ROY.
This weather does not remind one
much of baseball, but to have a good
team time must be taken by the fore
lock, and preparations are already be-
ing made for getting together a team
that will give Roy another year of
fast ball. .P.+
The Ball association closed last year
out of debt and steps are being taken
to raise money to start the team off
in good shape the coming season. The
boys need new uniforms and another
place for ball ground must be found.
In this connection it would be well
to make arrangements looking to-
wards some permanency SO that ex-
penditures in this line will not have
to be abandoned.
Curt Williams, who has pitched for
Roy for the past two seasons, will
be with us again this year, as will
also Bud Edmunson. the third sacker.
In addition we will have C. Eddington
OF Washington, Ind. Eddington is an
exceptionally fast infielder and good
hitter and will hold down either Sec
ond or short. Mr.. Eddington has a
splendid reputation as a ball player
back in Indiana and played month
or SO with Pittsburg, but was not quite
speedy enough to stick. In addition,
we understand, Russ Hoover, who
played with Denton last year, but who
is now homesteaGing near Byford.
will become a member Of the team.
Hoover played good ball last year
and needs no introduction to the Roy
fans. The balance of the team will
be about the same as last year and
will insure Roy having one Of the
fastest, if not the fastest, team in
Fergus county this year-Enterprise
