GAPE MAY TO HAVE AN ATHLETIC PARK BASE BALL POINTERS FOR THIS SEASON ' Local Fans Expect the New Team to Win 1 , i Glory and Championship—Committee- ; t men Snelke, Kearns and Barton will ; c Appoint a Manager Soon. ; i ' i

That the base ball fans of Oape May will be given splendid opportunity to enjoy the National pastime to the fullest extent and in a thoroughly satisfactory manner during the coming season, was made an assured fact when it was announced this week that the Board of Trade had obtained a tract of land oc the Robb Estate. The ground secured is of sufficient area to be converted into an up-to-date bell park, f and is located near tbe site of the old Athletic Park. Possession for this purpose was secured through tbe efforts of A. T. Haynes, President of the Board of Trade. The site is on ground of an elevation to guarantee perfect drainage and will graded in such manner that the diamond and outfield will always be in good playing condition and the handi.to the .teams of playing on wet grounds after showers will be practically eliminated, and even severe rains will have but slight effect on it. The infield will be built according to modern base ball ideas used by diamond building experts and critics, and will have a bed of gravel rolled |hard and properly leveled with alight decline from center to the lines. This | will be covered by a few inches of loam, which will make It of high|standard and exceedingly fast. The grounds will be enclosed by a board fence and a magnificent grand stand of cantilever roof support dsBign will be erected. Tbis will give those attending games an unobstructed view of the entire field and they can witness the ."games in com- . fort. Adequate bleachers will be. erected along the third and first base lines at distance not to interfere with ' the fielding of players. Under the I grand stand will be built the players • dressing rooms, and compartments to i store all necessary paraphernalia re- ; quired to keep tbe grounds in proper I shape. Circling the field will be built i a quarter-mile track, which will be i used tor athletic functions of various : kinds. Tbe field will be under tbe . supervision of a care taker who will i be responsible for ths condition of - the place. l The formal opening of the park will t be on July the Fourth, and elaborate > arrangements will be made for the 1 event. A strong team will be secured ! for an afternoon game, and the two club*, beaded bv a band, and accom- j

panied by members of Board of Trace, Council, Mayor, snd other prominent citizens, will parade to grounds, after which the opening ceremon es will be held. An effort will be made to secure the Leeds team, of Philadelphia, for this occasion. This team is very popular with Oape May base ball fans, and always carry a fast aggregation. They gave Oape May several hot contests, last summer. Tbe morning of the Fourth will be devoted to various amueementa and athletic contests, including foot races, jumping contests, vaulting, putting the shot, sack races, potato races, greasy pole climbing, and a number of other entertaining features. In the evening at tbe park there will be a grand display of fire works, and a band will be on hand te render appropriate music while the pyro technical display is going on. This will be a splendid place for iAichf entertainments as tbe grand stand and bleachers will be admirably adapted to enabla tbe people to witness the display amid tbe most pleasing and comfortable environments A number of electric ; lights will be strung around the grounds in clusters of sufficient numbers to illuminate tbe incloeure ' brilliantly. 1 The outlay necessary for th's laod- [ able enterprise will be about *8,000, and when plana are completed work

I ' will immediately start. All this will i i require a great amount of work to get 1 : everything in shape for tbe opening t ■ data, and public spirited citizens are : requested to give all aid possible to 1 : make the venture a success. Those \ ; who realize the importance of this £ i class of amusement will recognize tbe ! benefit it will be to tbe resort, and a > will. Undoubtedly, give the enterprise a I their hearty support, as a test ball 1 r team 'is always an lrreeiatable attrac- j r tion to the majority of tbe A men can d : people Between now and tbe opening o 1 of the park various entertainments d will be given by the Board of Trade to r i help raise the necessary funds. The v 1 first of these will be the Minstrel t ! Show to be given on Friday and Sat- r i urday evenings, April 8th and 9th. a - This will later be followed by other c i forms of entertainment. fc A test combination of ball players t i will be gotten together, who will give j i tbe city a representative team un- c ) equalled in tbe history of the town, \ - and although last year's team was an i 1 exceedingly fast one, efforts will be i 1 made to considerably strengthen this 1 > year's team in several departments. 1 1 Among tbe players who will be with ] , the team are Louis and 'Mike Machado, e 1 of last summer's team. Both are first t class pitAers and fast fielders. Louis 1 t 'Machado is also a hard hitter and t ^ speedy base runner, and led with the t . stick last season. Drews, the former \ I Princeton twirler, and well known ( . here will also . be on the team, and ; ; j another big left banded slab ar'.ist, t . from tbe North Penn League, has 1 1 8 been secured, and with several other t pitchers will be given a trial, j The catchers to be tried out in the ^ , preliminary games will be Bloch. of B Philadelphia, a fast and heady young I j 0 catcher ; Oozens, the hard hitter and j . crack catcher of U. of P., and Bell,: r of last year's Gape May team. The i t latter two are well known here and | ( e their value on the receiving end at ' ( 8 steadying up pitchers is beyond doubt, i ( e and Cozens lines them down to second j in s manner to makes the running hug , f first closely. They will very likely be i ( retained through the season. r II At the initial sack, Jefferson, tbe old ( # Yale player and of last year's team, I e and Hoey, last season with the Leed's ( j club, will fight it out for the position o These two men can cover plenty | xnese two men tan cuybi plenty

I ground, are handy wit'i the stick and fast on bases. Second will he occupied by either . Melchery, of the Ohio aod Pennsylvania League, or Simpson, of Huntington. Doth have good records and will be given a thorough try out. Smiley : and Thayer, both U. of P. players, ! will tight it out for the third station, 1 , while Oorkran, with last year's team, . and Keating, of tne Hippodrome tram, wi'l battle for the short field position. 1 Among those secured for the outer ' garden are Nixon, of Atlantic City ; j , Shank, of Huntington, and Deibert, a youngster from the coal regions, and several others. Deibert is a promising > young player, a hard hitter and>peedy 1 on bases. He can also do a (urn at pitching if required. This is a choice collection of talent '■ to select a team from and will surely ' produce a winning combination, r Several preliminary games will be played before tbe opening of the park on the Fourh, to give the players a 1 thorough try out. Tbe season will last 1 until September and it is the intention . to play t game every day, Sunday ex- ■ cepted, and among tbe teams that will be seen here daring the summer ' are : Leeds club, Frankford, Southi wark, Atlantic City, Bridge ton, Hunt1 ing ton, Braddock. Tyrone, Berwick: , Homestead of Pittsburg. Maryland : A. o. and Walbrook A. O., of BalU1 mere, and the best semi-professional - teams in and around Philadelphia An . effort will also be made to get eeverml " big league and Tri -State teams to play exhibition games bare during tbe 2 The local fans are hoping that Chariee L. Brownmiller. who ae successfully handled tbe team last season, will again be appointed manager for t tbe coming season. but as yet no choice i has been decided upon.
