About half of this number are veterans of last year's team which won the cham- plonship of the northern Trade schools, 8o far the fight for positions on the team has been so intense that only three positions are settled—these are Miller at backstop, Kullkowski at third and Vange in centerfield. When Bowen, a southpaw, left school it left a large gap at first which is still open, Witham may used there or it is possible that t. Anderson will be shifted to the first sack. Kaja a hard hitter and clean flelder as well as a star bogman is putting up a stiff fight for t! keystone sack and if Capt, Anderson Is moved Kania will probably take his place. Fusarl, a ohip off the old block, is showing so well at short there is a possibility of his replacing the veteran Fric An- derson for this poesition For the out- field position several fast men are available namely, Conlin, Herold, Vet- torelio, Tolll and Znosko, Of this list Merold and Znosko played on last year's team while Vettorello and Con- Hn are both fast men, any two of the five would fit well with Vance on the outer defence. The pitching burden seems to fall on two very capable men, Kania and Andeen. The former lad held St. Thomas Seminary to ‘ two hits last season while pitching for New Britain High school while the latter was the main stay in the box for Middletown High last vear. With the opening game only a few days away some hard practices will be held in expectations of a victory. How They Line up in Four Leagues National League New York 4, Brooklyn 3. Chicago 7, 8t.

I saw stars and it seemed for a while like something was driving a hot,needle through it. “In the excitement of the contest, however, I soon forgot the pain and although it hurt me a great deal for some time afterward I did not con- sider it anything serious. “At the end of the month I noticed that it was not getting any better and thgt: my «'ght was growing worse, I consulted the best special- ists I could find and they advised me to let it go for a time. ] “At the end of six months, they, took a cataract from the right eye, but instead of helping me, I found that the operation made me perfectly blind in that eye.
