S|DERS PLAY I
E[KS IN BALL GAME
IN CITY RING TODAY
Electrics Meet Woodmen il
Second Contest of Sunday
Card.

The Elks and the West Side will
meet in the first game of the City
league schedule this afternoon at $50
at Earring park. The Electrics and
the Woodmen will be in the field for
the second play of the double header.
The first game VIII probably be the
best of the two since the teams are the
more evenly matched. The West Side
team has picked up somewhat in the
last few weeks and is scheduled to
show the Elks a merry scrap. The
Elks. however. will fight hard to keep
from falling lower on the club stand
ing chart.
The Elks will probably start Morton
on the mound. although there is a
chance that they will use Dimke.
Brien will receive. If either of the
pitchers hold up well. the West Sidcrs
will have a hard time to win.
Pogreba May Pitch
If, as it is understood. Bolland. the
star West Side pitcher from Button.
from across the river will not be hard
to deal with. However. Pogreba has
pitched som fine ball this season and
should be able to do the same this
Afternoon.
StriZich. the mighty catcher of the
league. receives well and rarely fails
70 hold men from stealing bases. His
iron arm seems to stretch to any base
with little exertion and he handles his
mitt as though it were a piece of tissue
paper. With this pair of batteries liv-
ing up to their. best record. the Elks
will have to show more than average
batting.
The Electrics will start the game
against the Vows with Hansen as
pitcher and G.. Bross on the grab end.
II will be with interest that the fans
watch Hansen step out in the first
inning of the fracas. Bross never fails
to hold up to his reputation and plays
the ball in big league fashion. He hurt
his ankle the other day running bases.
but the honor of his team seems to be
worth more to him than his own per-
sonal feelings. This was the style he
played in the last twilight game.
In a pinch the Electrics will be able
to use Chamberlain. one of he young
est PLAYERS in the league but among
the best. His reputation among the
fans has crown considerably as the
result of the last few games he has
tuirled.
Pete Bross in Game
Pete Bross will also be back Oh the
job this afternoon and promises TO
equal the record scored in previous
games by his three brothers on the
Eloctri" lineup.
Scanda will probably start the game
for the Woodmen, and Bishop will
retain his position behind The plate.
The Woodmen have shown signs of
life this season in one or two in
stances. However. with their record
of but one game won out Of a total Of
T.. it is hard to believe that they will
cause the Electrics. runnersup in the
league. much trouble.
But the Vows have shown some
scrappy stuff in a couple of games ard
may do. so again today. If they can
hold onto the ball in the field. that
will do more toward holding down dis
grace than anything else. One of the
principal difficulties with the Wood
men is that they cannot seem TO adjust
their batting eve. Moreover. the Elec-
trio fielding is trimming down to a
finish now-to the extent that the La
Dor day game with the Eagles is being
looked forward to with the greatest of
interest by many fans in Great Falls
who have not attended more than the
first one of two games Of the season.
But there is always a time to begin:
whether that time is gone or not is
what the Woodmen will have to prove
this afternoon.
