SNAPPY BASEBALL NOTES INSPIRED
 BY THE MEETING

One hundred iron men to be turned over tc the pennant winning club at the end of each season. as against twenty-five SeeGS in the past. It's rather early to make predictions. es- pecially as the other managers have not really announced their team as
 vet. but it can be said in all frankness
 that at the present time it does look
 ike Gene McCann for that rag. Pretty soft for the newcomer to be the first
 to fall into the $1oO.
 Manager Gene made quite a hit with
 his Beau Brummell stuff. Whatever com binatien is decided upon. the fash ion plate of the Connecticut circuit has them all lashed to the mast. Jerry Connell. who is second only to
 Hi Ladd among the Nutmeg forces. travelled all the way from Winsted to attend the meeting and also to shake the hand of his boss. George Cam eron Jerry is again to be the cap
 tain@of the White Wings. will play the outfield. and will also take a shot at catching. He'll be there with the
 rough stuff also when it is needed. Owner Cameron announced that he knew enough about baseball himself now. and would this year take flyer at managing his team.
 
 Cameron calls particular attention to his outfield Pop" Foster. Frank ''Slugger'' Burke. and Jerry Connell. A rather classy bunch of clouters. sure to throw a scare into many young pitcher but not the fastest fielding bunch in the league. Hi Ladd would be a 100-1 shot at. racing home from third with either Burke or Foster, winging the pill to the plate.
 
 Cameron thinks well of his last sea- sons team: you can't blame him, and
 will have most of them back in the spring. Clyde Waters is returned from Holyoke, to which team he was loaned last season: "Kid'' Sherwood, the local youngster. whom Manager Gene would dearly love to get hold of. will again scramble around the dizzy
 corner; Tony Pastor, the funny little fellow with the glass wing. will again be at second; while Higby has been secured from the Memphis Southern League club to replace Honest John
 Bunyan at first base; the pitchers to
 return are Reisigl. Dent. Foster and ing to be filled is shortstop. in which place Cameron will have his troubles | in seeuringy man as good as Roger Peckinpaugh. easily the best short
 field man in the league last season.
 
 I.arks. and his able lieutenant Jim mic Burns. ambled into the meeting. coming all the way from the Silver City They had a nice little talk with Owner Gil Edwards. Luby made the claim that though he is somewhat round his weight is evenly distrib- uted. and that he can run faster than any big man present He was told that he could run better on the field than at the polls Bill was a candi- date for Representative on the Demo- 1 cratic ticket in Meriden at the last election. He finished just about where the Bridgeport team used to 1 finish before Gene McCann took hold. l Chief of Empires Kennedy was also at the meeting. The Bristol barber stated that his staff was practically completed and that he was waiting to | hear from Paul Sternberg. who made such a hit around the circuit in 1909. ] He has offered a place on the staff to Sternberg. If the latter accepts he will round out the four. The others
