When the Lewiston Pilgrims and the Lewiston Independence meet on Garcelon Field next Saturday afternoon at 3:13, there will take place the most important amateur game of the season, and one which will decide the championship of the amateurs in this part of the state.

It is somewhat a case of settling an old grudge, and the rivalry is as great as that between Edward Little and Lewiston. Both teams claim victory.

Eddie Love will do the twirling for the Independents and Tommy Driscoll for the Pilgrims. The interest is so intense that there has been some betting, and whichever side wins there will be a celebration.
