pions, but four appear on Mullane's

Winnipeg Lineup.
Winnipeg, Man.. April 9.-Two
catchers, six pitchers, nine infielders
and five outfielders have been signed
by Eddie Herr, the new manager OF
the Winnipeg team of the Northern
Copper Country league. That is not
all, for contracts are being sent in
every day and when the candidates
gather in Minneapolis on April %,
there will probably be sufficient
number of players to form three
teams. A series of ante-season games,
extending from April "a to the open
ing of the league season, May 16, has
been arranged. during which the
wedding out process will be carried
on. The teams must get down to
twelve players by the opening of the
season, so there are a number of pros
pective Maroons who are doomed to
disappointment.
The complete list of players. whose
contracts Herr holds. follows:
Ho%ohorc Warmer
Pitchers-Herr, Terry, Bushelman,
Dunn, Mcknight and Sawyer.
Observation-Disclosures, O'Neill. Dough-
ertx. Sasenback, Dales, dMcEvoy. King,
Wallace and Zeider.
Outfielders-Piper. Cox, TRACER,
Henderson and Reynolds.
With such an outfit to select from,
Herr is figuring on gathering twelve
players together, who will be able to
drag the flag across the border If
he cannot do it with the men he now
has, he will try others. for the Maroon
hackers will spare no money in get
ting a team together. although they
will be compelled to keep within the
limit in actual salaries paid. Winni-
peg spent money last year in getting
a team, which landed in third place,
but the failure to land the pennant
has only aroused new hopes and the
owners are on hand again with a
bountiful supply CT the coin of King
Edwards domain.
The lengthy schedule of games on
the training trip should enable Herr
to select his team and at the same
time put the men in good shape for
the league season. The men will re-
port in Minneapolis on April % and
will go into training Immediately.
The first game will be played with
the university of Minnesota at Min
neapclis on April "a. and after work
ing out in southern Minnesota for
couple of weeks with the independ-
ent teams in that section. will cross
the border. arriving in Winnipeg May

played with the Calgary team of the
