EASTERN LEAGUE
MANAGERS To The
FORE NEXT WEEK
Besides Electing a President,
Many Other Important Mat
ters Are on Card-SchIafly
Has a Story to Spring-Jack
Dunn Is Busy.

N oPE is flying around as to the in
IL tended doings of the Eastern
League magnates at the league
pow-wows to be held on Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday of next week at
New York.
P. I. Powers has succeeded in pre-
serving the mystery about what his
intentions are as to the presidency
with success up to the last moment.
No n apparently knows for a cer-
tainty just what the pompous and
portly P. T. will do. The consensus Of
opinion is that he can have the Job
again IL he wants 1t, however.
Henry Clay Smith, part owner of the
Newark club, who will attend the meet
dng with Joe McGinnity. is due in New
York today. One of the most important
matters that the two will have to de-
eide is the selection Of a new secre-
tary. Larry Schlafy does not hesitate
to say that he would like the job. but
he stops right there, and says that he
will have something to spring on Mon
day.
Whether or not the question OF .
shorter schedule for the Eastern
-D~o1O RSo@1CA NAAA Nv 4OA6a III a.
Mondays meeting is not certain, but
1t is more than probable that 1t will.
Some time ago, as printed in the STAR,
McGinnity limited that he would make
such a suggestion as a feeler. John
Camel says that the method of OPEN
ing the season will be the same as last
year, with Rochester breaking the Ice
at Newark. McGinnfty's idea was to
q I1andnn ~ 1.xxtn n an-S.r &u.A-tw0
trip and playing home IN exhibition
games on the four Sundays of April.
It Is likely that ga trip through New
England will replace the old Southern
workout.
If the following clipping from a Bal
timore newspaper is true, Jack Dunn
must be getting very fastidious regard
ing the quality of players he wants for
his team. The note reads.
Third baseman Bob Hall may be
sold to the Albany club, of the New
York State League. It was announceds
In the Albany papers this morning
that Manager Bill Clarke was decker
Ing with Jack Dunn and that the deal
would likely go through. Joe McGin-
nifty, OF the Newark club, would also
like to make q trade for Hall, but
Dunnie said this morning that he didn't
know of any Tiger players he would
like to have
BOZ Hall Is about tho weakest bats
mar in a pinch In the Eastern League.
He Is a good fellow and a classy fielder,
but his willow work Is extremely weak.
What McGinnfty wanted with him is
hard to understand. Jack Dunn should
have closed his eyes and taken who
ever McGinnity is said to nave offered,
even IL 1t were Red Mann, the Tiger
mascot, for the Newark club would
not be making a big haul In getting
Hall at any amount, however nominal.
Joe McGinnity does not believe that
Lefty Russell will prove sEch a big
sensation with the Athletics as he was
with the Orioles last year. For mine,"
says Joe, 81 would rather have Wyatt
Lee any time"
John Camel is due In New York to-
day to attend the three league meet
ings. "Jawn'' has several deals up his
sleeve and his main object is to get
men to replace Tooley and Blair. He
feels certain hat Tooley will make
good with the Suberbas. Graham,
Cancels new backstop, Is expected to
be a wonder by the Rochester scrfbes.
The Hustlers will train In a small town
In Alabama next year, instead of
Anderson, S. c., where they worked out
last year.
Doc Adkins has hooked up with the
Orioles again, having sent his contract
to Baltimore from Troy, Wis, accord
ing to Jack Dunn. Adkins has been
with the Birds for eight years, and
has always been a leading pitcher until
last year, when he showed signs OF
slipping. AT hat he won as many
games as he lost. Adkins mas a share
or two in the Baltimore Club that
assures him of a berth for at least
another a He may hold his " II
worked against second division clubs.
Dunn declares that he expects to
land a third baseman and a couple of
pitchers at the league meetings next
week. McGraw offered him Third Base
man Manush, a recruit, but Jack says
that he would rather get a player of
established repute. Renter, the big
Highlander who pitched for Toronto
last year under the name of Wilson,
has been signed by Baltimore. He has
wonderful speed, but lacks control. He
is great on the strikeout game, but
has a tendency to be too generous
when the batsme nwait him out. He
Is a most promising youngster and
came to Toronto from Detroit.
Howard Camnitz, brother of Harry
Camnitz, the Skeeter pitcher. who was
a member OF the Pittsburg staff for a
couple of years. will be placed on the
block in New York next week and sold
to the highest bidder. Dunn is after
him.
Larry Schlafy. who captained New
ark last summer, is said to be after
the management of a minor league
team. Mr.. Schlafy is immortal from
the fact that he nee went to a phone
between innings Inc forgot thai there
was a bali game going on. When his
team took the field nobody covered
second, and yet neither ball club and
neither umpire woke up till one of the
White Sox drove a grounder over the
middle bag.-Exchange.
