 This Lohse, backstop for the Yost club, can go in and hurl a nifty game. Last season he worked at both pitch and catch for the Morris Cove team of New Haven, coming through with a neat record. Records show that he pitched and won eleven of dozen contests for his team. Thus far this season he has not tried himself at the pitching game.
 Lohse will help out Frank White in holding up the Yost's end of the pitching game. White is as good as | ever, causing the Yosts' supporters to again claim championship honors for their club.
 Dome" wilson, following the nurs- ing of an injured digit, Is in condition again, prepared to put up his usual flashy game. He will hold down the third station for the Yost club while on the firing line. Wilson will go be- hind the bat. .
 "swampy'' Whalen had better have care or he will steal himself out of both the Factory and City leagues. His purloin of, three bags in success sion in the Yost-Bengal game last
  ed ''Swampy's'' swipes are all the more commendable as Dutch" Conlin, backstop for the Bengals. is some thief killer.
 Horkheimer who played in at short for the Bengals last season, and also started this year with the same club. is to be given trial with the Yost team of the City league The trial will not last long as "Horky'' can cas- fly show that he is the goods. He's one of the fastest kids produced in East Bridgeport. where ball players are born. z
 Seme one tipped off this Butler with the Bengals that he was a heaver of promise. Butler never really pitched a contest until he tried out with the wearers of the maroon and white last Sunday He went the limit of the nine innings. showing that he was there. He's a strong boy. possessing a very speedy ball and a fair assort- ment of curves.
 Harry .tchap" Beck is the only member of the Bengals who played with that club when they came through with the junior City, league championship in 1906. He's still the slashing kid. apt to break up any game with his terrific clouts. t Both the Industrial and Factory leagues start their season week from tomorrow. The addition of the Whit ing team to the Industrial league has made that organization stronger than ever.
 Looks as though there will be no runaw way race in the Factory league this season, as last year when the Yosts had an easy time. Every team with the exception of the Yosts, have strengthened. From all appearances the Union Typewriter boys will be weaker. It's a case where the weak ness of one club will make the league stronger.
 The City league opens this Sunday with the following games: Eagles vs. North Ends, at Hairs lot; Sokols vs. St Josephs, at St. Joseph oval; and Black Rocks vs. Yosts. at Yost field.
 The Bengals and Newfields, two of Bridgeport's best, meet next Sunday at the, Meadows. The Newfields will use as their battery, Lyons, Wells and Hoeschele, and the Bengals, Nolan Butler and Conlin.
 Some fans might be confused with the two Yost clubs. There is a Yost team in the Factory league and an- other in the City league. All mem bers of the club in the Factory league must be employees of the factory Tn the City league the manager is at lib- erty to SCOUT the city for artists.
 The three fields for the City league games are reported in fine condition for the opening contests. Hairs lot
