Kenly, Mar. 28—Manager Balance has started rounding his cohorts into shape for the 1925 scrap in the Central League composed of Nashville, Pinetops and Elm City.
Manager Balance, of the local club, states that he has some very good youngsters to pick from. Most of the veterans of last year’s team are back ready to start the grind. As far as Manager Balance knows now, the following line-up will participate in the first game: Edgerton, third base; Watson, second base; Hooks, short stop; Holland, left field; Cheek, second base; Balance, first base; Moore, catcher; Jeffries, center field; and probably Flowers, right field.
Flowers had a bad slump last year but the manager expects the speedy outfielder to hit the old apple hard the coming season. Just how many pitchers will hold down the mound is not known yet. The season starts in May.
