Charley Street was around as clipper
as ever. but he has bad looking fore

will be all right to work tomorrow. ard
he says he will also have a new mask.
II was very much attached to the old
mask. as it fit my head like a kid glove, y
said Charley this morning, but 1t had to
wear out. and hereafter when the wise
old heads tell me anything I'll listen to
them. Jack Warner warned me about
that mask a month ago. but l held on to
it until l got mine. Never again for
me-"
Jim Delehanty, who was reported to be
due here this morning, had not reported
to Manager CantillOn up to / o'clock. and
the local manager says he doesn't know
anything about DELI reporting, as he
has received no word from him for over a
week
Manager Cantillon said that he would
probably start Falkenberg this after
noon, if he feels all right, and If not. Tom
Hughes.
The chances are that I'll start Falk
and hold Tom in reserve.
Many of the local base ball enthusiasts
have been wondering why Manager Can

In an effort to get a prospective line

of the circus exhibit, l ran over the
list of available candidates in all of
the clubs of the American and National
Leagues. Not by "a sign or intimation
could | get at his players. IT is the
big secret of the league.
Among other lineups / Thought | saw
looking pretty good to Stallings vas
this: Catchers, Stanage, Krichell and

first base, Sharpe; second base, Mullen /,
shortstop, Ball. of the New York Amer
leans; third base, Perring, Cleveland;

utility. Mailing. Among the pitchers
mentioned in my talk with Stallings
were Manning, of the New York Amer
leans, and Neuer, of the same club, ne
sides those of the six down here who
make good.
The best 1 get from Stallings of this
lineup was. at looks pretty good to
me That team certainly could go

the big points in question at present.
For the ante-season games Mailing
viii fill in at short and Engle will do a

tise helped things along with the
veteran.
Manager Stallings today received
word from Secretary John Farrell, OF
the National Association that Pitcher
William Carrick is the property of the
Newark Club and it is entitled to his
services. Carrick jumped the Newark
Club last year, and was suspended.
~reinstated him and started q
deal for his trade to indianapolis, but
1t fell through. and when Stallings took
of the club he sold the player
New Haven. Carriek baked at the
deal and waited to be declared a free
agent to sign where he pleased. The
We're submitted to the National
Association, with the decision as above.
Carrick will have to go to New Haven
or not play at all.
