Harlngen vs.. Brownsville is the
baseball attraction here today, the
game being scheduled for $3.50. This
will be the first time the Brownsville
Tigers have met the boys from the
Junction City this season, but from the
games played " far, the two teams are
well matched. and close game should
result
The Tigers are strengthened by the
addition Of several players. and re-
suit the lineup will be shifted some
what from that Of former games. Due
to the absence of Williams. Manager
Hill will catch for the locals. Just who
will be on the mound is yet in doubt.
but II is probable that Clemente win
pitch Champion will be played NJ first,
Egly second. Bernard third, and Cor
tinas will hold down the short stop po-
sition. The outfield will be picked
from CARA. Puckett, Fernandez, and
possibility one other player.
The Tigers may appear in their new
uniform in tciay's contest. The uni
forms were orItrcd several days ago.
and should arrive in time for this af-
tcrnoon's game.
Manager Hill stated that Browns
Vile business men viii probably be
asked 10 help pay for the uniforms. as
there is barely enough in the treasury
to make the si00 deposit that was re-
auired of each team in the league as a
guarantee that they would go through
with the schedule. This deposit had to
be made by the middle Of June. The
new uniforms were needed badly. and
the team will be out to play NJ well as
