e. A. Dogget, last years coach at
Morristown IN. j. High School, will
have charge of all branches Of athletics
at Eastern High School, and will coach
the football team. Dogget is said to be
| a hustler, and as the Morristown High
School elevens are always ranked with
the topnotchers around New York, the
new tutor must be a good one.
Capt. Larry Pope. OF the Light Blue
and White eleven, will call out candi-
dates for the football team as SOON as
school opens. With Pope, Eastern will
have Williams, Watkins, Greer, Reilly.
and Wood. of last years squad, back in
school. Williams may be used in back
field position this fall. while Wood Is be-
| ing counted upon to play quarter back.
Chief among the new men eligible for
the team is Luggi ThOrnett, who played
such a strong game at third base for the
ball club Luggi is better in football
than he is in baseball. and can be count
ed upon to play back-field position.
more than likely full back.
Central bids fair to be without its
captain this fall. as Johnnie Reeves, the
plucky little back-held lad, who sue
ceeded Zappone, is very i'll and will
hardly be in condition to play football
this fall. II is problematical who will
succeed Johnnie as captain If his illnesS
does keep him out Of the game, but
iOyster, a back-field man, appears to be
the logical candidate for the position.
There has been some little talk around
town to the effect that the Bankers
would not meet the Richmond Grays in
RfrhFpppA EansaTr1har the date sci for
the playing of the next two games in
the Intercity series. The games will be
played as per schedule, without a slip-up,
and President Robert II. Young. Of the
Amateur Association. stated last night
that everything had been arranged 10
the satisfaction OF all concerned.
1t is true that the date set is rather
late, but it was unavoidable. Owing to
the Richmond CVirginia League) club
using Broad Street Park every Saturday
UP to the sOth. the amateurs could not
play there. and as Broad Street Park is
the logical place TO hold the contests, II
was deemed best to wait until the park
was vacant and then pull on the bat
ties.
II was talking to Curly Byrd last
night" said Mr.. Young, ''and Curly said
that while several OF the fellows would
be In college, he thought that the team.
with but one or two exceptions. would
be able 10 make the trip. Myers is one
who may be left at home. but the other
c llege men are attending schools close
to the District and can get away with
out any trouble whatsoever
Manager Stewart. OF the Petworth
