CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION WORK
PERMANENT HEADQUARTERS AT
r
MINEOLA — SUMMER CAMPS AND CONFERENCES TO BE HELD.
The work of the Young Mens Christian Association is being organ¬ ized in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
The aaeoclation work was organ¬ ized at Huntington in July, 1913. This Is the only association on the Island outside of Brooklyn. The Huntington Assocatlon has employed a secretary, who has developed an all round program in co-operation with the otber constructive agencies and forces of the community.
Under the auspice* of the Hunting¬ ton AsBociatlon a camp for the older boys of the Island was conducted last year with nearly 100 boys in attend¬ ance. Annual conferences of older boys have been held at Huntington and Patchogue—the latter attended by 204 boys and adult leaders from 13 communities.
As a result of these leland-wide features and of the successful work at Huntington, there have been a num¬ ber of requests from different sec¬ tions tbat the organization and work be extended throughout the Island.
The State Executive Committee, which is the agency for the super¬ vision and extension of the associa¬ tion work in New York Slate, has made a preliminary survey of the need and opportuniiy for such work in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, and the measure of cooperation and sup¬ port has resulted in a provisional committee being formed to complete the survey of tlie fleld and to eslab¬ lish the association on a permanent basis in tbe two counties. This coiii- nilitee is J. B. Morrell. Northport. chairnian: Janies K. Baker. Greal Neck, Recording Secretary: S. A. Everitt, (harden City, Treasurer: Kd¬ win Chase Hoyt, Commack: U. H. Boggs, Rockville Centre, and Dr. ('¦.
ORGANIZED IN NASSAU CODNTY
_ Herbert Carter, Huntington. Otjier
members will be added to the com- miitep frorn other parts of the Island.
.Mr. Fred M. HiU, who has been for ttfteen years the Secretary of the County Work Department of the Young Men's Christian Association of New York State, has accepted the in¬ vitation of the committee to become the General Secretary of the associa¬ tion work in the Island. Mr. Hill has resided at Great .Neck for six years, he has had a large experience in county, village and rural organiza¬ tion work in .Minnesota and New York.
.Mr- Howaid R. Knight, of the De¬ partment of Recreation of tbe Rus¬ sell Sage Foundation, has been en¬ gaged as aselstant secretary and will begin work April flrst. Mr. Knight is well equipped for leadership in play, recreation and athletics.
The committee has established offlce headquarters In the Simonson Building, Mineola. Its flrst work will be to complete the survey of .Nassau and Suffolk Countiee. The survey will reveal the need for such work as the association wlll undertake and the extent to which the fleld is or- 'ganized, equipped and manned by other agencies. Cntil this survey is completed no plans will be formulat¬ ed for work in the local communities. This survey will be completed in the early summer and will be the basis for plans for permanent organization and a larger staff of employed work¬ ers, who will he made available to assist in the promotion and supervis¬ ion of play and athletics, educational and social activities, and moral and religious training.
It is the purpose of the association lo co-operate with existing construct¬ ive agencies and forces in individ¬ ual, urnup. conimunity and county development and to* help to co-ord¬ inate these agencies and forces for greater economy and efliciency.
The summer camp for older boys will bo conducted and considerable new ef|uipnxent provided. Further announcenient of the camp plans may be e.ypecteil soon.
HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL SEASON
OPENS APRIL 15-RAYNOR COACHING
CAPTAIN JAMES FUSSELL WILL BE MAINSTAY IN THE BOX— RIGBY OR PETTIT BEHIND THE BAT.
The Freepori High School team has been practicing daily since March 28th in preparation for the season which opens here on April 15th.
With Cutler. O'Brien and'Mulcahy gone, it is weakened to some extent. The return of .Ioe Pettit. second base¬ man and catcher in I'J 12 and 1913, should bolster up this sagging. Joe is fast, has had two years' experience with the Freepori A. A. team and if he does not hit 350 he ought to (luit for good.
"Pllly" Raynor. ex-Syracuse star, is coaching the boys. Raynor will be a flne coach—something Freeport has not had since James Nolan resigned.
Captain James Fussell will again be the mainstay In the box. Jim, with added confldence and a year's experience behind him. will be much better and his southpaw slants should baffle many a batter. In Rollo, the tall right bander, he wlll have an able assistant.
Rigby or I'ettit will be behind the bat. Tlie former is having dilflculties with hlssliulies which may keep hlin off the team. Rigby batted 281 last year, was leading run-gotter and stole more bases than any other two on the team, so it can easily be seen that he is a necessity. If Joe does play, he and Pettit will, in all probability, alternate between catcher and flrst base.
.At present the guardians of the initial sack are Bender and Hibbard. Bender is taller than Hibbard but tbere his superiority ceases. Jack is at least his equal in all other depart¬
ments. Roth arc outclassed, however, by Uigby and I'ettit.
The middle of the infleld is sirong- er than the wings. Here are found Johnston and Schwab at shortstop and second respectively, grabbing everything which comes their way. If this pair hat belter this season, they will be heard from before tbe laat game.
Third base is now the weak point. Last year there were three players at that sack: one good one. one mediuni and one "ham," O'Brien, Harris and i Brahl. You all know the "ham." This year there are only Iwo players who aspire to make Frank Baker green with envy, Rubenstein and Bergen. Uubenstein outclasses his rival who resembles nothing so much as a cow. Last year he tried for fhe outfielf and did not make it. now he a third baseman, next year he may be a pitcher. Dul back to Rubenstein. Hia arm is a little weak but he gets ground balls easily and cleanly. In hatting pratice he hits as hard as any one and. unless Harris appears, he will probably open the season at third. Bergen has a good arm but that lets him out. He is too big nnd clumsy.
None of this year's outfielders can class with Cutler or O'Brien, who wlll not play. Cutler ^a at Pratt Institute. He was the best high school outfielder seen in Freeport in .several years. Joel Pitcher, the manager, is out for left field and should play that posi¬ tion if nothing happens. He has a good arm but is we.ik with the stick. Rollo is too good a hitter to sil on the iiencii when he is not pitching, so most likely he will be among the dandelions and clover in right field when the season starts. Goller, last year's centre fielder, should have no trouble retaining his position ovor Percy Smith, De Voolt, Deagon and Kalian- The last named is a left handed pitcher and outflelder.
