Nichols is regarded as a sure field

he will try for second base. Two
years ago Nichols was in the New
England league, playing second base
for Fall River. He made quite a rec
ord and unfortunately he was taken
sick last season and did not play
league ball. The Jack" Murray is
well known locally and it is probable
that Jack" will try for first baseman.
Those who have seen him work
around the initial sack say he is a
good man and will cover the bag in
fine shape.
Batcheller is a pitcher with all the
curves on the map at his command

fast man and an intielder, who will
hold his own with the best of them.

his arm out while practicing with the
Lawrence club and he Immediately re-
turned home. The arm has improved
wonderfully and Ensign intends to

Ensign is some catcher" when he is
going right.
Manager and Captain James Garry
will be on hand to look over the re-
cruits and he will start wedding them
out as soon as possible. Garry in
tends to present ball team which
will be equally as good as the one last
