MYTH the opening game of the
Eastern League season but
tw~enty-four hour away 1t now
looks as though Manager McGinnity's
team Is stronger than the collection of
Tigers with which he made that driv-
ling finish last year. The pitching staff
lis not, 1t must be admitted. in the best
of shape. but with the new twirler the
s"Iron Man" is after in the stable and
Bob Holmes, who Is now convalescing,
in good shape the staff will compare
1favorably with that of Rochester or
any other team in the league. New
ark, outside of the twirling staff at
present, does not suffer from compari-
son with the major leaguers wearing
Rochester uniforms. 1t is bound to be
a close race in the Eastern League. but
Just now it looks as though it will be
q three-cornered race between Newark,
Rochester and Toronto, with Buffalo
and Montreal as the black-horse teams.
Tom Messenger informed the writer
that he would allow Young Schwartz
to make any weight, if it were a ton,
for a fight with Carl Healey. Tom de-
clared his nan would make 116 pounds.
1t is now up to Young Schwartz to
name a date with the writer when he
would meet Healey, n business can
be done as Messenger has left matters
In my hands.
Harry Welsher is attracting > atten-
ton at McKeesport, where he is signed
to play for the season. Harry played
left field in a practise game for six
innings and had eight %put-outs. He
came in and caught the remaining in
nings and during that period made a
I clean single. This boy is making a
good impression with his work and
should be retained In spite of the large
number of candidates to be drawn
from.
Fred Stone, the famous comedian, is
q great lover Of shooting. He has shot
in Newark when ne played here. This
year his engagement did not bring him
to this city, but he did not forget the
Smith Gun Club, for he asked that
they set aside a day for him. This the
club gladly did and the day is tomor-
row at the Smith Clubs traps, in
Bloomfield avenue. A special program
I has been arranged. Mr.. Stone has told
DIR. Belts, his friend, that he is going
to bring along his moving picture ma
chine, to get an exact reproduction OF
: the days shooting as a memento of the
occasion. This shows how the local
I club stands with Mr.. Stone. The Smith
members pay out about $500 each year
in prizes, and is a great organization.

The season of the Public School Base
ball League a not been definitely de-
cided upo According to Principal A.
( G. Balcom, of Franklin School, it will
likely open the latter part of this
month or the first part of May. 1t de-
ponds upon the weather conditions at
Branch Brook Park. Pallachia and
Parkinson and L~inaducci were regarded
as the strongest battery in the school
League two years ago by most people.

It's an old discussion, and don't
