After three weeks of practicing,
getting over loose playing and in
general rounding into shape, the in
door baseball players are now ready
to launch the Gateway City League.
So fascinating has the game proved
to participants and spectators alike,
even after so short a trial, the suc
cess of the league is practically as
sured; and W. R. Shellhorne, in
charge of the baseball affairs for the
Seward Athletic club, is working with
the various captains forming teams
and planning the schedule.
It is expected that the cable of
fice, under the captaincy of Burr M.
Snyder, operator in charge, president
of the Seward Athletic club and
conquered hurler of the recent Goofs,
will enter a team composed of their
own members. Under the monicker
of "Bay Shores,” or "Water Fronts”
a second team will be selected from
members of the government wharf,
the Standard Oil and other sections
in the beach vicinity; while a strong
aggregation of up-town players is
' to constitute the third team.
An equal distribution of ability
among the members of the three 1
enumerated teams is apparent. The
cable office having on its roll: Sny
der, Tinkler, McLaughlin, McNally,
Bowley, Robison, Guest, Murphy and
Rust; eligibles for the Water Fronts
are: Painter, Erwin, Paulsteiner,
Hopkins, Johnson, Selby, Jessen, Bro
sius, Moehring and Dyer. While the
up-town bunch, or Gateway City team
as they may later elect themselves
to be called, in the organization, have
the following splendid material to
build a championship team with:
Hannon, Bailey, Rbberts, Rucker, Va
lade, Shellhorne, Gus Manthey, Coop
er, Heckman, Barnett and others.
If length means anything in pitch
ing, the City team may consider
themselves well fortified in having
Hannon, who at least measures up
to the standard of stature as set by
"Slim” Snyder and "Long Tom” Dyer.
In the catching department too, can
the City crew boast of good strength,
as they have Bailey and Manthey
to choose from, to do the receiving.
Both arg able backstops. Tinkler
and Hopkins will probably catch for
the other two teams.
To the gratification of ail the play
ers, Joe Badger has consented to be
the League’s chief arbiter. A league
secretary will be appointed and rec
ords of the batting averages kept.
Though Chairman Shellhorne hasn’t
announced which two teams will
clash first, Tuesday nite of each
week continues to be the official
time for the games.
