We were talking to Mike Kopliner the other day about his Princeton Athletic Club ball team which he steered to the Central Jersey title last year. The league is having plenty of financial trouble and at present it looks as though it wouldn’t be able to get underway this season. Of the six teams, two dropped out at the close of the 1933 campaign and only one other has joined. The officials feel that a five-club circuit would be highly impractical.During the winter season, no less than five men from this league were bought up by major league outfits, two of them going up from Mike’s own outfit. Dick Spalding, who was hitting the ball all over the lot and playing third on the local nine, is now assistant coach of the futile Phillies, while Whitey Fitton, a young pitcher who has a fine smoke ball, is also up with one of the Philadelphia teams. Charlie Berry of Freehold is now holding j down the second-string backstop position with the Athletics.One of the high^points of the league season last year was a successful night game which the local nine put on with the House of David. The contest took two days to play, starting at 9 Tuesday night and ending sometime around 12:30 Wed-' nesday morning.
