"Kfd' Thompson. who is trying for
a place on the local slab, was out in
uniform yesterday afternoon for the
first time, and seemed to make a good
impression with the fans in the grand
stand who were out watching the prac-
tice. He dished up a few curves for
the local swatters to strike. They
struck at some of them, too, and made
some deep dents in the atmosphere.
Thompson has some pretty curves and
some steam, but he is not SO very much
different from all youngsters in that
he is a little wild and that his head has
not the same quality of gray matter
that comes from years of playing.
However he made a good impression
on Cooley and he will be given good
tryout.

The Oklahoma City team has a new
bunch of tryouts this spring. Some of
them are: Ralston, Partridge, Rill,
Lancaster, and Oldham. They are
pitchers, catchers, infielders and out

a paycheck will issue.
