Sunday’s’ ball game will be tne
final of the home schedule • for the
Coquille Loggers and it will also be
the “big” contest of the season. The
Colored House of David will come to
town again, to face Bob Hardy, the
southpaw ace.
Hardy didn’t know after the game
last Sunday whether he could be here
again. But Tuesday Bill Fortier re
ceived a telegram from him, reading,
“Am able to be there Sunday.”
So
again this Sunday the southpaw from
Grants Pass will pitch for the Log
ger».
It’s no use saying too much about
the dusky House of David club, be
cause already their reputation is well
known.
This will be the third
straight season they have shown here
and up to date the standing is at two
games for Coquille and three for the
darkies. Double headers were play
ed last summer and in 1934.
If Bob Hardy hurls the same brand
of ball he did against the "Convicts,”
the series of games might be evened
up. For one thing the Loggers have
confidence in him and will work be
hind him.
This will be the last chance to see
the Loggers until 1937.
