The brakes will have lineup dotted

Mary's Celtics manager, says this:
NAVAL HOSPITAL did pretty we'll in
~ its first year in the Government
League. The Medicos left the
Departmental Loop this season in
search of more competition, and surely
got 1t.
The Gobs are well equipped for the
series. They are showing distinct signs
of coming out of the slump and expect
to carry the fight to Pullman. Last
year, 1t may be remembered, the battle
for the title was between Hospital and
the Sleepers, and history Is expected to
repeat itself again this season.
The Medicos' main hopes lay in that
they have gained the necessary expert
ence from competition in the Govern
ment League to down the Pullmanites.
If anything, the Sailors are weaker than
last year, mainly because of the loss OF
Doc Hicks. star infielder. On the other
hand. Pullman Is stronger this season
through the addition Of several new
players.
