Lennie Low will drive the Hisso Special, and the two car are planning to race against the roaring roadster of Bob Sweikert, winner of five trophy dashes in the last two weeks. Much discussion has been held between owners and exponents of the two types of racers, end this race should settle the question on a three-eights of a mile layout, Crocker stated. Kolb vs Garland Another race that has grown out of considerable controversy is the match between Don Kolb in No. 90, winner of last Sundays 35-lap main event, and Norman Garland in No. 23, the driver that held the first place position over the pack for 34 laps, only to be waved out before the finish when his radiator developed a leak.

Cantrell lefthanded his way past Pacific Grove with three hits last Sunday and missed a shutout by an unearned tally In the ninth. King City at PG King City hits the trail for the third time in four weeks on the Sabbath, moving into Pacific Grovs and hungry for their first wm. They lost a heartbreaker to Alisal and again last week gave Watsonville all of the fight they could handle, but missed out in the ninth.

There will be fights and rassling bouts in the area within a short time, despite the virtual freeze-out from the national guard armory. The freeze was accomplished by an effective means, raising rental to the prohibitive figure.

New rates which became effective a week ago today are $50 for benefits and $150 for commercial operations. The armory Is located on city owned Nosey: First it was the St. Louis Browns, later the Cleveland Indians who expressed more than casual interest in the new baseball park as a site for a Class or team here.

Pitcher Milt Cadinha. who suffered an arm injury two weeks ago in the Pacific Grove tilt, should be fully recovered and able to take the mound for the Merchants. according to riayer-Coach John Hanna, who will fill hia customary spot behind the plate.

He handled the pitching chores for the locals last Sunday, when the Hollisterites lost to Alisal, 5 to 3. Ray Garcia wOl be held in reserve. In case Cadinha gets into trouble on the mound, Hanna said. Gonzales will probably throw Manager-Pitcher Walter Rlanda or the mound against the Merchants and when he is right the big righthander Is difficult to best.
