I expect Fricken, Glenalvin and Geiec to-
day, and Chauncey Fisher and Willie Nc
Gill. who make up my corps Of pitchers,
will be here before the end of the week.
4 have gotten the ice cleaned off of
the grounds and they are in excellent
shape. We shall start practicing inside
the enclosure tomorrow. On Saturday
afternoon we will play Hamline uni-
versity, and on Sunday the team from
the St. Paul Athletic club.
The men are putting in hard work at
Kttsondale, getting in shape for the
season and are taking ten-mile walks
every day for digestion. L consider the
team stronger in many respects than last
year. Then our principal weakness was
at first, and this year L have Isbel, whom
1 consider one of the best men in the
business. He is strong on batting ana
fielding and / consider him far better
than Glasscock Geer on third will
strengthen the batting and he is surer oii
foul flies than any man in the league, He
will help out the sinfleld wonderfully in
fielding and stick work. .. ~

with the men in the outfield. Lally has
lead the Nestern league two or three
seasons in batting and fielding.

be one of the best men in the business.

watching him yesterday and his throw

work than the old men who are saving
themselves at the practice. Ritter also, is

good knowledge of defensive work and
scored heavily, while the Minneapolis

skill, ingenuity and scientific knowl-
edge, with which the modern war yes
sci has thoroughly kept pace A me-
ment's reflection would, of course, make
it very clear to us that it would be inn
possible to build war vessels such as
we now possess unless there had been
a corresponding development In every
other manufacturing industry. Gov
ernor Roosevelt, when Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy, touched upon a
very important matter connected with
this subject in discussing what was
known as the personnel bill. In COM
pairing the development of naval sci
ence to the point where it became nee
essary for every officer in the navy to
be an engineer so that it is necessary
for the modern Admiral to know many
things of which our great Farragut, for
example, was ignorant, he said that 1t
would, of course, require vastly greater
skill to handle the complicated mechan-
ism which the modern war vessel is
than one of the old ones, but that, just
as we had always been able to produce
competent men to handle the less COM
plicated vessels of former times, so
without doubt we would get competent
men to handle those of to-day. He had
learned the fact that the modern war
ship is q vast engine, and to be prop
erly controlled must be handled by en-
gineers. Congress has in the person
mel bill privided and directed that as
soon as we can make the necessary
arrangements every officer in the navy
charged with handling a vessel shall
be a trained engineer. - New York
