YeIlowhorse May Pitch
Sunday, August IL. is to be a big
day for all baseball fans in this sec
ton OF the state for the Waynes-
burg Independents. who Cancelled a
game with the Fairview Athletic
Club two weeks ago. have been
booked to play on the jarvis
grounds that day. Coming as they
do with only one defeat out OF near
ly a score of games played and
with SO decisive a defeat of s to 8
over the Monongah Glass in last
Saturdays game, Monongah Glass
having walloped the locals twice
this season. Fairview will resort to
determination born of despera-
ton and put up one of the most
aggressive fronts that has been
shown this season. Waynesburg has
announced that He1mick, who was
offered berth on the Boston Amer
lean team early in the season. will
hurl the pill for the visitors. The
local management is making an eff
fort to get Yellowhorse from the
Pittsburgh National to fill like
position for the Fairyiew team. 1t
is safe to predict that this will not
only be the largest attended game
OF the season but also one OF the
most closely contested engagement
of the year. To insure against dis
appointment both teams have put
up a guarantee to play the game as
scheduled.
