The team will start off the game as follows: Dunigan C.; Edward Buckingham, D.; McCann, (Mgr.) 1b.; Wetstine, 2h.: Downey, ss.; Thompson, 3b.; Farrell, lf.; Stewart cf.; Lundberg, If. The Coleman twins, Peter Colljung, Sec retary Fitzsimmons and the rest Of the directors will take the places of those who can not last full game.
 Moshier and Lefty Gallagher may soon appear in Bridgeport uniforms. Both are worthy of a tryout and it is rumored that Gene McCann may give them a chance.
 Bill Lundberg expects to take his team to New York soon to see the Giants play The Locomobile Go. will show it's apprecia tion of the boys ef- forts by standing the expense of the trip.
