Harrington Team After State
Banner


ly come to a close this week and the
scene of activity will be the base
hall diamond at the high school. j.
H. Holloway is the unanimous choice
of the league for president next win
ter. The local base ball fans are very
much elated over the prospects of
winner this year. Judging from the
0uality of candidates trying for the
team. there should be enough under
studies to support the varsity nine.
Graduation exercises two years ago
broke up a team that was the pride
of Harrington and since that time
Coach Murray has been very Dusy
building a team that would be aDle
to cope with the other teams IN the
State for the d. l. A. A. Banner. IL
looks as if his ambitions Will soon
be realized because most OF the
team have three or four years OF
schooling yet and will be playing to-
gether for sometime. When Loach |
Murray called for practice twenty
candidates reported. In his whole
team there is but one senior, William
Taylor. Most of the team are mem
bers of the Junior class and if they
don't come out on top this year, they
should be able to give the leaders a
hard rub. As yet the diamond is too !
soggy to get in any practice there /
Int the athletes are limberins up |
their muscles in the Outfield terri
tory. The following candidates are
out trying for the team: B. Hollo-
way, Peck, C; Legates, Virgin, LORD |
and Finch, p; Lord, Wright, Id; w.
Holloway, Galloway, w. Taylor and
70. TAYLOR. 2b; Mitchell and Finch, SIS; !
Locates, 3b; O'Neal, Chapman Man !
ship. Harrington and Taylor, out
,fieIders. Among the prospective can
didates are one senior, four juniors,
two sophomOres, three freshmen and
the other candidates are from the |
grades. Lord and Locates are eX-
pected to be the mainstaYs in the |
nitcher's box. Locates did not play |
last year on account of being down |
in his studies. He will replace Moore |
the main twirler of last year who IS
not eligible. Butler of last years
squad is out of the lineup because
of lack of interest in his studies.
Holloway will be assisted on the re-
ceiying end by Peck, who ought to
be a big help by inheriting this art
from his dad. Wright, a new man
halls from Denton, Md, and comes
very highly recommended and is
said to be an all around man, can
be used as a pitcher, catcher ana
will likely be seen at first base some
times. The outfielders are all listed
as rockies and will be given every
opportunity to make good, however,
the regulars will be switched around
in the games that count for the team
standing. William Louder Masten
was selected for manager and Fred
Lord is captain of the team. The ,
tentative schedule is as follows:
Friday, March 3O-Felton VS.. Har-
home.
