! (SpcciaD baseball enthusiasm is
running high at Squirrel this year.
| Undoubtedly Squirrel will have one of
the strongest teams in the history of
the sport on the island and interest
among the islands will be unprec-
edented. The team here will be COM
posed mostly of varsity players from
the leading college teams. There will
he a strong string Of second men from
the prominent preparatory schools.
Undoubtedly no sIpall part of this un-
usual enthusiasm and interest has been
created by the appointment to manager
of the team of Attorney George r.
Westerfield of New York City, who is
the greatest baseball fan that ever
came to Squirrel. Manager Westerfield
| intends to put the field into better
| shape and Introduce several novelties
which will benefit players and also
spectators. His purpose is to supply

least three times week, probably on
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
afternoons with Boothbay -Harbor
