Several Members of the Disbanded Teams Find
Themselves AdrH Without Positions

The many diamond headliners signed
by the disbanded Seattle and Fresno
teams were sent out on their several
ways yesterday afternoon by a
proclamation by the league officials
the Middle West but few were un-
fortunate enough to find themselves
without a home on anybody's baseball
nine.
The Des Moines team of the West
-ern Association procures four good
men by purchase-Outfielders Charley
Doyle and George Mclaughlin. Pitcher
MacGregor and Catcher Dashwood. all
of the Fresno team. It was expect
ed that all these would manage to
find berths lin the Pacific Coast
League, but the magnates' ruled other
wise, so they will have TO go to Iowa
this year or take a seasons vacation
Doyle and Mclaughlin both played
with the Tacoma Tigers when that
aggregation won the pennant two
years ago Both are fast men ana
always figured strong enough for the
company represented on the Pacific
Coast. Doyle was made manager or
the Fresno team at the end OF last
season, and it looked good for him
to land a nice billet this year. Dash
wood and MacGregor are both young
sters Of promise. They played some
nice baseball with Fresno last year.
but for some reason or other all the
magnates overlooked them this time
The Pueblo (Colorado) team of the
Western Association gets Pitcher j.
J. Fitzgerald another former Tacoma
and Fresno star. by purchase. Like
Doyle and Mclaughlin, Fitz played
with the Tigers when they came IN
with the pennant two seasons back

too, but the best he got. was the goby
from the home magnates.
Pitcher Nelson, signed by Seattle;
Outfielder William Dunleavy, the
property of Fresno, and Outhelder
Hoffman of the same team ind them
selves cast out into the cold world
without a single manager biddlng
for their services. They are now
free to sign with any team that needs
their services. Dunleavy helped the
old Oakland team land the flag four
years ago, and later played good ball
for the Milwaukee aggregation. the
others are bushers, who had little
experience last season.
Virgil Garvin, the once mighty pltcher
of the old Chicago White Sox, is up In
the air. If he behaves himself he may
obtain job with one of the teams In
the Coast League There is some sort
-
this shall have been Strengthened out
Garvin will be forced to stick around
and await future developments.
Garvin is at present in Fresno. He
did not play much last year, being
mixed up in several scrapes that
brohght anything but credit upon him.
When he is right Garyin can pitch ball
with any man in America, but ne has
worshiped too long at the shrine or old
-, ID Ia1ro M
self candidate for the Down and Out
Club.
Julie Streib, signed by Seattle sew
erial months ago, is another player who
finds himself tied UP in several knots
with kinky contract 1t seems that
Julie and his bosses have had trouble
over terms and were unable to strike
happy medium when the club dis
banded. Streib then became the prbp-
erty of the league, and rather than
undertake the task of solving the rid
die of the pay sheet, the league mag
mates decided to release Streib. 1t is
very likely that he will land a job with
some high class team before the week
is many days old.
Umpire Derrick blew into town yes
terday afternoon and Immediately hunt
ed UP President Cal Ewing for instruc-
tions. Ewing took the indicator man
aside and told him plainly what the
policy of the league would be this year.
Derrick received instructions to Danish
and fine every man who used vulgar
or profane language on the field. II
the umpires did not do as they were
told, Ewing asserted emphaticaliy, they
would be fined $40 for each offense, and
IL the practice continued they would be
ousted.
AS for the gamblers and bookmakers,
they will not have a peep-in this year.
Ewing said yesterday that any one
caught making a bet on the result of
any game at any park in the league
