Now that there is q possibility Of

I'VE q lot Of trouble by having some

Il should be decided In vase a re-
yamped team wins either 10 call off the
pool because not q single pool team, An
sshed arst: divide the money between
those who originally held the names
of those of the reconstructed team in
other teams or decide to give it to the
1frst original team that finishes. If you
don't specify the latter for your pool,
either Of the two previous solutions
must bs adhered to for consistency's
sake.
r. seems certain now that p. T.
Powers will withdraw from the Eastern
League race. 1t comes In a sort OF
vague rumor that Powers has business
interests to which he VIII devote his
entire time In Ireland. The real truth
IL probably that Powers has bought
nut the Boston club. as was limited In
this column and that he has himself
boosted Barrow. That is the opinion
of most well-informed.
Eastern League magnates are already
gathering In New York for the big
meeting Monday. Jack Dunn is 10Y

shortstop Hilt was given a trial by
the Orioles last spring, but was farmed
out. .
Ben Egan, the Oriole catcher, is also
in New York awaiting the day set for
the pow-wow and anxious to talk base
ball and see the faces of friends again.
Egan certainly is a wonder, and how
he escaped the major league dragnet
is hard to understand. BY the way, 1t
was Larry Sutton, the Newark man,
on the Brooklyn Clubs payroll, who put
E,gan into the game with a New York
State League team. Larry would do

Connie Mack doubtless has his y on
Ben already. Lefty Russell and
Egan made a great combination, and
Russell will doubtless recommend his

The story crops out from New York
today that p. j. Powers will o be
president of the Eastern League this
year, but that Ed. Barrow will be the
man. BUSINESS interests keeps Mr..
Powers from seeking reelection, it Is
said. Until q formal announcement
comes from the salways-coming-back'
Powers, we'll rest on the information
given us by a usually reliable author
ity, that MI. Powers will be reelected.
