SACRAMENTO. Cal., March 2. (Spe
cial.) Twenty-eight baseball players
will go into training in the Senators'
training camp In Marysville-on Monday
afternoon under the direction of 'Patsy
O'Roarke, captain of the Sacramento
baseball club of the Coast League for
1912. Thirteen pitchers, three catchers,
six inflelders, and six outfielders will
make up this aggregation and although
there are no individual stars among the
newcomers In the ranks this year, tha
local fans are counting on O'Rourke to
whip the men into a far stronger com
bination than that which finished the
Coast League season in fourth place
last year.
Training work will be commenced
Monday afternoon when the squad will

Senators still have three men to come

two men are fast, reliable inflelders.

pitcher last year; Herb Byram,

by Sacramento two years ago in a
mining camp in Northern California
and at the close of last season sold to
the Boston Americans; Arellanes, an
other of last year's pitchers who is
expected to show up much stronger this
season: Kitty Knight, an Oakland dis
card picked up in the middle of last
season when Sacramento was in dire

will see five other pitchers in harness.
