The city at a recent council meet

ing the week of September 10.
Two all-star teams will be pick
ed from the league. The batter
les will first be designated, each
team having two pitchers and two
catchers named. Two complete
teams outside of the batteries will
next be selected. \ coin will then
be flipped go decide which battery
and which team will 90 together.
"Pat' Patterson of the South
ern Sierras team and +. W. Schan2

to select the two teams by the
the league officials.
This week s schedule completes
