MANCHESTER has been bitten by 
the “baseball bug.” National pol- 
itics, railroad strikes and the war 
take back seats in every conversation 
these days. Boasting a team which 
has met only one defeat this season 
and which is to make a bid for the 
semi-professional championship of this 
vicinity in a series with Marblehead, 
Manchester fans have a right to get 
enthusiastic. With Grover in the box, 
backed by a heavy-hitting, fast-field- 
ing aggregation of ball-tossers, Man- 
chester has presented a combination 
hard to beat. For the series which 
will open tomorrow in Marblehead 
the local nine will be strengthened by 
the addition to the lineup of “Bob” 
Conley, a brother of “home-run Lar- 
ry,” the centerfielder. The last mem- 
ber of the Conley family to be booked 
by Manchester is said to be a wonder 
at the bat and will be a valuable 
Stoneham Game, Monday, With 
recruit. ‘Bill’ Sheehan, whose hit- 
ting in the Beverly series last year 
defeated Manchester, will also be in 
the lineup tomorrow and will be de- 
pended upon to put a crimp in the 
pitching of Davies, Marblehead’s 
crack southpaw. Grover will start 
the opening game, which will be 
staged on the diamond at Marblehead. 
As a second string pitcher Manchester 
will have Whitaker, the star Tufts 
College twirler, a right-hander. He 
will probably be saved for the sec- 
ond game of the series, which is 
booked for Saturday, the 16th, at the 
severly High school athletic field. 
Collins and Gourley are the two men 
in the regular lineup who will prob- 
ably be benched in the opening game. 
Manchester’s chances of cleaning 
up the series have brightened con- 
siderably by the addition of the two 
new men and the fans will turn out . 
in force to attend the premier con- 
test. A fife and drum corps (and 
Fritz Miller) will accompany the nine’ 
to Marblehead. The game is sched- 
uled to start at 3.30 p. m., with “Pie” 
Long and Al Whalen doubling up on 
the umpiring. 
Rhett Roseman returns to Wash- 
ington today after a month’s vacation 
from his duties with the Smithsonian 
Institution. He has been with his 
father, John Roseman, at the Munn 
estate. 
There was a good attendance at the 
last concert of the season by the Salem 
Cadet band in Central sq. last even- 
ing. Several hundred persons listened

by Nelson Bernier. A number of pop- 
ular hits were interspersed among the 
classical numbers and several extras 
were added by Conductor Missud.
