The catchers for Lincoln signed to date
are zinran. St Josephs steadiest back
stopper; Rogers OF the Northern league
last season, and Moore, who comes from
the Wichita team IN the Kansas league.
Holmes bought starnagle, crack Sioux
City catcher, few weeks ago, but Star
nagie Is sull1hg at his home in Beileville,
H., and has not yet signed. The addition
Of Rogers, who comes highly recommended,
places Holmes where he need have no
anxiety as to his catchers, and he viii now

infeld is complete and in this department
Holmes is confident that he has a quartet
that will measure up to the best in the cir

for the first sack; Shugart, who comes
from Des Moines, Is to be stationed at Sec
end Lee Quillin, for whom nearly dozen
managers have been angling all winter, the
ST. Louis Nationals included, Is 10 handle

Of the smoothest inhelders in any Of the

Holmes has been after Tiilman all winter
and considers himself mighty fortunate to
land the man he wanted. Manager Holmes
Is to go into his old position in the left
garden. Ketchum. a Western league vet
eran, Is billed for center, while the right
field position is still in doubt. Ketchum,
who is wintering in New York state, has
expressed his desire to play ball in the
Southern league next season and Holmes
is now considering two or three deals to in
clude him In trade.

The lack of Sunday ball is not expected
to be permanent bar to finapcial success.
Lincoln cleaned up q good bunch Of money
in 1894 In the Western league without Sun
day ball and the Nebraska capital has ex-
banded so much In population and wealth
since that period that Holmes is not worry
ing any as to the gate receipts. Meanwhile
Lincolns quota Of Sunday games are to
be booked In the five other cities in the
league. the arrangement being that on
these transferred games Holmes is to re-
ceive his full share OF the gate and grand
stand money. Eventually, however, Holmes
may book Sunday games at a pleasure re-
sort just beyond the city limits. The Lam
coin public Is gradually becoming more lib
erai on the score of Sunday recreation; the
mayor and city authorities are favorable to
the idea, and Sunday ball seems not far
distant.
