Twenty-eight who twinkled in the
Lone Star circuit in 1880 are sche-
duled TO report for trials. including
all OF the outstanding performers.
Eight Of the number are pitchers,
nine infielders. eight outfielders and
three catchers. Baseball men fig

five shone for the San Antonio In

each were with the champion Fort
Worth Painters and Beaumont Ex-
porters: three each with Houston
and Dallas: two with Waco and n
with Shreveport.
The list does not comprise by any
means the entire number Of ia

The major league club that. in the

made the best pick Of the Texas
league crop was the Philadelphia
Nationals. The Phillies plucked the
loops two outstanding pitchers, Lii
Stoner and Harold Wiltse. and the
most promising young infielder. Les
Mallon OF the Fort Worth Cats.
Stoner won IA and lost 6 for the
Cats, and Wiltse, 10 and 9 for Wichi-
