Bisbee daily review., 1910-04-09
Dali SAYS NOT
To EXPECT TOO
MUCH At ONCE
Fans Are Warned That Team
to Meet Douglas Today Is
Not So Strong as 1t viii
Be Later.
Probable Batteries for Today's Game,
Douglas-Walters and LeBrand.
Bisbee-Pitts and Gr!ndle.


It's the big noise sure enough at
the Warren ball park today. The
Darlings OF Dalrympledom will hook
uD with the first team of real cactus
class that they've faced this season
in the first CT two exhibition games
to be played against Dinney's Demons
or O'Donovan's Dumplings, or what
ever YOU choose TO call them Any
how. they come from Douglas
The choice of batteTymen may be
all switched as last night it was I'M
certain from the local end, owing to
the fact that a player or two might
arrive who could be switched into the
pitchers box If in condition. As TO
lireup on the team. that's another
uncertainty. owing to late arrivals
who NAV get in this morning. Doug
las will come in on the 9 O'Clock train
with the Rube Horseshoe Harry
Cant. Dinny and other notables. some
If whom have been seen here before
and some who are new.
Regarding the possibilities OF win
ming, Manager Dalrymple said yes
terday:
Don't take it for granted that We're
going TO make a runaway race OF II
in these two contests. The team
net as strong as it may look Han
son is new at first base and the short
stop's lob is still vacant. The lineup
wen use until other players arrive
viii he switched considerably from
that with which wen start the regular
season. The bunch back of the
game are going through with baseball
though. and we're going TO have
winning team; but too much stress
should not be placed on these TWO
exhibition games"
REGARDING the betting on Blsbee, IN
either today's or Sundays games
DaI-s statement should be taken on
its face value. The team is weak
right now, but that's no sign its go
ing to stay that way. The fans are
not advised to bet on Bisbee as a
sure thing crosser Of the wire hrs'
pop. It's UP to the fans own judg
ment. and they must remember that
we're going against team with line
up practically completed for the all
season run. while the home hopes
are still shy at one or two positions
The rain Of last night. with bit
of sunlight. should put the diamond
in first class shape. with no dust TO
hamper the players, such as the cy-
clone which bothered last Sunday
and kept everybody from getting a
line on what the boys could do with
any kind of a fair day.
Turn out and give the boys your
confidence anyhow and holler If they
should lose. That's the spirit.
@Pinkey" Grindle. he OF the stocky
build. Just about the right size to con
tain the requirements of a frst-class
catcher, arrived yesterday morning

Manager Dslrymple for duty, goinl
