New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1921-04-13

eF Win Wnlcn we nave been blessed the
past few days, the minds Of the base
ball fans are beginning to turn towards
the national pastime and inquiries are
ripe as to who will fill the berths on the
crack New Ulm nine which has been
planned during the past month.
Four Players Engaged.
Up to the time of this writing four
players have been engaged for the New
Ulm nine while several other PROPOSE
tions and offers are under discussion
or awaiting the acceptance of the
OF players. The manage
ment is trying to pick the very best
players obtainable and as they have
had such large number of inquiries
and applications they are taking the
time to get a record upon the men they
choose.
billie Behind the Bat.
The many baseball fans will no
doubt be glad to hear that billie"
Born, New U)m's veteran from last
year will be behind the bat. Every
one who witnessed any Of the games
last year know that Born is very
capable catcher and as for his slugging
his past record speaks for itself. In
Bruseck, the management is inclined
to believe that they have secured one
of the best twirlers, not yet hooked up
by one Of the big leagues and if he re-
peats his record of last year there is no
question, but that New Ulm will have
a very successful year. g
Bum Also Back.
To complete our triangle, catcher,
pitcher and first, the directors have de-
cided to make it a triple "B'' and have
again secured the services Of Thurman
Bum, the classy first base1nan who
thrilled the audience with his great
playing last year. Bum is one Of the
best first bNsemen that ever played in
these parts and has shown considerable
speed and agility while running the
bases. It is safe to say that Bum
scored more runs for the New Ulm
team than any other player last year
and has also shown himself very adopt
with the bat when in pinch. He has
accepted the management of the team
and will no doubt put forth his best
efforts to pilot winning team.
Davis at Short.
Ham Davis, who has been playing
on one of the interstate league teams
in Iowa has been accepted to fill the
position of shortstop. He also has a
very good reputation and if streps'
count the shortstop position will be
well taken care Of.
DIR. j. P. Graft was down in Mime
apolis early this week making arrange:
ments with one Earl j. Maxwell. Max
well played on the Aberdeen, S. D.
team last year and has also played
with Montevideo, MINI. He is a
third sacker and would like to have a
chance to hold down that position with
the New Ulm nine. ss@s
According to present indications
these are all the players that will be
hired at present as the directors want
to besure that they can arrange enough
games to play twice a week before they
hire the full lineup. The vacant
positions will be filled up with home
players for the first few games and il
they are able to hold down their re-
spective positions there will be nc
necessity of hiring more out Of town
players.
