THE PLAYERS REPORT.

Manager Smith and His Pawtucket Fani-
iy of Bali Players at Newark.
There is nothing very new in connection
with the baseball situation as far as the
local team Is concerned. Advices received
from Manager Smith dated Newark, re-
port that q number OF the members of the
team have already reported, and are now
stopping with him at the Park House.
Manager Smith Is much pleased with
says the team is stronger than ever. Hor-
ner, with the present weather and oppor-
tunities for outdoor practice, saw no
reason for going to Newark for the prac-
tice games, and the management agreed
with him. Whiting Is with the polo team
in Maine. and 1t was impossible for him
to reach the team today, ana so It was
decided that he need not report until the
team reach home. With these exceptions
Manager Smith expects all his players to
report before noon today.
The games played by the team at Lam
caster and Reading will be the opening
dates for those clubs this season. Mana
ger Smith expressed the wish that as many
Of the cranks as possible meet the team at
Hartford next Saturday, and witness the
opening game In that city. The date with
the Cuban Giants, who were to play In
this city on April 20, has been cancelled.
Two weeks from today the team will
make its first appearance at home, and will
entertain Providence. The boys are conf
dent that they can defeat the Grays, and a
rafting good game may be looked for.
Wednesday, the 21st, will be quite day in
Pawtucket, for on that date the Bostons
will play, and have promised to bring
Yeager along to stand behind the bat.
Last night President Moy had prelimi-
nary interview with Price of the Inter-
State road, and the latter gentleman ex-
pressed himself in favor of helping the
club, and the company will probably do
something for the team II the new grounds
on their line are taken.
