Jfeeeption at Peoria Today
O'Day for second Base.

Inh 10 the opening Gay OF the lills
s-Indians league season. and the race
for the pennant has been begun-to end
no ONE knows how. Each club in the
league has good eye on the head of the
list, and will strive to place itself among
the lea lers. but some one must bring up
the rear end Of the procession and of
course no one cares for that distinction.
The home management does not claim to
have al all star combination, IS such are
not always the pennant takers. They all
have had fair averages in past years. are
all you ag, ambitious players anxious to
make q reputation, and have been picked
with siew of doing good team work.
The club starts out under some disadvsn-
tages on sccount of rot having had the
necessary prsctice which was prevented
by the weather. and too much should
not be expected of them in
the beginning. The crosker will, of
course, be on hand with his customary

The following is the batting order
which had been previously sent by Man
sger Sage to Peoria: Dale CT, MsckeY II.
Bailey ID, Housman 50. Lynch SIS, Sage
IF, Wynn %, Zeis C, Browner D; but as
Wynn, of Moline, who has been signed
by the local nine, did not show up at the
depot to 90 with the team, Lem Stock
well cor sented to 60 along and play,
while Martin. who was with the Omahas
in go. and who was signed last night. went
along to keep the bench warm with Bax-
endsle.
GRANDsTAND GOSSIP.
Things are harmonious all around and
the boys will no doubt do themselves
proud on their visiting tour.
The boys of the home team all seem TO
like the town and people, and the latter
are apparently satisfied with the players.
The Quincys will stick to their old love
and appear this year as usual in jet black
uniforms. They are always neat and
pretty.
Evansville has signed Jack" Wentz,
Of L 1uisvlle. for second and Flanagan,
formerly with Des Moines and Omaha,
for first.
The uniform CT the Joliets is black
pants. stockings, belt aud cap, with a
white shirt and the name Joliet" in
black letters across the bosom
Manager Sage is in correspondence with
Ed eastman, who pitched fer Des
Moines in 1888. and he will probably be
secured for the home team. Cushnan
would add considerable strength to the
club.
Mohler, Of last years Davenports, who
is signed with the Jacksonville aggrega-
ton, has been getting some rough hand
ling from the press on account of ques-
tionable conduct.
Harry o Day, Of last years San Fran
ciscos. was signed by the local manage
ment this morning for second base. He
will come on at once and join the club
while en- route.
Barney Mclaughlin, of Holyoke, Mass
who was signed for second base, and to
whom $50 advance money was sent near
ly two weeks ago. has not yet put in an
appearance nor has anything been heard
from him. Barney probably doesn't want
to play ball this summer.
Louis Glockhoff. of the Arcade cigar
store, has arranged to have the score of
all the games Of the l. league this eve
