ing into shape for the strenuous
campaign ahead. The Hechtmen,
runners-up last year, will meet
the Lansburgh nine on Monu,
ment Lot diamond No. 4 at ii
o'clock.
Manager Messink. somewhat
dissatisfied with the showing of
his charges last season, has done
thorough job of house cleaning
with respect to this years nine.
No less than eight new faces will
be found in the present teams
roster.
The outfield comprises two new
comers, Frank Sheaffer and Jack
Toomey. The former was main
stay with the Central High nine
Of three years ago, while Toomey
cavorted in the garden for Con-
zaga High last season. The other
members include Morris Moss,
holdover from last year, and
Berry and Messink, who will alter
nate when not pitching.
In the infield will be found Joe
Lipkin, former Rialto Club star:
Roy KidWell, considered one Of
the best shorstoppers hereabouts;
Bob Wright, ex-Detroit sandlotter,
and Sidney Alenstein, who is re-
turning to the team after a years
absence. Alenstein was a mem
ber of the championship club in
1881. Abe Ershan. second base
man, has been retained, and Mike
GasS, who last season covered the
shortfield, has been assigned to
the first sack. The boy Gass is
very much at home in his new po-
sition and promises to reach the
peak of his ability this year.
The catching department. has
been strengthened by the addition
of Sam Gordon, who three years
ago was backstopping for Emer-
son. Dave Penney, soccer ball
star with Columbia Heights in the
season just closed. and Barney
Weeks, another very capable re-
ceiver, round out the remainder
of the staff.
The twirling will be handled by
Fred Berry. Tom Doerer, jr., and
Paul Messink. Both Berry and
Messink are dependables from last
season, while Doerer is expected
to prove his worth.
1t was anticipated that the club
would also have Walter Hurley
and Bob McCracken, but unfor-
tunately Hurley has gone else
where, while McCracken is under
the care of a physician and may
not be available until the second
series begins.

That title is misleading, too, be-
cause it means that the contest
