DANvILLE, Va, March Il.
r F. present plans are carried out, the
Tigers stay here will be shortened.
In accepting q third game with
Roanoke, Manager McGinnity has on
Guided that, if proper arrangements can
be made with the Ponce DeLeon Hotel
at Roanoke to accommodate the Tiger
squad, the players will leave here Sun
day night.
The team will play there Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, March rs. %
and 80, and Friday and Saturday the
Bengals will play at Richmond with
the Virginia State Leaguers of that
city. Manager McGinnity made an
effort to get the Philadelphia Nationals
to play the Tigers here this week, but
Manager Doom, of the Phillies, wired
back that he would not be able to make
the arrangements, as he played Roa-
noke, Richmond and other clubs.
The Tigers will meet the Y.
again Friday. This will be a bene-
fit affair for the General Hospital. The
local team will be strengthened by the
addition of several college stars, n
expect to give the Eastern Leaguers a
hold. It's possible that the locals will
be loaned a battery by Manager Nc
Ginnity.
Since the game Saturday, the fans
here a taken a great interest in the
Bengals, and scores of them flocked to
the hotel during the day to greet the
players.
Frank F. Semm. of st. Louis, who met
McGinnity and Myers in the West. is
here as a representative of a large
Western frm. He discussed games the
Iron Man" pitched and told about a
play Meyers made in an amateur game
in st. Louis years ago. There were
three on base and Benny's team had a
one-run lead. 1t was the ninth inning
and one was down. The batter drove
a fly to Myers in left and he caught it
and thew out the third man at the
plate, who started for home after the
fy was caught. Semm keeps the play
ers we'll supplied with fancy soap. He
promised to come to Newark during the
summer to see the Tigers play a league
game.
Benny Meyers purchased a Yale blue
"Rah-rah" hat Saturday and now
rivals sCy'' Parkins for style when 1t
comes to headgear. Bob Holmes, how
ever. is the real thing when it m to
dress. He has seven suits of clothes,
one being made to order.
"He can supply the whole team" said
Meyers.
The Tigers spent yesterday very
qnietly. Everything Is closed tight
down here on Sunday, n many of
the players were glad to get a rest
after four days of hard work, especial
" after Saturdays game, when nine
teen of the players completed the cir
cult, besides those who were left on
the paths in the game with the local
Y. Nj. C, A. team. That 10 to 0 score re-
minded the Iron Man of the drubbing
administered to the Giants a few sea-
sons ago by the Chicago Cubs, only
Joe said that it felt much better to be
on the long end of the tally.
1t will be just one month from today
when the Tigers have the pleasure of
meeting their erstwhile rivals-John
Cancels Broncos-in the first Eastern
League game of the season. All of the
veterans are a~nxiously awaiting that
day and the youngsters are anxiously
hoping that Manager McGinnity will
find uniforms enough to fit them when
that day comes around.
Benny Meyers is happy because he
connected for four safe wallops in Sat
urday's games, and one of Benny's
clouts was a healthy triplet. Benny
says that he is going to usurp Gett
mans position as cleaner-up in the
batting order of the Tigers this year,
All the recruits appear to be about
as good as could be selected from the
smaller leagues and elsewhere. The
vets" have shaken off aches and pains
and are ready to play the game Of their
lives this season; there isn't a loafer, a
