Show uu THEY WANT THE OGDEN CATCHER Manager J. J. McCloskey has been puzzled for seoral days on account of the non-appearance of Walter Alexander, tho fast catcher of last season's Sioux Indian and Ogdcui state league teams. Tho problem was explained in a small way today when "Mnc" received a telegram from Doc Roberts, manager of the Houston club of the Texas league, offering several players in e.xchange for Alexander who had been training in Houston this spring A telegram was immediately tent by McCloskey to Roberts, warning him to keep his hands off Alexander, and ordering the laltor to mako tracks in tho direction of Ogdon at once. It is qulto evident that Alexander's work 'his spring has boon a surprise to the southern baseball managers, and McCloskey is cxpoctlng groat things of him this season. Jnck Murray, an outfielder who played with tho Boise team last year, reached Ogden todav and roported for practice. All of Mac's men, but three, arc in tho city now. |
