...nine will play its third game with Brown, on Holmes Field, this afternoon. Captain Whittemore's ankle is not yet strong enough to risk in a game, and he will not play. Buckmann will play third, and it is possible that Winslow will play shortstop. If he does not play, one of the substitutes will take Captain Whittemore's place...
