Egan, of the Waterloo club, has only
one position on his club aside from his
pitching staff that is causing him any
worry. He is we'll fortified except first
base and the pitching mound. Bob
Hasbrook is slated to be returned to

For second base Egan has Johnny
Donahue. one Of the hardest hitting
infielders in the league last season. and
it is also probable that Ole Swick.
former Keokuk inflelder, will report to
the local club this season. Swick was
purchased by the Waterloo club more
than year ago, but refused to report
last season. He played in the Detroit
city league but is said to be anxious
to return to organized baseball.

Ralph Miller, who was with the locals
last season, and Harry Coffin, former
Fort Dodge inflelder, will battle for the
other position.
Jack Hruska and "Jiggs" Hoffman
