Mayor Price opened the season by
two-stepping out to the pitchers
mound and hurting an inside hook
over the pan. He crossed his catcher,
who happened to be Chief of Police
George Black, and the prettily garbed

The Powder Monkeys showed up
we'll and had the fans pulling for them
to man. Williams, a new man on the
club. twirled masterful ball. His
curve ball was working fine, he had
good control. and his side arm delivery
had the Allentown club eating out Of
his hand Williams also fielded his
/ position brilliantly.
l Mat" Donahue, the local boy. broke
| into the game under tho strain of a
sore arm. His addition to the club
helped wonderfully. Mat got two bin
giles and a walk out OF FIVE trips TO the
plate. He put up a snappy game on
the initial sack and will hold down the
| first station for days to come. That
! Mat will make good is evidenced by
the fact that not one fan bawled him
out during the days work.
Another new face seen on the local
/ club is a shortstop in the person OF
"Snappy' Mullens, whom Manager
Greenwell secured from Pottsville
Mullens worked three times and han
died himself at short like a big

The Powder Monkeys got next to
Mckinley, Allentown's first pitching
selection, in a jiffy, hitting him for twc
doubles and three singles before tw-
