H|FTERS, 50, JIMMY
ANDt.PALS, BEWARE

TO BE HARD ON ENEMY PITCH
Ehs iF THEY EVER BEGIN RAP.
PING THE LII OLD PILL.

The Ottawa Cubs will play their
first mid.week game Of the 1927 sea
son tomorrow afternoon at the north
side lot when they mix things UP O
little with the fast Beloit Fairies, one
of the leading contenders fer honors
of the Midwest League. The visiting
foe. as Is known by all fans of the
city and members OF the local as
ISOLATION, are touted as being one OF
the fastest semipro aggregations ever
organized In the country, and their
battle with the Cubs tomorrow after
noon will be one that they forget
very quickly.
There Is nothing to wait for except
the time Of the struggle at the local
diamond. Having some OF the best
baseball talent available on his team,
Manager Dunn and other members
of the association are looking forward
to another win by the local players.
No doubt the Cubs will put up n
stronger battle than they ever did
before In game. Although the game
with the Beloit team is not one OF
the contests in regular champion
ship series, it Is expected to draw a
record breaking attendance of fans
from all over the county and some
real baseball speed will be display
ed by both clubs.
Jimmy Lynch, Dunns pitching star,
who has long list of victories to his
credit so far this season, will be pit
ted against the Fairies. Jimmy is
all primed up for the battle and is
raring to 60. Some time ago he re-
marked he would like to get crack
at some good team. Tomorrow he
will have his chance at one OF the
best in the country, and he will have
to BE on his toes at every stage OF
the game IL he wants TO win.
- To oppose Lynch on the mound.
there will be a choice OF three pill
artists, Lathrop, label and Sullivan.
Which one of the trio of mound per-
formers will be selected to offer his
wares against the Cubs is only a
matter of choice Of the visiting man
ager, although in all probabilities
either label or Sullivan will be Sc
lected. label and Sullivan are two
of a kind, having the best of pitch
ing records and as a result OF their
fine showings this season the Fairies
are strong contenders for the cham
pIonship of the Chicago and Mid
west Leagues. Sullivan especially is
a wicked wielder OF the sphere and
should he be pitted against Dunn's
men in the first mid-week game OF
the season, one of the severest bat
Ties can be expected label also has
some mean offerings and his appear
atce on the mound would also re-
suit In a good game.
All Babe Ruths.
Resides their pitchers, the Fairies
depend largely on the heavy swatting
of the pill by the other members or
the team. Every member OF their
team is a heavy hitter, having had
plenty of experience in the game
Thomas, former Cincinnati Red play
err, will do the cavorting In left held,
and Is the chief performer for the
Fairies in the gardens. Holloway, at
second, Is an exceptionally heavy
wielder of the club and Is a former
member of the Minneapolis team OF
the American Association, and Is
good infielder.
Cashion, center fielder formerly
pitched for the Washington American
League club and was finally shifted
to the outfield, where he has perform
ed since. AS cleanup man he does
great deal of damage and much Is eX-
pected of him tomorrow.
Ex-Sox Player With Them.
Hasbrook, guardian of the third
sack, heavy hitter and clever In
fielder, at one time had tryout with
Comiskey's White Sox, but was re-
leased after a short stay. Baxter ana
Murphy, also members of the visiting
team, are former members of the
American Association.
Just summing up these facts that
the Fairies team is made up practical
ly of former league players, 1t IS
plain to see why they are such a
wonderful club They have cleaned
up every team of their standing IN
baseball and a hot battle Is in store
for the fans tomorrow. Following Is
tba linauu 0f both teams.
