test is booked for Pctworth Senior
League today. with the r. T. keanes

four starts, while Tremonts fell once,
being tripped by Takoma Tigers.
a victory today for keanes, would
practically cinch the first half flag for

tie for first honors and a prospec.
tive playoff for the first half series.
Tremonts won the flag last year.
