ity and this morning Manager Dunn
received word from him that he ia
ready TO 70 Us soon as the season
opens.
Clancy to Play First.
As yet nobody has been aSsigno
to the initial sack, although Dunn said
this morning that he has practicable
settled with man for that jon
Clancy. former ST. NiatOr star is the
man who is being considered to taNa
Kutz'a place. He wanted TO como
here last year but the local manage
ment was in such position that tho
didn't need him However Dunn has
been after him for several weeks ana
it looks like o sure thing now Clancr
is a young fellow, barely over . years
of age, and will no doubt make good
with the local club.
Achinger at Short
Achinger, n young fellow hailihS
from Spring Valley and who played iN'
the south last year. has been sienol
to play short AChir ger has been
down there for two years. Early this
season he asked Dunn for job. He
is a heavy hitter and an cXroptionaly
fine inlielier. and, according to rumor
Dunn won't have to worry about the
lads ability.
Roth to Be Back.
As for a backstopper. Charles Rot
will be back in the harness, and when
it comes to pitchers, the Cubs have q.
flock of petitioners. For instance
there is Lefty" Sullivan, former Sax
pitcher; Mike Prepdergast forme"
Chicago Cubs moundcr; McWhortcr Of
the Moline Three Eye club, and sog-
eral others who are very anxious to
pitch here this year 1t is also re.
ported that there is a chance that|
Jimmy Lynch might be here again this
year to display his ware The way i. ,
looks now, judging from statements by
the management. there is big chance
Of either McWhortcr or Sullivan doing
the hurting here this year NcNhor-
ter especially is being given extra con.
sideration and would no doubt go
along good here.
