Commenting on the baseball pros- 
pects for 1917 in Essex County semi- 
pro circles the Salem News recently 
had a good dead to say about Man- 
chester’s chances for this year. After 
telling of the change in the manage- 
ment and the signing of Devlin, 
O’Leary and Sheehan for the infield 
it Says: 
“Manchester’s big worry has been 
about its battery for this season. In 
part this has been settled, for the old 
southpaw, Hal Grover, will bend 
them across as usual. Some of the 
fans have thought the team needed a 
good right-hander for emergency and 
Manager Walen may add one to his 
list before the season starts, Gourley, 
the Peabody youngster who put up a 
classy game last season, is booked for 
right field again this year. Thus for 
it looks as if Manchester might be 
there when the roll is called on Dec- 
oration day. 
“Walen has his eye on one of the 
best shortstops at large, who is will- 
ing to play in Manchester this sum- 
mer if the big leagues will let him 
alone. ‘Crim’ declines to divulge his 
name until he has his claws on. him. 
Another dark horse in Manchester’s 
line-up this year is the catcher. Per- 
kins, who has stood the brunt of the 
backstop work in past seasons, will 
not be on hand this summer. His 
- MANCHESTER 
successor is a college. boy who is said 
to be a wonder.” 
NEWS-STAND PRICE OF BREEZE WILL 
ADVANCE May 1I—SUBSCRIBE 
Now AND SAve Money. 
As announced last week, beginning 
May 1, the price of the Breeze, at 
news-stands, will be advanced to 10 
cents a copy for the six-month period, 
May to October, inclusive, at least, 
and possibly after that. Readers of 
the Brerze should not misunderstand 
this statement: It is the news-stand 
price of the BrrEzE that advances 
and not the subscription price. Sub- 
scription (paid in advance in accord- 
ance with the postal requirements) 
will continue at the old rate of $2 a 
year, and $1 for six months. 
This radical change is made im- 
perative because of the unusual ad- 
vance in the price of paper. 
We would urge upon those of our 
readers who are not regular subscrib- 
ers, to place their order for the 
BREEZE so that it may be mailed them 
regularly every Friday morning. The 
subscription rate figures only 4c a 
copy, as compared with toc, which 
will be the news-stand price everyone 
not a subscriber will have to pay af- 
ter this month. 
The price of everything is going up, 
yet our subscription price remains the 
same. What’s the moral?
