BLIZZARD KEEPS
TALENT AT HOME
Manager Bill Carney Nursing
a Crouch as Result of Mis-
cradle Weather.
ONLY ONE MAN ARRIVES
Over Dozen Who Were Due Had
Failed to Report at Noon
Expected Tonight.

Manager Bill Carney of the Islanders
is nursing a real crouch, and his
friends are sending out warnings to the
weather. man. Bill has reason for be-
ing gloomy. because it was today that
the real spring training of his team was
to commence. and there was no chance
for this with the snow flying. the Their
mometer below the freezing point, and
the wind bowling as though winter was
here to stay. Bills one consolation lay
in the fact that this weather can't con-
tinue Indefinitely, because the calen-
der shows that the warm balmy days
are on their way. Until they get here,
Bill and his squad of recruits, tryouts,
and old timers will toast their shins
before a fire and talk about what they
are going to do when they are able to
don their uniforms.
SCARED By WEATHER.
Apparently the weather had the eff
feet of frightening the Islanders into
remaining at home until the sun shines
again, for at reporting time this morn
ing only one of the new men had
shown up. This one was Joe Custer.
whose home is in Milwaukee. but who
has played on the coast for three years
past. Almost the entire squad was due
today, as orders had been sent out last
week to report this morning, and with
the instructions in most cases was the
necessary transportation. Those to
whom the orders were sent are: Fred
Fisher, Harle Wagner, Harry Lowell,
n,,ch nnh mn
ter, Marshall Comingor, Joe Slattery,
Walter Queisser, Otto Vogel. Frank
Lakaff, Ike Okker, Roy Snyder and
Harry Kelly. The latter two are as
yet unsigned because of disagreement
with the management as to their sal
airy.
oUTFIELDERS ARE DUE.
The management and the fans as
we'll are beginning to wonder who 1t is
that Jack Tighe of Seattle will send
here. according to the agreements
made when Tighe and Davidson were
given permission to sign with Owner
Dugdale there. In each case the Seat
tie management agreed to send two
outfielders here in exchange, but thus
far nothing has been heard from there
The deal whereby the Islanders are to
get two men for Manager Tighe's re-
lease was a verbal contract only, and
if Dugdale is not a man of his word he
might squirm out of his obligation. The
Davidson deal, however, is down in
black and white, and the two outfield-
ers ought TO be on their way here be-
fore long. Manager Tighe has prom
ised that the men he sends will be
good material, and until he is heard
from little will be done in making up
the Islander outfield.
WILL ADMIT NO SPECTATORS.
During the training season Manager
Carney has announced, except at exhi-
bition games, spectators will not be
admitted to the grounds. Manager
Carney believes that best results will
be gained from the training if there
are no fans present TO offer criticism

Tomorrow is expected to see the
Waterloo controversy that has kept
the Three-Eye league embroiled for
two months and that has attracted
the attention OF the baseball world,
finally settled. President B. B.
johnson of the American league and
President J. Lynch of the National
league will leave for Cincinnati to-
night and tomorrow they and Garry
Hermann, the three constituting the
national commission. the final court
of baseball, will take up the ques-
tion.
The issues involved are of the ut
most importance 10 the national
game, affecting the relation Of the
sport to the law of the land, and
will likely set a basis for future
rules. not only in the minors. but
in the majors also. Hence it is prop
er that the national commission take
some action upon them.
CONFIDENT HERE.
In the north end OF the Three-E Eye
circuit the outcome is awaited
with considerable confidence, all
the clubs being willing to abide
by the decision, whatever IT
may be. The southern end
of the league, which has not so far
won a point in this fight, is prepar-
ed for another setback and the an
nouncement has been made that the
four clubs backing Kinsella of
Springfield will nan UP their parks
rather than play in the same league
with Waterloo. President Tearney
made this statement 10 the Asso-
ciated Press in Chicago Saturday
night. at the same time announcing
a conference yesterday of the south
ern clubs at either Decatur or
Springfield for the purpose of plan
ming for a six-club league.
So far as Tearney's statements
are concerned not much dependence
can be placed in them That the
southern clubs will nail up their
parks and quit is known TO be purely
a blum. made for possible effect upon
the national commission. 1t is de-
sired to create the impression that q
decision at Cincinnati tomorrow IA
voring Waterloo will deprive Spring
field, Peoria, Bloomington and Dan
Vile, as well as Quincy. OF baseball
for the coming season. Nobody be-
lieves this for one moment and It
is likely that Tearney had some
loophole by which he could later
crawl out planned before he made
the remark. The three or four men
who are conducting this fight for
the southern clubs do not constitute
the real hackers OF baseball in the
four cities and before the business

The worst thing they can say down
south about the northern clubs is that
the latter played ii low down on them
when Waterloo was admitted to the
league. Whatever was done took
place in open meeting and if any
body was deceived 1t was his own
fault. Tearney has had charge of the
league records and no one has cues
