Who the Players Are.
Every fan" in the city and all In
in the success of the team have
been waiting flnpatlent1y TO learn who
and what the players We're that Warner
would select. Joseph Shook, who has
been slated for behind the bat. is a
Cedar Rapids. player, and is conceded
to be fast. He signed with this city
while both OtNunwa and TT Dodge
were after him,
Frank Brrggeman, the other catcher,

OF the pitchers '.Teddie'' Green, OF
Webster City, is known here. by his
short experience with the maroons last
season Before coming here he played
with Webster City until that team dis
banded. 1t is believed he will make
good.
Treadway is another Sioux City man.
md If he sustains the reputation he has
made In seasons past, he will probably

city, having formerly played with the
Sioux City team of the South Dakota
Iowa League.
Robert C. Warner, the playing man
