A list of 15 men was decided on and McAleece will have complete charge of the locals, and the best combination will stay put throughout the entire tilt Charlie Stapleton, PetRits first sacker, will do the work around the initial bag for the Dubuquers.Either Maguire or Tapelt will start at the keystone base in an attempt to stop the House of David. Carl Kleeman will work at short, while Steve Petrakis. of the Kool-motors, will be stationed at third, j Tapelt Is a Sinclair product, Ma-! guire a Koolmotor, and C. Kleeman : a Grenadier man. Ray Airheart,I of the Grenadiers, will do the receiving with Charlie Plamondon, of the Elrecos, ready in case of necessity.In the outfield the Dubuquers will use Mueller and McAleece, of theIKoolmotors, and Wilson, of the Sinclairs, and also Ruddy, of the Elrecos.
