goods salesman has served the
Sandlot baseball public faithfully

strongest leagues in Washington
Snd managed some Of the city's
pest teams.
And no wonder when Bill speaks
the fans are all ears. He says:
mot because I'm president Of
the league, but because I know
the caliber Of players who are
going to compete in the league,
I'm saying the Industrial League
will offer the best sandl0t games
in the city. You don't have to
take my word for it, just come
down on the East Ellipse and
watch Heurich and O'DOnnell
clash in the leagues opener
Saturday and be convinced"
When the umpire gives the sig.

Scrivener, Joe Lawson or Shout
Taylor will fling for the Brewers.

GUS baseball battles, will don the
mask for Heurich. Should Stevens
feel a bit under the weather Satur.
