A double header between the Bur-
ritts and West Ends. two of the three
contenders for the City baseball lea
que championship, will provide an
attraction of exceptional interest to-
morrow afternoon at Walnut Hill
park. The Burrtts have not as yet
been defeated, but, by strange va
gary Of weather they have never
been able to play either Pirates or
the West Ends, their strongest rivals.
They have absolutely swamped the
weaker teams, but what they can do
against teams of more equal caliber
remains to be seen-and will be seen
tomorrow afternoon.
The double-header was made by
setting ahead to tonight the Burritt
Reserve-Y. NJ. c. A. game in the
Junior City league scheduled for to-
morrow at I o'clock. The Burritts

On Diamond No. l the Rangers

This should be an evenly fought
game and will be contested bitterly
by the two teams. The Pirates
will play the Tabs at o'clock.
