PLAN FOR SEASON
Burritt A. C. Making Preparations for a Busy Campaign on the Dia- nlOnd This Year,

Plans are being made by the Bur ritt A. C., champions of the City Baseball league for the past two years. for the coming season. Prac- tically every member of last years team will be on hand again this year and the Burritts expect to have one of the strongest teams in the city. done yet towards organizing the team two practices have been held by prospective candidates for the team. A large squad reported for practice on Good Friday, among them being Marian Zaleski. last seasons catcher, catcher's position on the Fordham freshman nine. Johnny" Rose, pitching ace of the Burritts, is ex- pected to be on the mound again this year.
 The locals arc aiming towards plan. The team has played Sunday games during other years but not to any great extent. They hope to schedule a steady list of Sunday battles during the coming season. If the City league reorganizes it is prob- able that the Burritts will enter and strive to capture the title for the third year in succession.
 A reputation that has spread around the state has fallen to the lot of the Burritts because of its heavy hitting powers and it's excel lent pitching. With two years ot experience behind them the locals should prove to be hard team te beat this season. A meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at tho Bur- ritt club rooms to make final ar- engagements for the season regarding the captain. manager and uniforms All the members of the club are re. quested to be present so that some thing definite can be plishcd.

 They told him that De Forest was heart and soul Dempsey man. that he would school him wrong and be- tray him and Firpo left De Forest. It isn't too much to believe that if Firpo had stuck with De Forest he would have won the championship. In his fight with Dempsey. Firpo was beaten considerably in his own corner by amatcurish handling.
 When Hccney arrived in this country, he. too hooked up with an old timer, Charley Harvey. But he stuck with him against all tempta- tions to throw him over and therein may be the difference.
