yesterday as scheduled and there Was
disappointment among many of the
fans who had planned to see him last
night and get real dope for themselves
on the possibilities OF the team which
jackson mas been pulling together
since last December.
Thomas NJ. Brown, president OF the
club declared that he knew nothing
of the contracts that Jackson had
made, but a moment later he declared
that without question. Marhefka. Kerr,
Myers and Tobin would report here
on April 1. MIR. Brown. also stated
that he thought that every team in
the league would have all the old
players that it wanted when the sea-
son opened.
The fans are waiting to see Stew
art and Stall. both former team mates
of Harry Fritz at Central High School.
Later they played fine ball at st. JOS
eph's College and were with the
Shore League last summer. Both men
are infelders. Jimmy" Shollenber-
