:. C'S PLAY FINAL LEAGUE GAME SUNDAY

A good crowd Is expected to turn j

out at Hirrison park tomorow af tt -noon to see the Hammond K. of C.'s, champions of the K. of C. Suburban League, wind up their ltayue schedu.lt in a garro against Blue Island.

Including "B .c" Bla. chett who will do the mo it. 1 work with "Pepper" Mackel fro n Harvey on the receiving end. In the lnfltld will be Frank Lewis at short and 'Vi g" Rollj on third. These players are considered

as two of Blue Island's best and they are expected to help turn the tables on the Hammond club tomorrow afternoon . That IJlue Island has every confidence In winning tomorrow's argument is evidenced by the fact that the visiting players are pooling together to make a healthy side bet. Pitcher Blanchette is especially desirous of getting down a little wager and no doubt he will find plenty of takers as Hammond has never been without a good folh wing of backers all season. Hammonu's br ttlng order for tomorrow's game will probably be arranged as follows: O'Rourke, os; Murphy, lb; Handy, cf, H--le. c; McLaughlin, 2b; Chandler. 3b; Flynn or Miller. rf; Boyle or Dillon.
