PAULSBORO.

ager of the Paulsboro base ball team
and will have the kids out to practice
next week The opening game will
probably be played the second Satur-
day in April. That Paulsboro will
have strong team this year is gem
orally assured as it is to be a home
team, and this town can certainly pro-
duce one when it is needed. George
Barr, who halls from Paterson, will
probably toss the pill for Manager
Bates. Last season Barr pitched for
DuPont's team, and lost but one game
the whole season. Good luck to you
