Barron, the new manager for the Detroit
club, is keeping up his old habit of taking
players to whom he has no right Last
season he had more cases before the ma
uOnal board than any manager and lost
every case. Now he has taken Carr from
the reserve list Of the Jersey City club
Carr has no show of making good on first

Sport McAllister of the Detroit base
ball team is a man of many accomplish
ments. In addition to being an all-around
base ball player. the members of the team
last fall discovered that Sport was de-
cidedly clever in handling the needle Many
times his comrade called upon him for
duty in fixing up a pair of spangles which
had been torn in the heat of battle. Macs
work does not stop at plain sewing only,
for he has in his rooms many nice pieces Of
embroidery made during leisure moments
while the club has been on the road The
veteran never believes in being idle. Nc
Allister is also good carpenter and he
put up some work at the ball park last fall.
He learned this branch while working as a
stage hand in Texas theater one winter.
No doubt the Detroit man is far ahead of
90 per cent of ball tossers in the handy line.
rolling seem to be the only side lines that
most of the men are good at.-DetroH News.
