Show GIMLIN PROPOSES TO GET A FLYING START By JOHN FRANK ("DAD") GIMLIN, Promises arc poor business in connection con-nection with baseball and I am not going to make any for the Ogdon 1014 team. Wc arc going to start out next Tuesday In a fight for thc pennunt. and, oven If we fall In that, they will find us trying all the time for a place In the first division of both scries. The Ogdcn club has 'suffered 'suf-fered in the past two years by getting get-ting away to a bad start and I am going to try to overcome thot disadvantage dis-advantage this season. That was one of tho chief reasons for having tho men report early. Tho exhibition games for tho past three weeks aro going to help. loo. This is my first season in the Union association, excepting what time I put In with the team in the . latter part of last year, but from the way tilings look right now tho baseball base-ball around the circuit this year Is going to bo several degrees faster than ever before. The Ogden team Ib not coating by a good many dollars dol-lars as much ns some of tho others, but wo havo been more fortunate hero in having a bunch of good reserves re-serves to pick from. I bolievo that Ogdcn has better prospecta of sending send-ing men up at. the end of tho soason than any of the other Union league club3. It would be unusual if it did not become necessary to make some cluinges after tho league season is under un-der way. rind I expect that some will bo made in thc Ogden club, but with Jones, Kleberg. Dowllng and Woolums on tho Infield, I am well satisfied with that department. Our outfielders and catchers will hold their own with any of tho other clubs of thc league, but It may be necessary to add strength among the pitchers. WJiat do I think of tho race for 1314?" That's a subject too deep for mo right now, but put down something some-thing for mc about Ogden being up around tho first division when thoy start talking about tho championship champion-ship scries. |
