Johnnie Brewster of the Fort Worth
team is also among the list.
Shreveport Keeps Two Cactf.
Shreveport retains on its reserve list
for safe keeping two players who have
been playing with the Cactus league
this year. They are z. J. Bodies, the
southpaw, who was sold to Cleveland
at the close Of the 1909 season, but was
turned back to the Pirates, and B.
Whaling, who also played with Shreve-
port in 1909. These men will have to
come back to Shreveport or make peace
with that team before they can get in
to any other than outlaw" baseball.
Managers on Reserve Lists.
All of the present managers Of the
Texas league teams are on the reserve
list with the exception of Dale Gear,
of Shreveport. The fact that Shreveport
has no strings tied to him strengthens
the rumor that he is to leave that team
and manage Oklahoma City next year.
Walter Morris's name does not appear
on the Fort Worth list, but he is class
ed as an owner and does not have to be

CRv H. II. Shelton.l

There will be many old faces in the
Texas League next year. according to
the official list published by secretary
Farrell of the National association,
showing the reservations for 1911.
While nearly every team in the league
has been badly weakened by the sale
or drafting of players, yet of the IA
men carried there has been no instance,
except in that Of Waco, where more
than five men have gone to faster COM
pany. This leaves an average Of at
least ten old men TO the team, besides
the manager.
Teams Weakened By Transfers.
The teams, however, have been weak
ened in the most important positions,
the sales and drafts carrying to the
big leagues pitchers, catchers and in
fie1ders. When four good men are
taken away it plays havoc with the en-
tire team.
Some. of the Texas teams have on
their reservation list as many as 80
men. This is accounted for by the fact
that much new material has been sign
ed and a number Of men signed last
year did not report. With several
months yet in which to recruit for new
material, it would seem that there was,
no particular danger in not having
good ball in Texas next year.
List of Reservations.
The official list of reservations by
clubs is as follows:
Fort Worth-Green, BurleSon, Moore,

Kentucky Is Strong.
Kentucky is reported 70 have the

new material

strated conclusively the longhorns have
a fine working aggregation this year.
The game Monday between the Aus
tin college and Trinity university will
be an interesting game, but will cut
little figure in the ultimate results,
for the Austin college is not in the
same class with Trinity university.

Chicago, III. Oct. 15.-Ringer stories
there are many. Some. of course, are
mythical, while others have been YER
flied. Many columns. too, have also been
devoted to tales tending to reveal. to
the public at large the devious meth
DDS employed by the crooks Of the
turf in their efforts to deal solar
plexus jolt to the common enemy-the
bookmaker. The details of the one 1 am

on the contrary, I am telling a true
tale of the turf. However, those who
make a habit of migrating with the
thoroughbred may, by even crude
methods of deduction, piece the story
together and form their own conclu-
sions. The finger marks are quite
plain.
For some time, those responsible for
the cleanliness of the sport in the neck
of the woods where the happenings"
took place, had suspicious that GER
tain clique was buster than band Of

throughout the country made daily
complaints of being drubbed, while

killings that it was afterwards learn
