ELKS AND LEGION
 ID MEET AGAIN IN
 DIAMOND CONTEST

A field day and athletic program with a baseball game between the American Legion and Elks teams as the outstanding feature is being plan ned by local legionnaries for Sunday. October g. The carnival will be Eastlake park, if suitable arrange ments can be made, it was amour ced yesterday.
 Ever since the Elks team defeated the legionnaries in a baseball clash at Riverside field, the latter have been conniving and planning to get even." They believe that the victory of the E.lks was a fluke and that the legion club would emerge victorious in a return engagement.
 So the Iodgemen have accepted a second challegne from the eX-soldiers and ex-sailors. They hold the opinion that their victory was well earned iority over the war vets.
 Plans are already under way to make the afternoon one of real sport and entertainment. The ball game, of
 course, will be the big feature, but there will be other events that will give the fans plenty of amusement. Legionnaries and lodgemen alike are working to make the event a real success, for the entire proceeds of the game will go into the legion coffers. The two teams put up a good article of ball when they first met-as good baseball as the more reasoned play CTS of local clubs. and with three ad- i ditional weeks of practice, should be 1 able to perform very capably.
