ssr The Los Angeles team is now almost
complete. Jack Roach has been Sc
cured as pitcher in the place OF
George Nicol. Roach is tiptop man
and Mr.. Vanderbeck had to give up big
money to secure this player. He is a
Western league man, pitching for Lin
coin and Kansas City last season. He
is south-paw. Only two men have
now to be signed. If Glenalvin can Sc
cure Mcmahon that player will do the
bulk of the catch, and in that event
Emmett Rogers will be put in the out
field and Newman will be played at the
initial bag. In that event only short
stop would be needed to complete the
team, and Holland is very likely to be
signed for that position. Should Glen
alvin be unsuccessful in his attempt tc
sign Mcmahon, then the chances are
that he will get McCauley for first, al
though there is some talk of Dooley fol
that position.
