Western Canada League Teams Are Tuning For Flag Race Winnipeg Maroons Have Big Squad Working Out at Whitewater, Wis.

milK tuning-up process, the gathering of countless numbers of rookie baseballeis, the wielding of the wicked axe which sends them back to senil-professlonnl circuits from which they emerged, and exceptionally strenuouo training camps selected by Western Canada Baseball league clubs In preparing their squads for the season's play. All teams In the circuit are now 'busily engaged In rounding out the most select aggregations with which to carry the pennant race in the Western Canada circuit. Reports from the training grounds are to the effect that with such large numbers of players to chonne from there will probably Ve several well balanced and high-class hall teams operating In this neck of the woods' this year. Ail the managers are bent on getting the very best talent to represent their club, and with this end In view no pains are being taken to get the oest possible material. The Winnipeg Maroons, in charge of George Brantlgan and Charlis Moll, are holding forth at Whitewater.

where the Winnipeg moguls have collected a likely looking bunch of tnateriu.1 from which to chooKO a team. Adverse weather conditions have hindered the training activities of the 'Pegs, but they are getting down to hard work now and ibeforo time comes to "play ball," May 4, the Maroons should be In pretty fair shape to start off the season. President Bob Plerson. of the Western Canada league, has been working overtime getting things In shape for the opening, and the energetic president Is very optimistic over the chances of another successful Reason. The Edmonton Eskimos have toeen training at Crockett.

Saskatoon Quakers are at Belolt. Calgary Broncos are putting the finishing touches on at Lincoln Park, Alameda; Moose Jaw Millers are at Pendleton. Oregon, and Hegina Senators are tuning up at tho Coast. Here is something about.the teams: Winnipeg Maroona Manager Braudlgan. His home Is in Appleton, Wla.

Pitchers: Harry Benton, laf year with Winnipeg, and lives in Davenport, Iowa; Tony Kaufman, last year with Winnipeg, and home la In Chicago, 11L; Hd. Lane, from Crosby, Minnesota, was In the Northern league In 1916; T. Flnley, secured from the Milwaukee ball clut, his home Is in Pennsylvania; Jim Trep-tln, semi-pro experience, left-handed pitcher, and ills home Is In Chicago; Frank Coneley, Wisconsin-Illinois league experience, comes from Chicago; Bruno Bdzyic. semi-pro experience around Chicago, and lives in Chicago; W. Kuns, semi-pro experience around Chicago.

Catchers: W. Ihrlg, Three Eye league, comes from Davenport, Iowa, recommended by Harry Benton; Bat Nelson, very promising catcher, big fellow, also recommended by Hairy Benton: was sought by several leagues; Milligen. played In Michigan league with Braudigan In 1920. iufleluerv: J. Muller, secured from JOHN EASTON JIM WILKIE PUT BAN ON ALBERTA BASEBALL PLAYERS 0ALUAKV, April 23 Aa a result of the probe by thu Albena hranch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada Into charges of infringement of tho amaUur rules by mlous athletes in the i province during the baseball eeason of 1920, ir.

F. 'MucDonald, C.M.G., D.S.O., president of the Alberta branch of the Amateur Athletic of Canada, announced Friday that the following players have been suspended: Thomas Vaughan, Logan Blades, Con John Planer. Howard Glover, Murray Veno, Malstell, Downie and Ph-lan. In tho case of Frank Drayton, no decision has been arrived at for tho reason that existiiir evidence is very conflicting, rtiereforo addltonal Investigation is being made Into charges against this player. While no definite action has been taken in regard to the players specified above, It is predicted that several others will be required to completely satisfy the registration committee of the Alberta branch before cards will be Issued for 19-1 the Milwaukee club; Janda, secured from the Brooklyn club; J.

Anderson, from St. Paul, has had considerable experience semi pro, looks like a very good man. The following lnfieldem. Tuylor, Gilbert, Cartoon, look very promising, so much so trsit It is hard to choose which to Keep. The outfield seems to be settled on, In O'Neill, Millllo and Pratt.

The tlrrt base problem will he between Larry Coble and Scuerbarth. Regina Senators The moguls of the Regina baseball club Friday made an announcement of great importance to the followers of thu gume In this city which will come as real good news for the "through thick and thin" supporters of the game here. The news was that Lafayette Henion, Locker and Doc Harsfadt had Joined up with the squad and had already placed their names on the dotted line of the official blue sheet of the club, ticlng them up for the season. Henion, who 1 a fast, clever heaver, not quite ripe enough for the majors, Is still on the Brooklyn string and expect to go great guns this year both In the pitching line and also hitting, for it will be remembered tlxtt last yetr he did some damage at times when with the WinnLpegs and the Moose Jaw Millers. Locker, a big strapping fellow with bone and muscle, and a large quantity of baseball grey matter, has excited the cupidity of the scouts on the Coast by his performance In the gardens and his little willow stick.

Last year he figured in "classy" company, chalking up a .340 average for the season against thq big pitchers of the coast league while playing with Portland. Doc Harstadt will be an acquisition worth while, according to Speas. who is also keeping a quiet lip these days on ilia juggling for a nmundhman of the port side variety. Bill won't say a word about this man, not een give hts came, but merely says If he gels him, and the ropes are being closed more tightly every day, he will burn up this old league. Another pleoe of "dope" the moguls spilled Friday was the signing of a new toattery, Orasslek and Snowball, performers de luxe, big time celebrities, who will officiate at Exhibition park May 9.

Their names have already been placed on the honest to goodness contract of the club, and rCtntlnurd 2 fj.s DAVE ROY 1 J. REYNOLDS BYWATER DEFENDS BILLIARD GUP Bywater decisively defeated II. Hutchinson, in a Klnsey t-up mutch Friday night at the D00 to 2u4. and thus prevented the return of the trophy to the man from whom he won It several weeks ago. Thu winner w-aa In fine form, getting uti average of 9.43 to Hutchinson's 4.S.

Hvwater's breaks were 8. 87, 83 and while the challenger's best was 3R. The Manitoba Amateur Billiard association snooker league, drawing to a close, saw four matches Friday night, with the following results: Nomads, J. Wilson and barons, 191; Regents. Slaughter and A.

Wilson, 118; Mohawks, Barker an.l Hebert. MS; Lanarks, Marr and Plumb, Mohawks. 128; Heavers, Newton and Hutchinson, 110. Thistles. Preston and Caron, 1D4; Beavers, 5.

NO CHANGES IN SOCCER RACES Old Country Footbaii Leaders Maintain Positions; Second Division Race is Close i 4i'huugh the miners' h.ch Lax been In irce In Knghinil for "oinu time pof has had a rather (lis- heuru-iniig etfeci among various! spurt lixturee eausing I nirnts i.i;d CHn. elh.ttonH, it lias fail- ed to dampen the ardor of the foot- liull enthusiasts, who continue to 1 take as much Interest in the league soccer gumes as though there was no strike at all. The regular complement of leaguo fixtures was carried out last week in all threu divisions of the English league, while several mid-week games also took place. Low scoring featured the contests, In Which a great many tie gumus resulted. In compiling the statisUcs we find that no change from that of the previous week has resulted, that la, in the leaders.

One or two of the teams facing relegation, however, managed to creep a point or two points in the direction that, if they continue to win, will save them from dropping to a lower division. Seven points still separate Burnley and Liverpool at the head of the first division. Bolton Wanderers, bv virtue of a loss, are Back in third place again. Oldham Athletic, Derby Cpunty and Bradford are facing the problem of dropping into the second division. Bradford Is almost certain of a berth.

The other two teams are fighting It out with two points between them. Cardiff City la Safe Cardiff City Increased Its lead to a full game over Birmingham in the second division. Theau two teama are the most likely contenders for the two places that will be open In tho first division. At the other end of the sheet Coventry City and Stockport County look very much as if they will be occupying places in the third division of the league next year. Notts Forest is the third team from the cellar, with a three-polnt margin over Coventry and four over Stockport.

Although Crystal Palace la almost certain of being one of the teams to advance from the third circuit, there Is an interesting race on between Southampton and Swindon Town to share In the advancing honors. Southampton's loss gave Swindon a gno chance of getting up on xven terms, but tho latter team recorded a draw, which leaves a point between them. The defeat of Rangers by Partlck Thistle In the final for the Hoottlsh Cup last week was the big feature of tho play in Scotland. Rangers were picked to win both the Cup and the league. They are still very much in the lead in the league race, being seven points ahead of their nearest rivals, Celtics.
