tied division amateur followers ex-
pect a battle from start to finish.
Both teams are termed dark
horses" One Of the biggest upsets
Of the year resulted in the Garfield
Mercury clash, which the former
won. TO 0. Then the Jr. O. L. a.
NJ. combination uncorked a surprise
when it held the Union Printers to
a l-to-1 count.
If the Garfields can hold the team
together that played against Mercury
they should register numerous vic
tories. AVerill, who allowed the
heavy sluggtng Mercurys only six
bingles, is slated for the mound
against Jr. o. L. A. NJ. in tomorrow's
fray at Union Park at SIS.
Stewart. Cush and SNYDER are
counted heavily upon for their hit
ting ability. White Is expected to
hurl for Jr. o. L. A. NJ. He created
considerable comment in the sandlot
ranks when he performed against
Union Printers, allowing them only
six wallops. If both mines play up
to form, a pitchers duel should re-
suit
Another good game that should
supply thrills is the battle, between
the Mohawks and the Shamrocks
