The Sunday School Indoor Baseball League begins Tuesday night at 8 16 at the YMCA. St Marks Episcopal faces the First Presbyterians in the opener, followed by Government Hill Methodists taking on Westminster Presbyterian. Ernest Green tames the mound for the Presbyterians with Frank Erben catching. The St Marks lineup and batting strength remain uncertain.
