YARD, PLUMBERS
TANCLE TONIGHT

The strong right arm of Johnny
Wilborne and the equally good left
arm of Louis Lefty" Cheshire will
be pitted against each other at Lee
gion Field tonight when the Plum.
bers and the Shipyard meet in the
fourth game of their current Sc
ries.
The Shipyard, having dropped
three games in a row to the Plum
bers, finds comfort in the fact the
Plumbers took the last game only
through a last inning rally and
then only by the close score of 81.
Tonight, the Shipyarders are pre-
dieting, the tide will turn and it
will be the Plumbers who will be
on the short end of the score.
But with Wilborne and Cheshire
on the mound, it appeared to fans
that neither team is apt to be
very long on score tonight, for both
are stingy tossers and hits are apt
to be few. Some hold, in fact, that
Cheshire attempts to be too stingy
and that he might do better if he
didn't try so hard for strikeouts and
counted a little more on his team
mates support for a larger portion
of the putouts. But the young left
handler continues to bear down on
every batsman and, with the excep-
ton of an occasional wild streak,
is one of the most effective hurl-
ers to be seen on the mound here
this year.
Wilborne has won eight and lost
three this year. The last time he
met Cheshire the game went to
ten innings with the Plumbers
winning in the last half of that
frame.

GREAT MAT SHOW
SLATED TONIGHT

Everything is in readiness for
the about action card at ITALIAN
Hall tonight, Bert Causey, Whining
toms jovial wrestling promoter an
nounced last night.
Johnny Long arrived last night,
and his rugged opponent will ar
rive early this morning from the
deep south.
Fireworks are seen from every
angle on this match. The popular
Long realizes that he faces tough
battle, for when a wrestler gains
the popular vote of the fans and
acquires a large following, every
man with which he is matched is
a bit jealous, and tries to dethrone
the popular one in every possible
way.
Harden is the ruthless type,
learning wrestling the hard way
around logging camps and saw
mills, and later with linemen's
crew. He is called the Stone Noun
tain Giant, towering six feet and
two inches.
The promoter has placed extra
seats in the corners for officers
and military police. He has asked
fans not to interfere with the
matches in any way, and will not
be responsible for any injuries re-
sulting from such interference.
The opening match, also on a
main event basis, will feature Chief
Little Beaver and Irish Jack Kelly.
The winner will have two goals to
fight for-the larger share of the
purse and, in ali probability, an
other shot at an arch-rival, Johnny
Long in the near future.
Milo Muscles" Steinborn, very
capable man for the officiating,
job will be on hand to referee the
matches. On an exhibition tour of
Army camps recently. one of his
feats was to lift a 400-pound bar
bell from the floor and pitch it
over the ropes of the ring. With
this in view, it is likely that he
will be the boss while refereeing.
Doors will open at Tbs for early
arrivals, with the matches getting
underway at $3.50.

shocker against the AS, Rettig
could pitch for the Mackmen. The
Browns-Schocker combine had de-
feated the AS four straight times.
On the next day Foil named
Shocker as his hurler and Mack
countered with Rettig.
The newcomer put stop to the
Browns jeers by retiring the first
three men to face him.. He went
on from there for a 6 to 8 triumph.
When the Brown officials dis
covered Rettig's background, they
protested but nothing came OF the
complaint.
The king-for-a-day hurler lost his
following two starts and was sent
to the showers by Mack after walk

next game. That was his major
league fadeout.
