North end factories have been mail
ing local letters in the depot mail box

certain the names of those who have
been placing local mail in the box.
They will be asked to discontinue the

trip to Indianapolis and while there
looked up some good ball players for
his club. Several Of the best semi

outfielder, Bauman shortstop. Fire.
slime, third base, Miller, catcher, Lud-

some of the players whom Tommy
gave the once over. He also has lines

SORE WINGS FOLLOW
HIGH SCHOOL s PLAY
Candidates Go Too Strong in
First Outdoor Work Of
Season.

Aspirants for the high school base
ball team held their first workout last
night at the play grounds. Enough
reported for two full teams, and some
good practice was INDUCED in. The
boys could not stand for the timber
ing-up exercise and got right down to
work by staging a game.
Anthony Hafner and Wilbur Morel,
acting as captains selected their teams.
All the boys showed that they have
been doing little outdoor work and
funk the ball around as if they had
not let up during the winter. Many
are the sore arms at the high school
building today, and In the future the
boys will take things little more
easily.
Dollins, Letter and few other track
men we're also on hand trying out.
Track prospects appear to be picking
up, and Nohr, now that the weather
has warmed up, will begin drilling the
men on the finer points of track work.
