The Tigers are featuring Felix “Rocking Chair” Mc-Vey, who professes to be the only Negro catcher who will perform in a rocking chair. The All Stars will use their “Acc in the Hole” doing the pitching work. A special section of seats for whites and good order is assured.The All Stars won another thrilling contest last Sunday, defeating the San Antonio Bombers, by the score of 13-12, „The Bombers, a powerful ball team, had the All Stars at their mercy 'for eight long innings. Though the Stars regained their confidence and pounded the old horse hide freely making eight runs in the eighth inning tying i^je score 12-12, and came back in the ninth to win the game. Hermon Hardemon was the starting pitcher for the All Stars but seemingly he could not baffle the Bombers and had to be relieved by the ‘‘Old Man of the Mountain,” Big Bill Haynes, who did a masterful job of relief work through six andone-half innings. *-
