Little Rock. March 3O.-It's never safe to attempt to pass on ballplayers in the spring time, but from what the reiuven- ated Travellers have shown thus far. it is pretty safe to hazard the prophecy that the capital of Arkansas will be represent ed in the Southern league race this sea- son by team that will do it credit.
 The lame and sore condition in which most of the men find themselves makes it exceedingly difficult to get a line on their real ability. This Is especially true of the pitchers So far Connolly, Folbre, steiger, Girard and Compton are the only members of the staff who have worked. Of Fnllenwider, Toren and Barniele. Manager Finn and Captain OConnor know nothing more than when they were first signed. Of course. they know pretty much of what the stock-in-trade of Hart and Buchanan consists. although neither of the veterans Is yet ready to go on the mound
 However, if Fullenwider. Toren and Barnicle show up as well as the quintet who have worked. then someone is go- ing to have an awful time deciding what pitchers shall stick. Connolly pitched an impressive game against the Cardinals on Thursday, but was left in too long. When he tired the big leaguers got to him. Compton made a good showing in the two innings that he worked against the St Louis crowd. Steiger and Grard were all to the good against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Girard held the worlds cham pions scoreless in the four innings that he worked, and Steiger would have done the same had he received the support that his pitching merited. Folbre pitched a grand game against St. Paul and had them blanked until he let down in the ninth

McElveen. who was with Nashville last season. also will come with Brook lyn. From all reports McElveen is making good with the majors and will play the bag as a regular.
 Manager Molesworth plans to make good showing against the Superbas To date his pitchers have not eXerted themselves at all Tomorrow. how ever. in case the weather is warm, the twirlers will expend a little energy and the score sh ould be comparatively close.
 Yesterday the Barons defeated the Avondale team 12 to l. There were very few fans at the park and very little interest in the game. Moore, Dickson and Bauer twirled for the Barons and each did fairly well. It was Dcksons first appearance and while he simply topped them over he handled himself easily and indicated the presence of much ability in his repertoire.

DISPUTE OVER REEVES.
New York Giants Can't Even Agree
 Among Themselves.

Little Rock, March 30.-In a practice game the Giants were thrown into a heated argument over a rule, new or broke up the game and sent all hands on a hunt for the rule book.
 Murray, who was playing right field got under a long fly. and Matty, who was at first, stuck a bit off the bag. The ball fell into Murray's hands, but i'm mediately dropped out and hit the ground. Murray quickly threw the ball to second, and Matty was caught between the bases "'rhe batter is outl' yelled Arlie Latham, who was umpiring. Out for what?' de manded Matty, who had been caught on the play He's right" chirped in Me Graw. ''The batter is out Arlie is right. . "I say tle batter is not out!' screamed Murray as he came running In from the fieM Everybody surrounded Latham and the argument extended throughout the 30 players on the field. That batter is outt' explained Latham. because Mur- ray purposely dropped the ball to make a force play at second base
 Nobody was satisfied with that and a hunt was made for the rule book. "The rule has been there for years" argued Latham, and it has always been decided that way by umpires in regular league games"
 The rule book was scanned closely, but there was no such rule in it. McGraw then butted into the book and argued that the rule came under the head of that section which says that batter Is out when a fielder holds a ball momentarily. He claimed that Murray held the ball momentarily and then dropped it.
 If he hadn't held it, naturally he couldn't have dropped it. said McGraw. The upshot of the argument was that no fielder of the Giants must attempt such a play during the coming season. If a trick play Is to be used the fielder must trap the ball. that is. allow it to strike the ground first Under no consideration must a fielder make a bluff at catching the hall on the flY first

MIOUE'S TRAVELLERS

The club looks equally strong behind the bat. Casey on his showing thus far is the best young catcher that the South ern league has seen in years. Captain OtConnor, while he has not worked mueh, has shown that he is still far from being all in. All he needs is few days under hot sun to put his throwing arm III trim, and he will be whole lot better than a lot of backstops who are ara"ihs salaries up in the big leagues. Moves also loomed up well in the one game III which he caught. Stark has not been given a chance yes, but his Work nei U two years ago demonstrated beyond q doubt that he is catcher of class.
 The infield looks to be the best that Little Rock over had. Tarleton at hrst mas put up a great fielding game, and mas also been hitting well. All possible credlt must be given Nick Kahl. The former Non {s in sucb shape that every move causes him pain and yet he has been out tbere every day and his work in the sec ond game against St. Louis was nothing less than sensational. There has been little chance to get line on Boueher fielding ability owing to his bad arm ana ebarley-horsed legs. However, ne mas been hitting at better than 300 gait, and has shown speed on the bases despite his 1ameness. Perry is still stiff and sore but has been showing the same form which gave him the reputation of being the best third baseman in the southern league last year.
 Collins In left is the same old Joe, GOV ering an acre of ground and fielding In fanlfless form. Sentz has all the ear marks of a sweet hitter.
 The club is still minus an outnelder. Nothing has been heard from Davis, ana Manager Finn has about given up nope of the Western association sluggers re- porting. He is looking for another man. Two big league clubs have offered nm an outfelder, but he vas not satlsheo with either of them.

Wilhelm, after a trial in the majors. returned to Birmingham in 1906 and did splendid work in the pennant win hing season.

THAT MISSING DIGIT.

Frank Corcoran, one of the cleanest of the big league scribes, in letting Mordecai Brown tell his own story, brings to light the story of the great tWirler's lost finger.
 T don't suppose they would think me half so good a pitch er,' said he the other day. If l was not shy that first finger on my pitching hand. Maybe 1 wouldn't be, eith CT. I've always believed that the fact that fin ger is not there gives me an ad- vantage over a lot of twirlers who have five diglts on their pitching hands.
 T lost the finger when l was a Kid, so that 1 really never missed 1t so much. It was not as If 1t had been cut off after l had learned what 1t was worth.
 'I was on farm as boy and was working hay chop per. l was turning the handle With my left hand and pushing the hay into the trough of the chopper with my right. I pushed 1t little too far and the knives caught my first finger, shipped 1t off, and nearly got my sec ond.
 I've never had any use for a horse-or anybody else that would eat hay-since. I suppose that Is why l never could see anything in betting on the races"

EDDIE KARGER UNBEATABLE

Atlanta, March 30.-"I don't know how the St. Louis and New York teams feel about their ends of the three deal in which Cincinnati also fig ured last winter, but l do know that We didn't get the losers end when we gave away Catcher Schlei for Karger and Fromme," said Manager Griffith of the Reds today.
 As l am a pitcher myself, 1 think I know the good from the bad ones. l have never seen a twirler before In Ed Karger's class. The southpaw is In first class condition right now and , he told me yesterday that he : was ready for the opening of the season if it came today. T ordered him to take it slow
 at the start, but the way he has been bending them over for the last two days convinces me S that he is a wonder He has a slow ball that none of tn em will be able to hit.
 Arthur Fromme will also
 prove that he is as good a right
