 BALL DOPE

The Bridgeport team will be a hobby tieut tGe eids 5he Managep 1an5 o McCann @ and Secretary Jack McGuinness were III the big city last week and picked out suits for the team. McGu1nness thought that a, white home suit would go well, and that blue would be quite swagger for the road. McCann caught on with him and set sail. As re- suit the Bridgeport players will caVort at Newfeld park in white uniforms with blue trimmings. There will De a blue "B' inclosed within triangle white with two small blue stripes A Brooklyn cap of blue with white seams will work as head gear On the road the suit will be just the opposite blue with white trimmings, a Whlte seB'' within a triangle, and blue stock ings with white stripes
 Secretary Jack McGuinness is to be installed within an office in one of the Main street buildings. McCann reading, "Ofices of the Bridgeport Baseball C1ub.'' Jack Zeller up Spring field way will have nothing on the lo- cal manager; Jack also has snri5e5eia n1S 9egd buildings.
 Manager McCann has signed up a youth named Costello to assist Brad Kocher behind the bat. Costello halls from the Eastern Coast league and comes to the local club on the rec  Costello perform. This old timer, has picked out a number of good men and stakes his rep on Costello. He is a strapling youth, weighing about 175 pounds and is over 6 feet in height.
 Ray Keating the boy wonder of the. East Side will probably be given a chance to perform by McCann. He has asked that he be given a trial on the mound, thinking that he has fJ7a iS aT11U a how 17 wears old, large for his age, but according to the wise ones, he is there. McCann will probably have him him pitch l for one one the Bridgeports.
 Ernie Lush's ankle is on the mend. He got back into the game with the Giants during the last few days and performed in the style that made his name appear in all the headlines of the New York papers. Yesterday the Giants left Marlin, but Lush with a number of other players was left be- hind to boil out the more. He will again join the Giants at Baltimore on April 7th. It is given out on good au- thority that Ernie will be carried through the season, but he would much prefer to go to some minor lea que club, where he could get a chance to perform daily
 Jack FriIl who lasted with the Ora tors just week, is ma king a favor able impression with the Yankees. He has everything, among them the bad habit of having the ball cut the cen ter of the plate He is being developed to work the corners.
 E A plan ia under way to have a stock company control the New Britain franchise. Billy Hanna is willing to sell part of the stock, but will keep some himself. He has numerous bus illness interests that suffer during the baseball season.
 
 "One man can make break 8 ball c1ub,'' says s.slapper'' Sam Kennedy, the former Orator, now scouting for Cleveland. tAnd I am going to try and find the one man who can make the Nap club.'' As an illustration of his one-man-make-or-b break idea he commented: Would the Tigers have won three pennants without Cobb Wagner is pretty much the whole Pittsburg team. You can't comb the brush of the minor leagues and exT pect to bring in finished players sa Kennedy. Many people, including a few managers, hold this erroneous idea Cases where players make good in their first year out are exceptional. Baker of the Athletics did, but he's one of the rare ones. Wagner was turned back before he was able to hold up, and it was two years before Cobb flashed. A man has to work up in baseball in anything else. I think Erie Biting, now with the Maps. will be wonder when he reaches 21. but I don't think he'll stay n is cAa
