Oldtimers in new roles held 'the spotlight during most of the prac- | tice, though there was several new men on deck who flashed real base- | ball talent. | Joe Snow, last year's first base- man for the Legion, last night showed well as a chucker while | ‘Red” Gray flashed as the finest receiver yet uncovered this season, oromising enough battery to keep the opposing teams’ hits few in the tussles to come. A light fielding and hitting prac- tice made up last evening's session and brought to light several clever ball handlers in the infield and several fine clouters. This evening the Moose will take the field for their second practice and Manager Art McKinnon prom- ises to have enough baseballs on hand to last all evening no matter how far his sluggers paste them. — e .
