Local Fans
Are Encouraged
Showing Made By Pleasant
vile Regulars Against
the Jeffries.
Games With Morris Guards
Morris Guards Here Satur-
day-Sunday in Atlantic
City-Egg Harbor Here
Two Games Monday.

While the Pleasantville Regu-
lars lost two games in the start
OF the season, local fans are not
in the least discouraged. To the
contrary, they point to the fact
that the Jeffries team which
scored two victories over Pleas
antville, is the strongest baseball
aggregation in Atlantic City. The
showing made by Pleasantville
against Jeffries is regarded as in
dicative of one of the best and
most interesting baseball seasons
which the shore has seen in
years.
Good baseball is promised for
Saturday, when Pleasantville will
meet the Morris Guards on the
local diamond at Floral Park.
There will be a return game at
Bacharach Park Sunday.
Egg Harbor will play two games
in Pleasantyille Monday, one in
the morning and the other in the
afternoon.
The Regulars are at practice
each evening and are rounding
INTO form for a great season.
