ness Of his brother.
Two Not to Report.
K Two Of the men under contract nave
notified Manager Boyle that they will
not report. One of these, McDaniels,
catcher. gives no reason for his de-
cision not to Join the squad, but the
other, Connell, infelder, has tanen the
management OF the independent team

organized baseball this season. Both
4 were considered good men.
III Few Of the men reporting Tor prac-
Aice yesterday had previously handled
q ball since last year, and as q con-
sequence it would be unfair to draw
comparisons of the individuals Mclean
who has had early spring work, ap-
I peared in the best Of condition. HIS
work was very satisfactory His team
mate, Binns, stationed at second also
seemed determined to show that he
would fight for position. Morgan was
\ sent to short and Collins to third.
