TOE KELLEY must have his heart
and soul on that Eastern League
y pennant judging from the manner
in which he is going out for players
He has been the most active manager
in the meeting at New York this
week. The latest is the announcement
that he has added Willie Keeler to his
staff Kelley had a good team last
year, but 1t was slow on the bases, and
his pitching staff was poor outside OF
Dick Rudolph, This year he has set
out to remedy these weak points. and
he has plenty of material from which
to make his f1nal selections.
That the Harvard Princeton football
game for 1911 is a reality il more than
pleasing to therf football fans who have
been hoping for such a game for years.
Judging from What Is happening
even at this date, the Eastern League
managers are more busy this ear than
they have been for years. Here are
just a few bits of news
The Toronto Club is spending the
money for players. Catcher Cocher.
from Detroit, Is the latest Toronto ac-
QUESTION.
John Camel is after several players,
he says. but the big league magnates
refuse to waive. Heinie Batch and
RUDE DeGroff were in New York yes
terday. DeGroff, who played with Jer-
sey City a few years ago, would like
to be back in the Eastern League. He

Bob Hall is finished In the Eastern
League. Not one manager wanted him.
Jack Dunn had a chance to get a
third-sacker from Detroit named
Lathers. but Lathers Is a left-handed
batsman. and Jack is guarding against
that prominent weakness Of the Orioles
last year. Jack Is one Of b most
popular managers in the Eastern
League for giving out news. He always
has something for the hungry
scribes. Jack gave a banquet to the
baseball writer's of his town before the
Eastern League conclave adjourned.
Ed. Barrow will put himself in solid
around the circuit If he adheres to tbs
determination to furnish Eastern
League papers with the news before
New York sheets. Mr.. Barrow could
have done nothing better IN the
leagues campaign to gain higher class
~ificaticn.
All success Is the wish Of the STAR
to Secretary Frank J. McTague. Of the
Tigers. His job Is not an easy one
but Frank should be UP to It, The
next thing you know Frank will be
dining the ecribes at one of h great
hotels In this city.
