SEM|-PRO TEAMS
READY FOR START
Real Opening of Local Season
Will Take Place Tomorrow
on Many Diamonds.

| If the rain god doesn't unite forces
with cold weather and Old Sol shows
| forth at his best, the semi-pro teams
| who play Sunday ball will have their
| first real opportunity to get away into
the 1914 season tomorrow. Just about
score of games have been arranged
/ and some interest is manifested upon
! the outcome of all.
The WESTINGHOUSE E. and NJ. team
will line up against Williamsport
! Club, of Brooklyn. The latter aggre-
CATION will come to this city with an
array of new talent which they hope
| will be able to stop the local combina-
ton, which looks like one OF the best
! aggregat lions in the city.
! Over at Parkview oval there ought
to be some big doings when Casey's
lronSideS pit themselves against the
lner- seals The latter aggregation
does not appear here every week and
thus. one cannot get good line on
their ability. But to beat the Iron
sides at Parkview oval is some feat
and the Iner-seals almost turned the
| trick last season. Their calibre can
be judged by that game.
| Down at the same oval, after din
ner, the Meadowbrooks are going to
pry off the lid with the fast Hoboken
nine as the opening attraction. Man.
ager Bill Crelin, of the Brooks, always
/ gets together a strong aggregation
/ of ball players that are capable OF
putting up first-class semi-pro ball
and, with the Hobokenites as the
! initial attraction, the contest ought
/ to develop into a corker.
/ Frank Twist writes that his team
! is about the best ever and is going
to Riverside oval, Kearny, tomorrow
morning, with the intention of de-
/ feating the Maple A. c. in the open
ing game. Twist says he will pin his
! faith in Cattany and Kenny to dc
/ the trouble making for the Naples
while the West Hudson team will use
Briefly and Van Aulen in the main
| points.
| With Alderman and President OF
/ the Common Council Patrick O'Brien
! hurting the first ball and James r.
/ Hyland, local politician, doing the
Bryan oratory stunt" Manager Nc
! Cauly, of the Hyland A. A.. believes
! that big crowd will be ready to
welcome his new aggregation at Pa
| cific Oval tomorrow afternoon, when
the Ironside A. c. will be the initial
opponents. Joe Berguer will pitch for
| the Hylands.
The Lafayettes will start the ball
arolling at Neuscheler's Oval tomor-
row morning with Poke Green's Bal.
! timore Giants as the first attraction
of the season. Kelly and Schuster
will form the Lafayette battery and
Poke Green will probably fling for
! the Giants.
/ The Shrivers and the Vailsburg
| Tigers clash in a double-header. The
| first game will be staged at Athletic
Park in the morning and the second
at Shriver Oval, Harrison, In the af-
| ternoon.
In Irvington, the Irvington Parks
will begin the season under new
management, and the Allentown pro-
fessionals will be the opening card.
The T. A. B. S. team will oppose
the Antlers In Harrison; the Newark
Athletics will play a practise game
with the National A. A. at Roseville
Oval; the East Orange Tigers will
open the season with Edison B. 3. C?
