- ROM tomorrow on Newark fans
will get baseball news that is
real. In the morning all the
Tigers that are in town will leave for
Danville, Va, to get into shape for the
season. All winter the fans lave been
asking themselves and everybody else
What kind of team McGinnity is to have
this year. Now it is asked with more
determination.
If McGinnity makes good his claim
that he'll get a major league catcher
and a couple of new pitchers and a
new first baseman to replace Bud
Sharpe, there is no reason to imagine
that the team will not do as well as
last year. Whether they will win the
rennant is another matter, because
"Bountiful'' Charles T. Chaplin, and
Spend Money Camel, of the Roches-
ter Club, must be considered. Mr..
Chaplin is a rich man, who is SO nxiou
to have a WHINE that he'll spend al
most anything, and Camel is just as
eager to spend Chapin's money to make
good himself. It's pretty hard to beat
that combination. There isn't another
club in the league that can compete
with them in the matter of spending
money for players. We all remember
that it was the acquisition of Ragon
last year at a good price at the fag
end of the season that saved Roches-
terls mutton. At the present time, in
the writer's way OF thinking. it is the
Rochester team the pennant winner
Will have to beat.
Clarence Wagner, the former High
School player, has signed a contract to
play with the Trenton Tri-State League
team.
Clarence is to play the infield. He
ought to make good, as infield work is
his natural inclination, and he's a good
hitter. Very few young fellows have
started In the Tri-State League with
more experience n ability.

That sixty days suspension handed
out to Mel Sheppard is surely a joke.
The question was, did Sheppard de-
mand none enough to have him
classed as a professional -masquerading
as an amateur? There were only. two
things left open for the Military Ath-
letic League, and that was either to
say Sheppard was guilty or not guilty.
To suspend the athlete for sixty days
puts the 'odium of the whole affair

John Dots Miller left Newark last
night for Pittsburg, where he will meet
the other members of the team, who
will leave shortly for Hot Springs.
