MARQUETTE — What should prove to be a real struggle is the contest between the Marquette Independents and the Ishpeming Setters, slated for Sunday, July 22, on the Legion Park diamond. The Setters are in a tie for first place with Chatham, having a clean slate to date. The Independents are now resting in fourth place, with two games won and two lost, and are not out of the running by far. They have had hard practice sessions since their defeat of last Sunday which put the infield in a bad light. Manager Beauchamp probably will make his choice for hurler from Maki or Gustafson with Paquette on the receiving end. The Setters, intent on keeping their slate clean, also have held strenuous workouts during the past week. Olilla will occupy the mound with Harper behind the bat for this club.
