for the success of the season, largely
because of the cooperative boosting"

Rebel Cakes Expects To Be in
the Race This Year.

Denver. Col. March 27.-When the
signed up members of the Denver
team of the Western league responded
TO Rebel Cakes rebel yell on the
local diamond Monday afternoon,
there were candidates on hand for
every position on the nine but one.
Arnong the twenty-one candidates who
began training there were a goodly
number of faces strange to Denver
fans; including a delegation from
semi-pro circles and one amateur.
The vacant position is in the out
field and the club management eX-
poets 10 fill it by retaining the most
promising of the recruit infielders who
otherwise would be relegated to other
circles. Both the men signed speci-
fically for outfield positions are vet
Grams. There are recruit candidates,
however. for hurlers, receivers and in
field positions.
The Bears play their first game this
week, tho whether it will be a mere
scramble with a college nine in mid
week or a regular set-to with the
Chicago National league team. which
comes here Saturday for a twO-game
series depends on whether Manager
Cakes can arrange with the collegians.
However, besides the two games with
