Local League to Stage
Comeback IOn1o1yozg p M.

Tomorrow afternoon is the time and
the fair grounds is the place that the
local league will stage real comeback.
The opening games of last Saturday
were not as interesting as they might have
been, but the outlook for tomorrow is
much more promising, for the teams that
were unquestiOnably weak have been ma
,terially strengthened and will without a
doubt put up brand of ball that will be
worth while
Last week the Cottons and Toymakers
held the boards and had everything their
own way, but with the Blocks and the
Soldiers built up to an equal strength
there may be different story to tell.

way towards boosting the game and this
applies in more ways than one
a backstop is to be put into place this
afternoon and the first of the week the
playing field will receive a general over
hauling. just how extensive these repairs
will be depends to a large extent on the
spirit in which the fans support the league
and there is nothing which will help so
much to improve the game as a good field
to play on. Get back Of the proposition
and push; you'll never help worthier
cause.
