better be very careful how he handles
himself, because Kelly is a pretty pop

We confidently expect that Kelly viii
be with the Newark team, but in the
meantime we viii miss him a whole lot,
and SO will the boys, unless Manager
McCiinnity succeeds in developing an
other .Tys Cobb or q Iris Speaker.
outside Of first our infield will be
the same old creased lightning combi-

Larry Schlafly will make his debut as
captain of the Tigers, II Eill Louden.

and Loudcn in their respective posi-
lions play together with cloek-iike pre-
%cision, and Ne~arAers really do not APP

players, these two men are. Schlafy
Knows BASEBALL from one 10 twenty :

Year, and Il similar improvement will
mean tina sill will be good enough for
any major league club. At third Zim-
norman has the big league style about
him that makes him look like the goods,
and he expects to have Il successful
season. He certainly showed class last
season. ana he is going tG be better
still this season.
In right field Benny Meyer will again
cavort for the cdihcation of those who
plunl; down their two-bits or good
American half. Benny Will irlmediate-
~ proceed to make the Welkin ring
with his merry shouts. It has been
rumored that Meyer Will try to slide

counter, bpt we have been unable to
verify it to date.
Manager McGinnity is a lucky nan
TO have Jake Gettman stamping the
grass again in the centre-heli pasture.
Jake has been cleaning up Nieh that
vacuum bat OF his with the same Old
regularity thai made him the most
popular man on the team last season,
ana he win prove it tomorrow. In the
receiving department will be old joe
Crisp and Hughey Hcarne.
The ex-Oriole was always likei in
his town and will be welcomed as Il
Tiger, especially if he uncorks a bit or
two during the afternoons entertain
meHt. Crisp will again be depended
on a great deal by the iron Man" and
he is in fine fettle, according 10 the
stories sent cut by the War correspond
ents while on the training trip.
In the pitchers box Frill will be the
only man missing. The remainder OF
the staff is intact. The Iron Man
says that he will not pitch tomorrow,
but we 60 not believe tlat he will be
able to resist going into the box for at
least a few filings.
Newark fans are hoping that Man
aser Mack VIII allow Lapp to work, as
they would like to see how the former
Newarker looks in u Philadelphia uni
form. Lapp did a whole lot Of good
for the Tigers while he WAS with the
team last year and NeWarkers are very
fond of him for that reason.
