There is no doubt that this city
has within its confines good ma
terial for an excellent base ball
team, but there is very grave
doubt that the material will ever
be used with the iudiciousness
necessary to net good results.
This doubt arises from the
repeated failures of the really
capable players to do things when
it comes to the test. 1t is not be-
cause the young men lack in
ability, an understanding Of the
game or an appreciation of the
Wholesome sport; it is because
they do not get in and hustle
when they have the opportunity
to prepare to meet opponents on
the diamond. The right kind of
practice, and lots Of it, is the es-
sential factor toward any success,
and Astoria's baseball players
should bear that strictly in mind
if they ever hope to win out.
