Ben Ragsdale, a giant catcher,

The New York Colt team will be

Mansfield, o.. March 29.-The
formal transfer Of the Mansfield
baseball franchise in the Ohio State
league to the new Mansfield base
ball company has been completed
and arrangements are now being
made TO give Mansfield a winning
club during the coming season. Ex-
tensive Improvements are contem-
plated by the new company at
League park and no expense will be
spared in giving Mansfield first
class club.
Tim Flood, who successfully man
aged the club during the latter
part of last season, has been re-
tanned as manager and will have
complete control of the club and
play third base. He will have
eleven veteran players who will
help him very much in selecting a
winning club, Bert Biery will again
play first, while Jimmy Ketler and
Jimmy Davy will be at second and
short, respectively. This will give
Mansfield the same infield as played
the latter part of last season.
Only one outfelGer. Edd Meehan,
remains, while the entire STAFF or
old pitchers will De back. Billy
Yarnell Harry Lloyd, Fred Eucholz,
Joe Phelan and "Doc" Bailey are
the veteran twirlers, all of whom
will return. Harry Breymaier has
been repurchased from Columbus
and win do the catching.
Quality rather than quantity has
been the motto of the management
in signing of players for tryouts
during the training season and al
though several more players will be
signed, they will have to show be-
fore they are taken on. The club
has also several other deals pend
ing for players.
Among the raruit pitchers signed
are Arthur TindeIl. of Big Rapids,
Mich; F. Pearson, of Toledo; Frank
Rainey, of Ft. Wayne, and Dave
Richards, OF North Lawrence. r..

hack the team, the Tigers should
present a strong front this season.
Newark Is awakening by their ac-
ton the past week and what was
gloom around baseball quarters
over there has turned to sunshine.
Matters are moving along nicely
now. The Stove City always has
been one of the best cities in the
league with a team that made any
kind of a showing. The last year
OF the o. G. p. league before the
south broke away rom the north,
Newark made a nice sum OF
money. which shows what can be
done again with a team up in the
race. such as Manager Dawson ex-
poets to have.
Word from George Fox the past
week is to the effect that he is well
pleased with the men signed up for
the 1909 I.anks. He thinks Lam
caster will have a stronger team
than last year II the pitching stan
comes up to past performances.
There is some good material signed
up and, II the men can show any
way near the work they have done
in other years, the LanKs will be
hanging around the top again
There is no disputing the fact but
that they have the material for the
greatest outfeld that ever wore a
Lancaster uniform. The same old
infeld will be on hand, and with
the catching department in good
hands OF either Piper, Williams or
Welsh to assist Manager Fox, the
team as a whole looks much
stronger.

CARELESS WITH CREDITS.

Brainern Dispatch: The Bemid il
Sentinel should edit it's Exchange
copy" with little more care. For
instance, it says, "a Brainerd saloon
keeper has offered the city $4,000
for the exclusive right to sell liquor
in that city," The Sentinel evidently
saw the news item in the Dispatch
which stated condition that existed
at Wadena, and being in a hurry
to appease the call for copy, the
application was made to fit Brainerd,
regardless of how ridiculous it
would sound to the outside world.
Brainerd receives a revenue of about
$4,000 from saloon licenses and
there is no intention of cutting the
rate to $4,000 to accommodate any
one man.
