El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-03-05

Will be visited by the largest GeIeSa-
ton that ever has made itself at home
with the fine cut of the village mar
shall There are enough players now to
start a baseball nine, but there are
more to make the long journey to the
west.
Youngsters Arrive First.
This first delegation is mostly the
kindergarten. True, there are some Of
the old timers present. For instance,
there is MathewsOn, who decided that he
would start early this spring, and take
it easy for six weeks instead of trying
to rush his arm into condition in three
weeks.
Raymond is here because McGraw
wants him under his eye for as long as
possible. The erratic "Buggs" knows
that he must play ball this year or hear
the hammer drop. He doesn't desire TO
be cashiered and he did strike Marlin
Springs in good condition.
Meyers came from California before
he was expected. He said that he had
nothing else to do, and he wishes to get
in good condition. The indian is am
bilious and believes that he viii play
better ball than he did in 1909. He i'm
proved then.
Latham is here, Of course. and
''Robby" is along to look after the
pitchers He has had an eye on them
and will have several chances at their
style before he is away from the place.
There are enough of them" said he
when he looked the delegation over. IF
Nc can't get one pitcher from that
crowd 1 don't think that he ever will
get one anywhere"
Introducing Scott.
Among them is a young player by
the name of Scott who was with Johns
town, Pa, last year and who was
called the willing worker in the Tri-
State league No matter how often they
asked him TO try his hand in the box
he was ready for "go" against the
opposing team, and the best part OK
his work through the season was that
he won more games than he lost by
about a quarter.
Some of the men who had been
watching the young talent of the minor
leagues told McGraw before the leaves
had begun to fall that it would not be
a bad idea if he kept an eye on Scott
and prevent some other club from OBJ
tanning his services. He isn't a phen-
omenaI winner" said one Of these men,
HE is a good serviceable pitcher and
he looks like a young fellow who may
make fine record if he gets with the
right club. In any event 1t viii not
hurt anything to try him and IL a prize
is drawn all right" So Scott was an
nexed to the Giants
To date he has made one record
which surpasseS that of all the other
young men on the team. He is the
champion eater of the crowd. The inn
keeper at this resort charges well for
the substantials with which he fills his
table. He will not make a profit on
Scott There may be some with deli
cate appetites who thrive well on two
eggs per diem, but Scott goes in for
six and then takes a hunt for the hen
which laid them
He stood the trip well down the
coast, and the further he sailed the
better he felt and the more he ate. The
steward of the Southern Pacific steam
ship looked upon him with admiration.
What a boy he is TO jettison a cargo"
said he, as Scott ate the third piece of
pie It's enough to keep a man from
being sealck merely TO watch him en-
Joy his food"
The sun has been around some. The
has trilled as high as 20.
Shortly it will go higher, but before il
makes the last jump il is reported that
a cold wave is 10 drop over the place.
The natives insist that it is the very
last cold wave which can be expected
of the season, because the song birds
are beginning 70 carol.
