The make-up of the team has not been altogether determined upon, but Louis G. Bachant, "Who caught the home coming games last fall will be here from Kankakee, 111., to catch, Swartzell, of the old Wrens, will probably pitch, unless Bachant brings a pitcher with him. Will Cooley and Harry McLain, two lively infielders from Brookston, will probably be given a try-out, and Nageleissen and McGurrap, from St. Joe, will also probably be in the game, while Estel Myers, of Parr, will also have on a Wren suit Swartzell, Morgan, Elmer Wilcox, Lloyd Parks, Lee Kepner, and any other aspiring youngsters of the . local bunch, will be given a chance on the team. No organization has yet been effected, but if the bunch that are brought together Sunday look like there is the making of a team In them, it is probable that an association will be formed that will put in and maintain a great team.
