Hummel Out of (lame
B,v "PT' KI.OXE
Patsy Donovan with his trusty
made an early start this morn-
Ins for the grounds of the Ilarrisburg
Academy, whs re, despite a sharp cut
ting wind they continued to get 'in
form for their first game of the train
ing season to be played with Susque
hanna University on the Island
grounds to-morrow.
All members of the herd took pre
caution in this morning's practice to
keep their arms covered by heavy
clothing, for out on the Academy
grounds a cold westerly wind swept
the diamond giving no quarter to the
ball tossers.
Instead of starting this morning's
practice by getting right down to
throwing the ball and batting, all the
hoys took a turn around the track to
warm up.
No Change In Workout
The work of the boys remains un
changed although every member of
the team with the exception of sunny
Patsy is complaining about the
weather.
Manager Donovan is always cheer
ful as was evidenced by a remark he
made yesterday when asked where he
would practice Monday: "Well, if it's
clear we'll go out to the Academy and
if it rains or snows the boys will work
out in the gyui. There's plenty of
time, and this bunch don't really need
very much hard training for they are
all in good shape right now."
.lack Huminers leg is still troubling
him. and from present indications he
will be out of the game for a few
days.
The line-up for to-morrow's game
will probably be as follows:
Kopp. center field: Channel), right
field: Carlstrom. first base: McDonald,
third base: O'Neill, second base:
Holmes, left field: l.onergan, short
stop: Onslow, catcher; Cooper,
pitcher.
