DEVILS LAKE BASEBALL PLAY
ERS INDULGE IN WARMING
UP PRACTICES DAILY.

Beginning the first Of the week the
fans Of the city have had an opportun-
ity to size up the players who will com
pose the Devils Lake team this year
and the inspection has been a thorough
ly satisfactory one. Practically all Of
the players are here and the daily prac-
tices have been steadily increasing i,
pep and ginger. Fast ball playing is
what the fans like and it is apparently
what they are going to get.
The pitching staff this year will be
composed of Caylor and Manke, the
two artists who threw their way into
favor with the fans last year. They
are both fast, have good heads and are
not afraid of anything that is put up
! to face them. Cadreau, the Indian who
made good with Minot last year and
who had tryout with Chicago this
spring will be in the box for the locals
! during the season. The Indian is a
hummer and will show splendid speed
if in the shape he was in last year.
McGarry, a st. Paul man who is we'll
known throughout the Northwest, will
be the first catcher. Mac is man
that not only plays the game from start
to finish, sizing up the batters rapidly
and helping the pitcher. but he furnish
es the fans with a continuous vaudeville
show. During his games in this part OF
the country the past two years Mac
has made host Of friends: =
Halgrim, who will assist back of the
bat is already in the city and promises
to be on the job. In addition to his
battery duty he will help in the field
Iipps, the first baseman of last
years aggregation, will be on the init.
ial sack and his work, if up to the
standard set last year, will go without
question.
Schremley, former Wisconsin player
who has travelled with fast company
will be igven an opportunity to make
good on second base and from the ere
dentials which he has presented viii
have little trouble.
Tyvan, local man, is to be used al
third if his playing comes up to tht
mark. His practice work has been goof
and he shows signs of being conner.
Chief Thompson, one Of the old Mino
stars and fast infeld man, is to play
short and if he is in his old time form
will show the fans splendid exhibition
of the National game. He covers al
kinds of ground, is good with the sticE
and has pretty whip to first.
i shaulis, the playing manager, viii
cover the right garden, where he ca'
keep his eye on the play and see thai
things go right. The substitute pitch
ers and the extra catcher will play th'
other two fields.
The new diamond is being fixed III
for the games thisyear.
No certain schedule has been arrang
ed yet. The team will, however, leav'
for Grand Forks on the 18th, wher,
they will play the Picketts, going from
there to Park River and perhaps visit
ing other towns enroute. Their frs
home game will be between the 1Stl
and Goth Of this month, though the op
posing team has not yet been elected.
During the year games are to b'
played with Minot, Valley City. spik
Anderson s All Stars, both Colored Go
pher teams, the fast Alexandria slug
gers and the teams from this part o
the state. The Picketts and the Go
pliers are to be here during Chautauqu'
time.
Every indication points to winnin!
team and it is up to the citizens to d
their share.
