Greenvi1le's Nine in Excellent snaps kot
the Coming Seasons Play.
The baseball season will be opened In
the Greenville section on Saturday, when
the Y. NJ. c. A. team of that section will
play the crack Case Dudley & Bateile
team of New York. The Y. NJ. G. A. boys
are in excellent shape. The severe prac-
tice which they went through during the
past few weeks. has done them q vast
amount of good, and they will make OPP
posing teams hustle. Captain Petit says
lie win make them play as they never
played before, and predicts thar they VIII
receive but few defeats during the season.
Captain Petit believes that the sporting
public will take a renewed interest 10 the
National game, and hat the Greenvtlle
residents will encourage the the team by
turning out in large numbers to witness
the games.
"Our grounds" said he. fare in excel
lent shape, and if our boys do not play
ball iG will not be for lack OF facilities.
The club will, however, still further I'M
prove the grounds. Seats will be erected
so that spectators can rest while watching
the game"
'sThe team will be as strong as in pre-
vious years. Arthur Duhme will return
to the pitchers box. The changing OIL
home base to the pitchers square Will
benefit smiling Arthur. He says he can
put more speed and better curve on the
ball at SIS feet, and as he is in excellent
form the boys expect TO see him puzzle
che batsmen that will face him.. Clair
Birch, the crack pitcher OF the West
Bergens, will also play on the team. and
he will relieve Duhme.
.Kit'' Carson, who played on the team,
as catcher, the first two years Of its ex-
istence, will retur to the diamond after
an absence of two years. He is as good
as over and will hold Duhme in good
style. First base will be looked after by
,sJackn Peters. "Jack" is batting like a
Roger Conner and will no doubt be a big
help to the team.
George Kerner, the old Garfield A. c.
Billy Wolfe will play at third base, and
Jimmy Bracken will look after short
stop. Captain Petit will be in his
stronghold in left field and Pau Jaehne
will play in right field. There is no
doubt but hat the team will be q credit
to the Y. NJ. C.. A. and G%reenville. Each
player is Il ball tosser, and Captain Petit
will see that each man fills his position.
