Inc MeLaI WOrkS Olu- LAAole
and the Rolling Mills will be the
opponents in the scheduled nine
inning game. The fracas was ar
ranged when Leo Conway, boss OF
the Old Timers, accepted the chal-
lenge of Marty Miller of the Roll
ers. The Old-Timers will be the
same aggregation which few
years back set the city attacking
with their weekly games against
all corners.
Many Grey Heads to Show
This contest will feature many
of the city's great players in their
hey.day. Miller has distributed q
book of rules TO each of his alleged
PLAYERS and last night sent his
proteges through a blackboard
drill which proved costly to the
bows since the price of chalk and
erasers sky-boomed.
His battery will comprise "The
Century Special with Henry "Halt
pint" Gagain resuming his stand
in back of the batsmen as he did
in the old Connecticut league when
some of the present Industrial
leaguers were waddled in their
managers. and Ted Quinn, who
pitched for Connie Mack's Athlc-
tics some quarter of century ago,
on the mound. Eddie Farley, bat
terry. mate of Gagain's in the old
days. will be held in reserve.
Color and Plenty of 1t
George Conlong, former Sandy
Hook luminary, will be at tht
initial sack, Matt Tuohy will cavort
at the keystone pillow, Gento Or
sini at the dizzy corner, and Pat
"Pepper" Cantillion at shortstop.
Tommy Tracy, no kinsman of De-
tective Dick. will also see action
at the same spot. Sterling Peck,
who received his letter at Water
town high school for his potent
'stickwork, will chase them in left
field with Harry Taylor in center
and Clarence "Cutups" Nichols pa
trolling RICH. Lum Graham and
"Scotty Millright" McTavish will
be the utility men and custodians
of the Louisvilles.
Opponents Strong
The Metal Works lineup will
show all fast men who do every
thing but steal first base and take
umpire's decisions for granted.
Eppie Gagain, who is still expert
encing difficulty donning a protec-
tor. will catch the offerings of
Henry "Dizzy'' Dean Wagner whose
performances makes
him a feared moundsman, as you
never know when or where they're
coming. Henry, the pride and joy
Of Unionville, (proof readers,
please check and see II that's on
the map) wants to be certain a
section In the sbleachers will be
reserved for his hick town stooges.
Handsome Pat Winston will alley
oop around first with George Seng-
ston from down Union City way
frolicking at second.
nBeans" Shea, who gained fame
at Villanova, will knock them
down at third with frankie 'Darl-
fng'' Delaney at short. Big Jack

can locate it first. Walter Slug

"Flash'' Graham will lay in the
shade Of the right field trees. The
pinch roles will be portrayed by
those comica1 thespians of the dia-
mond, Ed Norvi1le and Walter
"Jones" Phalen.
Big Crowd Expected
When one figures on this great
array Of Old Timers who in their
prime ran bases like Bill Werber
and threw like Ty Cobb playing
this new diamond pastime a ban
ner crowd should turnout, in addi-
ton to the flock of insurance men
who undoubtedly will be there
first. A5
At different intervals during the
course of the game (?), time out
viii be taken to enable the various
towns and cities who will be rep
resented by their favorite sons. to
make presentations. The umpire
will be escorted to and from the
field by a motor patrol escort af-
ter donning and taking off his bull
let proof vest.
