Joe McGinnity, of the Newark
team, is evident from the fact that the
Iron Man" has asked for waivers on
several of his players, according to the
latest information gathered around the
circuit.
Because waivers have been asked on
certain players. however, ii does not
necessarily imply that they will be
sold or released. Asking waivers is
often done as a "feeler' to determine
which of the rival clubs would like to
nail a man. If such a club puts in a
bid and has players to be used dvan-
ia geously to both clubs a deal DIS often
the result.
1t is probable that Joe McGinnity in
tends to make several trades in an
effort to get a winning combination.
According to an exchange, Jack Dunn
is anxious TO repurchase Jimmy Prick
for a utility infielder. A story was cir
culated at the winter meeting of the
Eastern League last year to the effect
that Dunn had wanted Prick, but KEEL
ley sold him to Newark without con-
sulting Dunn.
One of the problems with which the
Iron Man" is now wrestling is a good
man to hit fourth in the batting order.
Jack Kelly is now hitting his old
stride and Is the logical man.
Jack Dalton belongs at the top of the
list because of his all around ability.
He can bunt or hit it out equally well,
and he can wait" out a pitcher, too
His speed will enable him to get
around the patch pretty fast. Kelly
batted fourth most of the time last
season, and was the best pinch hitter
on the team. Johnny Nee, who has
played third in the Central League III
the past, made a good showing at that
bag yesterday, and will probably be
kept there.
George Boice, the Irvington boy, was
a spectator at the game yesterday and
was seen in consultation with the "IroI
Man. 1t would be no surprise If the
Newark manager decides to give
George a trial. On Sunday Boice let
the he~avy-hitting Ironside team, looked
upon as one of the best semi-pro teams
hereabouts, down with one dinky lit
tie scratch hit, and shut them out while
pitching for the Newark Athletics
Boice is in fine condition now, and a:
he was born here his work in the eli
mate should agree with him better thai
on the coast. .
Providence took the first game yes
terday of the series, or rather Newarl
gave it to them on errors. The score
vas S to Z, the Tigers barely failing tc
tie It up in the ninth.

Newark has been losing right and
left by one-run margins. Seventy per
cent. of the Tigers defeats have been
suffered because the Tigers scored one
run less than their opponents. Laven-

Manning was derricked in the sixth.
