Against Bound Brook School
Team This Afternoon
fHlgh school Correspondent

(High School Correspondent
Marion CMuns) Nedswicki, the
star right-hander of the local high
school pitching staff. will attempt TO
win his second victory of the week
this afternoon when he faces the
Bound Brook high school nine on
the Raritan Copper Works field. On
Tuesday afternoon the strong o
ardo high team fell victim to the
slants of the local pitcher. At the
same time the Crimson and White
nine will try to win their third con-
secutive game of the current season:
The lineup this afternoon will
probably consist of Westerfield on
first. Martin at the keystone sack,
Captain Rhodes at short and Seaman
cn third to complete the infeld while
i'm the outer gardens Coach Waddell
will probably use the Rasmussen,
Larson and Hutton trio. Fenessey
or Wilmer will receive Nedswickis
benders.
In the Leonardo game the battery
accounted for four of the nine errors
accredited to the Crimson nine. In
both the Faculty and Leonardo con-
tests the men of Coach Wadden dis
played brilliancy with the stick. Sea-
man is leading the batters so far this
season with eight hits out of ten
chances. Rasmussen who made three
hits this week should come through
in today's game with a few timely
bingles as he did i'm the last inning
of the fracas earlier this week.
Although nothing much has been
heard regarding the ability of the

expected. The game this afternoon
