have an opportunity of seeing about
every player in action.
Yesterday afternoon the practice
was a strenuous one and as a re-
suit there is some stiffness and
soreness I'm muscles of the athletes
All of the men are determined
workers and 1t will not be LONG be-
fcre they are hardened for the
coming battles. The Regulars and
the Yanigans played three innings
yesterday afternoon ending with
the score 3 and S.
Lotshaw, GDay, Wilson and Gil
lis. Burk and Lucas did some pret-
ty stick work much to the delight
OF the couple OF hundred bugs who
|strolled out to see the squad in
action.
The Others hit the ball we'll too
and some pretty fielding stunts
were pulled of despite the fact
that the ground is not i'm the best
of condition. There will be a
pretty race between Lotshaw and
donaldson for the first base Job.
The former fields well, has pepper
ITO him and stings the ball. Dom
aldson is a great Fielding frs.
baseman and has a good arm. He
stands well at the plate and may
be able 10 do some batting.
Wolf, the Columbus lad, is moth
Ing less than n fielding marvel
around the short stop position. He
pulled OF number of prstty
plays yesterday that elected sew
eral rounds of applause from the
spectators. II will take some hust-
ling TO keep him from being 4
permanent fixture there.
The manager drew generous
hand when he pulled down one
back OF second that was booked for
a safety and threw the runner out
at first, O'Day fields his position
well and there will be few who
have anything on him as a batter.
Hughey Tate did some slulgging
yesterday. but he will have his
eye in a few days and then there
will be some doings. The only go I'd
smash that Tate got at the ball
was duning batting practice. He
had swung on one and missed 1t
when Windy" hollered from first
base. 81 thought you could bat.
Try hitting the ball once in q
while.' The next one sailed up
Tate met fairly ON the nose and
bounced the bulb against the GEN.

the candidate for first base

Lancaster, O., April s. Walter
Justus and cred" White, star
pitchers on last years team, arriv-
ed I'm the city Tuesday evening
and are in excellent condition.
These two players are expected to
do the brnnt OF the work, and
much hope is placed upon their
ability TO land the rag for the To-
Gals.
Manager Fox had the squad
which numbers 25, and by the way
Is the largest number of players
that ever wore the Iank uniforms
at once, out at the fair grounds
for stiff practice, both in the
morning and afternoon.
In the afternoon Fox had the
players jog around the hair mile
track couple OF times, and II
was tired bunch that reported
at The hotel in the evening. The
players had been given word to
be Inc good condition for hard
work when they reported so no
very sore muscles are anticipated.
