NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BASEBALL ASSOCIATION 
OrcANIZED For ComMiING SEASON AT 
Rousinc Merrtinc IN 
CARPENTERS HALL. 
The overwrought nerves of the 
Manchester baseball fans may now 
relapse into their normal state, for - 
the war forces of the baseball asso- 
ciation are organized for business. 
At a meeting at which the fans filled 
Carpenters hall on Wednesday eve- 
ning and optimism prevailed new of- 
ficers were chosen for the ensuing 
year and a program of action adopt- 
ed. After receiving a unanimous 
vote reelecting him as president of 
the association William W. Hoare de- 
clined to continue in office this year 
and W. R. Bell was unanimously 
chosen to guide the affairs of the as- 
seciation for the ensuing year. 
Charles W. Sawyer was elected vice 
president, Frank L. Floyd was re- 
erected secretary and William W. 
Hoare was elected treasurer to suc- 
ceed Ira E. Irish, resigned. The ad- 
visory board, composed of Raymond 
C. Allen, Percy A. Wheaton, John C. 
Mackin, James Hoare and Charles E. 
Williams, was reappointed. The fol- 
lowing were appointed members of 
the entertainment committee for the 
ensuing year: Allan Dennis, Hollis 
Bell, James Murray, Frank A. Foster 
and W. B. Rogers. 
The report of the secretary was 
read and approved and the secretary 
read the report of the treasurer, Ira 
E. Irish, together with Mr. Irish’s 
resignation. The executive board’s 
report and recommendations were 
read by Raymond C. Allen and re- 
ceived with enthusiasm. The item of 
first importance to the members ot 
the association was the announcement 
of the board’s election of Alfred 
Walen as manager of the ball team 
for the ensuing year. Appreciation 
was expressed of the services of the 
resigning manager, Charles Fritz, and 
regret expressed for the loss to the 
association. The finances of the as- 
sociation are in a flourishing condi- 
tion due to the generosity of patrons 
and the success of the final series. 
Two methods of procedure for the 
1917 season were suggested by the ad- 
visory board and the second strongly 
recommended. The first plan was to 
“play safe” this season by securing 
less able players than last year and 
meeting a poorer grade of teams, 
thus finishing the season with a safe 
bank balance. The other plan of ac- 
tion was adopted without qualification 
by the fans. It authorized the new 
manager to “go after” the best semi- 
professional talent available for this 
- season even if the prices were a little 
high. This course of action it was

felt was more sportsmanlike and in 
the long run would do more for the 
game. It is hoped to have another 
series at the wind-up of the season to 
save the treasury from a deficit. 
The advisory board also recom- 
mended the revision of the by-laws 
and the board was designated to 
make such revision. It was decided 
to postpone any campaign for new 
members until after the revision of 
the by-laws by which time the age 
limit and other qualifications of mem- 
bership will have been determined. 
The board will report on the revision 
at the next meeting of the association 
which is called for Wednesday eve- 
ning, Feb. 28. 
Manager Walen imparted the in- 
formation that he was “pretty sure” 
Devlin, the speedy first-baseman of 
last season, would be with Manches- 
ter again this year.
