| Text | The Monett baseball team has been partially organized for the year's work. Part of the last year's line-up will play again this year. "Dutch" Combs had returned from California where he made a good record as pitcher this winter, and will pitch for Monett. Grant Rolleg has consented to catch here another season for which the fans will be well pleased, Mr. Rolleg, having made good here the past two seasons. Leckie will play first base, Lawrence, second base, Guinney short stop, Lukens, third base, Stout, fielder. Other players will be Jay, Long, and Lewis. These boys have played together for several seasons and their team work has given Monett the reputation for the best amateur team in the section. H. W. Fly is president of the Monett, Athletic Company. W. J. Fleming is manager, W. W. Lehnhard, Secretary and Treasure, and Joe Ryan, corresponding Secretary. These gentlemen have been very busy getting the team in shape and putting the affairs of the association in good working order. A prosperous and successful season is predicated by those interested. |
