younger days Red worked on a farm
near Osawatomte where he acquired
strong constitution. In those days he
was the strongest man in Miami coun-
ty and his equal would be hard to find
even at the present time. Red has
played professional ball for five years
and each year he has shown a big inn
provement. Last season a bad ankle
interfered with his playing but this
season he will show the fans some
great stunts not only in the right tur-
nip patch but on bases and with the
willow as we'll.
Jack Haskell the veteran umpire,

everything O'Neill does is as popular
as his selection of Haskell, he is one of
the best presidents of minor leagues in
the country.
1t is not unlikely that the seats at
the local park will be equipped with
backs this season. An eastern firm is
management for the installing of some
portable backs on the seats of the

will be a very popular move on the
part of the management.
