Rockies, Seasoned Veterans to Be Given
Tryouts With Capital City Baseball Nine
Al Leary. Great Falls Star,
Signs for Tryout; Massmann
May Return

Competition for berths on the Bis
marck baseball team will be keen this
year with several promising first year
men and additional proven veterans
seeking to Dust last years regulars
from their starting positions.
Standout among the rockies signed
is AL Leary, Irish shortstop from
Great Falls, Mont, who wired his ac-
ceptance OF the Capital City clubs
offer Wednesday.
Leary is only 20 years old but IS said
by no less authority than Herb
Hester, who incidentally played con-
siderable baseball in his day-to be
the outstanding major league pros
pect to come out Of Montana for sew
eral seasons.
Playing with the Great Falls team
alongside of Puccinelli, who has since
graduated to the International league
and last year batted 1855 for Balti-
more. Leary Is said to have hit the
ball harder than the international
league star and compiled q higher
fielding average.
According to Hester. Leary IS fast.
aggressive player with q fine throw
ing arm and plenty of ability to cover
the key defensive position.
Massmann May Return
Forced last year to use Harold
Massman, one Of the most natural
second baseman ever seen here, at
the shortstop berth, Manager Neil
Churchill has long sought a regular
shortstop and Leary may be the
answer to that prayer.
Massmann notified Churchill Fri
day that he will be retained by the
Milwaukee Brewers as utility man
If he desires to stay on.
Seeing little chance Of ousting Lyn
Larry. regular second baseman who
last year batted $3.50 In the American
Association. Massmann Is considering
returning to North Dakota. II sal
airy differences can be adjusted 1t Is
likely that the popular young star
will again wear q Bismarck uniform
although Jamestown is also angling
for his services.
Andy Anderson, veteran backstop
who played last year with Beulah and
caught the All-Star game here, In.
formed the local clubs management
that he would like to play here this
year and may be given contract.
Anderson at present Is training with
the Sioux City team Of the Western
League.
Becker to Get Tryout
Gus Becker. rookie candidate who
was an outstanding infielder with the
Fort Lincoln team in recent years,
will be given a try-out for an outfield
berth. Becker. who got his experience
with the Moline, ILL.,, team in the
Valley League, is hard hitter and
q fast man on the bases or in the
field.
Additional rookie candidates al
ready slated for tryouts are Don
Bondy. Ben Jacobson, and Joe SchloS-
ser with others expected to get into
the battle for berths when the reg
ular practices start May S.
The infield will be well taken care
of with Joe Desiderato. Bob McCar-
ney, Red Haley. Walter Dietz. Leary
and possibly Masslnann vieing for
berthS, while in the ou:field will be
such players as Bill Morlan. Mike
Goetz. Tom Parker, Jacobson, Bondy.
