Local Fans Can Expect Some Inter
esting Fireside Baseball
These Days
Baseball fans in Harrlsburg will
have an opportunity to show their
loyalty in contributing to a plan to be
announced shortly by the local offi
cials. While it will be similar to the
boosting plans at Trenton, AUentown
and York, Harrisburg will have some
original features which will be con
sidered at the meeting of the Harris
burg officials on Wednesday.
Other towns are moving with con
siderable activity and the Trl-State
game promises additional interest each
week from now until the season opens.
Manager Jimmy Jackson, of the
local Tri-State League baseball team,
declares that the prospects for the
coming season will be found in the
class shown by the youngsters he has
udded to his nine. He said:
" 'Tex 'Myers, first baseman last
year, has written to me saying that
"V was satisfied with my terms and
he would send in his contract
,/hin a few days. Tom Brown, pitcher
fSst year, has already sent in his signed
contract. James Shoellenberger, Phila
delphia 'Prep' athlete and utility man
last year, has also signified his willing
ness of once more becoming a Chick."
Harry Pearce, a Philadelphia boy,
has been signed, and Jackson will look
to him to Mil the shortstop hole made
by the sale of Tony Marhefka to tho
New London club of the Connecticut
League. Of the other new men signed
by Jackson, there is George Zlbel, a
third baseman. This berth was occu
pied by Harry Fritz, the Philadelphia
schoolboy and Mack protege, who has
been sold to the State League. Zlbel
is a Philadelphian. He was with the
At I ' les last year when tho club was
at i aleigh, S. C., but became sick and
returned home.
Work of improving the York Tri-
State baseball grounds will begin as
soon as the weather moderates. The.
grandstand and the bleachers will be
strengthened.
Manager Heckert has notified all
candidates to report on April 20. An
exhibition game with Gettysburg Col
lege has been arranged for April 22.
Games will be played with Albright,
Lebanon Valley and a number of
semi-professional teams.
John F. Castle, manager of the Al
lentown Trl-State team, hit the trail
l'Or players this week, and in spite of
the snowdrifts has had admirable suc
cess. It will be the policy' of Fred J.
Lanshe, the new president of the Al
lentown club to assemble a team of
young players wher are "comers."
