BROOKLYN DODGERS WILL ARRIVE
THIS MORNING FOR THREE GAME
PARTY OF NEARLY FIFTY, IN.
GLIDING HIGH LIGHTS OF
BASEBALL, BE HERE
ON 9:45 TRAIN.

The stage is setl The Brooklyn
Dodgers, National league champions of
1920. will arrive in Pensacola this
morning on the s:45 o'clock train from
Jacksonville to do battle with the
Louisville Colonies, champions of the
Junior world series, on Maxent Park
diamond tomorrow, Monday and Tues
day. Never before have the people Of
Pensacola had such an opportunity to
see two teams OF so much prominence
perform on local grounds.
Manager Wilbert Robinson, one OF
the brainiest men IN baseball, is bring
ing practically his entire squad, regu-
lars, rockies and all on this trip. The
list includes such players as Ivan OIL
sen, Burieigh Grimes, Jimmie john
son, Sherrod Smith, Zach Wheat-and
a coterie OF others. Altogether the
party will number about fifty. Res
ervanions have been made for forty
four at the San Carlos.
Under the warm sunshine Of the
past week the Colonies have been
whipped into splendid form by Man
ager Mccarthy, who is confident that
his athletes will give the Dodgers the
battle of their lives. He has large
number of recruits that have made
exceptional showings during the work
outs, but these are not likely to be
sent into the game. as his first string
men are all in the pink of condition
with the probable exception of one or
two.
Several of the rockies are making
strong bids for regular positions and
If they keep 1T up there may DE some
radical changes in the Colonies line
UP during the coming season.
The Brooklyn manager will take his
boys out on Maxent Park field this
afternoon between the hours of 2 and
4 o'clock in preparation for the wide
ly heralded series. The local fans
will no doubt see them-unless every
gate is locked and a brabed-wire en-
tanglement is placed around the park
Just how the Dodgers will line up
on tomorrow afternoon is not known
yet, but 1t is reasonable to expect that
Otto Miller will do the receiving dur
ing tho first part of the contest. A
rookie may get chance towards the
last. Bill Meyer, rated as the best re-
ceiver in the minor leagues, viii most
likely start for the Colonies.
Besides Manager Wilbert Robinson,
and Fred Hanlon, travelling represen-
tative of the team, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.

league park in Brooklyn is named,
