Lineup Somewhat Different From Last
Season and Losses Are Made Up
By Recruits Received.
SOME CONTRACTS EXPIRED
AND ARE NOT RENEWED
Team Is in Good Shape as Result Of
Light Winter Training, Such as
Road Building and Ditching.
BY FA1sTAFF.

Magnate Lawson's aggregation of ball
tossers at the state penitentiary is due
to add to its reputation of being one
of the fastest teams in the state. Moth.
ing the Federal league had to offer has
thus far tempted any of the players in.
to jumping their contracts. The con.
tract of Henderson, the heavy hitting
right fielder, has expired and he has
thus far declined to renew it. Christie.
the star third baseman, has been draft
ed to the minors, where it is hoped he
will make good, and not cause the col
onel to use the reserve clause and bring
him back.
To offset those lapses, new material
has been secured by the scouts in diff
ferent parts, of the state, and it is
likely the team will be stronger than
ever. Manager Frank H. snodgrass is
arranging a good schedule, and it is
planned to play several Sunday games
at the Salem league grounds, where the
fans Of Salem are promised some elev.
er exhibitions of the national game as
it should be played.
Gravey Behind Bat.
Captain Gravey will be found behind
the bat, and he can be depended upon to
do away with such petty pilfering as
stealing bases in the penitentiary or out
of it, as the case may be. The famous
Indian chief, whose playing has attract
ed the attention Of several coast league
managers, will be found at short, and
together with George Runt at second
will make pair that will turn many
an apparent base hit into an easy out
at first. Jesse James, who shut out the
fast Portland Transportation club with.
out hit last fall at the Salem league
grounds, is showing flashes of real big
league calibre. He has mastered what
he calls the boomerang splitter" so
called from the fact that when hit, the
ball, as general rule, bounds back to
the pitcher. To take the place of Hen.
derson, "Big Jack" Miller has been
secured for one year, and the fans will
see a real ball player when they gaze
at him.
Light Winter Training
Colonel Lawson has had the team in
training all winter doing light work,
such as building roads, draining and
clearing land, etc, The colonel believes
that throwing " pick, handling brick
and little indulgence in the pastime
of breaking rock are the best develop.
ers Of strong wings for the fast and
accurate throwing. If you doubt the
success of his system just 90 and see
his boys perform on the ball field this

II IL is possible to arrange for the
grounds at Salem, the game with the
crack Hartman club, Of Portland, will
be played there on Sunday, April 10.

ENGLAND'S GARDEN OF EDEN
One Of the Seven Picturesque Cot

II Is thought that the Central asso-

year. The season will open May 6.
As Labor day does not come until
sept. : this year. there is a possibil-
ity that the season will not close I'm
the Central until Sept 10. This would
make a hit with the fans in Muscatine
and would also. bring them much added
money as the cooler days or Septem-
Der are more conducive TO baseball
than the sultry days OF August Mus
