MUSCLE AND SKILL.
A List Of the Artists who Will Figure
i'm the Northwestern League
this Summer.

AS warm weather approaches the inter |
est in base ball matters increases. Every
thing points to glorious season of sport.
All the clubs are now in active training,
and are showing some good woork. Our
own nine is practicing daily in the gym
naslum. and as soon as the ground win
permit will get TO practicing on the field.
The first game here will be played on the
18th of next month, when the FIT. Wayne
boys will cross bats with our nine The
next game to follow is the Milwaukee
club the 1st. I'd, and Sd of May. Captain
Hagan of our club, arrived in the city
Wednesday from Chicago, and was inter
viewed for few moments at the Com
mercial hotel this morning by the ARGUS
scribe. The captain is slender in build,
but not too slender, but just slender
enough to skim over the ground after
hot ball in lively manner. He says that
he sees no reason why our club
will not be as good as any of
the clubs in the league. The
most of our club is composed of profes-
sional players, and in the past have made
good records. As for himself, the cap
tain was too modest to venture an opin-
ion, but we are not one bit afraid 10 say
that the captain will not be found want
ing, nor bit backward when on the
tield. He is an old base ballis:, has
rafting good record, and if he and his
club don't astonish some of the league
clubs by their good playing this year we
miss our guess. For the benefit of many
We give below list and the names of the
players in the Northwestern league.
