WOULD PROTECT PEOPLE.

Editor Pleasantville Press:-
In looking over the many different
subjects in last weeks edition, saw
Mr.. Frank Hubin's expressed sympa-
thy and desire of protection for the
people of Pleasantville. Now, wish
also TO state that | fully agree with
Mr.. Hubin that some steps should be
taken to protect the citizens of this
town. First Of all, you allow a veal
thy company, a railroad company, to
cut in two YOU beautiful street, ruin
ing that location, making it anything
but pleasant; next, it leaves a terrible
and very outrageous death trap for
people to go headlong into. You may
bring forth against this idea OF mine
some disagreement by saying they
are old enough to know better, but
that doesn't mend matters any. be-
cause while anyone can say it's no
public ~thoroughfare, not in one way,
but it is a public death trap allowed
by a christian state, to snatch out the
lives of some loved ones who may
thoughtlessly cross at these points,
whereas all this could be stopped,
would the authorities of Pleasantville
who have the power to do so, get
busy and consider that sooner or later
it may be one of their loved ones to
meet with that ame dreadful death.

Our catching staff, I believe. to be the best in the league. with Shinault acquired from Waterbury, the veteran Johnnie Nagel, and Jim mic Wilson, a youngSter of promise, who hit over 300 for us the start of last year. The first base position is still open, but Neal Ball at second and Marty Shay at short, last years veter- ans and Davidson, a former col lege star and eX-Athletic, who played third two years ago should take care of that position The outfield will contain Simpson of last year; HargraVe who is sur prising everyone by some great hitting, and probably the eccen- tric Everett Nutter, who has yet to report. This much for the playing end.
 think the attendance at games thus far this year through out every circuit in the country is a satisfactory answer to the calamity howlers'' who pre- dicted disastrous base ball season from the point of at tendance. Our southern trip has of course stimulated interest here immensely. We were unfortunate in weather conditions whick pre- vented cur first two games. How ever, in the Yale series just closed we drew exceptional week day crowds.

 Starting the season with a championship club and with such q capable man as Manager Ben der at its head, we cannot but feel we are in line to repeat.
 Our southern trip. was a very great success. All the men are in excellent physical condition and this should make itself felt from the start. Our pitching staff looks especially promising. Be- sides Bender, who looks as we'll as he ever did, and incidentally in the exhibition games played thus far he has yet to have a hit scored off his delivery. We have five other experienced men.
