chosen to take command in camp
makes it probable that he will be APP
pointed captain of the team this sea-
son, though Stallings has not yet given
his yea" as to that. Stanage will not
go South. He hunks in California be-
tween seasons, and has ample oppor-
tunity to get in trim in the Gloden
State.
Catcher Krichell was in town yes
terday, and introduced himself to the
new boss. Stallings likes his appear
ance, and believes he will get good
work out of the New York boy this
season.
Can you ride a horse9' asked the
manager.
mo; 1 am not b~ow-legged enoueh
for that put in Krichell.
We'll, o boys can get plenty ~
such sport down on the farm s4id
Stallings. i've got all sorts of rum
ners, saddle horses, mules and donkeys
down there. The Buffalo players sure
had a picnic in that line there in 1906.
You can ride horseback for two
days without getting off my land.
Many times the boys, when conditions
prevented practise, went on a hunt
with a set of hounds and enjoyed
themselves. You'll have to diet on
farm meals-ham and eggs, etc.-un-
less you can catch hold of a stray
chicken, but you won't have to worry
as to food. There's enough down
there to feed an army.
Niger Team Never Beaten.
I've got a colored team down there,
too, that's never been beaten. You ST..
there are about 600 darkeys down on
the plantation and they ought to b
able to pick out a nine from that crowd
The players will have a good ball fed
for practise york. It's laid out inside
a half-mile track that Pm building near
my home"
This line of talk tickled Krichell. who
has never been South. In fact, all the
boys look to a good time down there, as
well as the proper sort of practise. The
weather is ideal in Georgia now. Coats
and vests are unnecessary articles.
While the Newark team will undergo
many changes, a similar process is be-
ing followed by most of the other East
ern League clubs. Even the Toronto
team, which led from start to finish
last year, and won the pennant easily,
has received a general shaking-up.
The Canucks will have a brand newout-
field, Gettman in left, formerly with
Buffalo; Mertes. the ex-Giant, in centre,
and Grimshaw, last season with the
Boston Americans, in right.
Jimmy Cockman, who had been with
Newark for -four years. will be sta
toned at third base, s~upplanting Phyle.
and Manager Mike Kelly will play first
base, h position formerly occupied by
Flynn. Prick will probably guard
short field and Schlahy second base.
The Canucks' two catchers. Carrigan
and Hurley, also, will be among the
missing, the new backstops being
Brown. of the Boston Americans, and
Sullivan and Bailey.
VIII Re Left Intact.
Buffalo and Jersey City are excep-
tions from the rule. They will be left
practically intact. Pitcher Hesterfer,
formerly Of Newark and Toronto, and
Outhelder Keister, of Jersey City, are
the two new additions to the Bisonic
herd. Manager Smith may also get
First Baseman Evans, who is now
South with the New York Nationals.
In hat event big Mcconnell would be
used as a pitcher.
NhS OAiS hNN llltu dilllDlllCGu lVl
Jersey City are Infelders Rockenfeld
and Gastmeyer, who are slated for a
try-out, and Out1elder De Croft. Pitch
ers Mason and Moore, who were turned
over to the Skeeters late last season,
will again be with the team.
Montreal's makeup is still a mys-
terry. One Of the big changes in the
Royals lineup will be the addition of
Left Fielder Jimmy Jones, the old New
ark favorite. Manager Casey has his
lines out for First Baseman Tom Jones
and Shortstop Joe Yeager, of the st.
Louis Americans, but they are only
faint possibilities.
Providence has a crew of new men to
try out. including Pitchers Salye. Cowan
and Slime. Infielders Arndt, Logan and
Schwartz and Outfielder Reichman n
Burke. How many Of them will be
regulars when the gong sounds the
opening of the championship season
will be determined by their work dur
ing the spring training campaign.
Baltimore has been strengthened by
the addition Of two seasoned players,
Outfielder Chadbourne, last year with
Providence, and Third Baseman Knight,
who was the sensation on the Pliiladel-
phia American League team two years
ago. The first base position has not vet
been filled. Manager Dunn will scarcely
fall back upon Hunter.
Manager -Buckenberger has done con-
siderable patching up at Rochester. He
will have two former major leaguers In
the outfield, Batch. Of Brooklyn. and
Anderson, of P%ittsburg. Flanagan will
be the third man of the trio. The
Broncos will have Hurley, last season
with Toronto, behind the bat; Holly. OF
the st. Louis Nationals, at short, and
Duggleby. formerly Of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, in the box.
