BALL TEAM HAS ITS FIRST PRACTICE Should Have A Good Club Again This . • Year Manager Omar Haselgrove had the Hurons out for their first practice of. the season on Saturday afternoon. The diamond was tin good condition, but the players need, plenty of tossing the old pill around. Omar had the boys on their toes but did not push them along so there would not be too many sore arms and lame backs. The club has lost Dick Doran who was playing manager last year, also Malcolm McCammon, left fielder. Dick is up north and Mac is in Lon­ don. They have, however, a few new faces to bolster up the club. Jack Cook, Len Nicols, Clare Neirgarth, C. Campbell were all newcomes who were on deck. The ‘first three are in­ fielders and the latter fielder and pit- qher. It is expected that the club will be stronger or at least as strong as last year. In any event, the fans can get ready for plenty of excitement again this year. A Cehtral League team will be op­ erated again this year, the gang here did well last year. Earl Wild and S< Cowan were added to the ball club executive to look after this club’s in­ terest. Young Sill Groves should be ready for Bruce league this year, and with Bridgeford, Peterson and Chalmers, the club should be good In this de* partment.
