port there for practice on March 5 or 6.
Charles H. Ebbets. president Of the club,

Mr.. Ebbets said yesterday that Dahlen
had full charge of the team and that he
did not know just how the men would take
the field, but that he believed his new
manager would make good" and felt con-
fident that the nine would be fighting along
in the first division when the season drew
to close. He spoke in glowing terms of
Jake Daubert, recruit from the Memphis
club of the Southern Association. but said
he did not know what plans Dahlen had
concerning the rumor that Tim Jordan
might be traded to the Giants.
Daubert played with the Cleveland club
of the American League three years ago.
but was sold to Toledo, and went from
there to Memphis. According to President
Somers Of the Cleveland club, Daubert is a
finished first baseman, and has no equal in
that position, with the possible exception
Of Hal Chase of the Yankees. He said re-
Gently to Mr.. Ebbets You have a jewel
In Daubert IL he has improved in his bat
ting"
As matter of fact, Daubert headed the
batting list in the Southern Association last
year with a percentage Of .34, which
speaks for itself. Under the circumstances
Dahlen has an able substitute for Jordan If
he decides to let the latter go.
as yet but Mr.. Ebbets is not worrying and
expects 1t will come along any day. Brook
lyn, as usual, will be strong in pitchers,
with Rucker. Wilhelm. Hunter. Bell, McIn-
tire, Scanlon and a couple Of new men on
the list. Erwin. a catcher of whom much
is expected, is counted on to help Bergen
out.
The brilliant Lennox is sure of his place
a third base and the outfeId Iooks strong
with Wheat. who made name for himself
in the closing days of last season: Burch,
Lumley. Downey and Schirm to pick from.
The last named is a fast man from Buffalo,
and if he can bat up to the mark will
make name for himself in short order.
Sentell, shortstop from the Mobile club
who played with the Phillies several years
ago. may force Mcmillan to the bench but
to all appearances Hummel will be fixt-
ure at second base.
Bill Torrey. the pitcher. will play with
the Giants this year. At least he was re-
leased Internationally to the New York
Club yesterday by August Hermann, pres
ident of the Cincinnati Club
1t will be remembered that the Giants
purchased Torrey from the Springfield Qll)
club some time ago for $4,000, but the Ma
tional Commission, in a ruling last summer,
saw fit to disregard contract held with
the player by Springfield. while recognizing
a later one held by Jimmy Callahan, who
was running a semi-professional team in
Chicago. Torrey was reinstated by the
commission and quickly signed Cincinnati
contract, in spite of a protest from the
owner of the Springfield team, who was
anxious to collect the $1,000 from New York
do yx-tfl nnlItb ba ling la 70
the player.
The situation was q peculiar one. II the
commission reversed itself Torrey would be
an outlaw for having jumped his contract
with Springfield and would not be eligible
to play with the Giants. AS it is. however,
Mr. Hermann has Strengthened out the
tangle in the interest of harmony. The
owner of the Springfield club will now. get
his money, no doubt. as the New York club
bought the player In good faith, and the
Giants should be the gamer, as Torrey is a
clever pitcher.
Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago
Cubs is well pleased at getting Beaumont,
the outfelder, from Boston. He says those
who have branded the trade as a bad one
will change their tune before the season is
over Johnny Evers and Joe Tinker will
not go to the training camp at New Or
leans but will join the team at Nashville
on March 2S it is working its way north.
Fred Luderus, understudy for Chance
at first base who has been holding out for
more money, is now one of the Cubs.
Charles II. Ebbets explained yesterday
that Barney Dreyfuss would not have much
difficulty in arranging to begin the worlds
cha mpionship series before the close of the
National League season on October Is If
the Pirates had the pennant safely won. 1t
would be necessary only for Pittsburg and
Cincinnati to pull up" their games by
taking advantage of a couple Of open
dates and the way would be clear.
Two more Yankees sent in their signed
contracts yesterday to Tom Davis at the
home office They were Ed Sweeney, the
catcher. and w. T. Upham. a new pitcher,
who comes from Akron, Ohio, with> good
reputation.

Tinted Hunts Racing Association in the
windsor Arcade yesterday the following
officers were elected for the year 1916
