FAFNIR VS, PIRATES IN'RED HOT SCRAP Walnut Hill Park Tomorrow Much interest is belng manifested in the game at the park tomorrow at 2 p. m, between the Pirates and the Fafnirs, two of the leaders in the city league, neither of whom has been defeated this season. The result of this game may mean first place for the winners since there is a bare pos- sibility that the Dragons will defeat the Falcons. At any event, it means the elimination of one of these three leading teams, narrowing the race for first place down to two teams. Both the Pirates and the IPafnirs will put their strongest lincup in the field. “Slim" Politis, the husky south- paw twirler of the Pirates, has been selected to bear the brunt of the bat- tle for his team and Butsey Hall will be on the recelving end. This is a strong battery for any team to go up against, and with the breaks in their favor there is no reason to think that their team has not got a good chance to win. On the other hand the-Faf- nirs will use either Chariand, their port-side hurler, or Tommy Blanch- ard. Nelson will do the catching. T'his also 1s a strong battery and eith- er Charland or Blanchard are tough pitchers to bat against. Both have had a wide range of experience and Blanchard has played in much faster circuits than this. Nelson behind the bat holds him in good shape. (Conunuea on Following Page).
