M'GINNITY BUYS TIGERS:

Status Of Manager WolvertOn Cannot Be Defined.
Fans in Quandary Over Peculiar Sale
Of Club and Possible Changes.

Now that the Newark Baseball Club
of the Eastern League has been pur-
chased by interests represented by Joe
McGinnity, for $50, 600, it is said, local
fans are exercising their gray matter
In figuring out whether or not any
changes will take place in the manage
nent. There is a press dispatch to the
effect that McGinnity will take his
place in the box for the local club as
soon as the Eastern League season
opens, and will alternate with the other
pitchers. Nothing has been said about
his managing the team.
If Joe decides to run the team from
the bench what will become of Wolyer-
ton, who was selected for the manage
ment of the team before 1t came into
the possession Of the interests McGin-

these problems today, with any degree

Stallings donned a Uniform for the

looked as big as DUKE Farrell. and Taft
hasn't much on the latter. Yesterday
the manager warmed a bench while

MARLIN, Tex, March 2.-Word was
received here today that Larry Doyle

Donlon had been refused 5000 a year
salary. The members of the squad felt
that If Mike does not back down his

AL Bridwell and Fred Tenney arrived

into the afternoon practise and with a
heavy red weat on he must have
taken off a dozen pounds at least, AL
said so anyhow. McGraw practised
Bridwell at third base alongside
Fletcher and perhaps they didn't make
a speedy pair.
Fletcher hasn't got a fault in his
action that l can see,' said McGraw
yesterday. He has as good a pair of
hands as Arthur Devlin, is lightnina
fast on his feet. and has a whip that
never has failed yet. The Dallas lad
is surely a classy fielder and he can
run bases, too

morning was devoted to regular rou-
tine work. but in the afternoon, which.

weather. a full ni~ne-inning scrub game
was played and there were the hottest
of times. John T. Brush offered a box
of cigars to the winning team, and.
so that no injustice should be done, the
names of the players were drawn out
of a hat by Robinson and Latham, the
rival captains. The L~athamites. on
which McGraw was not. won by the
big score of II to 6, and the runs
We're piled up by heavy and timely
batting, Cocash getting five singles
and a double. n 'Chief" Myers tore
off a homer, a double and a single and
also made a sacrifice bunt, which he
made an awful 'holler'' to get credit
for.
Myers's l~oop-the-loop WALTON was
made in the first inning, and, as usual
was over the left field fence and was
a cleaner-up as well.
The players themselves were con-
vulsed over Latham's witticisms in jol-
lying Pitcher Raymond while Arlie was
at the bat and Bugs in the box.
And Latham won out. A h~alf-dozen
pitchers were used for two Innings
each, n then Flowed to run back
to the Arlington Hotel baths.

and Lajoie's Maps
Miller has been signed for $3.50 per
month by Pittsburg. lie gives promises
of developing into a great ball player.
Taas fight that Barry Dreyfuss made for
HIM would indicate that.
The point upon which the chairman OF
the commission made his decision was
that Pittsburg had signed Miller first and
was entitled to his services. Miller had
been farned out TO Mckeesport last year.
A Cleveland scout saw him work and
drafted him
Miller was discovered playing ball In
Caldwell last june by Larry Sutton. He
was sent to Eastou in the Atlantic League.
He batted .3l5 while there. and he at
traeted the attention OF a Pirate scout.
July 4 Miller went to Pittsburg. The
following month he went TO Mckeesport,
