TEAM STRENGTH OF
EASTERN LEACUERS
DUE TO START TODAY

Springfield, Mass, April 20.-(P)--
| The Eastern League, opening its
| season in four cities tomorrow. will
| try a former great pitcher as presi-
t-manager in Providence. for
| mer umpire as chief in Hartford, and
a comparative youth as leader in
Bridgeport.
Perhaps the most interesting ex-
pertinent is found in Hartford, where
ST Mcdonald, who for several years
has ruled on strikes and balls in the
circuit. has been installed as man.
agerial successor to Paddy O'Con-
nor. In 1924 Waterbury took the in
dictator away from Kitty Bransfield
and made him manager. Two
straight pennants resulted.
RUDE Marquard, great left handler
of the majors in the past, holds the
reins at Providence and expects to
pitch occasionally. He has said that
he will start against Pittsfield in the
opening game in the Rhode Island
capital.
Frank Buddy Stapleton. former
Pittsfield and Waterbury first base
man, faces a serious problem in
Bridgeport, where the franchise has
been tossed around all winter. Re-
Gently syndicate of Bridgeport men
took it over and the players were
summoned for, their first practice
only yesterday. Waterbury and
Springfield helped Stapleton in
forming an outfield while extensive
pitching re- enforcements have been
brought up, along with other new
material.
| Waterbury's champions appear as
strong as ever, although the veteran
right handlers, Rush and Fuller,
hay-n a1caxuhara nj
Yordy will work in the Bridgeport
outtield for a time at least but a
strong hitting aggregation is left.
New Haven, Providence. Hartford,
Springfield and Albany are expected
to furnish the opposition this sea-
son, although Pittsfield. under Neal
Ball. may push in among the con-
tenders.
New Haven has strong all
around combination. The pitching
problem faced by Jack Flynn has
been solved by the acquisition of
Sam Hyman, left handler Up to this
week Flynn had no southpaws ready
for the fray.
Hartford lacks catchers Of proved
value but has one of the best mound
staffs in the league with Owen and
Johnson as its outstanding perform
ers. The inner and out defense are
of good calibre with three veterans
in the outfield.
Providence. transferred from
Worcester, will have the overflow
from the Boston Braves and Mar
guard predicts a good season. The
city was in the International League
for a time last year and there is
some skepticism as to the reception
of Class A baseball there, instead OF
"AA."
Springfield's pitching squad is I'M
certain, with several recruits to be
tested. BraXton has gone to the
Yankees and Mayberry and Fortune.
members of the staff for several
campaigns. have decided to remain
in the south. There also is a gap
at second base left by Herrera's de-
parture TO play with the Red Sox.
Bill McCorry's Albany team will
have several veterans and with the
addition of Fuller to the mound staff
expects to keep pin the race.
The opening games are scheduled
as follows:
Springfield at Albany
Pittsfield at Providence
Bridgeport at New Haven.

COLD WEATHER
CONTINUES JINX TO
COLBY BALL CLUB
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Waterville, Me- April 20-Cold
weather which has nearly ruined the
early baseball season at Colby today
made 1t impossible for the men to
get out of doors. The practice game
against the University of Maine
which was scheduled to be played
here yesterday afternoon was post
poned because Of the cold weather
and will be played next Saturday in
all probability. The men have taken
two practice games during the past
few days, two teams being chosen
from the squad to work out together.
Coach Roundy has thus been able to
get a line on his men and estimate
their respective abilities. Today the
coach announced the members of the
two squads and the first squad met
in Recitation Hall for skull practice
late In the. afternoon. The battery
men worked out in the gymnasium
earlier and were given individual in
struction. Trainor, Heal, and Muir
are at present the leaders for pitch
ing berth and all three will probably
be used on the first trip of the season
which starts on Monday when the
men play their first game away from
home. This trip will take the greater
part Of week and will include sew
eral New England colleges, chiefly in
Massachusetts.
The final cut of the season occurred
today when Coach Roundy announced
| the members of the two remaining
squads. The first group consists of
those men whom the coach considers
his best although without doubt some
of the members of Squad B win grad
uate into the A combination before
the Massachusetts trip. These two
squads are divided as follows: Squad
A, Keith and MacLean, catchers;
Trainor. Heal and Muir. pitchers:
MCGOWAN, Macdonald, O'Brien, Smart
! and Mari, infielders: Captain Pea
body, Callaghan, Fagerstrom, and
Franzen, out1elders: Squad B, Flet-
cher. Hanson, McKeen, Anderson,
| Seekins Bennett, Could Lanier. Eric
! son, Tierney, Mailer, Niziolek, Nc
Croary, Scott, Hannifin, Honan and
Saucier.
The men who did not survive the
cut will be under Coach Roundys
supervision at IL o'clock every morn
| ing when a special session for these
men will be held on the athletic field.
At the present time neither the var
sity nor the second squad is able to
get out of doors because of weather
conditions.
