Duluth PLAYERS
AT THEIR CAMP
Number Of O'Brien's Stars
Reach Toledo; No Change
in the Schedule.

Duluth, April 5.-President H. A.
Blume of the Duluth Baseball asso-
citation yesterday received a long let
ter from the Irish Orator. Scattered
throughout the hieroglyphics were
sane sentences that had to do with the
past transactions and the future
movements of the Docks.
The Orator is at Toledo with the
first of the squad for company. Pi-
nochle and the movies will constitute
the principal part of the amusements
of the rockies until the main squad
arrives. which will be Monday. With
the coming Of the large consignment
OF team candidates will start the real
hard work of the season-for, Bill.
there remains less than twenty days
until the opening gun is fired.
With Minneapolis n st. Paul al
ready at practice. or attempting prac-
tee might be nearer the truth, il be-
gins to look like large league stuff in
he Northern. Duluth and Grand
Forks will De W. of the last teams to
report, but O'Brien figures that he
will have his men in the very best
condition by the time the series with
Madison is completed.
Big Sam Meniece yesterday stated
that he is in the very best of condi-
tlon; n the looks of the demon hit
ter bear out this statement. The
caretaker Of right field is of tho opin-
ion that he is going to have one of the
nylng banner years of his baseball
career. One of his chief diversions
during h present winter has beeh
to absorb a collection of bats, and il
the railroad officials don't charge the
tall cleanup hitter excess baggage, it
Will be becaus of the fact that they
are true dyed in the wool fans and
desire devoutly to see a young man
get along in the world.
Now comes the news that Lucella
SoLrs is not the property of the Du-
luth club after all. Sours WAS dis
posed OF to Omaha, which had a
string on this player last season, and
ne Is now the property Of one Of the
clubs in the Central association.
Negotiations are on at the present
time for the purchase Of Lucella, and
If the price asked for the sale OF the
1t is very likely that all complications
will be smoothed away and Sours will
be with US once again. like the stray
ing daughter in the last act of the
thrilling t~hree-priced show.
With Sours. Miller and Meneice in
the outield. and Elmer rapping the
pill as he was hitting when he was
put out of the game last season the
Docks would have one Of the best hit
ting garden tenders in the league and
also three Of the best throwers in
minor league company.
There will be no changes in the
schedule. This was the announcement
given out today from the local Office.
While 1t is believed by the local Of
ficials that considerable travelling ex-
pense could have been avoided by the
changing Of some Of the playing dates
the directors Of the Duluth Baseball
association are willing to stand by the
action taken at Minneapolis, and this
means that the scedule published In
the Herald "A week ago last Saturday
will go through as originally planned
Monday will see Minneapolis. st
Paul. Winona. Grand Forks. Winni-
peg and Duluth on he practice field
and with h settling down to practice
there will be the first real opportuni.
ty to get a line or the various teams
in the new Northern.
