"Lefty” Clark Joins Adrian Team of Michigan League.

Howard Clark left yesterday for =^^dr4sn-,Mie4fcvtfit^foiii_thfl.Ad.rian team of the Southern Michigan baseball league. The playing season does not open until April 29th, and the three weeks intervening will be'devoted to practice. “Lefty” has been unable to secure any practice so far this owing to the cold weather flbui the three weeks’ work should pul him into good shape. He proved an enigma to batters last year and is beyond doubt the cleverest pitcher who ever worked for Rensselaer. Many of the games won by the Athletics last year were pitchers’ battles in which he demonstrated his superiority. Not in a single game was he hard hit, while the games lost were generally because of a -bunch of costly errors. His friends here are expecting that he will make good and will watch the Southern Michigan league with interest. South Bend is now in that league and it Is probable that several will go there some time to witness a game when “Lefty” is at work. /
