Brewery-Mohawks Clash Opens To-day's Schedule

Asheville Aces Ready. To Handcuff Chung Hwa Maroons

Gunboats' Battle To-morrow

By BALL FAN

HEADING INTO baseball's annual sweltering- bolt drive this week-end, as the summer season officially enters to set its heat wave lengths on our hoarse-shouting ball fans, the major loop moguls have peppered their teams down to routine regalia, in readiness for this torrid temperaturo pennant bid-which will climax with a definite "who's in and who's not” before the cooling north winds breeze across the horizon early next fall.

H.B.'s Beer-bellowing Brewers open up this week's "Walla Walla” session in the opener this afternoon at the Chatham Road park against Charlie Waggoner's marauding Mohawks. Uncle Sam's' Asheville Aces should take their second victory of the season in the nightcap with a handcuffed victory over Chung Hwa Maroons.
