CENTRAL TEAMS TUNE UP FOR OPENING FLAG RACE

Now that the majors have swung Into regular actlpn and the opening games of the big time circuits ara history, attention may (or the moment be turned to another opening inaugural services, so as to speak, a trifle nearer home. The Central League, the organiza tion which is to give Richmond bugs their first season of Class B baseball, opens May 3. The eight teams of the circuit are in action right now. A summary of the activities at the eight different Lases of the Central reveals the following conditions some three weeks before the opening games: DAYTON The Vets, the best bet in the Central last year, are in a good way but do not loom as strong as they did htbt year this time. A number of veterans who helped win last season's pennant are missing from the club roster and Manager Johnnie Nee is confronted with the task of building somewhat of a new model before the cambric chase opens. Dayton will be without a new park for the opening games inasmuch as the pew plant being erected there will fall a number of weeks shy of completionDayton probably will use Westwood park until Ihe new ground is ready. GRAND RAPIDS Grard Raoids. runnerup to the Dayton club, in the Central race last year, apparently is as gocd if not better than last year. Practically all of the Jlaplder lights who made baseball history, are back in the fold and ready to finish up what they started last, year. Betides the old timers the furniture makers have a lot of new material to work1 with. Conditions are right for bloomer at Grand Rapids this year. SPRINGFIELD The Reapers, who trailed Dayton In the flag grab last year and who incidently finished first for the second part of the Central schedule, only losing to the Vets in the post season championship series, will finish In the first division to say the least. Joe Dunn's crowd is more than likely looking. Dunn has some thirty regular ball players fighting for the steady pay and no trouble should be had to place a winning Springfield club In the Central this year. EVANSVILLE The Evas, who managed to hang onto a position in tWfc first division of the Central last year, should do that pood thiB year. . Punch Knoll expects them to do better. The Evas stacked against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a recent exhibition game acquitted themselves In a manner forecasting form later In the season. Evans vjlle will be represented by a more or less new, team but new blood sometimes helps. RICHMOND As heirs of the Terre Haute club, Richmond will try to do better than the Gilbert following which finished fifth in league standing last year. Bade Myers is confronted with the proposition of making an entire new team but at the same time feels that he has the material to throw together a club that will at least land In the first division. ' SOUTH BEND With Muskegon, the Benders divided rero honors in the C. L. last season, but Owner Ed Smith,' of South Bend, has different potions this year. Smith is sparing no shekels !n his effort to produce a team that will Trove the stigma of last year's Bender performance and is reaching out for the best material obtainable In Class B circles. The Benders are ready to go now, but feel, May 3 wi'l see them In a position to reverse last year's record. FORT WAYNE Like Richmond. Fort Wayne Is a new dub in the Central this year.

NOTICES Edward Wise, who has been owner and manager of the Gem Restaurant for several years has sold, out to Mr. Moberly and Mr. Childers. The new management promises to serve the same high class food and to give the best. service as has been in the past and extend a hearty welcome to all their old customers, friends and the Public in general. v The Gem Restaurant 328 MAIN STREET

FATHER

VE ARE The BilUkens were In before but dropped out last year for a rest. Up against the same trouble that 13 confronting Manager Myers of the Richmond club, Manager Vandagrlft claims be is satisfied that his team, though new,. will more than take care of Fort Wayne interests. Fort Wayne is having some 'rouble in landing a park inasmuch as the old Central stamping ground is at present half under water. Fort Wayne will however be ready at the opening, i3 the word. MUSKEGON ' Jimmy Hamilton is given the con tract to make a first class club out of the dregs of Central last year. The Reds, under the leadership of hard working Hamilton, are displaying early season form at their training camp down along the muddy short of the Ohio near Cincinnati. Hamilton's hopes for 'a winning team rest with the large consignment of new blood which Manager James has to work with this spring.

There was scarcely a man in Manager Myers squad of team candidates who did not limp through a wearisome practice period on the school , playgrounds. South Twenty-second street, this morning. The first two days of training made the players muscles hurt them like ulcerated teeth, but Myers was a stentaskmaster and he drove his hired men through a fairly speedy workout. Pitcher "Red" Hart, purchased, from Muskegon, Outfielder Crawford and Catcher Kredjl joined the. ranks. late yesterday, all of them reporting in first class condition, Myers is expecting the arrival of Outfielder Wilcox and Infielder Evers some time today. , Evers Holds Down SecondEvers is slated to hold down the job at second base, the same job that his NOT MUCH LEFT FOB KID ROLLERS IN COLONIAL GO The Colonials were three games better than the Kid Five in the "Y" alley series last night.
