CORBETT MAY PITCH
FOR THE SEALS
THIS YEAR
Former Star TWirfer of Baifi-
more Orioles Talks Matter
Over With Local NJ anagers

1t is not at all unlikely that Smiling
Joe" Corbett, the former great pitcher
of the Baltimore Orioles of Temple cup
fame, will become a Seal this season.
Corbett was a visitor at baseball
headquarters yesterday afternoon and
had a long talk with Jack Gleason and
Danny Long about joining the San
Francisco Seals.
Last night Danny Long said that
nothing had been done in the matter as
yet, but he admitted that the Seals
We're considering the advisability of
using Joe the coming season.
Joe has not played regularly since
1904, when he was member of the St.
Louis Cardinals and drew down a sal
ary of $1,000 for the season-the largest
salary paid up to that time for a
twirler.
Corbett quit ST.. Louis in August of
1904 of his own volition. At the time
he dropped from the game he was suf-
fering from rheumatism, and though F.
de Hass Robson, the owner of the st.
Louis club, tried to have Corbett re-
main with the team, Joe declared that
he felt rest would do him good and
Since quitting ST. Louis Corbett has
been working hard to round to his old
Baltimore form, when he was the best
pitcher in America, and he feels that he
Local fans think tnat Corbett would
make an ideal man for the Seals They
figure that besides being a great
pitcher he would make remarkable
team and that he could instill some in
side baseball into the club.
The last season Corbett pitched he
ming 12 of the Chicago Cubs in one
game, letting them down with two hits.
lhe same season he famed 10 of the
New York Giants and let them down
with three hits. Joe famed the great
