Bob Unglaub Satisfied
With Lincoln PLAYERS

LINCOLN, Neb.. March 24-Manager
Robert A. Unglaub, the former Wash
ington player, has arrived in the city
and has been a busy man since his ar
rival. Bob" is most happy when he is
doing things, and since his arrival he
has spent most of his time at the ball
park getting ready for the influx of
players.
Manager Cnglaub expressed his entire
satisfaction with the condition of things
as he finds them in Lincoln. He likes
the town and the people, and, while his
family may not come to Lincoln this
season, he acknowledged that Lincoln is
Just the kind Of place that would suit
Mrs Cnglaub, and ii is not beyond the
possibilities that Mrs. Bob" will be
coming to this town a little later
Plans have been made for a series Of
four exhibition games with the Omaha
club, two here and two in Omaha They
will be played April 1914 in Lincoln and
April 1916 in Omaha.
Manager Cnglaub is making no pre-
dictions to where Lincoln will be found
as regards the pennant this year. How
ever, he does say that the lineup of
the Lincoln club looks mighty good TO
him and that with the field supporting
the excellent corps of pitchers already
on the roster, there will be something
doing from the very start off, and that
the club which beats Lincoln out will
know that they have had to play ball
all season. 1t surely looks good to the
average fan when he looks at this line
up:
Pitchers-FOX, Hagerman, Knapp, and
Nolverton OF the old guard, with Apple
gate and couple of fast youngsters as
d help.
First base-Jack Thomas.
Second baSe-Bob Cnglaub
Third base-Jimmy Cockman.
Shortstop-Eddie Gagnier.
The outfield will be composed of Paul
Cobb, Cole, and the third position to be
thought for by Mccormick, late of the
New England League; Tommy Miller,
who has led the Kansas state League
two seasons in hitting, and a couple of
fast youngsters to make ii interesting
for the other fellows.
The infield quartet will have to go
some to get out Of the way of one or
two youngsters who look mighty good
to the manager, and take il all around.
prospects in Lincoln look mighty aIlur-
ing at this writing.
In short, Lincoln and her ball club
looks mighty good to Manager Cnglaub
and Manager Unglaub looks mighty
good TO Lincoln fandom.

fronted the mayor. A farmer who
failed to get loaded during the hilari-
GUS Xmas celebrations, finally sue
ceeded in coming to town and the
place was so lonesome that he decid-
ed to liven things up a bit and pro-
ceeded to get drunk in a truly Christ
mas style. He became so boisterous
that he was arrested and presented a
very sad spectacle this morning when
the Judge assessed him the usual
$3.50 and costs.
