Hohnherst, first baseman for San An
tonic, has returned to play with At
lanta. replacing Barr, the regular first
sacker, who is i'll with typhoid fever
This will weaken the local team to
considerable extent.
Another trade has also slipped up
The Bronchos will not get Mayer from
Atlanta, as was announced, but pitcher
Griffin has come instead He is not in
good shape, but is expected TO round
into form within short time
French and Larsen have also been
added to the Mays staff and both are
doing good work II they can only keep
up the game There have been so many
changes in the BrOnchos since the be-
ginning Of the season that it is almost
necessary to keep a moving picture ma
chine operating to keep UP with them
Firestine and McIver are now prob
ably doing the best work for San An
ularly and are also doing good work in
the field.
Fort Worth has secured the services
of Bill baltimore, Irmer star pitcher
for the Toledo team of the American
association. On account of illness he
has not pitched any ball for eight
months, but is now rounding into shape
again. He is expected to prove good
material in this league
Foley White. a we'll known figure il
the Texas league, has been given his
unconditional release by Waco. He is
looking for berth with the Cactus
league of the west or the Prickly Pear
league Of the southwest He will prob
ably last as he is still able to de-
liver fair grade of goods.
Danny Claire. who was with Shreve-
port last year, is playing a good game
this year for Wichita in the western
league
Ison. new infieIder, has been signed
by San Antonio. He comes from At
lanta of the Southern leaguef. He will
replace Harrison at short, who failed
to make good.
Infielder Emery of the Oklahoma
team last year is with Birmingham of
the Southern league He is delivering
an excellent grade of work to that
team.
Mike Erwin, the Texan who is catch
ing for Brooklyn. is connecting for hits
regularly now and is dividing the work
with Bergen.
Druke is pitching fine ball for the
New York Giants. The indications are
now that he will make the best show
ing of any man -ho went from the
laac RI
Sentz. formerly with Fort Worth, and
Tate. formerly with Dallas. are playing
with the Wheeling club in the Central
league.
Sioux City is after Thebo. one of
Waco's outfieIders and who has been
with the Texas league for several years.
Buster Burnett, a pitcher, has been
offered The trade Lay be consum-
ated Waco is weak in box work
Zach Wheat. formerly with Shreve-
port, is doing much to help Brooklyn
win its games. Wheat is batting close
! to AGO and is lining them out for ex-
ira bases.
Gribbens. the new catcher recently Sc
cured by FIT. Worth, is now working
ana Is SnOWlHS SCOQ FREQ Moore
has succeeded Walter Norris as short
stop on that team and Earl Snapp from
the Texas Christian university has APP
parently cinched job at third
Mig Perrine, now playing second base
for Oklahoma City, has been given sew
eral trials with the big leagues. but has
never made good. He IS showing fast in
Texas company
Arnold Gandn. who played with
Shreveport under the name of Arnold.
has made good with the Chicago White
Sox He will be a regular member of
the team.
Charlie Moran. who has been coaching
the Agricultural and Mechanical collage
this spring, has Joined Dallas. He WIS
bought from New York via <fobile, and
will be on the catching staff, assisting
Jack OnsIow. The latter has caught
every game played so far by Dallas. AMI
the strain is telling. Moran has been
the college boys, and is expected 10 be
of considerable help TO the Giants.
Robertson, the utility catcher Of the
Dallas team. will have to be disposed
of in some manner. The team will not
release him. as he is too valuable
man. Some of the other teams would
be sure TO gobble him up. He will prob
ably go TO a minor team with a string
attached.
IT is very doubtful IL Truesdale. Sec
ond baseman for the Browns of St Louis
who was traded to Houston az part p0n-
sideration for Newman. will be permit
, ted to go to that team. Under the rules
of the National association Dallas has
first claim on the services of the fast
little fielder. and will probably assert
| that right. ST Louis drafted Trunsda 70
F-Or1 Dallas last season Unless Dallas
gives her consent or declines TO repur-
chase Truesdale for the draft price $500,
