Professionals In Doubt

---O~~-~--~N--
 With the Brooklyn Professional Mems soft ball team scheduled to meet SS. Peter and Paul's Warriors on SS. Peter and Paul's field in the East End tomorrow night, the boys across the bridge are now in doubt as to their chances for chalking up their 10th victory of the season and remain undefeated. Several of the players are in @ rather difficult poe sition and will be forced to use crutches and walking sticks to make their way about the field.
 The crippled condition of the Brooklynites, when learned of in the Eastern section, was loudly ac- claimed by manager John Wrenn, whose hopes for victory had alrea- dy diminished.
 However the uncertainties have been taken lightly by manager John Jenusaitis and Dr. Walter Selens, captain because he owns the ball. both of whom maintain their usual confidence.
 Considerable resentment has since been shown by our East End op- ponents who are insistent that they are not farmers or country gentle- men as they are termed over in Brooklyn. Preparations have also been made across the bridge just in case Vinny Coates meant 1t when he said that the game may termin- ate in Q riot.
 The Brooklyn Professional in ad- dition to their own umpire, H. P, Mcgrauskas who has possession of a season contract signed and sealed and stamped Cash Payment Re- ceived", will use Ed Happy" Lasky on the mound, Charley Dubbs, catct Manager Jenusaitis, 1st base, John ny Kopiczh, 2nd base, Captain &c., lens 3rd base, Tony Zubras, short stop, Tom Diliniks short field anc Atty. Joseph Alishausky. Atty. Clar. ence Balanda and Stanley Voketai- tis in the outfield.
 Our opposition on the other hand has a likely looking lineup that may be developed into 0 winning team within the next few years. There are Vincent "Baldy" Coates, Eddie Kiernan, Bill Gleason, Tom Bar rett, Joe Rossi, Frank Corrigan, Ed Bolger, Eddie O'Connor, Al Paul, Ray Wrenn, Archie Hollywood, Jack Shaw and @ dozen or more pitch CTS.

boys arose for the rush to the
lobby.
Leo's Courage Futile
But Leo fooled EN-. The champ
let go, and Leo bounced off the floor
and up again with nothing more
than a severe case of dizziness.
That was enough to spur on O,Ma-
honey, however. A few minutes
later he belted Leo with a siege of
forearm smashery, then gave him
the works-meaning We olde Irish
whip. Numa flew through the
ropes, came back for more, and got
it-another Highland fling. Leo
landed near the ropes, and was
counted out as the champ nailed his
shoulders, though fans clamored
loudly and wildly that Numa's legs
were dangling through the ropes.
Leo's head was injured in the fall,
and he was assisted from the arena.
He came back for the second go
with his head cooked painfully to
one side, but his courage was futile.
OMahoney gave his prey a couple
of over-shoulder heaves and the
evening was complete in half min

A Case of Dis-arm- ament
The boys worked arm in arm for
