MILLS THINKS
" He Can REPEAT
FiillbiIlies' Manager On The Job And
Claims To Have Another Bunch
OF Winners.

Vicksburg, Miss, March 13.-O. O..
Mills, manager of the Vicksburg base
ball team, arrived here Saturday night
from Dallas, Texas, where he has spent
the winter
Mills is the second player of the
local squad to arrive. Jack Brewster,
third baseman, having reached here
one day last week.
Mills expects that his men will be
ordered to report in Vicksburg about
the Goth of the month. AS the season
pens on April 18th, this will give the
players three solid weeks of practice
in which to timber up and get in shape
for the fray.
keeping down expenses, will not bring
large squad of recruits to Vicksburg.
He hopes to secure Kuhn to hold
down the first base, though this is not
certain The head of the team would
like to get Kuhn, and will do what he
can to land him. Kuhn last season,
until his illness, proved a most useful
man on first bag. His fielding was
excellent and his hitting always op-
perfume.
However, the local team will not be
left in the lurch in any event. Ar.
rangements have been made to sign a
first sacker named Bloomer. This
man was most highly recommended to
Mills by Fletcher, of the New York
Giants. Personally, Mills does not
know about the ability of the player
but he will be brought here and given
a trial.
Galloway, the old Vicksburg favorite
will play in Vicksburg if he plays any
where. Galloway, at present, is among
the hold outs, but it is hoped that he
and the directors will be able to get
together on the salary question, and
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-03-13

that he will be wearing Vicksburg
uniform when the season starts.
Vann is due to hold down short and
Brewster will be on third again. The
high-class work of these two young
sters needs no comment.
Guitterez, the former local catcher,
have no use for the Cajan backstop on
the 1912 team. Parrot will be brought
here to start the season behind the
bat. and the manager also has some
other men in sight who will be brought
here to show what they can do
Sparks will be the only one of last
years pitchers to come back this seas
on, says Manager Mills. Comstock
Randall and Mason will go.
One big new pitcher has been Sc
cured by Mills. His name is Hooks,
and he halls from Cisco Texas. He is
bigger than Randall and Mills expects
much of him.
Mills also expects to get a couple Of
more pitchers, and Dale Gear manager
of the Topeka. Kansas club, has prom
ised to give the local team a couple
of first class pitchers. as we'll as other
men.
The Vicksburg outfield is not yet Sc
lected. OF course Mills will hold
down one of the positions. Hanna,
who went from here to Birmingham,
was sold to Selma. Hanna is DESTROYS
of coming back to vicksburg and Mills
would like to get him, but nothing is
! certain in this respect.
Our team head expects to go to
| Shreveport about the twentieth of this
month, when he will confer with Dale
Gear-the Topeka team is training
there-and arrange for securing need
ed players.
Last year Mills got some of his best
players through Gear, and it is not a
Question of getting cast offs but only
excellent men.
THE loss of four such men as Han.
ia, Crichlow, Comstock and Randall is
great blow to the Vicksburg team,
remarked Manager Mills at his hotel
this morning, land of course it will be
difficult matter to get suitable men
to take their places and yet remain in
the salary limit.
However, the outlook looks bright
enough to suit me. We will start with
a number of men of known ability"
