SEASON OPENS MAY 3

With the announcement that the Della
ware River Shipyard Baseball League
will open the season on Saturday, May 8,
nearly all the teams are making plans
for the inaugural games, and in the
meantime are booking exhibition con-
tests with the best clubs available.
Johnny Castle, who is busy watching
the interests Of Hog Island, has his
squad out every day for practice, and
the opening game there likely will be on
Sunday several weeks previous to the
start OF the shipyard league season.
While most of the teams in the or
ganzation will have good teams, as there
is hardly one that will not outclass
last years squad. all practice of the
players must be done after working
hours. It has been decided that no time
will be allowed for drill
The Merchant nine at bristol announces
that they have succeeded in inducing
Connie Mack's son. Earl. to manage the
club at that yard Earl has not been
sought simply as n baseball manager. as
he has been working at the plant for
a year or more. He did not come out for
the team last season and II WaS only
after considerable persuasion on tie part
of his friends that he accepted the post
of manager.
Earl has called meeting Of the can
didates for tomorrow and It is likely
the first practice will be held on Sunday
afternoon. The Merchant yard has
plenty OF baseball talent. provided they
can be induced to Join the team. and
with Mack at the helm the athletic COM
mittee feels that a big problem has been
solved.

Play West Point Saturday Afternoon

Roses Park, Jacksonville, Fla, where
the Athletics did their preliminary train
ing last spring, at no time during their
stay presented more ideal picture OF
early spring than did Shibe Park yester-
day afternoon. It was as If Florida
temperature, palms and all, had been
temporarily transferred north especially
for the benefit OF Manager Mack and his
ball players.
George Burns, the hefty hitter. could
not resist the temptation to get in uni
form yesterday afternoon. He was one

of condition. Burns did not perform
long around the initial sack, but de-
voted most of his time in welding the

handed deliveries with the same vicious
ness that marked many Of his long
drives last summer. Batting just comes
natural to this Philadelphia boy and
swatting the horsehide is to HIM the
| supreme satisfaction of ball playing.
| Manager Mack announced that the
| first game of the season would be played
with West Point on Saturday. 1t orig

first regular contest, but Hans Lobert,

the afternoon from that of the morn
ing. After the men had been warmed
up by tossing the ball around for fif-
teen minutes, Mr.. Mack ordered a bat
ting practice, with men stationed in the
infleld and outfied. 2'he portable back
stop acted as receiver for all balls the
batsmen failed to find. None of the
pitchers did any thing more than use a
little speed at times. But all had an
opportunity to loosen the muscles of
their salary wings, and at the same time
give other members of the squad practice
in batting.
Two veterans, members Of former Ath-
letic teams, were in uniform in the
afternoon. They were Rube Oldring and

The doughboys said all they had to

play ball was a baseball. so they got

through ts far as going the long route
day in ahd day out is concerned, but he
showed few tricks out of his assort-
ment to the squad of rockies he led out
to the field yesterday.
1t was day of big surprises. The
Philadelphia bunch barely had landed at
the hotel when along came c. Cactus
Gavvy Cravath from his point of hiber-
nation somewhere out among the red
woods of the Pacific coast. with him
trotted Gene Packard, the little south
paw finger Coombs got in st. Louis.
Coombs gave them about seven min
utes to shake the travel dust and alkali
off their clothes. He. then hied the whole
crowd off to the ball park out in the
! wilds, rast typical southern cluster of
/ novels harboring dusky citizens, all of
| whom seemed to have a speaking ac-
quaintance with Jake Munich, probably
remembering the days when Jake used
| to drive them over the right-f1eld fence
here.
Tropical Sun
The sun was hot enough to make a
porcupine sweat through his quills, and
everybody was figuring on the nearest
swimming hole when Coombs ordered
the whole squad to line up and take
turns at bat.
Ho went out to the mound himself.
Jack Adams was the first batter up, and
Coombs nearly scared him to death by
| throwing up a peach Of curve which
| Bill Shettsline called strike. Adams
swung at the next two and missed them
both Coombs had something and
Adams couldn't see the pill come float
ing past.
| Cravath was the first and only batter
to whale the ball out Of the park. He
| slammed one past Coombs so fast Jack
said a prayer, and it kept climbing until
it passed over the fence, and created
quite a. commotion by landing in a
washtub where a dusky lady was busy
on the weeks laundry
Cavvy VS.. Jack
None Of the players knew what to
make of it when Coombs and Cravath
picked sides and went into regular ball
game, with Joe Oeschger and FRANK
woodward serving them up.
It was a free-hitting sort of affair
mainly because only the heavy hitters
on each team got a chance at the bat
! and the humorous side of it was that
both Gavvy and Jack thought they were
fooling each other by letting the slug
gers bat out of turn.
The population of Charlotte seems to
have forgotten where their ball park is
located. There were only about twenty
five of the natives on hand to look over
the proceedings and they evidently won
