old men are yet to send in their signed
contracts and the fans believe that be-
fore the first week in April few
surprises will be given to the public. \
A lot of youngsters have been signed
by Manager Watkins, among whom are
q few that come high touted and the
veteran manager believes that he will
be able to pick one or two that will be
able to make good in the American
association company. All Of the play
ers will be ordered to report here the
last Of March and the recruits will
have plenty Of opportunity to show
their worth against such. clubs as the
New York Giants, Cleveland Americans
and others. II
It is very probable that the outfeld
will, be practically the same as last
season, with Thoney INLET, McCreery
in center and possibly Bruce or another
man in right Great changes will be
made in the infe1d and the pitching
departments. Mike Kehoe will be
called upon to do the bulk Of the
backstop work.
The men who have signed up to date
are: Pitchers j ohnny Fisher, Win
Kellum, Mattern, Ralph Grikmers,
Marshall Cominger, Tom Barry, O. e.
Summers, Raymond Friel and j. Martin.
| Catchers Kahoe, Dan Hawley.
Infelders Curtis, g. Redden, G. s
Young, Denny Q 'Brien, John Farrell,

Outfelders - George Murphy, H
Humphreys, Jack Thoney and Unrue
The old men still out Of the fold are

In his statement Britt says: 1T
fought Cans once because the public
demanded it and to show I was ibis
master. Had anyone else been my op-
ponent there would have been no talk
of dishonesty. I could not gain any
thing by losing to Cans, as the articles

cent for losing. The difference be-
tween the winners and losers end was
close to $4,000. AS did not bet a

what could gain by losing
While James Edward was writing
his statement, Cans was busy making
this proposition: ttI do not care
whether Britt fights me now or six
months from now, but all I want is the
assurance from him that he will fight
me again. In order to make the match
with me look more attractive to him.
