THE PEELERS / ARE GOING | TO PLAY BASEBALL. Some of Their "Hot Air"--The Lacrosse Team's Prospects-- Irishmen and Victorias Pre- paring to Meet on the 24th. The warm weather of the past few days has caused the city constables to talk baseball. They will get into their batting clothes just as soon as the weather is favorable and a game will pe arranged when the sports are 'off duty. 'It was rumored yesterday that members of the Standard staff Wels out | looking for a game apt. "Sam" Arniel is now trying ba sign a contract for the first game of the season with the penal pushers and typesetters, for it is understood (that it will require 'men from both stafis to. make up a team. "Sam" says he is sure his bliuecoats can *'eat em alive." "Xijck"' 'Timmerman, the | Veteran policeman, "will be given , a {place on the team this year, and will be quite an addition, especially as a coacher. "Nick! could y some when in Holland and with the many pointers: he has picked up since he came to {Canada he should be able to set the pace all right.. Another good man will be "Sam" Taylor, who is one of the Junior members of the fcece.

It would be unfair to | pass by "Curly" Davis without men- tioning his ability. His grand stand work. is in the field, and fans who have watched lim in the game sav that he is a regular Ty Cobh. Con- stables McAdoo and Driscoll can be relied upon to send the "'twisters' over the, plate every time, and "Tom" Mullinger behind the bat is a regular Stonewall Jackson. Nothing ever gets past 'Tom' either in baseball or official duties. "Jimmy" Bate- son's stronghold is at short stop. Constable Naylon can always be re- Fed upon to do his share, and al- though "Harry" Filson, who went to Buffalo recently, will he much misserl from the team, in Constable. Arm- strong, the mew man, it is "believed the club will have a man 'who will be able to hold down. the fir! bag in fine shape. Constable Craig will also' he out this season, and this is good news. Taking everything into con- sideration the team is in A No. 1 condition and with a few practice games the men will be able to line up when the umpire says "play ball." Lacrosse Prospects. It about time that the weather man forgot all about rain. There has heen enough now, and a few days of fine weather would be greatly appre- ciated by baseball and lacrosse play- ers, A number were out in the cricket . field on Thursday evening, the lacross® team using the upper end of the field and the baseball bunch the other side, The lacrosse players are turning out, very well in- deed and are Showing | up fine, team should: be in good dition for its game on Victoria Dag.

The managers of both teams have signed 'many good players and a battle roy- «l can be expected on the holiday.
