Inc DIueS got away early Friday
morning in privately owned cars and
were expected to arrive in Eel Paso
in plenty Of time to insure a good
nights rest before the opening game
of the three-game series with the Ei
Faso Giants today.
With Buck Weaver back in the game
and with several days good practice
behind them, the Blues should have
but little difficulty in taking the
series,
Ell Paso, however, has prepared a
warm reception for the Blues and
Manager Coombs has instilled a hus-
ting spirit into his players since their
lats series and promises that the Gil
ants will have plenty of pep when they
meet the Blues today.
Coombs has been shifting his men
around in practice, using Pitcher Hicks
behind the bat, Kits at short, Jack
son on first and himself, Coombs, on
second. The starting lineup against
the Blues today will be as usual, with
Preacher Munns doing the toiIing.
Arguijo will probably start in the
box for the Blues today, leaving Nc
Henry, Gomez and Ruiz in readiness
for the double header Sunday.
In order to refute the statement of
Douglas baseball officials that the
club couldn't afford to make the Ell
Paso trip because of the poor turn
outs there, the Ell Paso press and many
free lance sportsmen are reported TO
be doing their best to secure record
gate. 1t was reported that an at
tempt will be made to sell 1000 tick
cts to the double header Sunday at
81 per as boost for the financially
crippled clubs, the regular admission
being but rs cents
If the Blues can't get "over the
hump in this one series with El Paso,
directors of the club feel they will be
able to see the club through the sea-
son. The splendid support evidenced
at the mass meeting Thursday evening
has greatly encouraged the players
and the club management, and it is
felt that the Blues will be able to
play better ball knowing that the
club will positively complete the
schedule.

are angling for Storey, Douglas OUT
