LEADERS TO BATTLE
MONDAY NIGHT AT
INDOOR BASEBALL
With the Signal Corps tackling the
j Nile Park Giants on Monday a bitter
contest is looked for as both teams
will struggle hard to retain first place.
In this important game the giants
may be severely handicapped as two
of their comrades, Tom and Bud Dyer,
anticipate starting out on a Moose
hunt Monday morning previous. The
condition of Tom’s ankle, wrenched
during the fourth inning of last week’s
game, permits him to make the ven
ture. The Nile Parks however, are
prepared to rush Steamboat Painter
to the hill, or may borrow Hannon to
do the flinging. The operators feel
confident of iicking any twirler the
waterfront gang can put up.
Thursday night’s game between the
Merchants and Bankers will be a con
test for third place.
