The veterans of the game will endeavor to secure as many ''innings" as possible during the day, regardless of rims, and the public will have to study the scoring board very closely to distinguish between the number of wickets and the total number of runs. The newspapers have kindly printed tickets and advertised the matches free, so that the whole proceeds may go to the Winter Show Hall Fund.

It is anticipated that the Garrison Band will be in attendance.
