AT THE EAST NEWPORT TRACK
At the East Newport track today the Bellevue Browns will be up against the real stuff when they face John Heilman's All-Professionals. They will use Engel, the crack pitcher of this year's Eastern League.
The Browns will pitch Jack Knorr, of the Pawtucket (RI) team, and they feel confident of making the All-Professionals bite the dust. This game will be worth looking at and should prove to be the best contest of the season. Take Ft. Thomas car at Fifth and Walnut for park. Game called at 2:15 sharp.
