year watching the games from the
bench for the most part, should un-
cover a few live wires among his
young players. 1t will be noticed
that MCGUIRE is not mentioned among
the Lanks. No use, Marion is sure to
secure him.
Now that the Newark bunch real
ly looks stronger than Lancaster, al
though 1t is hard to dope out Just
where Newark can claim anything
like a pennant. Lett from last year
there are Winters, Pinkney, McClin-
toct, Wratten, Smith, Snyder, Alb
bott. Kaler, +. Locke. Perhaps
big Ed Moore will be sent back
but Lefty Webb, the best winner
Newark had last year, is gone for
good. Homer Davidson, manager,
win help out a lot behind the bat,
or in the event that he decides to use
Scotty Winters regularly, Davidson Is
likely to fill the hole in the outfeld
between Abbott and Snyder. Then
there is 10 be secured a first sacker
to succeed the polished but some
what unruly Gygli. That will be
hard place for the boy manager to

will be a real help. A pair Of good
singers in addition TO these two will
give Newark a very we'll balanced
club and one seemingly stronger than
Lancaster.
The Lime outlook, seemingly clear
enough q few weeks ago, is rather
vague, and fans there are guessing
not q little Bit. Last fall Parsons and
daddy" Linke were drafted by CO.
lumbus. Now Columbus is not likely
to use either Of them, and wants to
send them back to Lima, but the
has hunch that other
association clubs will not waive on
them, and consequently Lima Is not
likely to get her two stars. The
same is true in the case OF Alex
Reilley. midget outfelder and the
Lima management is worrying not a
little. Lee Fohl has signed a num-
Der OF recruits for Lima. It Is ike
ly that of the old men Foutz, Sykes,
Finke, Newman, Lindsay, Nefeau,

Pickett and Gawey, will be back in
harness again. with those men as a
starter, Lima is certain to have a
strong cam, but unless they get the
other three back the Stogies win
have no walk-a+way for the pen
nant,. With Linke, Parsons and A..
Reilley aso in the ine-up will have
n team that coud hardly be headed
off for the pennant with a fair share
OF the baseball luck.
Mansfelders are very reticent about
ni1eir team and its prospects. Tim
Flood is hard to gain information
from as our former vice president
But Sturgess is authority for the
statement that Mansfield will be In
the race with a strong team. Per-
haps Channell win be back, they say,
and then the scorers there will have
an opportunity to give him another
average. Too bad their efforts last
year did not result in selling the
player for a fancy price. Breymaier
will not stay long with Columbus
and will probably do the catching
for the Tigers. Biery, Kettler, and
Flood will be back at their old sta.
tions but Benny Jewell, who was
only loaned to Mansfield, will go with
Wheeling, 1t is said. In the out
field, Flood will have Meeham and
Mathay. If with Bucholz, Bailey,
Phelan and Lloyd, Mansfield gets
back Channel, the old Tiger team
Will be practically complete for 1909.
Give Tim Flood fair amount of luck
and he will bring Mansfield home
well up in the race.
Now it's up TO Portsmouth 10 do
something and Billy Doyle says the
Might Riders will. He has not only
weeded out most of the old joy-club
bunch but has purchased several
players OF ability. With the talent
he had last year and the additions
Doyle is going 10 be hard proposi
ton. But Marion need worry but
little about Portsmouths strength.
10 IS hardly hkely that the Dlggers

down staters than they did last year
for although a 'ail-end club. Ports
mouth beat Marion more times than
1t did any other club in the league.

the pitchers and possibly a third base

George Welkert of Round Top, near

ence with snake Sunday evening.
Mr.. Weikert had gone into the hay
NOW at the barn to throw down hay
for the horse when he was suddenly
confronted by IA large reptile ready
to strike. 81.
Mr.. Weikert dropped the fork and
got down to the ground as quickly as
possible. He says that the snake was
fully five or six feet in length and
that II has probably been in the barn
since harvest last summer, as the field
from which the hay was taken has
long been a fayorite haunt for snakes.

off.

AS the time draws nearer Fans Of
the Ohio Stale league are studying
the dope a little more closely and
trying to get a line on the local
as well as the other clubs of the
Ohio State league. In the major
leagues there are few changes
from year to year but in the minors
especially leagues of this class, the
changes are so many that a PEN
nant winner of this year may cas-
lily be tailender OF next. But
that Is what makes the game good
here where but for this renewal OF
Interest each year fans might not
be able to support baseball
To say that the interest in the
new club which will represent Mar
ion Is strong is but expressing it
mildly. Fan bugs about this town
are delving into the records and
absorbing all of the dope that comes
within the.r reach This interest,
so early in the year, is pleasing to
the men who make baseball possi-
BILE and they predict most sue
cessful season.
Like other places Marion has
plenty of pennant Chalmers. Why
not? Every city in the league may
claim pennant for 1909 at this
time while only one will be permit
ted to do so on next Labor Day.
It's privilege Of the sport. But
like other cities, Marion has it's
pesSimists. They hate to think OF
anyone claiming a pennant, in fact
they hate TO have anyone advancing
any ideas on baseball. Sort o. sup
rene authorities, as II were, chappy.
But at this time of the year it s
wei THAT the fans should be optim-
istic, The optimism at the opening
of last season was rewarded by n
team that showed its heels to the
rest of the flock for many long
weeks and then at the close finish

that was followed last year---too
strenuous in fact, for most OF the
athletes, This year the league has
made wise move In cutting the
schedule down to 100 games and al
lowing four off days during the sea-
son. The player who Is on the Job
every day and has 10 keep in con-
dition, with the severe railroad
jumps and sometimes without the
best of food, is in pretty poor
condition, generally at the close of

OFFICIAL SCHEDULE OUT
Mirror Today Contains Engage
ments of Staters for Summer Days

In this issue OF the Mirror there
appears the official schedule Of the
OA.o State league for 1909. The
playing season commences April 2S,
Marion opening here with Mansfield
Newark at Portsmouth and Lima at
Lancaster. The schedule contains
1870 games, concluding on Labor Day,
September 6. This year both Mem
orial and Independence days come on
Sunday. On these dates the Statel-s
will play but one game, while dou-
bleheaders are scheduled for the fol-
lowing day in each case. Marion
has the morning game here with
Mansfield and plays at Mansfield in
the afternoon. On July fifth, Ma
rion plays at Mansfield in the morn
ing and at the local park in the af-
ternoon. There are four off days
during the season. The Dlggers will
play ten Sunday games at home.
The schedule is worth having. You

Lets take a little journey around

material for the 1909 S,aters. To get
a line on those OF the youngsters
under contract with the various
rl,lbs, the fans must wait until the
season opens. but the old heads who
form the nucleus for the various
tliajs and those experienced players
signed will give fair idea of the
relative strength Of each.
IA writer, after irHpresslng his
readers with the intelligence that no
one else around here knows any
thing of what is to come of in the
Ohio State league this year, tells us
that Lancaster Is the real Shifty
Sadie and is going to make a lot or
noise. The Lanks, for instance,
have but Old Joe Locke and HON.

0f course, George Fox has some
youngsters signed, but will they be

will even Humphreys, Carter and

players. Piper is probably the best
OF the lot, but there is nothing SEN
