cured the fine base ball diamond in the

Play hall"
The ST. Martin team, which has always
been depended on to put up a stiff fight
for first hcnors, will again be a member
and will be managed by the Rev. Eugene
Hannah. Father Hannah stated yesterday
that he had not as yet secured his full
team but said that the following players
would he with st. Martins this year: Bag
gette Bernie Gallagher, Hillary, Goodman,
SraulGing. W. Gallagher. Mess, Sherman,
Brennan and Dugan. Raggettc and Gal
laEher will make as coed battery IS there
is in the city, their work last season in
the post-season series being of the highest
order. It is understood that Gallagher has
refused several promising offers with out
of-town teams, as he does not desire to
give tIp his position in this city. Hillary
is also a good slab artist and will be
good one to alternate with Bernie. On
the initial sack Grant Goodman, who is
famous as a high school player and who
was with st. Martins last season, will be
stationed. Jack Spaulding will PROBABLY
cover second, and Dukey Mess attend to
short Walter Gallagher did so well at
the third station in the spring of last year
that he will be given trial at third this
season. Sherman. formerly with the Trini-
ty team; Brennan, with last seasons cham
pion Immaculates. and Dugan. who was
with St. Martins last vast year, will COM

Joe Turner, the wellknown wrestler. has
a,
for ST. Vincent's this season. Harry Fan
nelli, formerly of the Immaculate team,
will play with the Turnertes this year.
Zannelii batted over $50 and led the league
last season, so this acquisition to Turner's
ranks is by no means a small one. CANA
lier, also an Immaculate player. will help
out in the catching department with Round
tree. Lefty Wooden and Gordon will be
to pitch his nine to victory. Sunny Cole
man Will again be at third base, while
Willie Mack, Becker, Robinson and Turner
Will complete the roster.
st. Peters Strong.
Manager Langley of the ST. Peters
club has a much better team than he had
last season, due mainly to the collapse of
the Sunday School League, as he gained
Rex Frye, Hurdle, Zirkle and several
others thereby. Billy Marceron, who was
probably as popular with the spectators
as any man that ever played in the Mar
quette, will be with Langleys outfit, and
Shorty MallOy, former st. Paul player,
Will also don st. Peter uniform. Mad
den of the Interior team of the Depart
mental League, Scott, Dampier, Richmond:
Lumbardy, Sullivan, Richard, r. Moffit and
the three Collihowers are also to be with
the southeast club.
The Trinity boys have been getting to-
gether, and think that they will have
team that will make all the others hustle
but are unwilling to announce their line
up at the present time. Manager Dove
states that he has plenty of material and
nearly all of last years team from which
to develop fast team. Harris, the crack
third baseman, with the Trinitys last sea-
son. and the five members of the metropol
itan police team will be with the George
towners.
Best Material in the Northeast.
ST. Joseph's Church will be represented
this season with a team composed of the
best material In the northeast, which will
be managed by Allison Leapley. Mr.
Leapley says that his lineup is in doubt
but that the following players will COM
pose the team: Woodcock, Peake, Dodd,
Murry, Knockey, Hunter, Priest, Smith,
Fay, DAILY, c. Quantrelle, Oelson, c. Salb,
D. WhammOnd, LOeffier and Taylor. Dodd
pitched for Eastern High School last sea-
the Holy Name team had last year, so it
looks as if the pitching department of
the I'd street outfit would be exception
ally strong
The St. Dominic club, which took the
place of the St Vincent team in the Mar
quette League last season, and which got
a bad start last summer, is now in work.
ing order and Manager Canivan is looking
forward to the best season on the diamond
that his nine has ever experienced. He
has secured the following ball tossers to
play with his team, and expects to sign
several more before the middle of April:
Mcdonald, Gilbert. Riston, Ryan Canivan,
Waple Hurley, Gerard. d. Ryan and Mof-
fit Rston was with Immaculate last
season, Maple with St. Martin and Ryan
with st. Vincent.
Everything is now running smoothly.
and the officials have decided to start the
ball rolling as soon as possible. so as to
have plenty of time to play off the post
season series in the fall. If the post
season series is to be played at National
Park this year things will have to be
shortened up a little, as Washington will
finish at home, and the games will have
to be played before their final string of
home games comes around.
The league has plans on foot whereby
the expenses of the league. as to suits, car
fare balls etc. will be borne by persons
interested in the welfare of the sport in
Bloomingdale.
