WRENS TO SOAR IN 1910; HARMON TO BE MANAGER.

Fate, Moore, Porter and Tutenr to Help Manage the Business During The Coming Season. Baseball is assured for the coming season. At a meeting held Monday evening, steps were taken to start the ball to rolling and the bat swing-' ing and while the meeting was not largely attended, there was considerably interest and those present re- 1 ported that they had heard many express the hope that there would be a ball team and say that thfey were willing to help it along. They have a small balance in the treasury, have all but one of the uniforms purchased last year and some small equipment. They also have the advantage of last year’s experience and will start in with practically the same team that they had last year. The organization was effected by the election of L. A. Harmon as manager, and George Fate, B. J. Moore, W/ V. Porter and Herman Tuteur as a board of directors. Fate is president, Moore treasurer and Tuteur secretary. The secretary was instructed to write to Johnnie Hanks and get his pitching terms and also Tommy Kevin, last year’s active and smooth little third baseman. The local timber will be McLain, Swartzell, Wilcox, Morgan, Tommy Jensen, the recruit from Wheatfield, Parks, Kirk, and whatever youngsters may want to get into the game. It is also expected to get George Hassar, the St. Joe pitcher and outfielder and McGurren, the fast shortstop and clever all around player, at least for the early games and then to retain them all through the season if possible. Ranner, the Sheldon center gardener and pinch hitter is also being looked after and will probably be secured. Another meeting is to be held Thursday night and it is hoped by that time to have arranged for a full team and to have received some replies about early games. The Wrens should be ready for business within a couple of weeks and the season will start out very auspiciously from present indications.
