q EVEN Eastern League managers
% are talking now about their plans
for next year, the eighth. Jawn
Camel nas as good as o his second
pennant and is lot doing any talking
Just now. The fact is that he has
won two Eastern League pennants'with
the same outfit, and he will stand pat
again. Meanwhile the other Eastern
League clubs have already began the
padding UP process, most of them haN-
ing put in TRAITS already for minor
league talent recommended to them
through various channels. Jawn Gan
eel does not ave to worry about such
things. He has the pick of the surplus
material from the Brooklyn Club. Any
youngster picked up and given a trial
by the Dodgers generally is a valuable
ballplayer, for one of the best scouts in
the country is in the service of Presi-
lent Ebbets's Club, and that man is
Larry Sutton. Camel has it on the
other Eastern League managers in this
respect. Some of them. of course, will
wait until the spring again to take the
big league castoffs, but the real ener-
getic nag is doing business right
now. Joe McGinnity has a snug little
sum he is willing to hand over for
players who are highly touted, and
among them he expects to unearth a
new Eddie Zimmerman. One of the
third basemen he has in mind is said
to be Odell, a promising infielder from
the New York State League. Cy Parkin
reported f%avorably on this player. 1t

who the Newark Club will get, but it is
known that a couple of pitchers, in
fielders. outfelder and perhaps a
catcher will be picked up for trials.
After next week the players will be
packing their grips for home, sweet
home. It's around this time of the year
that they begin to get homesick.
Bob Spade, before returning to his
home in Akron, O., will pay a visit to
BoiIesetter Reese, of Springfield, o.
Spade has developed a sore arm, and
will be under the experts charge for
probably a week.
worlds series Talk.
The learned and Honorable b. Meyer,
habitat Hematite, Mo-, predicts that
the Cubs will capture the worlds
championship this fall. Benny dis
cusses the situation on the grounds
thai the American League is not as
fast an organization as the National.
Benny says: Take the Yankees, for
instance. There is a team made up OF
youngsters. such as Jack Knight, Jim
my Austin, Kid Foster, etc. Where 90
they class with a team like the Giants
or the Pirates, who will finish second,
or third in the Lynch league. Take
bed Murray or Larry Doyle. In the
American League either of these two
men would be fighting it cut with Cobb
for the premier batting honors. Doyle is
one of the best hitters | have ever
seen. n he is not hitting 300 IN the
National League. / think Doyle is d
cieaner and harder hitter than Ty Cobb
ever was. The National League pitch
ers are better than those of the Amerl-
can League.
Speaking about the relative merits
of Walter johnson and Christy Ma
taewson. which has caused much de-
bate of late. George Browne, of the
Newark Tigers, says that Johnson is
not in Matty's class. Browne has
played behind both pitchers and ad-
mires both. but he says that Matty is
by faf the better plIcntT. JoiiS' I -
a pitcher says George who can pitch
only i'm his turn. He relies a grea. deal
on his fast ball, and If he has not had
his proper rest he canno get his steam
up. and there you are. Matty, on the
other hand. has not the stuff he used
to have. but he uses his head. Every
ball that Matty pitches means some
thing. He can pitch every other day
in a pinch and has lone so more than
ence. Matty is much older than john
son. but he will still be pitching big
league ball when Johnson has returned
to the bushes
