PIRATES SIGN NEW
CATCHER Halls
FROM PATERSON
Edward Bridges Sends Along
Papers-Dreyfuss Expresses
Hope That He's as Good as the
Other Man Who Came from
Paters0n-0ther News.
P%ITTsBURG, Jan. 20.

PITTSBURG, Jan 20.
4 NEW catcher has been signed
"a by the Pittsburg Baseball
Club. The contract signed by
Edward Bridges, of Paterson, was re-
ceived by Barney Dreyfuss last night.
Bridges is the backstop who was pur-
chased from the Northampton team
In the Connecticut League last Au-
gust. When he opened the letter con-
tanning the contract Dreyfuss re-
marked that If Bridges. was as good
a find as the last player he got from
Paterson the Pitsburg team was in
luck. He referred to Wagner, who
was playing with the Paterson team
in 1897, when Dreyfuss secured him
for the Lo~uisviiles before they were
brought to Pittsburg.
The Chicago National League base
ball club sold two recruits to the Louis
Vile Club yesterday. They are Out
fielder Kay, who was on the Albany
team of the New York State League
last season, and Catcher Hart, who
played with the Monmouth team of the
Illinois Missouri League.
Work will begin shortly on a new
stand to be erected on the Polo
Grounds. 1t is to be two stories high,
176 feet long and So feet deep and will
cos $40. 900.
Dick Carroll, one of the Highlanders'
new pitchers. signed his contract yes
terday. Carroll played in the O.. and P.
League last season.
Jennings denied yesterday that he
had been contemplating trading Nc
Intyre and Moriarity for Stone and
Wallace, of the st. Louis Browns,
Hughie says that Wallace is still a
great player. but he thinks that Mory
is better. He is of the opinion that
Stone and Mcintyre are Of about the
same oalibre, and he declares that he
would lose on such an exchange. The
only trade which Jennings will con
slider, he says, Is a trade with the
Cleveland club. in which he will give
Schmidt for Mig Clarke.
Clarke Griffith was indignant yester.
day because of a $2,0 0 offer for Miller
Higgins. made by President Ebbetts
of Brooklyn. "Hugglns is worth $40, 00I
in my estimation" declared Griffith.
Manager Griffith has secured the sig
nature of six of the players to be re
tained by Cincinnati next season. The,
are Pitchers Suggs, Cantwell ant
Cheney: Catchers Mclean and Clark
and Outfielder McCabe. Clarke ha
promised TO smoke no more cigarettes
and Larry Mclean says that he Is OF
the water wagon for all time.
Outielder Sh~aughnessy, Pitche
Touchstone n Catcher Schmidt wer
all released by the Cleveland Club yes

that makes the most d%yspeptic horse

Gregory's Horse Will Be in
Charge of Irwin q.
STEELE.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.
IN Ohm GREGORY has place

Ohm GREGORY has placed the
chestnut pacing mare Lillian w,
2:16h, by Ondale, in the stable Of
Irwin @. STEELE, who will train and race
her during the coming season. Lillian
w. took her present record over a half
mile track last fall. She was then
looked upon as a high-class racing tool.
With the Improvement one naturally
looks for in a young mare like Lillian
w. in the hands of a good trainer, she
should "wiggle" some fast miles dur
ing the 1910 season. She will ~undoubted-
ly be a hard mare to trim in her class.
She has at all times exhibited an album
dance of gameness, a wonderful flight
of speed and a disposition to do what
ever was asked of her at all times. She
goes clean, no hopples nor rigging of
any kind, n was driven to her pres
Nent record by Clyde MacBride in a
winning race.
1t would not surprise many horse
men in this country should the Ken
lucky reinsman, Ed Benyon, break loose
with something mighty good from his
little band of Dromore Farm colts the
coming season. The produce of his
farm Is bound to SHOW and, in no
uncertain way, when once it's colts get
to the races. Some of the first of
Barqpgale's colts will be given a chance
by Benyon his season. 1t Is reported
that one in particular Is looked to for a
