In preparation for the coming baseball season, the Shanghai Amateurs hela their initial workout at the Race Course diamond yesterday. It gave more than two dozens of players and would-be players a chance to limber up before taking part in any games.
It was the original plan of Herby Gallop, team manager, to fix up a seven-inning game tomorrow but as no suitable opponent can be found at present play will not start until next week-end.
The Amateurs this year seem to be little affected by changes in their line-up and it is almost certain that their team will include the majority of last year's men such as Huebner, Adams and Kabbert as the batteries, Fielden, Deegan, J. Ward, Lamneck, Carson, and Krause as infielders, and Lawler, Riley, and W. Ward as outfielders.
