-Rumors are thick in this city
that General Warren Giles of the
Cincinnati Reds is interested in
acquiring Negro star outfielder of
the Montreal Royals. Although
the Reds front office is quiet
about the subject, the talk still
persists that Branch Hickey has
been approached to lower his price

Local observers believe that is
the reason the Reds are slow in

Mud Hens Begin
Spring Training

One week ago today the Toledo
Mud Hens entered into their first
concrete effort of the l949 Season
under the guiding arm of the De-
troit Tigers. Manager Leibold
has assembled twenty-four play
ers in the spring camp at Barlow,
Florida. From this initial group
and the few men the parent Tig-
ers may send to him, Memo must
assemble his 1949 entry into the
American Association pennant
race.
If the effort put forth at this
spring encampment in Barlow is
any indication of things to come,
it looks like Toledo is going to be
a tough ball club. With Manager
Liebold constantly cracking the
whip and riding herd on his charg-
es, the boys are bound to be in
good shape when the time comes
to move North for the opener on
April 10, 1949 at three o'clock
p. m.
The first few days of the spring
training program were utilized by
the pitchers and catcher. Of
the eight men reporting on this
earlier date seven were pitchers
and one was big Eddie Mordarski,
the one and only catcher. Big
Eddie really did have his hands
full then. With five extra days
to condition themselves these boys
were in working shape by the time
the nucleus of the squad reported
on March 18th.
The spring program is we'll un-
der way now and the boys are be-
ginning to find themselves again
for the 1949 Season. The pitch
ers are beginning to learn the way
to home plate, the big bats are
booming and the outfelders are
choosing fungo. All in all the
first signs of spring are here and
with the aid of Mortimer, the
Mud Hem, Toledo will definitely
be in the race.
