was also star pitcher and captain
of the baseball team at the university.
After his college days he toured
the Orient with the university team,
and last spring signed contract with

half dozen major league clubs. Ow-
ing to the great number of good pitch

has not been given a chance with the
major league club. but was sent to
a southern club. where he has given a
good account of himself.
Des Jardien is a big fellow and
right handler. He has the reputation
of being an excellent fielding pitcher
and good hitter. He will pitch his
first game for Marshalltown on We'd
nesday and will take the mound for
