New Haven, Sept. 19.-George M. Cameron. owner of of the New Haven baseball team, has notified Secretary Farrell of the national commission that The reserves for his team next season fourteen players, viz: Frank tor, Jerry Cornell, Billy Sullivan ter. Ed Dent, William Belden, Clyde
 Cameron will keep Sullivan, the young outfielder, who was supplanted by Snyder the latter part of the sea- son, as he figures Sullivan has the makings of good player in him. Snyder's status is somewhat in doubt. It is possible he may hang to start the season next year, but Cam eron is not particularly impressed with his fielding ability, although he realizes the fact that the sailor con- meets with the leather in good shape.
 Peckinpaugh, of course, is lost to New Haven, playing now with the Maps, and Cough, will be lined up with the Portland, Ore, club. Bugs Reisigl. though drafted by. the Dodg- CTS, will return to New Haven next sea son it is thought by Cameron. An arrangement whereby Bugs Reisigl may return there in case Brooklyn should not use him has been settled
 The work Of Eddie Bridges was thought so: much of that Cameron is. busy now trying to land him for keeps. Cameron will have to buy him outright now.
