GIBSON GIVEN RELEASE

FORT WAYNE, Ind. April g.
With a little more sunshine the local
baseball recruits may get to work out
OF doors today.
The sunshine Of yesterday dried up
the ball field at Concordia college con-
Biderably. and though the infeld Is
too muddy to work upon. II Is likely
that the grassy outfield will be In
shape for play at least by this after
noon.
Manager Shughnessy is anxious to
get his men out In the open. Training
in a gynasium is all right when moth
ing else can be done. but much more
satisfaction, as far as baseball Is con-
cerned. can be secured while working
In the open air. The training In the
gymnasium has given the recruits n
chance to accustom themselves to
baseball and all will be ready for
strenuous practice on the ball field
in a few days.
Gibson Released.
There is one near Bilikener who is
with US no more. This party is
George Gibson. the soldier who halls

Akron, o., April 5.-More sunshine
and more baseball. With Old Sol
shining brightly again Thursday after
two days OF snow binding winter,
Fohls band OF huskies prepared them
selves for another sojourn at League
park Thursday afternoon.
A walk to Springfield lake and re-
turn to stiffen up the legs OF the crowd
was the extent OF the training We'd
nesday, but this was sufficient for
most members OF the team.
There are now IL Champs on the
ground and more are expected In dur

TERRE HAUTE. Ind. April s.
Terre Haute baseball stock Jumped
up several points this morning owing
TO the arrival at the kennel OF ~Cy"
Alberts, the veteran pitcher. The old
war horse had been flirting with a
railroad job up at Wayne, but a few
days ago he got the fever" and wired
the Terre-ir management that he
would report. His arrival this after
noon sets at rest all reports that he
wouldn't be found with the club this
season.
ICY" says he is feeling bully and
that he is in great shape. He fred
a few moguls while employed by a
railroad running out of Fort Wayne
and he Is hardened considerably more
than usual. He has been working
out little at home and finds his arm
all o. X
Alberts should be a winner for the
tribe this season. He is a grant twirl-
er, knows the game from A. to z. and
is at his best when under fire. Last
year he won eleven games and lost
twelve with a tail-end aggregation.
At that. he would have done better
had he not been forced to work sew.
