day they would play both games in the
Bayou city, and the Colts Of both teams
would have their battle here on the same
date. This is a sensible move from q
financial standpoint by Joe, as Houston is
a larger and better base ball city than
Galveston, and the games between the
regulars there will draw like a brand-neW
mustard plaster. McCloskey is billing
kafger for the Sunday game. and the
railroads are booming excursions into
Houston for the occasion. Patton, Hughes
and Burns are figured on as the pitching
talent for the regulars at Houston, while
Mike Kahoe will handle the Colts at this

Immediately with his kindergarten.
A new scheme has been evolved by
Cantillon for the homeward-bound trip
which ought to work well in every way.
He is to make up team of colts with
old pitchers as the mainstay to start
northward March H.. playing Wichita
games apiece-maybe three in the latter
city-and then they will halt at Spring
field, ILL.,. for the regulars to meet them.
Though the roster has not been definitely
settled. it Is believed Hughes. Smith,

in right field. Kahoe will be field cap

after the finances. Joe argues that, with

he win have to keep half Of them on
the bench all the time, as he desires to
play games every day with the two other
teams, SO as to give his new pitchers
practice and allow the regulars in other
positions getting their batting lamps
properly polished. 1t will help more to-
ward meeting the heavy expenses of the
trip. When the regulars leave Houston
at midnight on the 18th they go to Waco.

and then rejoin the colts at Springfield.
From there Meinke and Keely will re-
turn to Chicago, while two or three of
the colts pitchers will go back to the
minors. Cantillon will have about twenty
men In uniform when the gong rings at
Boston April 10.
