Trotals all the earmarks of a big leaguo open- 2 ing, with the mayor tossing out the first ball. Local interest im tha New Departure team is centered in the | | fact that Eddle Goeb, the former Ploneer star., will be with the Bell | | City club this season. Goeb will al- ternate between the pitcher’s mound | and the outfleld. When tho local boy is not hurling, Eddie Goodridge will do the flinging. Burke, last year with the Stanley Works, will also wear an Endee uniform this year. The Park City will have most of the playera who have performed . against the Ploneers in pa seasons, Moshe:, Pjura, Christy, Cheevy and “Kid" Sherwood. The team hds been strengthened with several playera who formerly wore American Chain company uniforms. As tomorrow’s contest is the only sporting attraction in this section, it is probable that a large delegation of local rootera for Goeb and Burke will be on hand to witness thae fray.
