few days is assured by the announce
ment by Manager Mike Kelley that
negotiations for the purchase OF Pitch
er Dan D. Griner of the st. Louis Ma

will arrive in st. Paul this week.

whom Kelley has been negotiating for
several days. The other also mas
National league reputation, and II he
is procured within the next seVera
days, as anticipated by Kelley, the
Saints hurting department Will De par
ticularly we'll equipped.
Griner has served with the Carolnals
for a number Of years, and those
familiar with his work declare that he
is a far better man than mere hgures
will show. Errors behind him last sea-
son were costly, and are a factor con-
cerned In his official record.
Griner pitched in thirty seven games
for the Cardinals last season, compiet-
ing nine, for a total Of $50 innings. He
is credited with winning five and los
ing eleven. Two of his victories were
shutouts. He struck out forty-slx

NORTHERN IS
FARING GOOD
Up TO DATE
Comparatively Few Games
Postponed - All Clubs
Are Strengthening.

While rain has interfered with play
ing in the Northern league during the
past few days, several games being
postponed, the early season weather
conditions this year have been far bet
ter than last year, and several other
seasons. with the result that the six
clubs in the circuit are away to q
much better start.
So far. indications point to very
we'll balanced league. All of the clubs
have shown up in pretty good shape,
and while there will be a strengthen
ing on the part of every club, it is
not anticipated that any moves now
contemplated will give any particular
team any marked advantage.
Pitching so far has been exception
ally good for the early season, and
each club seems quite we'll equipped in
the matter Of hurlers. Several changes
are already announced by some of the
clubs.
Virginia has been successful in add
ing Weising. a catcher from the West
ern league, who has so far showed up
in good shape, especially in the hitting
department.
Manager Brautigan of the Superior
club, has added Meister. an outfielder,
who so far has shown up fairly good.
He took Schulz's place in the outer
garden and is a big improvement.
In Webb at second and Lasche at
third base, Darby O'Brien of the Du-
luth club seems to have picked up a
likely pair Of youngsters. They came
to the Northern from Cleveland, where
O'Brien has been successful in recruit
ing many baseballers. Schmidt, an
other youngster is playing nice ball at
first base.
Newt Randall, former big Lacquer
now with the Duluth club, is having
some trouble getting started this
spring. and is not hitting up to the
mark that may be expected of him
later in the season.
Menosky, former Federal Lacquer,
released to Duluth by the Minneapolis
club, is going great guns in this COM
pany, and has proved a big aid to
O'Brien in the early phases of the
drive.
