Play will start at 2:30 o'clock, nd a game more thrilling and better ayed than was the Mercury-Mohawk tilt_should be forthcoming. When the Geoknicks sprung upset by trouncing the Mohawks, they presented a well drilled combination, and should glve the title-aspiring Mercury aggrega- tion a battle from start to finish. A marked improvement was noted in Mercury’s play against the Mo- hawks. Joe Gainey, stellar end of the Winged-foot eleven, should bear watching Sunday. Against the Mohawks he uncorked one of the best defensive games ever seen in sandlot competition here. Zube Sulli- an, former Georgetown University lineman, also should worry the Geoknicks, judging by his perform- ance against the Indians. It would appear that the Geoknicks will be up against seal trouble Sunday. Cronin and Levvy, the Mercury ball carriers, ought to give good accounts of themselves, if they are given any sort of interferenc Coach Billy Martin of the Geo- knicks has drilled his squad diligent- 1y in preparation for the final cham- plonship match. The Geoknicks have downed a number of teams this year through effective use of aerial attack probably will try overhead heaves against Mercury. The Georg town team appears to have the edge in punting. Shorty O'Connell kicked Ed Lynch in the Mohawk- Mercury game and should prove a de- clded asset to his team Sunday. the With the 135-pound title at stake, the Southern Preps and the Apach Preps should supply some foot ball of the first order Sunday at the Wash- ington Barracks in a game startin at 1 o'clock.

The secretary was a smiling, affable little man who had at his fingers’ ends minute information_about all the “hash foundries,” ashpits, paper routes and furnaces for miles around.
