John Camel Expects Much OF
Capable Campt0wn
Twirler.

@HUBBY MANSER. the Irvington
pitcher, who has been q success
with the Jersey City Club for the
last two years. and will have a chance
to perform In pastures new this sum-
mer, a signed with the Rochester
Club. MRnser had an opportunity TO
talk matters owe with Manager John
Camel. of the Hustiers, at the New
York meeting of the National League
on Monday. and was satisfied with the
terms of the document presented to
him.
Manser had a wonderful record last
year. In only three games did no allow
moro than three runs to be scored
of his delivery. and he was most eff
fective against Newark and Roches-
ter. That is one of the reasons why
Camel war 80 anxious to obtain the
li~ght-haired Camptowner. With n
champion team Manser ought to burn
the league up, as he Yves a winner with
the tail-enders.
Catcher Mitchell, whose real name is
Yapp, is one of the few Hustlers who
has not signed. Mitchell did not care
10 come back TO the Eastern n de-
mands a big salary. Politics in tho
New York Club is what queered
Mitchell with the Yanks. During the
OFF sec the catcher is advance
agent for a theatrical company.
Hack Simmons, the heavy-h1tting
Hustler, and Red Spencer, the Roches-
ter ~frst-eacker, attached their sigma
lures to contracts yesterday.
More trouble for Eastern League
scribes. Providence has signed a
busher named Matt Doyle, who caught
q few games for Lawrence in the New
England League, and later drifted to
the semi-pros. It will be fun reading
that Doyle and Doyle was the battery
for the Providence Club yesterday"
SLOW Joe being the other Doyle.
Jimmy Collins is now in Providence
getting ready for another campaign.
President Charley Chaplin. Of the
Rochester Club. is in Albany doing his
best to get the McGrath Sunday base
ball bill passed. Chaplin is at the head
OF a big oar-wheel industry and is
many times a millionaire. He has
many political friends and the outlook
for Sunday ball In New York State
looks more and more rosy.
Tom Downey, the Cincinnati in1eld-
CT who was sought by Toronto. Jersey
City and Rochester. will probably be
traded 20 Chicago for Pitcher Foxen,
the former Skeeter hurler.
Baltimore scribes are at odds over
the story that Pitcher Sam FroclS
would go to Baltimore. Frock is q
hold-out from the Boston Nationals,
and IL is claimed that waivers were
asked to scare him. Several big league
clubs would not let him go without a
trial.
Jimmy slagle may stay with the
Orioles after all. He has been boiling
out at Hot Springs and is in excellent
shape.
The Providence Club received the
contracts of four players last week
They were from Slow Joe Doyle, who
winters In Clay Centre, Kan; Edward
Clarke. a Chicago semi-pro pitcher;
James ]. OFT, an inielder from Platts-
burg. O., and Charles Meehan. the for
mer Seton Hall ~frst-sacker.
Sherwood Magee, the heavy-hittins
outieIder of the Philadelphia Nationals
who led the National League In batting
last season, is in Sleeptown ready tc
talk about the terms of his contract fol
the coming season. He has been hold
ing out for q raise.
Ducky Holmes. the Rochester slab.
smith, is studying to become a car
toonist when his playing days are over
He uses Big George Mcconnell, Of the
Hustler staff. and Benny Meyer, OF the
Tigers. as a theme quite often.
