THE SPRINGFIELD TEAM.
Manager Grown Has a First-Class Ag-

Manager Grown Has a First-Class Ag-
grega ion of stars Picked Out.
Springfield, April with the snow
inches deep on Hampden park and the
manager located in Washington, base
ball interest in Springfield is naturally
somewhat dormant and the outlook for
the team somewhat Indefinite. The
mlke-up and control Of the team have
been placed entirely in the hands Of
Manager Tom Brown by the local own
ers. and his reputation and experience
as a valued member Of the Boston,
Louisville and Washington clubs war
rant that confidence in his ability.
Manager Brown will make up his in
field with big Dan Brouthers the vet
eran terror to pitchers, on first base.
In order to make a place for him, the
club was obliged to dispose of a fast
man on that bag, Bill Massey, who was
traded to Buffalo in exchange for Frank
shannon. The latter made his reputs-
ton as a short-stOD in this city in the
seasons of '93. 'g4 and 50. after Tom
Burns took him from Holy Cross Col
lege ana developed him into player
just a little below National league
| speed. His experience in the big league
/ has increased his value, and his return
| here settles the short-stop question.
For second base Springfield has
Stuart and Gleason, the latter young
er brother of Kid Gleason Of New York.
| The youngster played well here last
| season and will probably hold his job.
jim DonnelIy. the veteran third base
man. will probably be secured to cover
| that position He played it here on the
champion team OF '95 which he cap
tanned. and is DESTROYS of returning
here. The financial troubles of the St
Louis Club by which Donnely was re-
served have DELAYED the deal which is
pra ctically a certainty.
In the outfield there will be Manager
Brown. Harry DOlan, the former Bos-
ton pitcher. and Tom Henson, all men
of speed. skill and experience.
For pitchers Springfield has Pappalau
and Memming from Last seasons statr,
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-04-03

who con be relied upon as winners. In
addition Manager Brown has a string
of young twirlers of good promise from
which he expects to develop a third
winner.
Behind the bat, Phelps of the Con-
necticut league is expected to do the
bulk of the work, with the assistance
Of youngster yet to be selected from
several candidates.
The team as outlined will be in the
game from the jump and will make the
rest hustle to keep in the van. That is
all Manager Brown claims-that he will
make the other teams play crackajack
base ball to win.
The manager will come here for the
season on April Z, and the players are
ordered to report for spring practice ON
April Is. The first exhibition game will
be played here April 10 with the New
ark club.

AT PROVIDENCE,

Baseball Outlook Is Considered to Be
Excellent for the Coming Year.
Providence, April While at pres
ent the Providence team is largely I'M
signed, there is little question as to
its makeup, outside of first base.
Manager Murray is now at Mount
Clemans, Mich, for a short vacation,
but is expected home by the middle of
next month, or before. Up to date, but
four players have signed-Lemar, Ev-
ans, Nyce and Walters, but the
others are all in line and will probably
drop into President Diapers office be-
fore long and affix their signatures, as
all are satisfied with the terms offered.
Manager Murray is never in a hurry to
sign his men, and rarely has them all
