BIG BASEBALL SQUAD IN SUNDAY WORKOUT

Twenty Candidates For Positions In Sunday Morning Workout—Many Fans Are Present.

Twenty candidates for positions on the Athtetics and about one hundred fans greeted Manager Grant Sunday morning at Riverside Athletic park.' It was the most enthusiastic turnout by a Rensselaer squad for several years and the baseball bug seems to have struck the fan haider than ever before this year and indications point to the most successful season that a Rensselaer team has ever had. All of the former Atheltics were out with the exception of Elder, who Vas out of the city. Heflin, of Lebanon, and Haun and Smith, of Delphi, were also on hand and went through a snappy practice and made the fans happy by their clever work. They will be retained throughout the season. They are infielders but it is not improbable that one of them will be used in the outfield. Swartezll worked out at first base and looked as good as ever. Eldridge was tried at second base and seems to have clinched the position. Parks, Elder, Blue, Clark, Healy and Eigelsibach are the outfield candidates and there should be no worry about the outer works. Wilcox is fit and will be found on the receiving end Sunday. Clark has 3 crippled arm and there is some doubt as to whether he will be on the firing line. The season’s opener will be with St. Joe at Riverside park, and if the day is a good one a great crowd should be on hand for the start.

House Adopts Measures For Uniform Grading of Grain.

Washington, D. €., April 29. Against the protest of the New York produce exchange and other opposition the house today adopted as part of the agricultural appropriation 'bill the Ruibey bill for uniform grading of grain.

It authorizes the secretary of agriculture to fix, establish, and promulgate grain grades and compel their use wherever grain is shipped in interstate or foreign commerce and sold by grade. It is similar to a bill passed by the house in the last congress and favorably reported from a senate committee but not acted on by that body.
