Mortified, April Fl

ne GAVIN Is breaking on dHOtHeT Ddse-
ball season at Goddard seminary and
talk of one OF the fastest teams in the
history of the school is rife on the hill
top. Coach Charles Hoernle, who makes
sideline of fashioning big league stars,
has gathered to his standard galaxy
of consultations that is bound to keep
up Goddard's fame in the baseball world.
Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and New York are among the states that
have contributed OF their young blood to
preserve intact the record that the local
school has made for itself in years past
Work among the candidates is under
way already, although the driven SHOWS
of winter on the campus still keep the
Youngsters and their mentor very much
70 the gymnasium.
The retention OF Coach Hoernle is re-
garded by loyal Goddardites as a strong
indication that success will be the meas
IRE OF the 1917 team William d. Meln
tosh, one of the schools sterling football
players, yields the managerial pen and
to him is largely due the credit for ar
ranging an excellent schedule. For the
backstop position Rogers, formerly Of
Boston college high school, and 0'Hara,
a Loudville, n. y, boy, are the leading
candidates. Bridgeford OF Lawrence aead-
envy, and Richards, formerly of South
Royalton high school, viii do much of
the twirling. Three capable first saekers
are available in the persons of Burns,
Lawrence academy, Smith, a former
spaulding high student, and Corwin, who
comes from Chelsea high school. "Mid
gle" Shea, formerly of Dorchester high |
school, and the leading choice for all |
interscholastic honors in Greater Boston, |
leads the infield contingent and is sure
of berth. Sam Lavoie of st. Anseim's |
college, Palmer of Allston Mass, Nc /
Williams of Tilton seminary, and nFyon
of Winchendon high school are all like /
Iy enough for infeld positions, Brickley,
a brother of Charlie and George Brickley /
comes from Everett high school to do his t
bit for Goddard in the outfeld this year
Others who are sure to be worked in the {
gardens this season are Jacobs, who once
travelled with the Montreal Stars, Griffin
of Tilton seminary, and st. Angelo OF
Somerville high
High class baseball players have been
recruited for Goddard this year and fans
who are pulling for successful team
believe there is substantial reason
why so many diamond artists have
flowed to the hilltop. The explanation
is this; Coach Hoernle's tutelage is re-
garded as invaluable and young players
all over New England are coming to real Il
ize that he is one of the most capable h
masters to be found in the preparatory
schools of six states.
1t will be seen in one glance over the
following schedule that the task of win
ming majority of games this year is
not an easy one.
