Aloysius Mann, secretary of the
Diocesan Union Of this city, will man
age the Bayley Lyceum school basket
ball team this season. WHISKY" as
he is called by his fellow mates, should
have a most successful season, as he
has been connected with the indoor
game for the past five years. He was
q member of the team two seasons.
"A lSdlaAC VI llG bd4lty ledIA LIll6
year will be the three Buck Heerys.''
Big Buck, whose first name is Philip,
played with the old Bayley Lyceum
Junior five in 1902 and 1903, when that
team won the championship of the
State. He has just returned from the
South, and states he is in fine con-
dition. Phil was the best centre and
forward mar in the East a few years
ago. He was a member of the big ALL
New York team which toured the coun-
try about five years ago. He should
he a tower of strength to the Bay
leys. Jim Heery, brother of Phil, will
also be on the Branch Brook Club ros-
ter. Jim was a member of the junior
team last season, playing centre, and
it was mainly through his clever shoot
ing and %all-around defensive work that
the team Jared so we'll. Jim also played
with the Ironside featherweights. and
was a favorite with the fans on the
Hill section. He will play a guard
position.
The other Heery, a small fellow but
a big mar of the game, is Johnny"
Johnny makes his home around the
Dominican district, and it was there
that he received his first points of
basketball. He joined the Bayleys
three seasons ago. and was one Of the
fastest guards in the State. 1t can
be remembered he seldom tries to
cage a ball. but on the defensive he is
master of many. He is one of the
most popular basketballers in this city.
n with him back in the field the
Father Thompson team should be a
main factor for honors of the State
this season. Two other players will be
picked from those who are trying for
the cam. Hugh MCGOWAN and Man
ager Mann will likely be the others.
