The great pace the gunners have been traveling is well known in local baseball camps, so a hot contest may be anticipated. Manager Greene of the Navy team hopes to take both ends of the two-ply killer. He will work his star battery, Adams and Greenfield, in the opener, and most likely pitch Thomas in the nightcap.
