Three Exceptions.
FEW OLD NAMES INCLUDED
Pitching staff Will Be Particularly
Strong, Says Manager Daley, With
Four Artists-will Be Here
June 10.

The lntercity base bali team in the
Northern league is now nearly made
up. Manager Arthur Daley this morn
ing announced that six positions have
been filed, and that he has good men
in view for the other places. Within a
few days all the men viii have been
signed In the list will be found several
familiar names to Barre and Montpelier
base ball fans.
The pitching department viii be par
ticularly strong this year. At least,
it seems so now. There win be four
manipuIators Of the sphere, and OF these
Manager Daley announces only one,
Morey, Of the Beloit College team Of
Wisconsin. Morey is strong one. He
pitched one game for Rutland against
Plattsburg last year, shutting out the
New Workers by the score of III to
nothing and not allowing them a single
hit. Another pitcher from western
college has been signed, it IS said to
be another sheldon" but the manager
thinks best to keep. his name dark, as
well as two other slab artists he has
secured for the season. AS long as
the real and only Sheldon cannot be
here the enthusiasts are hoping that
the new find" will be worthy sue
cessor to the big fellow who Is now
pitching such fine ball for the Chicago
Nationals.
To do the backstopping for the bunch
no one has been signed yet. The man
agement Is after Hub" Hart. the crack
Georgetown University man who played
here last season under the name of
Nash and who was very popular with
crowd and players. Hart has good offers
to go with Detroit and the Chicago
Americans, and If he gets satisfactory
offer from either one OF them he viii
sign. Otherwise he will come to the
lntercity team. If he doesn't get Hart.
Manager Daley has another good man
on the string.
! The first sack will be held down by
Ashmore, the University of Illinois first
baseman, who is new IN these parts
but who is said to be d good one.
| Physical Director Huif OF the Illinois
gymnasium and who, as agent for the
Chicago Nationals, gobbled up sheldon
| Ruelbach for that team, says of ASH
more: He can play first, second or
| third base. He is good batter, and
! the best base runner | have ever seen.
| not barring Stahl of the Washingtons.
| He is Of the rising kind and will please
YOU If you can get him. Perhaps he'li
| do.
Johnny Dorman will be in his old
| position at short stop, and that's all
| that need be said about the security Of
that position His work there last year
for the lntercitys is remembered.
| Third base is in doubt If Jimmie
Morgan, last seasons captain and star
third baseman, plays ball at all he will
be with the Barre Montpelier crowd.
His father is in very precarious con-
dition, and Morgan does not feel that
he could stay the full season anyway.
He may come and start out with the
bunch at any rate, and If his fathers
health permits will finish the season.
| The management is still after a man
for second, although they have some
men in view.
Sammy Apperious, nick-named APP
/ polinaris, will cover his old position in
left field and swing the bat for some
more Of those long hits that the oppos-
ing fielders cannot get. Apperious Ii

falling down during the latter part Of
the last season. Next to him will be
Boots Mcmahon, the heavy hitting
outiielder who was with Rutland last
year and who played with st. Aibans
for two years prior TO that, being with
Daley when he managed that team. Me
Mahon is good fielder in addition to
his batting ability.
The remaining positions will be filled
by strong men, and the outfit will be
here June ~ to begin practice for the
| opening of the season ON the oath. Tt
is likely that exhibition games will be
arranged with independent teams in
Massachusetts, to get the boys into
shape for the opening
