Acting Manager Ainsworth of the Yantic team claims to have dark, dark horse for a pitched, which fact does not phase the hard hitting ci- gar men.

Although Coach Moore is at present in parts unknown the Nuggets will not be without a baseball mentor for Hank Craney will officiate in this capacity. It will be remembered that Hanks qualii- cations for such a position are of the best as he once played checkers with Christy Mathewson. An honest-to- good
 ness officer, uniform and all will be or l big crowd that is expected.
