WANTS HOME TALENT.
A Baseball Admirers Suggestions about
the Jersey City Club.

O('SNJ ~
To the Editor of The Jersey City Ne,cs:-
AS Jersey City will once more be
represented in the Atlantic Association
and the team will be managed by the old
vet, Steve Brady, would it not be right
and O capital idea for him to give a few
Jersey boys, or home talent, a show to
show what is in them. He could go a
deal further and fare worse. There are
three excellent young pitchers in this
city who would loon make there marks
in the Atlantic Association under the
tuition of an experienced teacher like
Steve Brady.
They are Fitzgerald, of the st. Peters
Lyceum, who also pitched last year for
the Staten Island Athletic Club; Welsh,
of the Empire, of H~oboken,- a fine pitcher
besides being q very clever catcher and
also good on any of the bases, and last
but not least, Larkin, of the Weehaw-
Kens and Alpires, who is a ~left-hander
with a wonderful drop. This young man
would soon win a place in the hearts of
the cranks and take our Days place.
There are also two clever young catch
ers, good batters and base they
are Dunnlgan. of the Gables, and Jack
Hayes, of the Costello's. Muller, who
lives on st. Paul avenue. has played on
the Tenth Ward Athletic Nine, of New.
ark, for the last three seasons, md is an
A No. / short stop. Through the recon-
m~endation of Jack Kelly, he received an
offer to play in Mansfield, Ohio. but he
objects to playing SO far from home.
DoWd, who everyone knows in Jersey
City, would be a fine man for third base,
and if Joe Gerhardt could be got for
second base, these young men would,
under instructions. soon rank with the
best of them. The following / think
would make a good team to start
with for Jersey City, and further
it would not be an expensive n and
would still be able to successfully 0
pete with the other teams:-Landmann.

Reipschlager, Dunnigan and Hayes,
