their first practice of the season on
the past Sunday. A large squad
welcomed Manager Perc Hall at
this initial session. The time was
spent mostly in batting practice
and limbering the winter stale
arms. At the conclusion of the
practice a minute tussel was
played with the regulars coming
out in front by a big margin. Bill
Taylor, veteran catcher, pounded
the ball hard all day and seems to
be in great shape. Jackie Newman,
Everett and Boyles were in great
shape and seem headed for a big
year. Clayton will play a practice
game with Leipsic CCC camp on
Sunday. Manager Hall will be able
to get a much better line on his
material in actual combat. The
season will be open on Sunday,
