SHAFFER TO HAVE
TEAM Of WINNIE rs
Captain Of Richmond Team Very
Confident of Worth OF Men
for New Season.
HINTON AND coWAN BACK
Seventeen or Eighteen Men Will
Be Given Try-Out for
Positions.
HINTON AND coWAN BACK

Captain Charlie Shaffer said last
night that Hinton and Cowan, catchers.
would be back this season. He spoke
very highly of the value of both es-
pecially of the improvement they made
toward the latter part of the season,
when their good work made them al
most invaluable to the team. From
the way the manager speaks. 1t seems
almost certain that these two are sure
for n Job and 1t will be UP to the new
man to show what stuff he is made OF
II he is to GUST either Cowan or Hinton.
The latter was the mainstay last sea-
son, and every one is confident that
he will be so again this spring and
summer behind the bat
Shaffer Confident.
Shaner speaks very confidently of the
Old men. all of whom have been re-
served. With most of them 1t was the
first year out and the timber was
rather green.
With the experience gained through the
season, however, Shaffer expects this TIM
Der to be well matured when the season
opens. and It Will be q hard matter for
him to make n choice as to who Is TO
stay.
There have been several predictions d.
TO the men who will have to go. Shaffer
has not yet made up his mind as to who
will go or stay. and will not make any
selection in the matter until he has had
the opportunity of seeing what the men
can really do on the diamond. Every
man will be given n fair, square try-out.
Each will do his best. and after the early
practice. when every one will have had
the opportunity TO make good, the best
men will win
Altogether 1T is expected that there
will be seventeen or eighteen who will try
for the team. Five will be pitchers, and
the team will carry two catchets. Shat
fer has picked all his new men with a
view 10 strengthening the weak points.
and he thinks he will have such an ag-
gregation as will be hard to equal by the
other managers.
Sebrie Coming Later.
Paul sebrie. the great outfielder and
batter. is attending college in Gettys-
burg. Pa. He will be rather late in
getting here, but he has written the
manager to say that he will arrive earlier
than at first ne expected. He will be
in good trim when he comes, as he will
play on his college team during the coll
lege season. AS to Doran. Shaffer Is not
sure whether he will come or not.
Captain shaffer spoke very highly of
the work of Happy" Eckstone, who, he
says, made a vast Improvement toward
the end OF the eocoon. In the earlier
games he lost out heavily: but later he
developed to a wonderful extent, and
was more often a winner than a loser.
Shaffer says he has nothing to do with
the umpires: that Is left with the owners.
Iaily will be back. but Hoffner and Black
have already been engaged by other
leagues. However, as the league is Offer
ing about s115 a month for umpires, no
difficulty Is expected in securing good
men.
