A strong Pawtucket ball team meets the Bristols on the common tomorrow afternoon with Newman and Paine of Attleboro in Bristol’s lineup. Next Saturday the Warrens, now coached by Max Turner, will battle the Bristols at Trotting Park in the deciding third game. The Warrens plan to use McDonald and Wylie as battery and DuValley at short with Gibbons at first, while Perry’s consent lets his regulars play against the Warrens. Pitcher Boyd is barred by the Warrens for professional status, a move likely masking other motives.
