BUFFALOES, the kind that wear uniforms of the Omaha Western league baseball club, 1 will start checking in at one of the Corsicana _ (Tex.) hotels early next month, preparatory to start the spring training grind. Like all ball clubs, the hurling staff, which numbers 10 chuckers, have been in structed by Manager Ed Nonetchy to report early in March. Once upon the training grounds, the hurlers will start ironing the kinks out of their “soup bones’’ by playing golf and the like. The new boss of the Omaha Buffaloes is a great believer in the game of golf as a topic for baseball pitchers. Therefore, Manager Konetcby has Instructed all the hurlers to g<-t in a few extra swats at a golf ball liefore the main contingent of Buffaloes start hopping OtTKCH off a rattler at Corsicana March 10. Twenty-Two Sign Contract*. Tv enty-two baseball player* will try for berths on the team. Of this ■ number 10 are down on the club rosier as pitchers, while four are catchers. Only six members of last year's team, Frank Okrie, pitcher; Fred Wilder, '-atcher; "Pug" Oriffin and "Jack Rabbit" Apperson, outfielders, and Jtmmy Wilcox, infleldcr, will return to the fold. Heinie Manush, outfielder who hit' the hall fur a merry ol’ clip last sea son. will try out witft the Detroit Tigers this season, while George Grantham, third baseman, will wear Chicago Cub togs. “Bill” Klllefer speaks will of Grantham and believes the former Buffalo will turn out to be one of the best third basemen in the older circuit within the next two seasons. Daniel Tipple, one of the leading pitchers in the Western league last season and the Vrest hurler on the Omaha club, goes to Minneapolis in a dent that brings "Tony” Defate, Joe Bonowitz and Ted Odenwaki. the lat ter a thucker, to the Buffaloes. Wilcox at Second. "Whitey" Gisiason, second base, man last season, has been sold to the Wichita Falls club in the Southern league. Gisiason performed fairly well at second last season, but Owner llurcli believes lie can develop Jimmy Wilcox, shortstop last season, into a better second baseman than Gisiason. Joe Iiailey, "Hefty" Hyman, "Bill*' Fincher, Frank tjtokcs, Clarence L»ar rough and "Bill" CofTIndaffer, pitch ers with the club In 1922. have been released to varioua clubs and will not return in 1923. Prospects for a strong club this coming season look mighty bright on lajier. The Buffaloes s'cni to have the fielding and hitting strength, judging from the fielding at.d battin ; averages of the candidates alreadv signed to wield the bat for Owner Burch. The pitching staff isn't anything to boast abou*, but at that it's about euual to any lined up in the Western league thus fir. < ullop Signs.
