To date, Jones has been rather fortunate, in that no umpire has ruled his pitch illegal, although players as
well as spectators, have voiced their opinions in no uncertain manner.
Could it be that the Blind Toms do not know what con- stitutes a legal pitch?

The Liumen's usual tactics of bunt and run will probably fail them this time, as the Wagoner infield of Hearther, Crews, Fitch and Leight is almost fool-proof.

Johnnie Alvares, Fonseca and Dave Walker, are down to officiate this game.
