and sleepy from an almost all night

nine of his athletes dropped into the
city this morning at 3 o'clock. BY

This afternoon Belden Hills Cedar
Rapids team of the Three-I League
will furnish practice for the Grays.
Quite an aggregation of Grays were
already on hand when Warner and his
contingent reached here, and Sunday

the Finkle Park diamond before a del

Pitchers-Johnson, Greene, Spoerl,
Rife, Petty, Speiser and Pomeroy.
Infielders Warner, Alberts, Will

as is known locally, yet to be learned.
With the weather still savoring more
of winter than of summer, little can
be expected of the practice until the
temperature rises.
Sioux City Won to I.
Sioux City's club of the Western
League beat out Warner and his play
ers Sunday by the score of to l, but
the result was expected, the only
question being the score. The cold
weather prevented anything like fast
practice, and the game lacked snap
and vim, for the players could not
warm up. Warner put in Petty, one
of the new pitchers, and he held the
Sioux City team to ten hits and gave
two bases on balls. Kostal pitched for
Sioux City and held Warmers men to
four hits. The errors stood three to
one, with the visitors making the one.
Petty Fooled EN-.
The Sioux City Journal Of this morn
ing in speaking Of the game, says:
petty, who held down the slab for
Marshalltown, had slow out which
came near to dislocating several Pack
ers' backs. They reached for it and
bit like bass in May and he got five
local scalps. Bobby Warner was a
very busy man at second, handling
seven chances in fine shape. Williams
at third made three hard assists and
displayed evidence of being all sorts
of conner. In one case he recovered
himself quickly after difficult stop
and by lightning throw got his man
at first. Alberts made q hair raising
stop at short and by a fast throw nall
ed his man.
"The frigidity Of the atmosphere got
into the systems Of the Packers and
there were number of boobies made.
in their play. Danny Sheehan was a
little over anxious on one chance and
the error was saffron hued. Newton
missed an easy throw on the second
sack and Baerwald bumped into Bills
on punk fly that either might have
handled. And here it was that Car
ney's guiding hand was missed. Had
he been in the game there would have
been no possibility of the error. New
toms misplay gave Marshalltown its
only score, for Frank Bruggemann fol-
lowed the bobble with a drive over the
left field fence for two bags.
