Red SOX Finish
Their Wedding Out.

Boston. Jan. 2O-With the release of
Catcher Tonneman. formerly of Memphis,
to Toronto, and the relegation of Ron
deau to the minor ranks once more, Man
ager Donovan has pretty nearly cleaned
up all his surplus material and from
now on the reception of contracts will be
the only thing of moment In the Boston
American camp.
Tonneman was really not needed with
three such backstops as Carrigan. Dona-
hue and Madden, while Rondeau, who bid
fair at one time to make a name for him
self in the big league. must stand another
year Of seasoning in the New England
League ranks before he can convince
either Manager Donovan or President
Taylor that he is of the calibre necessary
to earn a berth in the Red Sox team.
Rondeau's transfer was made yester-
day, Jesse Burkett of the Worcester club
coming to the Hub especially to induce
President Taylor to give him the little
Frenchman back. This practically cleans
up Donovans list of extra men.
Billy Hamilton was caller at the Bos-
ton National League office and the infer
ence is that Billy was on the lookout for
possible bargains. 1t is not clear just
whom the Doves may decide to turn loose
to the minors, but in all probability the
New England League may be given
chance to develop one or two Dove re-
cruits who need little more seasoning.
Buster Brown, the pitcher secured from
the Quakers last season, has sent in his
signed contract. 1t was received yester-
day. At the same time word was received
that Davie Shean, the Boston National
second baseman, was ill with neuralgia
at his home in Arlington. The chances
are that Shean will be up and about in
few days.
