TERRE HAUTE, Ind. April Aust
to convince Manager Kelley that they
felt no bad effects as a result of yes
terday's game, a half dozen of the
Saints this afternoon finished the days
workout by taking a run from the ball
yards to the hotel, a distance of a mile
and half.
Some OF the boys were a trifle stiff
today. but felt all right after a good
warming up, which Kelley induced
them to take this forenoon. In the
afternoon they were all right, and put
up a fast practice game.
Kelley and O'Brien ran a race this
afternoon, and tonight the manager
purchased the new shortstop a new
bonnet of the latest approved block
Kelley finished a good second in the
race
Tomorrow two teams are TO be pick
ed from the nineteen men here, and
while one of the teams will remain at
Terre Haute for its daily workout with
the local Central leaguers, the other
is planning for short transforming
trip. The transformers will go over
into Illinois, where they have games
for Thursday and Friday with the
Three leaguerS at Decatur, and Sat
urday and Sunday they will attempt
to do things to the BIoomingtOnites.
Manager Kelley announces tonight to
Z h G o b correspondent that he
had received another letter from Bos-
ton regarding the return to the Saints
of Geier, the heavy hitting Outfielder,
who has thus far refused to sign
Boston contract. The Boston people
have made Kelley a proposition, which
he is considering, and it is more than
probable that Geier will be back in a
st. Paul uniform before the opening Of
the league season. Geier wants to
play with st. Paul, and if other mat
tiers can be arranged there will be no
trouble regarding the question of sal
airy. Kelley said tonight that Geier
would likely be with the team at the
opening series in Columbus.
Special Correspondence to The Globe
TERRE HAtTE, Ind. April 3.-St. Paul
has one OF the best young baseball men in
the business trying behind the bat He is
Roy Clark, the college boy from the East
and while, of course, there is no danger
of him doing better work than Sullivan
has done he Is surely a conner and will
have no trouble keeping in the best of
the big company. He made an enviable
record for himself with the Brown uni
YeTSlty team last year, and Manager KEEL
ley did wise thing in signing him. The
first days of outdoor practice he showed
up strong, and in Sundays game was
general favOrite. He was always on the
alert behind the bat. and when it came
his turn at the stick he had his eye on
the ball all the time He is of COM
paratively light build, very active and
quick on his feet, and shows that he
plays the game with his head as well as
his muscle
ST Paul should not regret getting
ShOrtstop Marcan back from Indianapo-
lis. Marcan has already become very
popular among the boys. His record in
the Sunday game was creditable In the
first inning he swatted the ball hard
through center field and made two bases
It was hot grOunder, too swift for the
second baseman or shOrtstOp
The next of the practice games between
Terre Haute and ST. Paul will be played
Saturday afternoon at Central League
park. The lineup of both teams will be
materially changed, and some new men
given chance to show what they can
do: Weather permitting a third game
will be played Sunday afternoon. Great
interest is being taken in the Saints
during their stay here, and while it was
very cold last Sunday over 700 men and
women were at the park.
