Harrington High Expects to
Make Run for End Pennant
With ideal weather conditions
prevailing for the past two weeks, !
Coach Fitzgerald and Manager
Simpson have been giving the last
years Champs daily workouts, and
the entire team is fast rounding in
to mid-seasOn form. Only one or two !
cases OF sore arms are reported. |
These players are practicing daily |
but are taking matters easy and ex- |
pect to be in first class shape for |
the opening game. At the close of |
school last year, Cahall, utility in |
fielder graduated and Richards, the |
regular shortstop stopped school, |
Another valuable player lost to the
school this year is pitcher and Sec
ond baseman Masten. Due to being
behind in his subjects he is not
eligible to play, but it is thought the
gap caused by his absence can be
nl!ed from the wealth Of material
Delng drafted from the junior class.
Laws and Taylor, both members of
the Junior class, are expected to
greatly assist Slim Ryan with the
pltchlng burden. Both are new COM
ers and have not been under fire.
therefore 1t would be too early to
forecast the results. A number of
others are working hard to land a
regular berth on the team, includ-
ing George Taylor and Harrington
and Welch, all Outfielders. Winnie 1
burgess, lntielder. Welch is a bro 1
ther OF Milton Welch, who was the 1
high school pitching ace two years
ago. Winnie Burgess is also a bro I
ther to Darlington BURGESS. who I
guards the initial sack in fine style I
and is a power with the stick. I,
Captain Short will again be be- I,
hind the plate and be a terror to op- 3
posing runners when they attempt
to steal a bag. He still has another o
year with the high school besides -
this one and he enters the game this Q,
year much taller and about fen o.
pounds heavier. No greater GENTLE o.
men in sport ever donned base .,
ball uniform and his many friends -
are pulling for his success. Plans ..
are being made to get him a tryout Q.

ing their practice games. .,
