The schedule of the Eastern Shore
League is being rapidly arranged the
idea being to divide the best drawing
dates, such as holidays and business
DAVIS so that each team will get It's
own fair share; also the cost OF
TRANSFORMATION of the teams from
town to town is being arranged.
Every effort is being made to AVOID
any discrimination among the teams
it being the desire of the directors
and managers to avoid anything that
might have Il tendency to cause
friction.
The new ball park on Linden ave
nue. is being put in order as fast as
the weather conditions will permit.
Mr.. Sidney Henry will have charge
of putting the grounds in order ana
| expects to have the assistance OF
Whitley Frenlieb, keeper Of the
grounds at Oriole Park, Baltimore.
The plans for the grand stand con-
TEMPLATE comfortable seating capacl-
tv for 600 persons with bleachers to
seat about 400; these plans have
been completed and the work of con-
struction will be started just as soon
as the weather permits. Several
dressing rooms, lockers, and other
I, n
to-date athletic field and park will
be provided.
The Cambridge High School Ath-
letic Association has agreed to erect
ten foot fence around the entire
park. Several tennis courts, track
and several other athletic sports Will
be provided in order to make de-
sirable athletic field. These grounds
will be open to the public in general
except when a game of base ball IS
scheduled and the board of dlrec-
tors of the Association hopes that
the lovers of good sports will take
advantage of the opportunities az
forted. Arrangements will be made
so that reservations can be made for
the tennis courts so as not to allow
few to monopoliZe them at all
times.
The Association has sufficient
stock subscribed to finance the base
ball team but they must have add
tional stock subscribed to finance the
new grounds grand-stand, bleachers
and other expense necessary to make
an up-to- date athletic field.
The Dorchester County Athletlc
Association is an incorporated body
under the laws OF the State of Mary
land; every dollar received and spent
by them must be properly accounted
for and not one cent can be expended
for other than actual and legitimate
expenses of the new organization
made by the present board OF dlrec-
tors. 1t will not assume nor pay one
cent of Indebtedness of any former
organization, but will be conducted
strictly upon business basis.
From the arrangements being
made by other towns in the League
it is evident each place is doing It's
very best to have the fastest base
ball team. Can the people OF Cam
bridge afford to back down in the
running. To get things in shape
more stock must be subscribed at
once and when the grounds are put
into shape with the necessary grand
stand, bleachers, etc, the board OF
directors and Manager kibler
guarantee the people what they want,
namely a base ball team that will
