tending SIX miles east from Fer

eighteen miles from San Benito
enthusiastically to a connection with

the territory ~ the san Renito com

In opposition. Fred Wood de-
ciared that the Southern Pacific

1t is not unlikely that Morgan
will pair with Barney Spinella in

Convention Hall, wHiere it is held
that Morgan, if in his old form, Is
the equal If not the peer of any
duckpinner in New York bearing
the famous Barney Spinella.

Barney Spinella is a twO-time

that title once Is the great

Barney and Chris Spinella were
the A. B. G. doubles champions two
years ago. Phil Spinella's long
career on the drives has been
marked by many notable triumphs.
Mort Lindsey for years has been a

Morgan, until last season, was one
of Washfngton's best, which is
equivalent to ranking him among
the finest maple shooters in the
land.
He must have impressed Phil

was extremely discriminating In
the choices for his all-star lineup.
Action at Convention Hall will
