the granite industry. involving 10000

NO TIME TO TRY
OUT YOUNGONES
President DOvey, Of the BOS-
ton Nationals, Expresses
Himself

President Dovey, of the Boston Ma
tional club is quoted as saying that he
has no notion of wasting much money on
minor league players and that he has
no use for college players. On his first
proposition he was quoted as follows:
Il haven't an option or even a hot tip
on any bush league wonders and I'm
not accommodating a sinking fund for the
benefit of the needy bush leaguers later
In the season, either. OF course, I will
try to improve my team for next season,
but II will not be by lining up a string
or rockies so long that I'll have to num-
ber them when I want 'em. Last spring
we went South with twenty men. My
instruction were brief and to the point.
Everyone of you fellows is a regular.
I told 'em. Now pitch in and do the
best you know how. OF that entire bunch
Young Pfefer and one other, 1 believe,
are the only ones I've kissed good bye.
1 don't expect to have a larger army in
the spring and 1 expect the results will
be quite as satisfactory as those OBJ
tained by clubs having thirty or more
men out for spring practice"
Regarding the college man in baseball
Mr. Dovey made this concise but telling
comment:
college players? Not for mine. Give
me the boys from the lots-the chaps
who know that they must either make
good in baseball or go back to carrying
the hod. These college fellows are only
In the game as an alternative for pull
