Covered for the Nashville by unquestionably the best outfielder that ever played in the South-en) League the brilliant and wonderful Joe Diestel Be came here in the spring of '85 and through the entire season his work was received abroad even mare than at home with the greatest enthusiasm and applause Some of his brilliant running catches were absolutely sensational and everywhere he went be became the hero of the team Be was to the Southern League what little Hugh Nicol is to the American Association His average in center field was much higher than that of any other center fielder in the South His work at the bat was not heavy but his other qualifications more than made up this single point of weakness He promises to do better with the willow and if so wIll be the most valuable man to be secured anywhere Under the new rules It is especially necessary to have a strong outfield Diestel is now at Fortress Monte Virginia HUNTINGTON CLOTHIER No 160 Church 1 tto 1 11 1 4 itt tik i

yesterday signed his name to a Nashville contract Mannion is well-known as a local amateur player and if his work in the future improves as rapidly during the past 118913014 great things may be expected of him Of comae it is not to be supposed that a player of so little ex-parlance am be classed with the leading players of the country but judging from his work with last season's Columbia Reds Mr Mannion has every gnitlity necessary for Ms development into a find class professional player Mr Mansion is a native of this city and is 23 years Tim Aatioucmi is pleased to eee the Nashville Club giving a chance to local Went and wishes that there were more young Nashvillians well enough up in the points of the game to qualify them for admission into the ranks of the Nmhvilles of 1887 Mannion's favorite position Is behind the bat but he also plays either in the infield or outfield Re kd the Reds in batting last Ion and says he has not yet forgotten how to handle the willow
