 NOTES.

Today Owner Cameron of New
 Haven will leave the Elm City in
 company with his bride for a honey
 moon trip to Florida, which will take
 him into April Cameron took a
 Brooklyn girl as his side partner last
 Wednesday. Cameron declares that he
 does not care a rap what the league directors would do in his absence as
 to the holiday schedule. He's not go- ing to let little matter like that wor- ry him. He says that they had plenty
 of time to have called a meeting be-
 fore his departure but did not take ad- vantage of it. Cameron has issued a call to all the players he has signed up to gather at the Swamp on April
 10th. He expects to be able to dis cover a number of uncovered phenoms
 in the South whom he will bring l North with him.
 | Herman Schincel, who has been a
 member of the Waterbury club since 1 the Spring of 1907 when he figured in ] a trade by which Holyoke got Parry Thackara, is likely to figure in trade to another Connecticut lea que club this year. It is known that Manager Bill Luby of the Larks would like to secure | the Author catcher, and a few days | ago was in conference with him. Tony Pastor has been mentioned in the trade between Waterbury and Northampton IT Connaughton has been secured to cov- CT second base and act as captain. Neal Ball, who makes his winters
 in this city, and the only major league player who ever made a triple play un-
 assisted, is said to be slated for the minors this season It is stated that
 Neal did not show enough class last fall to please Deacon" Jim McGuire, the new leader of the Maps. It looks as if Meals 1910 address will be Buff fab.
 Manager Hanna of New Britain will have to furnish a pitcher to Spring field if he desires to get Joe Connor, whom he has already appointed his playing manager. According to the contracts and releases sent out by Secretary Heydler of the National lea que on Saturday. Springfield gets two them first baseman. named Brady
 With Bra dy on his staff, Manager Teller of he Ponies will not be obliged to cover that position himself nor will he need Harry Mason, who was men
 toned as the other end of the Con- nor trade. Teller is sweet on Chapple Ward and will give Connor in trade for that lengthy youngster.
 It is difficult to understand why Manager Hanna is so anxious to get rid of Sox Waterman, his hard hitting
 outfelder. Waterman lad some trou- ble with Hanna over back salary and whether the matter is settled or not, is unknown. Hanna did not think his team. played as well,as it ought at the end of last season and it is supposed he holds Captain Waterman responsi- ble.
 fn IF securing talent for the New Britain team If Teller refuses to allow him to go to New Britain there would be a number of complications over the players that even the baseball writer on the Hartford morning sheet could not straighten out.
 Before leaving for the South today Owner Cameron of New Haven an- nounced that he had signed up 31 players for the White Wings this sea-
 son, and expects to gather few
 night to Dear George when it comes
 to wedding out in the early Spring. Nine of the players signed up come fl om Brooklyn, all having played on strong independent teams.
 Word comes from Reading, Pa,
 that Pop" Foster, formerly an Ora : tor, is to be part owner of the Read ing Tri-State league team. Foster
 was manager of the team the. past | season, landing the organization in second place, losing out on the final day to Lancaster. This season he was deposed as Owner Weitzel stated that he could not keep Foster and still keep within the salary limit as set by the league fathers. It looked for time as if Foster would go to
 some other team, but the latest ad-
 ices are that number of moneyed
 men in Reading have gotten together
 and bought the team, and set Foster up again as manager.
 Hobe Ferris, former Connecticut 1eaguers, has been sent by the St
 I.cuis American leaguers to the Min
 neapolis club of the American As
 soci9 ton. The passing of Ferris from
 the big show removes a former hard
 hitter and fine fielder, and a mem

 champs of 1903 and 1904. Hobe fail-
 ed to keep in condition last season, and was much over weight
