out the call for his players to report
for first practice next Sunday morn
ing at the north side ball park. AL
though the players are to report of
ficially on next Sunday morning they
will start first practice Tuesday after
noon at the ball park. 1t was plan
ned by SQuibbs to hold practice be-
fore this but the weather has been
either too cold or to wet. The dia-
mOnds at the north side parks have
been prepared for this season and
considerable filling has been done.
The diamonds will be better taken
care of this year. according to
Squibbs. The grandstand and bleach
ers have been strengthened with new
timber and probably will be painted
this season. The fence, which was
started but not finished last season.
has been placed entirely around the
park. making an inclOsed ball ground.
According to a schedule which is
being arranged by Manager Squibbs.
the first game for the Mishawaka

son Will be played in this city on May

The promoters Of the AIishawaka
team last year spent a considerable
sum OF money in making the team
here a success with the fans and also
in their endeavor TO show the fans
some good local playing without hav-
ing TO attend games elsewhere. Near
~ $4,000 was spent in the erection Of
the grandstand and ball diamonds at
the north side last season.
Many new men will be seen in &C
ton when the team has its first prac-
tice Tuesday afternoon. Bert Raab,
formerly on the KOkOmO team. will
be one of the men TO be given a try
out as catcher. He has been recon-
mended TO the Mishawaka manager
as a wonder behind the plate. He is
a former MiShawaka boy and at one
time played on the Mishawaka team.
He is We'll known among the baseball
fans Of the city.
Several other new men will also be
seen on the diamonds, and although
there is a lot OF good new material.
the team will be shy considerable of
its good stock of last season. Babe"
