 Deciding Battle
 The third and deciding battle of the series between the Business Men and Trumb bull hines will be stage1 Thursday evening at the high school field. The receipts will be turned into the library fund. Each team holds one victory over the other and is determined to take the deciding battle at all costs. With the cham pionship Of the town at stake, the rivalry growing more bitter at the passing of each moment and be- cause of the worthy cause for which the game is being played. it is ex- pected that the field will be damned with spectators when the opening ball is thrown.
 The Business Men have done nothing but talk since winning the second game. while the Trumbull- ties are sullen and quiet. The un- pire will probably examine each player before the start of the battle to get possession Of all guns.
