With the arrival Of seven more pros
pective members of the Ansons late

of Guy Beard, from st. Louis. this
morning, caused feeling Of relief re-
gardlng the former Kewanee star, who
has Of late been flirting with the Fed.
eral League magnates.
Martini, who has had to come farther
than any of the members Of the squad,
his home being on the Pacific coast,
has not reported. Deterich, the Minne-
sofa infielder, and Boyd. the outfielder
from st. Louis, are also missing. AS

Hurry Men to Field.
Work and more work Is the slogan
Of Manager Richards, and just as soon
as he had handful Of hopefuls press
ent Wednesday he chased them to the
field for a preliminary workout. Early
this forenoon a squad OF twelve men
participated in the practice work. and
it was hoped that before the afternoon
work is over practically all of the men
will be present.

men in uniform this morning: Beard,
Gruno and Lehman, pitchers; Ham,
merschmidt, Ryan and Unger. catch-
ers; Anderson, Cahill. Ryan and
Wright, infielders: Chapel and Dadis-
man. outfielders. b.

and the appellation of fence buster
which he has acquired in semi-profes-

dar Rapids had the field day in adj

Manager Jimmy Hamilton Of the
Cedar Rapids club, has has two new
recruits chasing the ball about the field
