 III lew days the baseball players will begin to report and Hampden park will be the scene of activity both morning and afternoon. Joe Connor who IS to do most of the backstop work for the local aggregation, is get ting into shape with the use of a rake. lie spent several hours yesterday af- ternoon raking the diamond and he says it is great exercise.
 Manager Roger Connor threatens to show what he can do with a rake and will begin practice today If he puts as much yigor into the use of this as he does in swinging the bat, then the diamond will fast assume a fine ap-s pearance. A picture of Roger with the rake will be well worth publishing. Hampden park presents a strange appearance this season, owing to the fact that the trees on the west side bordering the railroad tracks have been cut down. A new fence has been built on this side of the park and a new fence also incloses the base. ball field. The grand stand is fin ished. but considerable work remains to be done on the bleachers. The field needs rolling, but otherwise is in fine condition.
 Manager Connor is meeting with success ill disposing of the tickets and the outlook is bright for successful season. The tickets for the Burns benefit are also meeting with ready sale.-Springfield Union.
