make a capable showing the coming

| against the fast Port Reading team at
Port Reading, which is located just
outside OF Perth Amboy.
There are two candidates for cap
tain of the nine, Walter Henry, the
| crack second baseman, who has played
with yer ten teams in the State, and
Johnny Lalor, the outfielder, whom
many big fellows would have to go
more than a little to excel in the line
of fielding and batting. John was the
sensation of the Branch Brook organi-
cation last season, being among the
leading batters and the best f1y-chasers
in the league. Though Henry would be
a capable man, Lalor seems just as
good a choice, but the election has not
taken place as yet. and from all lndi-
cations it will be a hot fight The ap-
pointment will be decided at the next
n final meeting to be held Monday
night. The crack Chester F. C. bat
