St. Joe Lineup to Be Marked by Many New Faces Reorganized Club, Piloted by Joe Mathe*, Expect* to * Cause Trouble for Other Club*. T. JOSEPH, Mo., April 8. — The new reorganize*! St. Joseph West ern league base ball club la wait ing for the fall of the barrier for the circuit race Tor the pennant. Many new faces ■will be seen in the Saint lineup this season, in fact few of the old men of the 1823 aggregation win be seen in the unliorm when the season opens on the 16th. The team now touring Texas In exhibition games Is made up of almost all new material. Including a new manager whom the pilots of the other clubs of the circuit will find a hard man to cop with for Joe Math**, forme* owner of the Beaumont club of the Texas league, will handle the destines of the St. Joseph team this season. The receiving department has been strengthened, but one of the pros pects has fallen down. Catcher Fisher, the giant receiver, has not com# up to expectations In his hit ting or his fielding. A young man pamed Mlnetree, procured from the Moline club of the Three-I league, has shown better than Fisher in the ex hibition games and will probably be second stringer. The first string man for the Saints this season will be Catcher Brooks, a diminutive re ceiver, who has been the property of the Beaumont club of the Texas league. Brooks has brains and uses them for the game. He will coach the younger men on the team. Infield I sinks Good. The infield looks pretty good this season and Manager Mathes will hold down first base. There is a battle for second and short between four men. but it looks as If Wallle Nufer, former Saint, and Minneapolis Miller will be on second this season. Steven son has ai^ excellent chance to cop short, although Corrigan is battling him closely for the honors. Wallie Gilbert is almost certain to hang on third this season. When It comes to the outfield there will lie few In the M'estern which can come up with the prospective decorations of the Saints for the outer gardens. Miller will probably be the weakest man in the field. Nick tieMaggio, the former Texas leaguer, will be In right field part of tha time and will rest in left the rest of the season. McColl Has Improved. As to pitchers the most likely ones this season are Humphries, Poirier. Bailey, Haid and McColl. The last two named were with the Saint* last season. McColl had a bad arm and didn't go so good. His flinger is bet ter this year, however, and tha red haired hurler expects to go good. Hald. with some good receivers, ex pects to make good this year. Poirier is a St. Joseph product and has his first try at professional ball. Humph ries and Bailey hare shown up good in the exhibition games in which they have participated.
