SQUAD TONIGHT!
i -
Alaska Juneau and American;
' Legion Play This Even- I
* ing at City Park.
Oity Leaguo leaders and the pres-'
ent “cellar champs" clash tonight at !
City Park when the Alaska Juneau j
moots the American Lreglbn outfit.;
Th© miners have won two f out of!
three starts while the ex-3oid:ers have i
lost two out of three.
If they take tonight's game the;
miners will be pretty firmly e.stab-j
lished in first place. If the I.e-j
gionairejj win the four teams will be|
on an even basis, each with two won]
and two lost
On the face of previous perform
ances Bradley’s Colts should be the
favoitltes tonlgltl. if it wasn't for
Just one little circumstance of soma!
prominence all soason. And that is, I
in this man's league, you never can j
tell what's going to happen next.)
Some of the games are won and lost]
•very inning, the final outcome de
-pending on who hats last. Generally
gjfen'ItTirgT’UIo tHttfftfe, * except fdf TJte
I
operJing game, haven't played this
sort of baseball. They have lost
Gainara stince they played and beat
the Elks so badly last week. How
much. If any, this weakened the team
remains to be seen. Jorgenson will
take Gamara's place behind the bat
a3 Parmekoff's battery mate
With good support behind them,
the battle between Psrmakoff and
Billy Alexander should be a good
one. Both are steady twirlers, good
fielding pitchers and have excellent
control. Tho former has a slight ad
vantage Hn re3t, not having worked
since June 1, when he held the E'.ks
to two hits. Alexander worked Sun
day against the Moose, holding them
down to seven hits but losing when
15 errors were made bohifld him.
The game will be called at 6:30
p. m. It will be a seven-inning
affair.
