PROVIDENCE, July B..
NJ ANAGER HARRY WOLVER-
lVI TON of the Tigers, will pro-
test the game pitched by lanky
George Mcconnell. for the Shelters in
the series just ended. The action will
be taken on the score that the Boston
Americans have refused to waive on
the former Bison and for this reason
he had no right to pitch an Eastern
League game. It looks now as if the
big spitball pitcher viii go { the
Red Sox for the 81. 500 waiver price.
Jersey City is sure to suffer greatly
because of this and also because Rus
sell Ford, their other star SALESMAN, Is
said TO be ordered to report back to
Manager S~tallings in a day or 50.
Schmidt. the big left-hander, has been
sent TO Baltimore by Stallings. Jack
Dunn has been after this man for a
long time and is said to be happy over
getting him.
The Tigers arrived here, after
an all-night's ride from the Big
City. early this morning and
came prepared to make a favorable
start in the first stopping-place of their
long trip. Both Owner McGinnity and
Manager Wolverton are certain that
the Tigers are bound to show much
better results this trip over those of
the last. when his team won but one
game in each city visited. The Grays
are formidable. Barberich, Barry,
Cronin, Lavender and LATTE are a
pretty sweet bunch of pitchers to go
up against, but the bigger they come
the harder the falls. and they haven't
got the Tigers bluffed for a minute.
Every Bengal is in the best of shape
and looks forward to a fine trip, one
that will rival that wonderful one made
by the Tigers of 1908 in the last part
of the season, when they almost cleaned
up while on the read.
Mueller and Brady will probably
pitch today's and tomorrow's game re-
spectively. and Frill will do the heavy
work on Saturday. That game appar-
emily means a win the way the port
slider is going now. In the Sunday
game al Rocky Point Parkins will
probably be used. as Cy thinks he is
the best pitcher in the world on such
grounds, and he will probably be al
lowed to prove his claim. This dope
doesn't fiure McGinnity at all. but, as
everyone knows. the Newark magnate
is always in shape and willing to pitch
any time he is called upon. With Joe
in the box a feeling of confidence
seems to overspread the whole team,
ard they almost consider the game won
before it starts.
The Tigers have st present Just fifteen
men. or one under the Eastern League
limit. and there is q Strong probability
that another man will be purchased be-
fore long. The other teams seem to have
more men than the law allows, Jersey
City. for instance. having. as pitchers,
Ford. Mcconnell. Waller. Manser. Sitton.
Merritt 20; infe1ders. Calhoun. Gardner,
Foster: Esmond. Courtney (5p; outielders.
ianniln. Moeller. Eley and Hanford IA.
and Ryan. Knots and Spahr. catchers
CD. a total of nineteen men all told.
What's the use of a limit if IL isn't going
to be adhered to? Perhaps President
Powers can answer the question.
While the Bengals are admittedly
stronger than they were when the first
trip was made. when the players were
not in the best of condition. the other
teams do not seem to be any stronger for
their recent acquisitions. Toronto is'given
to going up in a balloon and Montreal
