“Lefty” Clark is One of a Dozen Pitchers at Adrian.

“Lefty” Clark has written back from Adrian, Mich., where he ar rived. Tuesday, that he is one of a dozen pitchers who are being tried out and from which five are to be selected. He is the smallest of the lot and it is possible he will have hard picking to get a place. Only the pitchers and catchers have reported so far and the work out is in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Howard boards at the Central Hotel and is on a training table diet, which don’t set very well with him. The manager looks all the slab aspirants over during the daily workouts and within a week or so will probably commence the weeding out process. Howard’s many friends here are hoping and feel confident that he will be able to stand the pace and that he will be In the final five and the only thing that will keep him out will be the fact that he had been unable before leaving home to get any practice whatever this year.
