The previous Thursday they turned in a brilliant performance in the rain in a practice game with the Hill Field WACs. The WACs, incidentally have a well coordinated ball club and with a little practice could become a real threat. Both Teams Good Both teams were in good form but the Raiders had the edge on them all the way through. Two other practice games witn the Arsenal WOWs and the Hill Field Liberators have served to demonstrate the superiority of the Raiders brand of ball. Manager Leland Dopp, who has been in the business for more than 20 years, is convinced that he has a really great team. AU of the girls are hitters and the pitching staff is exceptionally strong. Besides Wilms Abrams, the Cache Valley flash, whose ball is so fast that the batters strike at it after it is in the catcher's mit, the Raiders boast two other first-clapitchers in Ruth Doughin Minerty, who was nesota, and Norma Ellis, who pitched eight years for the Blackfoot, Idaho, Lions' club.
