received at all at the camp. The Red leader has no use for hold-outs claiming that man who demands ar exorbitant salary hasn't much of winning spirit. If Spade is not here by the. first of the week to take his training along with the rest of the pitchers he might as well not come along at all. Griff is much disap- pointed at Lobert's delay in coming to terms. He boosted the Dutchmans figures $500 over the fat contract Hans had last season. and he had expected stead of joining the hold-up club There Is so little difference between thems however. that Griff thinks Lo- bert will be along on Sunday with the rest of the bunch. as he has instruct ed him to do by wire. T am not go- ing to yield even the small extra boost that he has asked for,H said Grin tonight. He drew a large salary last year and I advanced him a good bit on account of his faithful work. l thought he would thank me for what l had done. instead of demand ing still more. Hans Is not bad fellow. though. and I guess he will be along all right"
 Nothing has been heard from Joe Doyle. to whom Grin was willing to give a chance If he was a free agent. and the supposition Is that Doyle is still under reservation to the New York Americans.

FIELDER JONES SAYS
 HE IS DONE WITH GAME

Charles Comiskey. president of the Chicago White Sox and who Is with the ball team in San Francisco. Is in receipt of a letter from his former manager. Fielder Jones. The letter contained what everybody. except Comiskey expected In 1t Jones flatly stated that he was through with base ball and gave Comtskey to under stand that there was no hope of get ting him to lead the players of the white hose in another pennant race.
 Whether the letter contained any statement in regard to a $2O.O0O or sSO.OOO salary (Jones having been credited with asking both sums) the owner of the Chicago club did not say.
 But though admitting that Jones said he would not return, Comiskey stn refuses to give up. He persists m saving that Fielder will manage ms club again The Old Roman declared that he would go to Portland when his team starts the trip back from the coast and endeavor to Ret the man who led his club to il worlds cham pionship back into the fold.

STRANG THINKS AMERICAN
 CARS WILL BREAK RECORI

The deflection of Strang from the ranks of the drivers of high-priced foreign cars, with whom he has al- ways been identified, was not caused by the lure of gold Strang has long felt that American cars. given the skillful handling the foreign machines receive, are faster than those of Flu rope. But when Bob Burman. the not ed Buick pilot, won the 100-mile track championship at New Orleans Mardi Gras speed carnival. with $1,750 stock Buick. defeating Strang and his son. Vanderbilt cup winner. and his ninety horsepower Savannah grand prize Simplex, breaking the worlds record by eleven minutes, Strang says he saw "the handwriting on the wall' and realized the time had arrived for the Buick connection if he was to keep in front Burman and Strang will compose the Buick team and accord ing to race experts will prove a mighty combination.

 McAleer has headed for the South with the St. Louis Browns. Houston Is the training point this year. and about twenty-siY men will shape them selves for the seasons work at this point. Fans of the South had expect ed to see McAleer give Paul Cobb a tryout on this spring trip but his name is missing from the list of those who are taken and the manager of the Browns has announced that he does not think that Cobb has the goods to compare with some of his other out field material and will not make any effort to look him over this season, so 1t means one more season with the mil nors Tor the younger brother of the world-famous Tyrus. McAleer claims 10 have some remarkable outfleld ma terial and he expects to see some of his veterans lost in the shuttle for per- manent jobs.

Now that Schweitzer's leg has entirely recovered from the ailment that kept this valuable player on the bench great deal of the time last year, this rangy player is almost sure Of regular berth with stone This will leave four or five to scramble for the remaining job In the field.
 From McAleer down, the one thing thought of this year is pennant. and Detroit Is coming In for some hard games with the Browns this year.

 "Cleveland will make a good fight" said McAleer. but 1t is that batting bunch of rascals at Detroit that I'm afraid of" says McAleer.
 The general tone of gossip about the city Is not favorable to Detroit's chances. The prevailing opniion Is that the Tigers slipped through rather fortunately last year. and that teams batting and base running can alone hardly carry 1t to antoher champion ship.
 opinoin was shown yesterday when three bets were made of $100 even that the Browns beat out Detroit.

NEW PITCHER WILL GO
 AFTER WADDELL'S RECORD

Rube waddel;s record as a strike out pitcher will probably be leopard ized this year. and by a teammate. If all reports of Pitcher Justus. who comes to the Browns from the Lancas- ter team of the Ohio State League are true, the recruit Is a wonderful strike out pitcher. James Hallam of Cincin- natl, a friend of Justus, who has many times seen him work, says of him:
 'I have seen him strike out twenty two men in one game, when he was pitching for the Krebs Hamilton team, a semi professional aggregation which belonged to a small leaguc with head quarters at Cincinnati. On the team last year with Justus was a friend of mine, White. a pitcher. I believe the Boston team has signed him. I spoke to him of Justus and he tells me that he will make a sensation in the big league if the Browns have a good catcher to take care of him. He says that Justus never loses his temper and has the best speed he has ever seen. I believe. like White." added Hallam. that he will push Waddell for the strike out record he Is almost i'm possible to hit when his control Is good"
 As last year the find" pitched four no-hit games, it seems safe to say there Is some Justus in Hallam's re marks.

,Savidge Late Of The Turtles
 Looks Good to Jack Rvde,

Jack Ryder, who is with Clarke Grifhth and the Cincinnati Reds at At lanta, Is writing very interesting dope about the men who will try and land in the first division for the Reds. dur ing the coming baseball season.
 All the boys are in good shape to- night except Tom Downey, who is somewhat sore. A couple of warm days will put him all to the good. Ralph Savidge has had only one day of practice. but he is in pretty good condition. He is anxious to stick with the team. and thinks he can do SO. Ralph has been playing ball for six years. all in the South. He went straight from school into the South Atlantic League and remained there for five years-four at Savannah and one at Jacksonville. Last season s,he was with Memphis. and was the main stay of the team in the box. He is strong and rugged this spring. and looks good on short acquaintance. He has only few pounds to take off. and will be in perfect shape within a week. Savidge, by the way. is an ex- pert pool-player. Marty OToole Is also a wonder at the game. and Now rey, Hugglns and company will have to look to their laurels this season. Griff plays a strong game, too, so there will be plenty of skillful exhi- bittons oi1 rainy days.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS,
 FOR PHILADELPHIA

Baseball In Philadelphia next season promises to be on a higher plane than ever before. The Athletics will move into q handsome half million dollar plant. while the sensational deal whereby Israel Durham, James Me NichoI and Clarence Wolf gain con- trol nf the Phillies will mean an az gressive and up-to-date team at the National League Park.
 In purchasing a controlling interest in the Phillies, Senator Durham said that 1t was his idea to get a pennant- winning team for Philadelphia if money could help to make one. says The Philadelphia Record.
 One serious plight of the Phillies was the reluctance of the old owners to spend money for players. This coterie had entered baseball to save the Phillies. and they never got the
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-03-07

returns they expected. Most of them were rather disgusted with their ven- ture, and decided to never again un- loosen their purse strings.
 That Is the reason that Philadelphia has never been a serious bidder for players placed on the market. With a new and liberal ownership. that sort of thing has passed. Manager Murray never fear that the money won't be ready for him when he has a chanca to land a good man.
 The old regime, In which a score or mare of men were the owners of the club, never did work successfully. It was a question where none was vital ly interested. and each was quite will ing to let matters take their course. Now, with the ownership narrowed down to a small coterie, 1t will be better for the club. for it will devote the time and attention necessary for the smooth operation of any big enterprise.
 The Phillies again are fortunate. for they have the first competent man. ager since the days when Harry Wright was one of the country's best tacticians. William Murray biuldej better than he knew when he leN his team at Jersey City in 1907 to take charge of the Phillies. There was an appreciative improvement from the very start and 1t has continued to this very day
 Mir. Murray had to face a parsim oni- ous management and an incohesive ownership. yet he succeeded despite all drawbacks.
 . Unable to get the minor league talent he wanted. he virtually had to depend on his own club at Jersey City for players for the Philllies. In this respect he unearthed two stars in Pitcher McQuillen and Third BasemaR Ed Grant.
 No longer will MT. Murray have to contend with the petty vexations of his first two years with the club. He will get the sympathetic support of every body who holds stock in the club. In other years he was less fortunate in this respect.
 There Is added incentive why MT. Murray will strive to even outdo his efforts of 1907 and 1908. He recent ly purchased the heavy holdings of Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg in the club These are by no means incon- siderable. and make Murray the heaviest stockholder in a club of any baseball manager.
 Messrs. Durham( McNichol and Wolf are entirely friendly to Murray and they will work together as one family. with the playing and exclusively In the hands of Murray.
 The whole situation is shaping to- ward a great future for the Phillies.

New System Of Bookkeeping
 for the Board of Reuenue

There was but one serious objection found by Sheldon Salisbury, expert &C., countants, following their examination of the Board of Revenues books. The report declared that by far the most of the money paid out on warrants by the clerk had never been passed upon by the board members, or at least the auth orization of payment had never been entered on the minutes.
 The accountants branded this sys- tenn of payments as unwise, and as con- ductive to entanglements. inasmuch as the warrants cover thousands of dol lars each month.
