Hustlers Open 1956 Season With Firemen At Frederick
The Frederick Hustlers kick off their 1956 independent night season Friday at 6 30 p m at Mc Curdy Field against the Washington Firemen. Last year the Hustlers edged the Firemen 5 4, and DC Firemen s Association backed squad vows revenge as they top the semi pro Washington Industrial League. New lighting and seating upgrades aim to boost attendance as Hustlers consider a post game visit from the Homestead Grays next Monday. Manager Blethen tests two young pitchers Heatherly or Baker, with a new fifty percent gate-sharing policy for visiting clubs to gauge fan support and club quality.
