The ball players are showing up well
in their daily practice, and they come
in for as much favorable comment from
the fans who go over to see them
practice, as does the park, which is the
very best ball grounds the city has ever
had. The skin diamond is in perfect
condition, but for few rough places,
which will be cut down. The club house
Is finished and equipped with shower
bath and lockers for the players.
The team is somewhat handicapped
In practice by vacancies at short and
third. which positions are filed TEN
porarily by Jack Donovan and Pitcher
Poole, respectively. President Howell
Is expecting hourly ruling from Nick
Young with reference to Woodlock and
Mozena In the very improbable event
that Syracuse is awarded these Two
players, Capt. Lytle has two higher
priced and better men for the positions,
whom he can land within twenty-four
hours.
Dummy" Kihm is showing up in
National League form on the initial
bag. Billy Niles takes everything that
GENES around third. and handles it
clean. Durett. Dobbs and Lytle make
q crack outfield Hunt and Latimer
are throwing we'll, and Lattimer is bat
ting like fiend. Cummins, the new
pitcher who stands over feet high,
and weighs more than 215 pounds, is
expected to-day from his home in
Fe is highly recommended
by Lattimer and others. Kane and
Early are also expected in to-day.
Pitcher Dolan wrote some time ago
for an advance, and President Howell
did not reply. Dolan got anxious and
W1ote U hAoW Al Tie IuduaSemeuI was
him. He will pitch for his
salary, or will not play ball
this season.
Sammy" Nichol has received notice
81 cut in salary, and has positively
refused to accept it. He prefers to re,
main Idle through the season. He will
start to practice with the boys. and
will try to keep in shape, but will not
play ball at the figures named by the /
indianapolis management.
