Of the good ones Of his bunch, who are

Of the Minneapolis team Monday and Pa
thinks II his boys feel as good az they did

TO hang one or two games on the lads from
'the northern city.

Mike Csntllion is optimistic over the
prospects for a winning team and thinks
they will be able to start at the drop OF
the flag for a fast race for the pennant

that he will lineup against Omaha is COM
posed mostly OF veterans, who have bene-
fitted greatly by their training at Des

This will make the Omaha team look
stronger than it has at any time so far
this season, and the games that will be
PLAYED after the arrival of the trio will
give the bugs a line on the team
In speaking of the work OF the Omaha's
TO date. Pa Rourke says he Is pleased with
the showing they have made in both prac-
tice and in the two exhibition games played
with Lincoln. I'VE have been working
with recruits mostly since the beginning
of the workout" he said, and aside from
getting the boys into shape have not at
tempted to do anything elss I.incoln's
players were mostly oTd-tmess. and have
had more work than We have But our
veterans that did play arrived late and
could not be expected to put up the game
>that the Antelopes did. with the lineup
we Will present to the White Sox we should
make them trip along at a fast clip to
hang much ON us"
Mondays workout at the Vinton street
park was light and consisted mostly in
batting practice and throwing to bases
The weather was a little too chilly to do
any heavy work
Fans who have watched the work of
some Of the recruits and stlIl of the opin-
Ion that Agner the big catcher will stick
in Omaha this season. He is playing
fast game right now, and it is quite prob
able that Pa will not loosen his grip on
the blonde boy until he has given him
every opportunity. 1t is probable one
pitcher will be retained, and, judging from
the work that has been done by aspirants
for the job, Sindelar and Hanson will be
the pair to draw to. Both twirlers have
shown speed and a nice collection Of curves
and pretty race is looked for between
them.
