nent figures In baseball to-day. He

In the season of 1908 he was manager
of Cincinnati and left there TO take
charge of Rochester. AS a. result of
his experience and work with the team
they were an easy pennant winner last
season. CAMEL says that his team
looks as good as ever and that he will
take the pennant again this year I'M
less something serious happens to pre-
vent.
Personally, Camel is a favorite, and
enjoys the respeofit OF all for his clean
playing His rebuke of the bleacher-
ties during Mondays game was an
indication that his heart Is in the
right place. Although he administer
ed severe drubbing to the locals. he
and his team will always be welcome
here during the training season.
The three try-out pitchers, Jackson,
Stone and Archer, who We're released
several days ago, have left for their
homes. Archer went to Tarrytown, \.
v. Stone to Drayden, Md. and jackson

An interesting exhibition game has
just been arranged for the Colts ana

Wednesday. Ward and Vokes. who
are putting on show at the Bijou

Titruan had his batting eye in Mon
days game, and 1t Is hoped that ne
will be able to continue hitting the
ball as he did In that game. His
triple in the sixth lining was one of
the longest drives seen at the park
this season. 1t passed the shortstop
at great speed and the left fielder
was unable to stop its progress to-
ward the fence in deep left.
Landgraff continues to hit the bail
hard. Charged with five times at bat
Monday, he secured two singles and
a stolen base. The other times up he
hit the ball. but could not place 1t
safe.
Irvien and Gilligan hit opportunity
and brought In the two runs scored
by the Colts. Irvine caught the game
very well, and though he was blamed
for allowing a runner to steal home,
II was really not his fault. The fault
in the play was in Gilligan, who. on
account of his bad wing. failed to
return the ball to Irvine in time to
catch the runner.
