First Workout Is Held by Senators Hitting and Fielding Work Started; One Capable Pitcher Assured Only a few ball players turned out for practice for the Salem Sen ators ball club Sunday but "Fris co" Edwards blamed it all on the earliness of the season, Blossom day and the-fact that most cf the players he is counting on for his team are already working cut six days a week with Willamette. "Frisco" had enough outfield ers on hand for a bit of fielding and hitting practice and expressed himself as satisfied that he has the makings of a good club. Howard Maple, who played pro ball In the Western league last year, will catch for the Senators this season and at least one pitcli er Is already signed and working out. The pitcher Is BUI Bevans, a Hubbard high flash last year, who won several games for tire Senators in the tail end of lajt season. Edwards believes he will have most of the Willamette infield for the Senators. BUI Moye. who caught last year, will probably be shifted to second base, a position with which he is familiar. Wreckers.
