Petersen and Romanof are prob

this country for the first time a few

BASEBALL AT
U.

Minneapolis. Feb. I'm response
to Coach Sullivan's call. thirty base
ball candidates assembled in the ar
mory Thursday afternoon. They were
a likely looking lot. and if early ap-
pearances count for anything, Mime
apolis is going to have q far better ball
team than w before.
Prospects for a championship team
this year are brighter than they have
been in a long time. The material is
the best In years. and the coaching
will undoubtedly be the best the ma
room apd gold team a ever received.
Coach Sullivan not only knows the
game by his 10 experience in high
class ball, but he also has a knowl-
edge of college men. Sullivan has for
a number of years taken work in diff
ferent colleges during the interval be-
tween. baseball seasons and is at the
present time taking postgraduate
work in the Minnesota medical school.
Sullivan will be assisted by Frosty"
Thomas. the former Miller star. This
combination should work wonders, and
if the candidates for positions have
anything like an eel break in luck
with the eligibility committee. Mime.
sofa will have a baseball team this
spring which will class with her foot
fall and basketball teams.
The following men handed in their
names as candidates for various posi-

ARE
Champs Will Start Out as
Strong as Ever the Com
ing Season
erred r. Cohurnl

Minneapolis. Feb. 12-Just about
one month from today the Miller
champions will begin drifting south
ward. The Cantillon FASTENERS have
been ordered to report at Hiskman on
March II and ONE of them will likely
be there a few days ahead of sched-
uled time. Waddell and Clymer are
already on the ground at Manager
Joe's home and probably Jimmy Will
liams will join them before the rest
of the athletes board rattlers for the
south.
There is only two more months to
wait before the gong rings over tho
American association circuit and the
first balls are dished up in the start
of the 1912 championship race and
two months isn't such a long time. The
outcome of the race furnishes anoth-
er baseball problem for the devotees.
OF course it is the uncertainty that
makes baseball races the same as horse
races. But if somebody wa making a
winter book on the American associa-
ton 1912 %pennant chase the Millers
would undoubtedly be prime favorites.
The champs haven't lost a great deal
of strength since last season, in fact
1t Is to be questioned whether or not
the team as a whole will not be
stronger this season than when it start
w SAAO 4O44 CAiiAoA 1AullL
The entire team hasn't come into the
fold yet and there are the usual num-
Der of holdouts but the Cantillons be-
lieve the stubborn ones will be in line
by reporting time and look for every
one of their regulars to be on the
ground when the word go" is sound
ed. The team will likely lose in hit
ting strength because of the sale of
Cravath. But If present plans go
through what is lost in slugging pow
er will more h likely be made up
in rapid fielding and quick base work.
The Millers were not the best fielding
team in the world last e but came
mighty near being the hardest hitting
aggregation. Hence they can afford
to lose q little of their swatting
strength in order to obtain some bet
ter fielding. The makeup of the team
isn't certain yet. First base. third
base. shortstop and left field are the
doubtful positions but with two pen
nants behind him in two successive
years of managerial endeavor in Min
neapolis. Joe -Cantillon can be depend
ed, upon to put another strong team
