MOTHER District representative

n in the American Legion series
~ today begins the annual in
vasion against regional rivals at
Hagerstown, Md, Blue Ridge League
Park
Spengler Post, local midget camp, in
drawing the Uniontown winner has
high hurdle to leap. Uniontown last
year was contender for national hon
ors, and, according to reports, is at least
equal in strength to 1929.

timatcd that he intends to use Allison
Meiklejohn, whose pitching featured the
Washington series.
One of the busiest of our local inde-
pendent mines is the Skinker Eagle Club,
which has compiled an enviable record
this seasonal record that compares
favorably with that set by the Skinkers
during the basket ball season.
The Eagles are booking games right
and left now and are leaving none of
the we'll known pebbles unturned in an
attempt to establish themselves one Of
the outstanding teams of this vicinity
Today the Skinkers play D. G. Repair
Shop on the Eagle field at $50 o'clock,
and tomorrow hook-up with D. c. Fire
men on the same field at the same
time Saturday Bill Jenkins powerful
Red Sox are to be met, and Sunday the
Fredericksburg Elks will oppose them in
the Maryland town.
Perhaps of most interest from local
viewpoint is the game tomorrow with
the Firemen. The SkinkerS already
hold an 8-to-6 decision over the Police
nine and fans will be able to get
line on the relative merits of both the
Policemen and Firemen.
