four seasons; has 'proved a fertile training ground for the young and undeveloped players, and the first of these to make a try in league company is Joe" Murphy, the ataX' first sacker of the Truome team, who has forwarded his signed contract to the Brockton management and will fight it out with other for the position. Another who bids fair to graduate this year into league company is Charley Harrington, the versatile and effervescent. shortstop of the Talbots. Charley is well spoken of by all the fans in the city. and.

despite the fact that his modesty win not permit him to mention that he has several offers from managers of New England league teams, his close friends state that he has the selection of three team if he so chooses. At the present time bis parents are "against his taking up baseball as a means to a livelihood, although It is hoped they will relent befpre the season opens On April 10, Murphy will tuck bis bat under bis arm and start for Brook-ton to report. He has kept in condition throughout the winter by gymnasium work and is fit to put up the battle of bis life for first base. In the event of his being beaten out at this point. Joe is an excellent fielder and should land a pbtr in the outer garden rather easily, unless the regular outfielders are again given the preference.

Murphy was the best fielding first baseman of tbe City lewcue last sum mer and showed marked improvement each season. His style at bat is one of confidence and. although not a slug ger by any means, ne is a timely hit ter and hits when bingieff meaa runs, i he outlook is brilliant for Joe fend the City league playera and fans and the city, for that matter, will be looting for him in good shape. Aa for Harrington, he hardly needs any mention. His ability Is well City lesgue championship last season, attracting tho attention of managers.

A New England league club manager, whose team was playing In this city on a Saturday afternoon last summer, witnessed a game In which the -Talbots book part. The snappy work of Harrington caught his eye and ona of tbe offers is from this same manager. Charley took the Cottage City fans by storm while on barnstorming trip last fall and was immediately dubbed the Ty Cobb" of Fall River. On that occasion he played the outfield and captured hard hit bails which bade fair to terminate In home runs. As a hitter, Harring.

ton was one of the best in the City league. Another player who could. step in and draw down a salary from, a Nov England league team is Tommy En-wright, shortstop for the M. C. A.

Although only 16 5 ears of age, he stands well over six feet and weighs In the neighborhood of 175 rounds. He is a student at the B. M. C. Durfee High school and his parents have prevailed on him to await the finish of his college education before plaj Ing professional ball.

There Is any quantity of promising ball play-trs lined up with the City league learns. The league was fully a hundred per cent stronger last year than was the year previous, and if count for anything, the -league the coming season is to be a hummer. The league will he stronger In both leaving qualities and financially. The amateurs are out strong for the organisation and the general co-opera tlqn of the 'public, which has-been en joyed during the past years 111 be retained. City league managers are already scouring the city for talent and fast lineups will be In order with the opening of the season.

The Parish league has developed number of fast youngsters still In Pawtucket In American hall last evening. The contest was the worst seen on the rink this season. Menard refereed, but seldom saw fit to Interfere with the rough work which was a bad feature. "Heavy shoulder blocking pushing strangle holds, lifting, straight arm jabS, holding sticks and grinding against the bank, were all tried and only three times was the referee able to see anything out of the ordinary. Mullen was the real star and played brilliantly in the goal circle.

He booted out the ball from all angles and kept the crod In an uproar the greater part of the game. About half the fans were Providence rooters and they brought along a plentiful supply of noise. The Rovers were handicapped by the absence of Jean, who Is laid up with an injured right band. Miller, sixth man for Fall River, played In Jeans place and put up a good game, considering his lack of practice. He was especially strong on blocking and mixed into MeGilvray to good effect on- several occasions.

Providence scored twice tn the first period, Lewis making, both goals. Hgrdy was the goal-getter in the second period. His first drive went through both Holderness and Cuslck and found a lodging In the net. Forty-five seconds later he repeated the trick on a less difficult shot. Holderness got generouB and batted the ball Into his own cage, making the total stand 5 to 0.

The score resulted from a hot scrim-mage in front of the Pawtucket goal. In which everybody was swinging wildly at the ball. Tommys attempt was a little wilder than the rest his team suffered as a result Pawtucket finally scored In the third period after 11 minutes of play. The shot was made by Miller, and, while the ball hit Mullens pads. It caromed off just enough to go In.

Lewis added one more tally to" the Providence score and Saunders secured one more foul by holding Duggan. The particular offence for which he was penalized was no worse than what had been pulled off at all times during the game: The lineup and summurj-: Providence.
