lar practice evenings, the ball team ap-
pears for regular practice every Tuesday
and Thursday evenings and all members
not in the band, are to be seen every
evening. The boys are showing up we'll
and promise to have much faster team
than last year.
Rondeau and Ornson, last years bat
terry, will be the regular battery for the
season. Rondeau is in fine trim and
Crimson plays with his usual vigor.
Clutch" LaMoure will probably guard
the first bag. Dutch is an all-round good
player and can fill any position with Gre
dit to himself and the team. 4
Joe McCafery is playing around the
second station this season and is putting
up much better game this year.
Les Godward, new man, will play
around the third bag; he is young
player, but quite handy with the stick.
| Jim Parker is playing short stop and
covers his TERRITORY to advantage. Jim is
going in for team playing-the kind that
wins out.
Taylor, the hard hitter, will probably
cover the centre field and his long throws
make him good man for that position.
Thompson was not with us last season,
but is getting into shape with the others
this year. Ralph is good man in the
field and throws well, he will probably
be able to relieve Rondeau occasionally.
Mckay can't miss a fly and throws
we'll. His batting is not up to the aver
age and he would do we'll to be out for
practice more regularly.
Bently will play his old position in the
right garden aud we all know what Tiny
does to those "sky-scrapers." His base
running might be improved to advantage.
Horr and Conmy are good men in the
field and will go as subs.
Sonderman, the ''old reliable" catcher
is getting into shape and will perhaps do
some catching for the home team.
Liebinger's arm is cone but he is a
valuable man at prae ice vet.
Tuesday the home team played their
first game of the season with the Emer-
son ball tossers on the Emerson diamond.
Emerson took the field and Pembina
ran in two scores in the first half. Emer-
son then gathered three goose eggs and
three more in the fifth inning. Pembina
put up good game, their team work
being noticeable to the disadvantage of
their opponents.
Rondeau was not at his best and al
lowed several men bases on balls, how
ever, in the fourth innings with the bases
all filled, he settled down and not one
reached home.
Pembina made no errors, but two wild
throws were credited to them. The line
up was as above except that Thompson
held first and Mckay held left garden.
The feature of the game was home
run by LaMoure of Emerson.
Score by innings:
pembina- 2 8 8. 1 i..1a
Emerson 0 1 2 1 o.. 4
Batteries: Rondeau and Crimson, La
Moure and Tennpleton, Gershaw and
Hamilton.
Pembina rooters are all right, Mr.. ].
Cockburn headed the band. This kind
Of support is just as necessary as finance
if team is to do anything, so turn out
to every game and encourage the boys
all you can. but don't turn them down if
they happen to lose as then is the time
encouragement counts. paddy"
