Kimbal of Elkhart has been secured to hold down third, and Shively of the Auburn Reds, one of the fastest amateur clubs in the state, has also been secured. The local team lias recently been organized and with Henry Thomas as manager will be known as the White Stag team. A complete shake-up has been given the team and with Ed Coffee as captain, new spirit has been infused into the team that will make it a sure winner. The team will also be strengthened for Sunday's game and with Cashdollar as pitcher and several new faces in both in and outfield, the two teams will be about equal in strength and will put up a battle royal. Although the ball fever has not been very strong tnis Season, owing no doubt to the class of ball that has formaly been played, the new organ ization will endeavor to instill newlife into the national game by securing only the very best teams, and giving the fans the very best of playing that is in them. To make- this a success it behooves every fan to get up on his toes and boost. Incidentally it might also he a good thing if every body who witnesses the game would come in through the gate and leave their quarter. Os course money is not really necessary to run a bail Uam
