MANY PLAYERS GET SECOND
TRIAL IN FAST COMPANY
Another Chance in Major Leagues for
Several Men After Brief Season
with Minors.

Something like Is or 20 players are
now about to try their luck in fast
company for the second or third time,
after a brief chance to think 1t over
in the minor leagues. The coming
back of these men will offset the de-
parture of the veterans OF the national
game for the last ten or Is years who
have been sent to the minors the past
winter.
Some former Detroit players are
coming back for another trial, notably
Clements, the outtielder; E. Jones and
Justus, pitchers; Archer and Stannage,
catchers.
Three former Maps are also come
backs" They are Earl Moore, Jap
Barbeau and Catcher Starnagle. Moore
gets another lease of Nfe with the
Philadelphia Nationals
Jap" Barbeau put in two good
years at Toledo, after being released
by Cleveland, and if he fails to be re-
tanned by Manager Clarke of the Pi-
rates, Bresnahan will probably give
him third trial. A comeback, grabbed
by Murray, is Clement, the Jersey City
outfielder who once wore a Detroit
Uniform in the days of Ed Barrows'
to Detroit under the name of Schultz.
He is the man wtJ broke the base
circling record at the big field day at
Cincinnati year ago last fall. Others
that Murray has picked up are Short
stop Shean, who was tried out by Con
ME Mack two years ago, and Catcher
Crist
In Briscoe Lord Cleveland gets a
man who was tried out by Connie
Mack and shipped TO New Orleans aft
er he had fallen a victim to malaria.
Lord looked like a real live wire when
he first joined the Athletics. and many
experts predicted that he would crowd
Seybold off the team. But the young
ster's health gave way and it has
taken him two years to acquire big
league form again.
Frank Chance will have three men
that have seen big league ball before
They are Catcher Archer, Outficlder
Stanley and Pitcher Kroh, Archer was
with the Detroit champions in 1907
and caught one Of the games of the
world series. Then he went to Buff
falo, and now he joins the club against
which he played in the greatest series
of baseball. Pitcher kroh was twice
tried out by the Boston Americans and
shipped to the minors each time. Stan
ley was member of the Washington
club for two years and was noted for
his ability to field Weakness at the
bat caused him to drop out of the
American league.
The New York Americans are sched-
uled TO try out few men who have
been up before, the come-backs be.
ing Ward, knight, Brockett and
Hughes. The last two We're with New

to the Tristate league, while knight
served year at Baltimore after being
let out by Boston.

kee, Roth having been a member Of al
