Bad boys from Bull Island will battle aces tomorrow

The boys from Bull Island, which the maps lists as Poquoson, will be entertained at League Park on Saturday by the local Aces.

Poquoson last year came to town and took the Aces for a ride with Sparrow acting as the strong arm pitcher.

Batteries for Saturday lads will use Bill Saunders, who saw service Labor Day against the mighty Celtics; along with Porter catching.

On Sunday afternoon the usual summer baseball war will begin with the boys from Hamtown.

This will be the first of a five game series with Smithfield.

Word comes from Smithfield that they have secured the pitching services of Murray and Ashby, who to date have been playing with the Newport News shipbuilders.

Murray will be remembered as the young man who has held the locals in check every game played to date with Newport News.

With these two pitchers and Nurney Bond, Smithfield will give the locals plenty of trouble.

Norman Daughtrey and Porter will be the batteries for Suffolk.

The gates at League Park will be opened at 1:45 this Sunday, so come on fans and get a choice seat early.
