organized team. Among the men Man
ager Clymer expects to do good work is
Pitcher Malarkey, formerly of the Bos-
ton Nationals.
In Frisbie, Toledo's new outfelder,
the Mud Hens are said to have one of
the best sticl1ers in the association.
Frfsbie has been showing in wonderful
form already this season.
Tebeau has returned to Louisville
from trip to Denver to look after
his team in the Western. On his return
he looked in on his Kansas City team.
# he finds he can spare any of his
Louisville men. they will probably go
to Kansas City or Denver. There's
nothing like owning your own farms.
Joe Cantillon, one Of the Rip Van
Wrinkles of the game, has been out in
a uniform with his Brewer aggrega-
ton. Joe is just about ready for con-
tinual bench duty. .
indianapolis ought to get some good
work out of Tate Crowley, the pitcher
who changed his name and played with
Georgetown this spring until his iden-
t1ty became known.
%
After holding out for some time,
king" Elmer Smith has at last signed
a Kansas City contract. Smith is a
trif1e old, but his ability to hit out
four-baggers will strengthen the Blues
and Gear should be glad he is back.
o
Milwaukee expects great things from
the recruits Cantillon signed down in
TeXas-PenneH, Bateman and Mckay
They are making good for the Brewers.
o
Dale Gear seems to think he has an
other Rusie in Hite, the young pitcher
Blues. He has lots Of speed, but lacks
the control.
Amos RuSie, at one time the greatest
twirler in the country, is now has
been for good. He is piling lumber
over in Indiana at $3.50 per day.
Kid Lewee, the little white haired
shortstop who played with Kansas City
last year, has not yet signed a con-
tract this season. He is holding out for
more money, and if it Is not forthcom-
ing, Lewee says he will turn his atten-
ton to boxing. He is now training at
the latter game with Charley Neary
the Milwaukee fighter.
OF course there is no Syndicate
UdoGDd1I III Tie American ASSOCIATION,
but what would be the result If the
Colonies stood to beat st. Paul or some
other team out for the pennant by win
ming the last series with Kansas City.
Can Mr.. Tebeau, who owns both the
Colonels and the Blues tell us some
thing about 1t?
Ferguson has not yet signed a ST.
Paul contract, but he is busy training
q NnT0h iT1c4 N No
Ferguson says it must be more money
or he will stay out Of the game.
Things are now looking much bright
er down at Toledo. Herman Long feels
encouraged and says the Mud Hens
Will fool some Of the faint-hearted
ones yet.
Christy Matthewson is having trou-
bic with his arm, and may not be able
to pitch until the season Is well ad-
vanced.
1t will be surprising if Watkins does
not discover some counteFfeits among
the fifteen alleged pitchers he is trying
out.
The fans down at Columbus, who
have had their eyes on the Senators
during the past few days, are wonder
ing where the hitting strength of the
team is to come from.
o.
Germany Schaefer is making
great hit over in Milwaukee. With the
former Saint at the head of the Brew
ers, the fans have much confidence in
the aggregation. and are modestly
claiming first division team.
o
Little Miller Higgins continues to
make good with Cincinnati He is hit
ting so we'll that he has been placed at
the head of the batting list, and his
base running is counted upon to
strengthen the Reds.
Nichols. the Texas Lacquer, corraIed
by Gear, is making good at Kansas
City.
