Reports emanating from Marlin.
where the Giants are limbering up
for the coming campaign, say that
Bill Morrisette the former Richmond
pitcher. is making a good showing
with John McGraw bunch. "Cutey''
and "Jawh" are two of a kind and
we hope that there are no ladies near
when they begin exchanging greet
ings.
II is said that Ed. (strangler)
Lewis, the popular grappler who halls
from the blue grass region OF Ken

time in the near future for the worlds

After looking over the rosters OF
some Of the American association
clubs and seeing the nantes OF such
men as Roy Hartzel. Ed. Sweeney
and Dutch" Hoffman. we now feel
that the International league clubs

league series opens in August.
There has always been question
as to which is the stronger organiza-
ton, the International league o, the
American association, and II will have
been settled by the middle OF next

The Virginia league clubs are fast
making preparations for the 1917 sea-
son. and from present indication: the
organization Will be a strong ono this
year There will be lot OF new
talent on the clubs. and youngsters
are going to have the cali over the
veterans. This Is something that has
been needed In the Bradley c''cuit
for some years. and 1t should tend to
make the season more successful than
ever before.
Manager Billy Smith declares that
ne is going to have a team this sea-
son that will be up in the r, ming
for the gonfalon from start to finish.
He declares that IL the fellow3 who
have already been signed are not good
enough to hold their own in the Bar
row league, he is going to take some
of tho big league clubs surplus talent.
