Sp0rihIj Editor. Intelligence.
S~rEUBESvILLE, Aprd In regard to
the situation in base ball and the quos.
tons noted, l will try and give it II, it
stands in this city. First, the prospects
arc excellent for 4 successful season in
this city. Within the past two weeks
more base ball talk has been going on
than there has for several years. and it
seems that the club wall make money
and go 70 the end. The new park ia not
vet completed, but will be bv the 10Th.
Il vii! be called "Huntsman's Park"
in honor OF tho well known news dealer
in this city. The grounds will DO about
$50 by $40 feet, with Il n,ne-foot fence,
and a grand stand holcsng 600 people.
The uniforms l have decided upon
are gray pants and shins, with the letter
.'S'' or tho pocket OF the shirt; blue
car, like tho ones Bouton and Pitts.
burgh wore last season; blue belt and
stockings. All my players arc now
signed and will report mex: Wednesday.
The PLAYERS signed are:
Peter Layelle. catcher, OF Pittsburgh,
last season with New Orleans, aud n
boy who will make them all play ball
TO beat
James Cooper, OF Canton. who caught
for the New Philadelphia team last sea-
son.. Cooper is 4 coming bail player, n
good batter and an excellent base run
ner, having sixey-two stolen bases in
forty-three games.
James Border, OF Pittsburgh. will
cover first. Last season Border played
around his home with semi.proiess:onal
teams; he is 4 heavy batter and n bril-
liant fielder.
Theodore Bullock, OF Massillon, will
be found covering second; last season
was his first year out, and he played
with the Twin Cities, OF U%hrichsvilIe
and Dennison. He is a player after the
style OF Blerbauer. OF the Pittsburgh
team, covering plenty OF ground and
goes Tor everything; he ia also a heavy
batter and 4 very fast man on tho bases.
Albert Wagner, OF Carnegie, Pa, will
be found on bag No. 3. Wagner is one
of the coming ball players OF the coun.
try ; while not a brilliant fielder, he is
very reliable, and many OF his errors
are made by taking great chances. Ills
great hold is base running and batting;
in tho latte- he is considered by many
m equal OF many n player in the big
league. Last season, while the Pitts.
burgh team was playing the Twin Cities,
Manager Mack made the remark thu.
Wagner would be found in tho big
league inside Of two years; this is quito
a compliment, as Mack knows q ball
player.
Claude Bullock. OF Emlonton, Pa, Is
going to show the abort stops how TO
play bali. Guy Hecker, OF tho OIL
Citys, says he is a coming Herman
Long, as lie is built like him and is lust
such n batter and fielder.
Wallie S. Carr, OF BarnesvilIc, will
cover left. This is Cars first season
out and great things are expected OF him
by his friends.
Tom Geary. Of this city, will be found
in middle. Geary is one OF tho most
brilliant Gelders over seen in n minor
league and Is n very fast man on the
bases. lie is also u very reliable batter.
lihII DtIIloss, VI LlkldUuISu,
will be in right. This player ia
a wonderful fielder and can throw like
Treadway, OF the Brooklyns. lie is also
o good batter and base unncr.
The pitching department looks worry
strong just a; present. but OF course no
one can tell what will happen in this
position, but the pitchers !! have signed,
Think, will be able to hold thcir end
up with the rest.
William Gray, OF Homestead. is con-
sidered by such an excellent judge ne
Manager BuckenDerger rs Il I'M and
the latter intended giving Gray 4 trial
with the Pittsburghs. Alcx McMullcu,
OF Derry Station. is an old timer in the
box, having played in the Southern
league for several Seasons and | expect
him to showup in good shape aud hold
his own in the box.
William Wagner, q brother OF my
third basGman. ia a young blood with
an arm on him like ono OF Rusie's and
speed as great. J expect him to make a
big success.
