MANY STARS ON CORNELL
COMPANY'S BALL TEAM
Paper-hangers to Have Strongest Team in Years
Bankers Meeting Other Comment
BY c. w, SWAN.

| which Manager George E Cornell, OF
the paper hangers, will enter in the
Capital City League race, and while
at the time the dope may have been
authentic, several additions have been
made which materially strengthen a
lineup which was already the strong
est aggregation possible to assemble
from the ball tossers in these parts.
BILLY" Marceron is mentioned in this
list, because Mr.. Cornell is of the
opinion that his star slugger will re-
turn from Wheeling, W. Va, to which
place he has gone TO play professional
ball.
i With the galaxy of stars that Man
ager Cornell has under contract, he
should once more land the District
championship.
Chief Green, the Catholic Univer-
sity star slab artist will don a Cornell
uniform this season. With the addi-
ton of this twirler. Manager Cornell
is confident of winning the flag. Nor
ris. one of last years pitchers. will
take his turn for the New York ave-
nue. nine. Bernie" Gallaher. the Pet
worth crack, has been signed. This
box artist is one of the best in the
District
Manager Cornell is of the opinion
that Phil Buscher. the iron man of
! Washington, will be back with the
Cornell tribe before long. as Euscher
| will hardly stand to be sent to a small
| Ter league than the Eastern. This
quartet of twirlers is, without doubt,
the most formidable in the District
| Sailor" Bob Smith Will do the bulk of
the baCk-StOpping Cor the Cornell team.
Smith needs no introduction TO the anna
teur public of Washington as he has been
the battery mate of Gallagher for the
past five years. Smith is one CT the best
throwers in the District and will he d
capable receiver for the Paperhangers.
=. r. Lynn. a former Tri-S;ate receiver,
has been signed by Manager Cornell. and
! if he lives up TO mis- reputation, will DC
a cCrkinS good man.
First l.aSe will be taken care of by Cy
mcdonald. the former Georgetown. Win
chester. and GoldshorO first-sacker. Cy,
when IN condition. IS believed by many
to be the best guardian of the initial
station in the District. Cy is famed for
scooping them out of the dirt and lining
them over the fence.
SecLLd base will he in charge of the
Bankers star, ''Skeets'' Hayes. whose
work for the past tHo weeks has been
the sensation OF the American Security
ard Trust Company's team. Hayes has
received many offers to play professional
hall. but as he has a good position in
thc downtown bank he would not accept
any of them.
Merrill Vaughn will play the third
station for the Paperhangers, and as
he has completely recovered from the
injury received last fall, will be a ca
pab!e man. Vaughn played a good game
last year for the Cornell Goldsboro Gold
Bricks.
There are two good men for the short
stop position. Johnny Salb, who played
the latter part of the season for Man
aGer Cornell, and King. who did good
work in the Sunday School League
The outfield is perhaps the strongest
in the District Sam Edmonston, of big
league fame: Al Handiboe. who has de-
Cided not to play with Petersburg this
season; Billy keane and Billy MarCeron.
The quartet of outer gardeners are all
heavy hitters. fast men. and know the
game about as we'll any four men
playing amateur ball
While Manager Cornell has not signed
Fienli, Georgetown's star box artist, 1t
is more than likely. if he stays in Wash
ington, he will don a Paperhangers'
suit.
