Players in Far Co ldition for
Opening.
DRUMM MUCH PLEASED
With the Showing Made by
Men in Practice.
Team Is a Well Balanced Aggrega-
ton ani will Jump Into the
Race with Much Vim.

Despite unfayorable weather con-
ditions the regulars of the local team
are getting into fair condition and
by the time for the opening game
will be in shape 10 start the season
with rush.
Over in Youngstown they are go
ing along pretty smooth and getting
plenty of practice. At New Castle
there Is plenty OF cnthusiasiam and
the team that will be sent against
Marion on the opening day will be q
hard one 10 beat At Akron they are
spending q heap Of money in building
up great team and the fans can
not see how the team can lose the
pennant The other fellows are all
busy and ready for the fray.
Taking a glance over the dope it
looks like a grand old race in the o..
u. ihis year with the honors falling
10 the deserving team. II will prob
bably be battle of determination the
survival Of the fittest. All of the
teams have been strengthened and be-
cause one team must occupy last
place 1t will not mean it is terribly
weak organization. The managers ex
pect 10 see race where the winning
or losing OF a game will mean a
shake-up of half of the team in the
race.
The local management is very we'll
pleased with .he aggregation select
ed by Manager Drumm and the team
will be fighting for the top position
all OF the time. The pitching staff
witt Wilhelm, Wilmot, Lewis, Lu-
cas- and either Burke or Pickett is a
great one. All of the twirlers are in
shape and should do some tall flinging
from the sound of the gong.
Behind the bat Lusky will do the
majority OF the work while Schaffer
will be kept ready for emergencies.
lMsky Is heady player who has a
reputition for helping the box artist
to get the best results OF his efforts.
AT the first corner Lindman will be

they throw EN- all bad he will handle
them somehow.

AT second none of the present can
didates are entirely satisfactory and
a new man will be here by the time OF
the opening. Mylett will be at short
and Flood, the captain, at third. This
infield Is as fast as could be desired
and should play good inside ball.
In the outer gardens there are
three star performers, Quinn, OF
last years team for center field,
Tate and Farrell for left and right
respectively. All Of the men are
great ground coyerers and deliver
the goods with the stick. 1t is pos
sible that n reserve outfielder will

AT least two practice games will be
INDUCED in before the opening OF
the season and everyone should go
out TO the grounds and get a line
on the players.

Work will be Completed by
May |.
PROGRESS WAS SLOW
Because of Rain Storms Dur
ing Past Week.
When Completed Webb Park Will
Compare Favorable with Other
Parks of the O.P League.

Working during rain and shine the
contractors in charge of the new ball
park are rapidly bringing 1t to com
pletlor and before the opening day
eserything will be in bang up shape.
The directors Of the local team have
decided 10 call the new grounds
Webb park and 1t will be christened
on May /. The president of the G. ID.
and NJ. will probably be present at
the opeEing game.
Engineer James Williams, of the
&c. ID. and NJ is in charge Of the
work OF getting the grounds in shape
for playing ball. He has accomplished
his task in spite of rain and snow
and within another day or two the
work will be completed. The fence
was commenced Thursday and but
little remains to finish thai portion
OF the job.
Under contractor John Baldauf the
grand stands and bleachers TO seat
over three thousand persons. have
gone up like magic. The stands are
roomy, with comfortable seats and
are built very substantially. In one
section of the grand stand there will
he number OF reserved seats for big
days at the park, the seats to be sold
both at the grounds and at some
place down town yet to be selected.
A small extra charge will be made for
reserved seats. The remainder of the
seats In the grand stand will be at the
disposition of those first arriving.
The fences will be covered with
signs OF various descriptions which
will improve rather than detract from
the appearance of the park. During
the simmer months the park will
be under the direction of manager
and one or two assistants who will
devote their time exclusively to keep
ing the playirs field in condition and
keeping the stands free from dirt.
The newspaper men will have box
built especially for them under the

Sale Of Coal nnd Timhcr Lnnds.

There was quite a nice little coal
deal carried through out on the
East Side last week. About GOO
acres Of coal land was bought by
Howard Caldwell, Of Columbia,
S. c., who paid S2s per acre tor
the two veins, the Upper Freeport
and Lower Freeport or Kittanning.
The farmers who received this price
were Felix letters, Nathan Wilson
and his two sons, J. Il. and 1. S.
Wilson.
Nearly all the other coal was sold
in that section about three years
ago for $40 per acre and these men
have done well by holding on to
their coal a little longer.
Felix letters above named also
sold about SO acres Of timber land
to John c. Mayer, Of Terra Alta,
for &35 per acre. This with the S25
for the coal makes 500 per acre he
gets and has his land left, some of
which he purchased not long since
for less than SGo per acre for coal,
