CUBS Battle WITH PONTIAC SUNDAY l $685.
PONTIAC AND OTTAWA
TO CLASH SUNDAY

Due to 4 mis,arrangemen OF the
schedule in regard to next Sundays
tournament, in which the Peru Tigers,
Mendoza Regulars and the Ottawa
cubs We're to perform, the affair blew
up last night according to announce
ments this morning by Manager Dinny
Dunn of the local club Nevertheless
u battle far better than the tourna'
ment has already been scheduled to
be staged at the North Side lot. The
Pontiac Athletics, old rivals OF the
local team and VINO have already been
credited with three wins over Dumas
stars will be back to thresh out the
fifth battle OF the season with the
Cubs. Negotiations for the game We're
brought to close late yesterday by
Manager Renigale of the Athletics and
Dunn.
That the battle will be far more in
teresting than the tournament Is al
most positive. The bitterest of base
ball rivalry has arisen between the
clubs and the Cubs are furious 0Ter
the three wins Pontiac so luckily has
recorded. Duhn's warriors Will 60 in
to the battle Sunday in real baseball
condition, bent on only one thing, and
that is TO down the Pontiac squao.
At the outstart of the season the
locals played the Livingston county
seaters on the Ottawa diamond and
put over decisive victory. Then
several weeks later Dunn ionrneyed
with his players to the reformatory
city. The outcome of that game was
disastrous one, because Pontiac put
over one Of the rottenest deals ever
and cheated the locals outs OF every or
any chance or en- even break. Then
short time later Pontiac came over
here loaded to the eills with lig
league players and Tim Murchison on
the hillock, Dumas men received an
other druhbing and at that time it was
thought that games with Pontiac We're
over. But somehow or other Dunn
then booked game with Renigale to
be played at Emington at the big
home coming there. OF course the
locals were sure of victory but the
lucky Pontiac team put over their
third consecutive win in the ninth
frame of the game.
Now the fifth game is. coming, and
it sure will be one OF the toughest
battles ever staged around this loeali-
". The game as usual will be called
at 3 o'clock and ii is expected that
Pontiac will again load up in hopes
of administering the locals their
fourth straight defeat,
