SIX HURLERS P Rex Ames ol Chicago Ar-rives-Casey's Colts Now Number Twelve - Boys Working Out (By Will G. MacRae.) Hex Ames, another member of Manager Casey's pitching staff, re ported this morning, making six Hurl ers in the training camp, and from the way these hopeful curve-tossers go into action the Portland magnate vill have his work cut out for him vheu he reaches the point of sclect ing those he will keep on his pay roll. Ames did not arrive in time to get into uniform this morning, hut if appearances count for anything this youngster looks to have the goods. Twelve of l tic hopefuls, including Casey, were out to the ball ground bright and early this morning nnd put in two hours of hard work. The weather was simply made to order and under the generous warmili of the sun all of the pitchers limbered up. The workout was a stiff one, considering most of the players were just off the train, and from now on rntil a week has passed there will he a bull tendency in the sore muscle market. Early Yet in Game. It is altogether loo early to get much of it line on the halltossers. Manager Casey will try out, and it will be several dnvs before he will fall upon the members of his train ing crew to get down to playing in side baseball. Looking oxer those in uniform this morning during the pre liminary workout, it is sate to say that Casey will have splendid mate tial from which to pick Ins team. There isn't a dead one among the crew on the contrary. Manager Ca-s-ey has to keep them under wraps. They are gluttons for work, and left to their own devices they would work their heads off. This is true of the pitchers. Pender, Gardner, Oshum, Coleman and McFarland all took a turn in the box, and in spite of the fact that it was only practice, these box artists were making use of the curve and the smoke bull and putting ns much steuui behind their deliv eries as thev would along about Julv. The Infield Work. Swnntou, Mullen and llisley were put through a few infield turns by Casey. Mullen, if things break well tor him, will make Casey a smashing initinl sacker, and Kisley handles himself like a ballplayer who knows his business. Swanton found the in field a new hook, but his work while he was in the outfield was pleasing. Certainly the team could not hope for finer weather or a more splendid ly arranged clubhouse nnd grounds. Right now the accommodations are head nnd shoulders better than those .
