ness both games for the one price,
and Fry and Stewart will in all pro-
liability draw the pitching assign
ments for the locals. Martin had not
at press time, determined his choices,
his staff being somewhat crippled at
present.
Thursday and Friday twin bills
will be staged with George Stovall's
Indians as the opposition. This Jay
town gang has been going great guns
Of late and will prove a hard nut
for the locals to crack.
