bagby, Caldwell and Elmer Meyers
right handlers. That pitching staff ought
to be good enough for strong club like
the Spokes. And with a southpaw they'll
look better than the rest.
George Uhle is a veteran Of one season
only. He was grabbed Off the Cleveland
sandlots last spring. He made good,
winning eleven out Of the sixteen games
be pitched. He should be real star
In 1920.

test tonight when Manual meets Pen

double bill on the Y. NJ. C A. court.

Hynes, Silver, VanArsdale and Hay will
be on hand to step in the fray If the

The Manual Pendleton game will give
the fans a chance to get a line on the
standing of Manual and Tech, as the
Green and White team defeated Pendle-
ton, % to Q, on the Pendleton court
earlier in the season. The Tech ana
Manual bands will be present tonight
to add to the noise that the hundreds
