ous to strengthen the team before the
season opens, and as the time is short
he is exerting every effort to DO So.
Whether or not he will be successful

cannot at this time be foretold. Ken

one or two outfielders, and pitcher
or two. He has negotiations under
way with a catcher and first basepan
from the "Three T. league, who, II
signed, would materially strengthen

signing these men If possible that Ken
nedy spent Friday in Cedar Rapids.
There is prospect that Kennedy
may sign either Willis Wilson, Of Des
Moines, or Charles F'risbee, for the out
field. He may close contracts with
both of them. Wilson played with
Warner here during the first season,
and was quite popular. Frisbee played
with both Waterloo and Burlington
