B|SBEE TEAM TO BAT TIE DOUGLAS
 THIS AE ETERNOON
Local Line-Up Is Strengthened in Effort to Make It Two
 Straight Over Old Rival

Imbued with confidence and deter. mined to make it two straight and three out of four games in the ser ies, the Bisbee basebell squad will leave Wallaces at 12:30 this afternoon A number of fans will accompany Hobbs men to Douglas to root for the locals as they clash at the Shelter Cityans.
 With the addition of Jim Flock and the return of Hugh Ratteree to the lineup, the Bisbee horsehide punish CTS cannot see anything but a land slide victory as their portion of the afternoons frolic. Flock is a local boy, but has been pitching for the Sherman club of the West Texas league this year and, according to all reports drifting in from the Lone Star circuit he has been the mainstay of the team all season. He will heave today and if he is allowed to go the full distance by Manager Hobbs the Douglas club may expect to have a busy 90 minutes or two hours. Rat teres has been out of the game for some time, due to illness but he is almost entirely recovered and will most likely be in there when the teams are sent away.
