AT NAVY GROUNDS

PLAY OPENING. CAME, PI-
RATES TO MEET sEvGGERs
IN CLOSING. CONTEST
Rgo l.. MIkIAND

The Pirates team will be ont
for sweet revenge when it goes
to the Navy Field tomorrow aft
ernOon where they are scheduled
to meet the strongrgoing Slagger
nine in the. second. game of the
leagues weekly doubleheader. The
Stars and Peicans will play the
first game.
In their last meeting, the Pirates
with perfect alibi' to offer be-
cause of the team being crippled
by three of its best players, went
down to defeat at the hands Of
the Sluggers who turned the trick
, rather easily.
Tomorrow, however. it will be :
different story if we are to listen
to the Pirate players who are conf
fident they'll not lose another con-
test this season.
With two-week rest and q
nursed arm. which is said to be
put in Al class condition, Mighty
Joe House will be marched to the
firing line. by the Bucsa manage
ment in tomorrow's fracas. The
Siuggers are said to be ready fol
Casa or any other first rate pitch,
er the 1888 champions. may have
in store for them. The boys from
downtown have been going in
great. style for the past four games
and there's no reason why they
should be stopped in Sundays con-
flict. especially so with their star
pitcher, Gonzalez, in the box.
One thing that favors the Pi-
rates in tomorrow's contest is the
fact that Enrique Maygs the clubs
second baseman, viii be given the
right to direct the, team to- the best
of his knowledge. This is said to
be done because Of Mayg's ability
of directing the players. to do. as
he commands.
It will be remembered that il
was Mayg's direction thai once
before broke the winning streak Of
the Sluggers. And this is possibly
the only thing that has the oRROsi-
ton q little worried il anything at
all.
Anyway, whoever wins. the
contest gives promises of being
darn hard-foughs. with two rivals
fighting for first place.
