BLANDFORD PARK GAMES COLLEGIANS AND PIONEERS The main attraction of the Auckland Baseball Association to-morrow will be the meeting of Collegians and Pioneers at Blandford Park. Both sides have keen fieldsmen and as the more experienced Pioneer players should find the improving Collegians side hard to defeat, the result should bo close. In the early game Mormons will oppose Y.M.C.A., which has lost its games this season mainly through bad fielding. The teams are strong with the bat and it is probable that a high scoring and thrilling game wil result. At Sturges Park, Otahuhu the local side will play. Lucas Lions. Xhe latter has shown considerable improvement, but the pitching of the Otahuhu side will be strong. The draw for matches to-morrow is as fol'°V Major Leaeue. —Pioneers v.
