This afternoon the Winthrop Fence
Breakers of the Trolley League will
meet the Gardiner team on the home
grounds for the second game Of the
season.
Winthrop at the present time is
heading the league, and it is the de-
| termination Of II husky young ball
players to keep her there.
In looking over the lineup the first
| impression is Of the batting strength
displayed. What we want is bat
tiers" has become the motto Of the
| Winthrop Baseball Association, and
surely the 1916 team will fill that bill.
First Of all there is "Squanto" Wilson.
the "Ty Cobb Of the Trolley League,
then there are Fuller. Reddington,
Kelley, Pagan, Gill. Gale, Maxwell and
| Bradford, all good dependable batters.
Nor are we weak in fielding strength.
| Fuller who captains the team and has
been the mainstay Of the infield ever
| since the League was revived needs no
| introduction to Trolley League fans.
He is an all around, every day player,
and the Winthrop team would not look
right if Carl we're out Of the lineup.
"Gubber" Maxwell on Sd is also an
old standby. He has always been fast.
but IS in for the best season Of his
career this year.
Reddington at short is a new conner,
but already he has won the confidence
of Winthrop fans. He has had Leagu
experience in the East Canadian ana
Atlantic Leagues and last year cap
$a;, - r -o1f %ao
If Wilson is the "Ty" Cobb Of the
League, Reddington might be called its
"Bennie Kauff' for many Of his friends
claim that he will be the leading bats
man. In Kelley, an outfielder, Win
throp has another big hitter and a
good fielder. Gale hardly needs an in
PRODUCTION to Trolley Leaguers. His
ability to cover ground in the outfield
is well known and also his base run
ming and hitting. With Wilson and
Gale on bases. Winthrop is sure to
score If given the ghost Of show.
Then there are the battery artists.
Ben Bradford, the Bowdoin catcher is
on the receiving end. and there is no
better catcher in the League. Ben's
arm will be found dangerous by all
wouldbe stealers Of the city teams.
Gill Is the star slabman Of the team.
He made a great record this year with
Boston College. and was for two years

handler. He halls from South Paris

circuit. He was formerly with Halo.

Winthrop and is expected to be a
valuable man on the team.
The prospect looks rosy to winthrop
fans and anyway we are sure Of some
fast games.

Discipline NOT Brutal.

For six months after the war began
there was plenty of meat. The supply
gradually diminished, and there was no
meat whatever for the last six months.
1t must be admitted that the discipline
was not brutal or severe. Idle pris-
oners did much as they liked The
chief cruelty now is in keeping Sc
verely wounded or ,Iegless or armless
prisoners in camp and refusing to ex-
change them. Perhaps this is owing
