Manager Grimes Has
Busy Day.
Baseball practice here started to- '
day when Manager Grimes and h:.
group of recruits from which he wil
organize his Bridgeport Listen
League team, found their way to spa
cious Xewfield Park. TYhile the da
was a trifle windy, the boys were ex
pected to be put through a grilling
workout as it is -the intention of thf
local pilot to get the team in the
finest shape possible for the opening
tussle here later this month.
However, arrangements have been
made by the management for several
exhibition games. For instance, on
next Sunday afternoon the Bridge
porters will swap bats with the Red
Caps, a colored tea-i from Philadel
phia. Manager G: Imes has hopes
of having whipped his team into suf
ficiently good shape by that tims to
get an idea through that contest wh; T
he really has at his command for -first
class local combination.
Chances are that by tomorrow the
roster cf the locals will be complete.
Hank Bracket t and Braun have yet
to sign, but both have written to
friends, it is understood. and said
that they would probably submit thefe
signed contracts before May 1, so it i
is assumed by President Lane that
their contracts are probably on the
way now.
One bitter disappointment,
however, was experienced today
when it was learned authentically
that Manager Grimes visit to
New York to cinch Alex Fergu
son, the popular hurler, got him
nothing, as the Yankees have re
leased that player to the Toledo
Club of the American Associa
tion for a little more seasoning.
