Array Of Talent

Peoria, ILL.,, April 2.-Only 10
more days until the appetite Of
Peoria's baseball fandom will be
satisfied.
Manager Bill Jackson has issued
a call for all Of his recruits to re-
port here for spring training at that
time.
Chances are that large crowds Of 4
fans will be gathered along the side
lines each afternoon to watch some
of the new Tractors perform, as
the fans appear to be more Man
anxious to go back to their old
habits of watching the boys per-
form. /.
That Peoria fans will be more
interested in the sport this seaeon
than they have for some time. is
evident from the amount Of enthus-
iasm displayed by the fans.
Good News for Random.
Manager jackson announced to-
day that he expected to have some
real dope for the fans within the
next 48 hours.
For the past few days he has
been keeping the wires hot with a
major league pilot in an effort to
land slab artist who started his
baseball career round these parts
some years ago and who is anxious
to again play with Peoria.
| jackson expects to close a deal
with a big league club within the
next few hours which will give
Peoria another player.
| Sure of Good Pitchers.
That Peoria's hurting staff will
be made up of some real high class
hurlers is practically assured.
While only a few tossers have
been signed to date, the Peoria boss
has the promise of several big
league pilots that they will supply
him with any material that needs a
little more seasoning in the minors.
Since Jackson will not be ac-
lively engaged In playing this sea-
son, he expects to put in more time
drilling his pitehers. He expects
to have couple of youngsters on
his staff and is in hopes that he will
be able to make big leagues out of
them before the season closes.
Places 3 Few Vets.
| Bills experiment with a club of
youngsters last season taught him
a lesson and he proposes to start
the 81 campaign with several vet
Grams in the lineup.
While it is not necessary to have
club of vets, Jackson wants one
or two vets on the infield and pos
sibly one in the outfield to steady
the youngsters little bit in case
that they should falteE
Too many youngsters play
