Tonight at o'clock all Juniors will
sit down to a feed in the boys room
Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
The occasion is the presentation of
the prizes to the team who won the
efficiency contest held at the "Y" and
covered a period of several months.
The program calls for talks by two
men who are heart ard soul back of
all movements that tend toward char
building in boys, and for whom
the boys have great respect and admi-
ration.
]. b. Perkins will probably be heard
at the ''Y' for the last time as he is
going to leave the city to make his
home elsewhere.
Rev. E de Forest Head, who has
been filling the pulpit at Christ church
during the absence of the regular
rector, will also be leaving the city
for his home in Hickory. N. c., shortly.
There will be nearly 20 boys ready
to hear these speakers when the time
comes tonight.

eats and keep your eye on them be-

FOUR STAR PLAYERS
HAVE BEEN SIGNED
Finnegan of Mobile Is Among the Men
Who Will Play for Pensacola.

Pensacola baseball fans are going to
see the best baseball this year that
has ever been in Pensacola if the plans
which have been formulated by the
reorganized Pensacola Baseball asso-
citation are carried out, as it appears
they will be.
For one thing the team is being
strengthened by the addition of four
men of undoubted ability. They are
Mike Finnegan of Mobile, who has
been seen in action on Pensacola dia-
monds many times. Mike Is a versa
tile ball player who can work any
where from the signboard to the pitch
ing mound. He is coming to Pensa-
cola to join the club and will pitch
Saturdays game against the Colonies.
Another man who is coming Is Andy
in the games against Milwaukee which
Gulfport won, . to and to 0. Smith
hits the ball when it's over, whether
it's knee high or shoulder high.
Next on the string is Frog" Turner.
Frog is utility man and he's such a
utility man that he's seldom on the
bench. He'll be sure of a place in tho
lineup In most games and his past
record shows that he helps make his
team a winner.
Jack Osborne is another star who
has Joined the locals Osborn comes
from Texas and is an intielder and Is
just about set to move to second base
for keeps. What he doesn't know about
that bag hasn't been written in Hugh
Fullerton's decalog.
Ham Gaines is also coming back
to stay. Ham is popular and he's a
ball player. He didn't look quite good
enough for Ryan last Sunday but that
was the first time the two battery
mates had met and Ham will be hold
ing all the curves in a couple Of days.
That's the way the team looks.
Good?
You tell 'em!

SCHEDULE MAKING
LOOKS TOO EASY
All the Fast Teams Want to Como to
Pensacola to Play Ball.

1t doesn't appear to be hard work
to make a schedule for the local team.
All the good teams want to come in
here and play and that's one reason
why the local club is being strength
ened.
So far only the first dozen games
have been booked, but they are some
games. Here's the early dope on the
April schedule ana although this is
Friday it isn't any April Fool stuff
that's on this list.
Look:
April and 3-Louisville Colonels.
April 8, and 10-Atlanta Southern
Assn.
April 16, II and 1S-open, probably
Bogalusa.
April %, % and 24-Meridian Mis-
s!ssippi League.
Does that look bad for a starter?
Not so it can be noticed without get
ting the microscope.
And here's what Charlie Frank Of
the Atlanta club says about Jack
Ryan: BEST you could get anywhere.
You'll have a good team and good
baseball, believe me-"
So 1t doesn't look so bad.
1t costs money to bring fast clubs
in here Especially the Colonies, who
are making a one-way jump. That's
the reason the gate admission is high.
But those who think there's a graft
