 With $20 at stake, it is small wonder that there is so much interest centered on the Merchants vs. Clerks game this afternoon. The Merchants have obtained the services of one Amos Gingras, a wizard on the mound only a short time ago.

From all indications it is to be real pitchers duel. Cyka, who has been pitching for the Clerks for the past few weeks, knows all about the Merchants as hatsmen and seems to handle them easily. Gingras is quite sure to be able to treat the Clerks the same way Certain it is that it will he one fine battle, but the accent won't come on bat
