POLICE AND FIREMEN
READY FOR CONTEST

Imagine a gang of cops battling to
keep their record clean and you'll
get some idea of what to expect in
Griffith Stadium Saturday when the
District Police nine faces the Fire
men in their annual base ball tilt
The game will start at o'clock, but
there will be added attractions, with
Nick Altrock due to lead a bunch of
funmakers and the Firemen sched-
uled to put on an act or two. Both
the Ffremen and Police have sold
thousands of tickets.
The Police Saturday will strive to
register their third straight annual
victory. The main question appears
to be whether Finney Kelly, veteran
sandlot twirler. can ring in another
triumph for the cops. This Kelly
has caused deal of discussion this
year. Some say he has faded. having
reached the top of his career when
he led the Mohawks to a champion
ship last year.
Kelly will have a job on his hands
Saturday. The firemen have been
printing for the annual clash all this
season and they are rarin' to go.
Manager Jack Mooney has not yet
announced his f1inging selection, but
able. In point of preparation 1T ap-
pears that the Firemen have the
edge. but Lieut.. Mike Ready, pilot Of
the Police. will present veteran
combination Saturday.
