 Some of the players were a bit stiff after their enforced lay off but few hours of grind remedied this and the squad as whole is in fairly good con- dition.
 Roy Ellam, the gritty little Baron shortstop is rapidly rounding into form and if fair weather continues will strike his real stride during the com ing week. Ellam anticipates making a good showing this season both in the field and at the bat and is working hard to bring this about He is hitting better this spring than ever, before and prospects are that he will top last years batting average by wide mar gin during the coming campaign.
