w Dunn heavily for keeping the
Baltimore Club before the eyes
OF the Eastern League towns his win
ter. It is as much to the advantage of
the club to have its name constantly
before the furthermore so, In fact. as 1t
is for the newspaper TO print the news.
Dunn's latest move is to hire a box at
q Baltimore theatre for the benefit of
the Eastern League magnates, who will
be his guests at the schedule meeting
on February 6. Jim Corbett Will appear
in the show as interlocutor in a min
strel performance.
Joe McGinnity is realizing the advan-
tage of publicity, too, since Tom Martin
went away. Martin had some queer
ideas about giving out information.
For instance, q Buffalo newspaper
printed yesterday: The latest baseball
news yesterday at the local office Is
that the crops at %Stallings's farm are
doing fine" The fans like the news,
and 1t is up to the magnates to give 1t
to them to further their own ends.
Fred Beck may not go to Buffalo. be-
cause the Pittsburg and st. Louis clubs
will not waive OH him.. Clarke wants
him for first base. Beck broke in as a
sirst-sacker and was a heayy-hitter last
year, getting in ten honers. He is a
holdout.
After five years absence from the
ring Shadow Morris has come back
and says that he Is grand condition.
He has regained his old-tine confidence
since meeting Christy Williams at the
National last week. II have beaten
Kid Wilson twice" says Morris, and
] can beat him again, if he wants to
Fight. | ma have a match on with
Kid Henry at Albany on the 14th of
February. and have Others from clubs
in Boston and Pittsburg, but I can't
fight In Newark because I'm a special
cficer here"
Frank Rudderlam, a former Provi-
deace pitcher, who twirled his last
game for the Grays in 1898, has been
appointed to act as an umpire on the
Eastern League stan this year. Rud-
derham now lives In Providence and
spends his winters bowling, He nm-
pired in the Southern League last year.
At one time he was a member of I5ud-
SON River League umpire staff. He
pitched for Albany and Rome in the
New York State League.
Those who may have any doubts
about the force of Patsy Kline's blow
may well ask Ben Douglass. Ben told
the writer recently that Kline has a
harder punch thar that Of any welter-
weight he ever met, Shadow Morris
today said Patsy had the kick of a
weller weight. Attell will DO we'll
"stalling' with a lad like Kline.

TO enter our protest to you, the donors
of the cup for the baseball player maxi

County Baseball League. against the
awarding OF the trophy to any person
but the man who won 1t, Charles
Levine. Inc secretary Oh the CouAty
League has the record of Mr.. Levine's
batting, which shows that he has the

N award of your trophy. We know
you are in favor of clean sport, n as
a question of fairness in the award

be justified in awarding the trophy
yourselves to the real winner rather
than allow it to go to another on the
questionable technicality.
we are naturally interested In Mr..
Levine in our desire to see him receive
the trophy because he is q member of
