The Cup is given to the best general player and the best general player, and the Bat to the best offensive player...
...with the new plan of inviting former stars, which is expected to add greatly to the spirit and enthusiasm of the initial meeting, the added innovations of slow motion pictures of baseball action, which will be presented by Leslie Mann, National League star, and the awarding of the Wendell Bat and the Win-gate Cup will make the annual event of unusual interest this year.
