We are in receipt of a communication from our baseball team mascot to the effect that the Edison Storage Battery Co. baseball fans will hold a meeting shortly and wished us to call the attention of their Honorable Manager, Mr. McClain, to the fact that they have suits but no players, and they hoped Mr. Mac would be able to get up a real team this year and go into the league. The communication
also advised us where we could procure the "bats," but we had rather not tell where it was. "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thought of" — baseball. It was suggested that in order to make a good record this year the team should confine itself to games with Silver Lake and leave the Bronx Studio's team alone.
