and West for the Nannigans
The above lineup and batting order
for sunday afternoons game were
announced by Manager baltimore this
morning, and they include every man
who was out in a uniform Friday aft
ernoon- The only men who are not
included are Monroe and Daringer
who have not yet arrived.
Despite the fact that the diamond
was heavy and soggy from the recent
rains, the players were given a good
stiff workout Friday afternoon, and
only the infield practice was passed
up. Each of the pitchers was sent
to the box and told to use everything
his arm would stand, and most of
them put on a little stuff for the first
time.
West in Shape.
"Hi' West. the new Pacific Coast
twirler was the sensation of the aft
ernoon because he appeared to be al
most in season form. However, this
was explained by the fact that he came
from a country where they have been
having baseball weather for the last
six weeks.
West by the way looks and acts
like an honest to Jove twirler The
first ball he pitched after going into
the box landed in the short ribs of
Glen Trainer-and Trainer was the
first man to assert that HIS" speed
should be fast enough to drive 'er
away from the plate. West has a de-
livery very similar to that of Harry
Gaspar, of Sioux City, and Gaspar ;
style is particularly valuable in that
few batters are able to figure out what
he is serving them until after the ball
reaches the plate.
Shows Form Familiar.
And, speaking of similarites d
number of brave fans who faced the
disagreeable dampness and mud to
watch Fridays work discovered that
there is a marked resem blance-in
looks Only-between Catcher Snow
and Umpire Van SICKLE, who worked
in the league last season. From thS
sky line of the back of his head down
TO the pedals, Snow does look very
in umpire toys and backed up behind
the plate he could pass for the Omaha
indicator manipulation before any
crowd
Bugs Grover was serving them up
at a lively clip Friday, and he says
that the old souper is rounding into
shape as nicely as could be expected
Bugs" lost his razor hone early II
the week and has not been able to give
the muscles of his arm the scrapins
exercise they should have, but he
thinks that maybe it is all for the
better as the weather has not beer
exactly right for too much strenuous
work.
A Clean Bunch.
One feature about the members oil
Manager Lattimore's squad thai
should make a favorable impression
on the fans is the exterior polish
most of them seem to have acquired
They all are a clean looking bunch
and apparently place making good il
baseball above everything else. Tos
of them have been about enough tC
know how to conduct themselves prop
erly, and there seems to be little
chance for the old rowdyism tactic:
and rough stuff to creep in to any
phase of their public appearances.
The players are about as keen fol
Sundays battle as the fans are ant
will undoubtedly put on a perform
ance worth watching. Spencer Arthur
Abbott, who will umpire all the othel
exhibition games, will officiate Sun
day
