WHITLEY MORSE ARRIVES:
PLEASED WITH OUTL OOK

Frank j. Morse, better known among
local fans and the baseball world gen
orally as Whitley leader Of the
brunswick club of the Georgia State
League, arrived in the city yesterday
morning, and he spent the entire day
meeting his many old friends and
discussing the local baseball situa-
ton, Whitley" hardly had time to
talk business with the local associa-
ton, so busy was he shaking hands
with his friends.
Morse has been enjoying the very
best of health up in Cincinnati during
| the winter months, and has increas.
ed in weight since the end of the
league season. He says he is ready t.
get on the diamond and work off his
extra weight and get in shape for the
season.
Il am simply delighted over the To-
cal outlook" said Morse when he got
an opportunity to discuss the pros
poets for the coming season. "WC
have bunch of players coming here
for try-out who are among the bes.
ClassD material that can be fount
anywhere, and the only trouble tina
| / anticipate is the selecting of tn,
men for the various positions. | ca
see right now that it is not going t
be an easy job to select an infield wit,
| such men as Parker, Reilly, Parker
Bundy, Crow and a half dozen others
| fighting for the positions. But in this
connection, | want to say right now
at the beginning that the best men
are going to be selected for the posi-
| tons, or rather the men who | think
| IRE the best You people of Bruins
wick want, and / want, a winning
| IS going to be shown in the select.
ion of the various players.
Discussing the various players,
Morse said that he was not worrying
much over the local situation for the
| simple reason that he had such ex-
| cellent material to select from. Take
The pitching staff for instance; that
one department of a club that al
ways gives a manager more or less
worry. Where can you find, in any
| ClassD organization, a better trio
than Hartner, Gates and Stewart?
they are unquestionably three CT the
best twirlers in the league, and, If
| they are working in their usual good
form, are likely to go higher before
| the season has advanced very far.
Brunswick is indeed lucky in having
three twirlers Of this high class to
start the season with. For the fourth
member of the pitching staff we have
four or five promising youngsters to
select from and should easily secure
a good right-hander from among the
| number. So you can see that there
S no need of any worry over the
| pitching staff.
Behind the bat ] will have Kite,
known to all you fans as one Of tho
| best receivers in the league. OF
course we will have to have another
catcher who can also play the out
field, and for this position there will
be three or four here for a try-out.
The !nfield looks great. OF course
will officiate around first, but prob
ably not before the opening day will
anything defnate be decided as to
who will fill the other places. There
will be about three candidates for
each of the ether infield positions,
and the successful men will be select
ed strictly on their playing ability.
With the material we have, however,
Brunswick will unquestionably have
one of the best infields in the league.
