The Senators will practice at 1 o'clock this afternoon at Torrence park. All of the players are expected to report at this time.

Manager Wright has several games booked and is anxious to get started with his men. He has asked the Decatur Three-I league club for a practice game for next Sunday, but as the Three-I league players will not report until the following week. Manager Wright is looking elsewhere for, a game on this date. The Decatur High school will: probably have a tennis team this year, providing enough men turn out for practice, according to the announcement made Saturday by Principal J. If tho men, support the idea, a team will be entered in- the Corn Belt at Bloomlngton and probably at The coach for a possible, team has not yet been decided upon, but the high school has some members of the faculty who are ardent lovers of the game.

C. E. Howell. who has just finished a successful season of coaching the basketball team would be a favorable candidate for the place. He has been prominent in tennis tournaments in Decatur for several -seasons and is considered one of the best players at the A.

a hitting catcher is badly needed nere. Detroit lost many games last season because there were men on bases with pitchers and catchers coming up. Cov-aleskie, Dauss and Dubus proved good hitters, but there were many days when some other pitcher was used -which doubled the batting deficiency at the rear of the line, for none of the catchers were able to deliver and the contest blew the other -way. Peters and Yelle have both shown themselves to be good receivers. They handle" pitchers nicely and throw well, especially Peters, who to date looks like the pick of the two and one Detroit writer lias gone so far as to name him as the first string catcher for this year, but that is a bit premature.

Should either of these catchers develop batting strength, another problem will be off the books. Jennings made the first cut in his squad a few days ago when he released Vernon Isaacs, third sacker, secured from the Dubuque club last fall. Isaacs returned to his home town and will probably be seen with Dubuque again this year. Isaacs weighed but 137 pounds. An attack of malaria fever last year robbed him of much weight "and he was too weak to show his best in Gulf-port.

Frank Gotch gave Isaacs his start. The world's champion toe breaker managed a team representing Humboldt. Gotch's home town, and Isaacs was! his third baseman. The boy did good work and Dubuque grabbed him. From there he came to Detroit.

Mt. Pulaski. Parjanl Signs With Blues. Frank Liston, manager of the Blues baseball team has secured the services of Parjani. the former centerfielder of the Monarchs to cover the centerfield berth for the Blues this corning season.

Parjani signed a contract Saturday. Manager Liston gave out the uniforms to the players Saturday night. The tirst practice will be held this morning and if the weather is favorable another practice will be held in the afternoon. Manager Liston has arranged a strong schedule and in fact it Is the best schedule ever arranged for a semi-pro team traveling out of Decatur. The lineup for the Blues this coming season follows: Wilbur Turpin, catcher.

Elmer Young, second base. Thompson, utility. Coover, left field. Herbrig, right field. Parpani.

centerfield. W. Bebrns, first base. Shulke, pitcher. Kitchen, shortstop.

H. Behrns, third base. Frank Liston, manager. Jack Mintun, utility. With the approach of Easter and the warmer weather of spring comes the necessity of new clothes buying your dollars must go a long way.
