THE bright sunlight streaming
through the windows of the Tiger
dormitories reused the Bengals
from their slumbers early this morning
to go forth and do things again on the
diamond. There were many happy
hearts, for the sun shone down from a
cloudless sky and presaged a good,
warm day. though the atmosphere was
still chilly at s O'Clock. A game with
the Lakewood High School nine was
scheduled for this afternoon at Ma
Meta Park, where the Bengals train.
This will mark the first active engage
ment in battle of Major McAllister's
forces this season.
A fire alarm last mig stirred up a
lot of excitement. Cy Parkin and some
of the Bengals helped pull h hose
cart to the scene of the "conf1agra-
tion," which was a trifing blaze, but
the run was good exercise and a v
city to some who live in the city.
According to the lineup given ~
Owner Manager Joe McGinnity. Man
ager Connie Mack has promised to
bring to this city his regular team.

all probability, be In the box for the
Quaker City team. Russell will be a
regular on Mack's pitching staff this
season, and the white Elephant
leader will look him yer closely to-
morrow.
However, Lefty was no hoodoo to
the Benagls in Eastern League games
last season, and the locals should fare

delighted to hear that two former Tiger

Jack Lapp and Ira Thomas. Eddie Col
Inns, the peer of second-sackers, will be
al the middle station for the Mackites,
Captain Davis will be at first. Barry at
short, Baker at third. and Hogan, Lord
and Murphy in the outfleld.
With such big men as these the Tiger
bunch will have all they a do to
record a victory. Parkin Is slated to
start the game for the Tigers. while
Lee will likely relieve him, with Cleary
on reserve. Cady will be at first, Nee
at second, Louden at short, Hall at
third, and Browne, Ganley and Swayne
in the outf1eld. Benny Meyer will sure

Cady the Goods.
Tiger rooters will get a line on Catch
er Cady, who will cavort around first
base In Joe :. gler's place. This young

fields and throws in a manne that
stamps him as q real conner. Johnny
Nee will cover second base. and this
boy from the Dayton club Is some
candy kid at the keystone sack. An
other newcomer who will make his
debut tomorrow is Frank Swayne, the
Austin swatEmith. Swayne is rounding
into shape slowly but surely. While
the poor weather has proven q big
handicap to the Bengals, the Jungle

Lew McCarty will catch part of the
