TO GET ON
THE FIELD TODAY
Salzers First on the "Grass
Gossip of the Amateur
Teams.

The Salzers will be on the field this after
noon at Twenty-first avenue and Fourth street
to timber up a little bit If the weather will
permit, says Manager Lissak. The players. he
says, are all in frst-cass condition and doubt
will make great impression upon the baseball
fans this afternoon.
Thomas Conlow, the second station,
out last Sunday and doing some Of his old-time
stunts when he was playing with the old cham
pion Comet team years ago. He says he is
feeling like schoolboy at the present time
| and cannot wait for the balmy days to come
around. In Smith, the left fielder, Lissak has
one of the fastest sprinters In the twin cities,
as he can make 100 yards in ten seconds fat,
and also being good stieker and thrower.
"smiles'' Hokanson, the center garden man,
| Is losing sleep accountaof having to wait
long before he can make his debut with the
| fair of baseball rooters. With such a bunch
of athletes the salzers will certainly be in the
| limelight this summer. as no expense will be
spared to make it great team.
The Fisher team plans to have on the diamond
| this year of the fastest amateur outfits
| in the twin cities. Walter Gilbert will be
ager, while Matt Turnban of last years Salzers
, will be captain. Turnban is well known in
local baseball circles, having pitched for
majority Of the crack local teams. He pitched
| for the Salzers last year and lost only one
game. Turnball knows all the points of the
/ game and in the hands of such able coach
the team expects to be successful Suits will
be made of gray and the travelling coats will be
gray with green trimmings. The team will also
play out OF town. Names of players will be
announced later. Games can be booked by adj
dressing Walter Gilbert, care Of Fisher Paper
Box company, 221 First street N.
]. E. Rogers, better known as ''Tooze." will
be represented in the amateur ranks by base
ball team which promises to equal the best
nine Mr.. Rogers has ever put before the base
ball public. I. J. Hentschen. who for years
has been interested in the amateur baseball
ranks succeeded In closing a deal with Nj.
Rogers last week.
Mr.. Hentschell last managed the For
ester team He has retained his best players
of last year, and to these he will add Of
the best local amateur players, and no efforts
will be saved in making the Toozes one of the
best mines in the northwest. Altho the lineup
may be changed several times before the OPEN
ing of the season. the management feels quite
safe in giving out the names of the following
players at this early date:
William Pehle, clever little catcher has
been signed to perform the backstop work.
Pehle is well-known local player who has
very few equals In his chosen position. The
pitching staH will be in the hands of Christie
Mills, Leonard Schroeder and Henry Cloutier.
The latter will also cover the second sack.
Manager Hentscheu feels fortunate in having
retained Mills. His abilities a twtrler are
: well known. The Toozes inield will be taken
, care of by George Teusegnant, Nick Mauren,
Frank Wagner and Henry Cloutier, four relia-
, Bile, fast players. who for years have trained
! themselves to their respective positions. In
: the outield will be found Frank Wines, Naugh-
ton McNaughton and Henry Anger. Wines was
, the star outfelder of the Foresters. His bat.
ting last season was above the 300 mark. a
} record to which very few players can look
back. "Knotty" McNaughton is another good
player, as his fielding is exceptionally fast and
his batting timely. Henry Anger, altho an
e inhelder, will without doubt make good in the
| outfeld. Last season he played on the Hoover
team.
> Mr.. Rogers will save no expense in fitting out
: his Tooze aggregation with the best equipment.
t money can buy. The uniforms will be ordered
during the week. and will resemble the togz
:. worn by the Minneapolis team at tn-ir home
), games. The management is now at work ar.
9 ranging the schedule for the season, and would
be glad to hear from fast out-of-town teams
Clubs wishing to arrange games should COM
munieate with T. J. Hentsehell, care Of the
Tribune.
