Newark o., March 29.-Manager
Bob Berryhill of Lebanon, Ind. 1, ar
rived in the city today to take charge
of the Molders for the season. After
the officials, he made a bee
line for Wehrle park just to see what
Is being done in the way of improve
ments. He was perfectly satisfied
with everything and complimented
the groundkeeper who has been busy
with a force of men for the past two
weeks.
When the boys report next week
they will find 1t in the finest kind OF
shape. Today the ground was rolled
and the advance guard got a good
Manager Berryhill says he has
fine bunch and If the pennant isn't
flying over Wehrle park next season
1t will be no fault of his. He has
eight twirlers ready to don the ban
giles and expects to secure one of the
best pitching stats in the Ohio State.
Only one ''yet" will be made on this
staff-Joe Locke. There will be a
new face at short and one in the CEN
ter garden. Two new catchers will
also be chosen.
Frye Wratten, one of the fastest
third basemen in the business, came
in from Cincinnati yesterday. He is
in the pink of condition and says
that he will better his work OF last

are indeed bright for very sue
cessful season, and the town is wild
for the first game, which will occur
between the Vets and the Colts week
from today. 1t is thought that the
attendance will be up to that of last
season and that the recent financial
furry will have no effect on djmin-

Berryhiil thinks that the -four old
clubs will have strong combination

Eddie Ransick and Roaring Bill

men OF long experiences and know
more about Inside baseball than many
men higher {,up in the managerial
