Early Birds Report for First Work With Quaker Team Tuesday Morning

. The advance guard of Richmond Central league players arrived in the city today tor spring training. Twenty-three men hare been ordered to report here by Managjer Myers and he expects nearly all otf tnem will be here by tomorrow evening. The first to report were Jake Fromholtz. pitcher, of Lawrenceburg, Ind.. G rover Young, pitcher, of R'.dgeway, Pa., Paul Jennings, infLelder, Whitewater. Ind., and C. N. ' Stadfeld, infielder, Indianapolis. t "Red" Aineworth. a pitcher secured from the Chicago White Sox, is also on the Job. He reported here over a n eek ago. Takes First- Practice -Tuesday "If the weather is favorable we will take our first workout at Athletic, park about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning," Myers said. "The team will use the club house at the school playarounds on Sotth Twenty-second street." This morning Myers received a telegram from Manager Bresnahan of the Toledo A. A. club 7ffering him an outfielder and a pitcher, but the boss of the Quaker team has not yet decided whether he will accept the offer. He is expecting to secure two or three recruits from Wecihman's Chicago

National league team and he has lines out for some other classy youngsters. Judging from the appearance of

Fromholtz, Young and Ainsworth the local team will have a giant twirling corps. These three men are all over six feet tall " and of sturdy build. Kromholtz is a little over weight, but Ainsworth end .Young are already at lilaying weight and will need very little work to condition themselves. Jennings Show Good Form Both Fromholtz, and Young were secured from the Evansville club. Stadfeld has only had experience on semi-professional teams but he comes tery highly recommended. Jennings is a Wayne county youngster who has been showing good form for the past two seasons on county teams. The management of the local league club yesterday let a contract to the Miller-Kemper company of this city for the construction of a grandstand at Exhibition park which will have a seating capaciay of 1,800. Bids will soon be received for the contract for constructing the bleachers, which will have a seating capacity of approximately 2,000. Harry Pinnick, who secured the contract for constructing the fence at the park, began construction work today. The work of grading the grounds is progressing steadily and if weather conditions are favorable the park will

be ready for use on the date of the

j league opening, May 3, when the RichI mond and South Bend clubs clash.

FROM BASE TO BASE

WITH FRANK DUNING

Grand Rapids appears, on paper, to have one of the strongest infields in the Central league, as without exception the veteran quartet of inner guardians will be doing duty when the season opens on May 3. Capt. "Scof.t" Alock will be at third, "Scoops" Carey will play second, and Harry Brant should repeat his star performances at shortstop. , Frank Edington. while primarily an outfielder, was used at first base the latter part of last year and no man could have acquitted him nelf better than Frank did. With DeVoraer catching and several good recruits signed up the Rapiders seem fixed for the season. South Bend News. Apparently the Dayton Vets, are in h bad way. Jack Lackaff, one of the reasons why the Vets won the Central flag last year has joined the Dayton holds, Jacobs, Sykes, Hcbbs and Heck. Dayton opened with Columbus Saturday and came off a poor second. The Vets equaled the Senators in numebr if svrats recorded, but in the field their work was xinful. Dayton erred ten times. Neis, third base, with three boots; Second baseman Tepe, Shortstop Hobbs and Catcher Callahan, with two apiece, were the chief offenders. Columbus won, 9 to 3.

Hobbs may be a hold-out but he was back at short just the same when Johnny Nee siced the Vets on the Senators. Joe Dunn plans to take his class of Springfield timber out for an airing this afternoon. The old guard section of Caveney, Clark, Loudermilk, McCluskey, Donley, Hungeling and Hafte would be among the first talent on the field Dunn predicts. The financial S. O. S. has been flashed at South Bend and Grand Rapids. The sale of season tickets at these Central provinces has not been what it might to say the least. The managements of these clubs, however, feel confident that the fans will come through with the necessary guarantee.
