D., April 24.—()— Jamestown, a new entry in the Nor- thern baseball league, will be in the thick of the fight for championship honors from the very start of the season May 6, Manager Johnny An- derson said Friday. The franchise was transferred to this city from Grand Forks. Anderson said he has been able to secure capable men to fill in the weak spots of his team last season, in the catching, pitching, first base and outfield departments. Anderson, one of the heavy cannon- aders of the Northern League since its inception, again will play an out- field post this year. Other veterans expected to be retained on the club roster are Ed Krause, third base; Olson, short stop, and Kozy, out- fielder. Signs Promising Recruits The Jamestown manager said ‘he spent two weeks at the Springfield, Mo., baseball camp, where he signed up several promising recruits, Among these are Dominic Castro, catcher from Los Angeles, Calif.; Pete Medak, first baseman from San Pedro, Calif. Ralph Waldo, pitcher from Morley, Mich., and Calvin Lahman, an out: fielder with three years experience in the Three Eye league. In addition, Anderson sald he ex- pects to get some pitchers and other players from the Cedar Rapids club of the Western League. “Due to the fact that Winnipeg and Fargo-Moorhead have disposed of their star players,” Anderson said, look for an open race this year. “No doubt,” he continued, “addi- tion of Jamestown and Wausau to the Northern League has made it the strongest since its organization.” Anderson in his 15 years in organ- ized baseball, has made an enviable batting average of .345. Started in Three-Eye Breaking in with the Rockford club of the Thee Eye League in 1921, he went from there to the Southern League, where he established a home Tun record in 1924, Sold to Louisville of the American Association he played on the pennant winning teams of 1925 and 1926, Anderson moved to Hollywood of the Coast League in 1927 and was sold that year to Indianapolis of the Am- erican Association where he remained through 1928 when he again went to the Southern League where he played ae the Northern League was organ- In his first year of Northern League play, Anderson led the circuit’s hit- ters with an average of .408.
