Businessman Elsey on Deck.

Charley Elsey, San Antonio's
big Businessman, arrived in town
this morning, accompanied by his
brother, Adam, who will also re-
main here during the summer.
Elsey looks to be in splendid
shape, and from his excellent ply
steal condition, he has evidently
been taking care of himself all
winter. 81 didn't hesitate long
about signing with Brophey after

said Elsey to a LIGHT reporter. at
looks as if we have sure enough
winners, and unless 1 am mis-
taken, we will be among the first
three from the start. Crotty is a
fine field captain, and with the
material he has to work on, he
will satisfy everybody. Nevip,
the big left hand pitcher who is to
replace Caullifiower, is a fine
pitcher and terrific hitter. l know
him personally and think there
isn't a better man in the business.
With he and big Parvin, we won't
have to worry any about the pitch
ing department. 1 haven't seen
the new park yet, but from what l
am told, it will be just to my
liking. A big field gives a chance
for pretty work and makes batters
earn their long drives" Elsey will
get out tomorrow and commence
to timber up. Charley's brother is
second edition of himself, and a
bit heavier, too.
