- GOD ball players are not lying
around loose these days, it
seems. Even real money can't
always buy them. Manager George 4.
Stallings strutted around the lobby of
the Breslin, in New York, yesterday,
where most of the big league magnates
were gathered. jingling the change in
his pockets and offering to buy any
Wagners, Lajoies, Matthewsons or
Cobbs in sight, but it's like pulling
teeth, trying to separate the big guns
from some of their players.
| Everybody is willing to buy" said
the Newark manager after the days
session, "but mighty few are willing to
sell players such as I'm after
Stallings had his lines out for four
star players from the realms of the
major ranks, but was unable to put any
of the deals through yesterday. In one
instance, where he thought he would
succeed he was turned own fiat. The
other three cases are still possibilities.
The National League will wind up it's
business affairs today. By tonight
most of the magnates will depart from
New York. Consequently, if Stallings
is to land any of the men he has his
eye on before the big league teams
migrate to the South he will have to
get busy today. However. George T. is
a manager of resources. He has never
been known to have a poor team in the
Eastern League and he'll be there with
a club when Mr., Umpire cries, "Play
ball.
Several major league managers dis
posed of their surplus players yester-
day, but they were not of the calibre
that Stallings liked. The Newark nan
ager may play one or two of his trump
cards today. If not, he may be counted
upon to dig up some of the men he is
after, even if it takes until April. when
the big league teams return from their
Southern trips.
The National Commission wound UP
its session yesterday at New York.
The only case before the tribunal
affecting an Eastern League club was
that of Pitcher Frock. who applied for
an outright release. The player charged
that his chances for advancement have
been repeatedly blocked by the action
of various hub in towering him up"
In 1906 he was drafted by Jersey City
and turned back to Worcester. Last
year he was purchased by the Boston
Americans, only to be sent back to the
New England League club. The com
mission decided to make a thorough in
vestigation. If the Jersey City club is
found guilty of the offense a penalty
of $3.50 viii be imposed upon it. In the
case of the Boston club the penalty
would be 81. 900.
Another minor league case heard was
that of Pitcher w. FL. Chappelle. The
player, whose name appears on the in
eligible list for contract jumping, wa
transferred by Johnstown to Memphis.

yesterday signed his contract, and
agreed to go South with the team.
Finally Manager Connie Mack had
his men rounded up and the following
players filed into their special car:
Catchers, Screck and Powers; pitchers,
Bender, Vickers. Plank and Coombs;
first baseman, Davis; second baseman,
Murphy; o~utfielders, Hartsel, Oldring
and Seybold. The new players on hand
were Schlirzer, Cove, Carter, Mora and
Barnicle. At Cincinnati the team will
pick up Third Baseman Jimmy Collins,
and Petersen and McDonough, two
more recruits. The party will be COM
pleted at New Orleans by the addition
of Pitcher Dygert, Shortstop Nichols
and the following new players: Smith,
Bills, Hartman, Maxwell, Ford, Fam
lock, Durham and Krause The other
members of the party were Lord, an
outfielder, and BARLEY. a pitcher, both
former members of the team, who have
been released to the New Orleans team.

Newark, n. j., Feb. Is, 1908.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-As l am a constant reader
of. your worthy paper, THE STAR, it
informed me that you are looking fer
a nickname for the Newark baseball
team. 1 have a name that 1 think very
appropriate, and would take with the
public, if our new manager, Mr.. Stall
ings, would christen the team the
Tigers" For the public is looking
for a snappy team, and this natne
would put ginger in the team, which
we are all looking for. The "Pilots'
is another good name, showing the rest
of the teams to the front. Indians is
another good name. Hoping one OF
these names will meet with your APP
prevail, 1 remain, yours truly,

Stallings Likes Pardee's Pitching.

Taking up the players named, stanings had the following, in effect to say
about them:
Pardee is regarded by the Newark manager IS n of the most capable
pitchers in the Eastern League. Al is says Stalings, a hard and earnest
worker, always willing. and invariably trying to do his best The local leader
declares that Pardeo proved to be the most puzzing twiner that the Buff
fao players evcr batted against.
Engie is regarded by stalfngs as a decidedly capable player. The
manager OF the Tigers avs tina he s sur that Engle cal perform well
either in the fnfeld or he outfeh, and that he will prove 20 be a hard hit
ter He is o sue just where he will place Enge. He believes, however
that the after needs some coaching. This, Starngs figures. should be in
The shape of a word or W to the effect that he should regard bal-playtng
more seriously than he has and should put more life into his work.
Oscar Stanage is believed % be an ideal backstop. He Is a big "a and
clever in performing all the duties that a catcher is called upon to attend
to- stalhngs believes, too, that he is a natural hitter and will be able TO
maintain q much better average this year than he did in 1907.
Krchen is, according to the way Sta1ings regards him, a decidedly prom
iing youngster 1t might be said in passing that about ninety-nine out of
every hundred local fans think, too that krchel is a conner.
As to kid" Mailing there may be some surprise expressed that Stall
ngs has decided to keep him. The Newark manager, however says that he
he may be placed at second base or; if some plans that Stalings has in mind
&C through, the kid" may occupy the bench and fill the role of a utility man.
