In the outfeld, however. the Pirates have a fast fielding, a speedy base runner and a sure hitter in Weir. who probably is as good as the Besse team will put against him: Billy Dudack. however, doubtless has the edge on Schmitt in ability and experience, while Fortier and F. Sheehan probably are well matched. Johnny Schroeder is a backstop of experience and . heavy hitter, but Butsey Hall also is no mo- vice and can wield mean stick. The shortheld position is well taken care of by both teams.
 However, while a man for man comparison might show the Bosses to have the edge, this means little in baseball for the breaks of the game always count and any player is apt to have bad day or an unusually brilliant one, hence Sundays game ought to prove good one to watch from playing standpoint and an in teresting one to watch from point of rivalry.

No Protest As Yet.

President Bill March of the league council stated this morning that as yet he has not received the threat ened protest of the Berlin team who Saturday announced they would ap- peal their defeat at the hands of the Fafnir team, passing their complaint on what they termed poor umpiring. It is not now thought that they will appeal. Should a protest be lodged, however, there is little doubt but that it will be overruled. The league un- doubtedly will back it's umpires and, as a matter of fact, there is little ground for a protest anyway since the complaint would necessarily be based on alleged adverse decisions rather than on the interpretation of rules or regulations.
