Has Capable Recruits.

Right with the club on the training
trip now he is CARRYING at least half
dozen recruits. if not seven Or eight,
who are capable of playing big league
baseball, and yet there's no place for
them to perform regularly with the
Cubs. Whether it would be better to
carry them as on-lookers for a year
or let them out to some good minor
league team is the problem the man
ager has to decide.
Chance fayors the latter plan and
would rather have these boys out play
ing ball every day in good league
like the American Association, for he
thinks they viii learn more baseball
in that way than b. sitting on the
Cub bench and watching he big stars
win games in the Nationsi league
Then there's the expense OF carrying
such a crew of bah PLAYERS, too, that
must be considered. SO it is likely
several of these young men will have
to go.
OF all the recruits who have been
with the Cubs on the training trir
there are six who have made strong
impression on Chance, and these sir
he hates to let go unless he can re
call them again for another year
Three or four OF them will stick sure
no matter whether they appear in q
single game in the National league al
summer.

Having half dozen baseball play
ers on the club that one can not
carry throughout the season yet which
one wishes to keep, is the problem
that the modern baseball manager has
to meet every year, and this was
never so strongly impressed upon F.
Chance, the peerless leader of the
Cubs, as this year.
For five years the Chicago champ
ions have gone along nicely without
thinking of recruits, for they had
utility men sitting on the bench year
after year who would have been star
PLAYERS on many big league teams.
But with the dropping out of few
of the regulars of the great Chicago
baseball machine. Chance felt it nee
essary to recruit his team this year
as he never did before.
Now he has half dozen active
Young men trying for positions, few
of whom are capable of replacing the
stars this year. Many of them show
marks of championship stuff that
'
or two, and what to do with these
promising young men is a problem he
must solve before the season opens.
There was rule in the National
league that limited each club to
twenty-five men by June l. That rule
was violated last year and the year
before with such holiness that it was
recalled. Chance could retain these
youngsters this year with no viola
ton OF league rules. but it would
mean the boys would be inactive for
whole season If the Cubs are to
win the National league pennant this
year or run even one. two, three,
Chance knows it means he must have
the old stars performing in their old
time form Throughout the year and
playing in the game day by day as the
season progresses.

cooney is WhlrIwind.

Phil Cooney. who has been nick
named Abe, is valuable becarse of
his smartness. He never missed any
thing in game of ball or in any
other line of operations. He's first
class fielder. He can get just about as
many balls as Joe Tinker now. But
hes not the hitter the veteran is and
lacks in experience. Still he's bet
ter than many big league shortstops
today. and me Cubs may need him
should Joe Tinker become such a
great actor that the stage would re-
quire all his time.
Harry Ball, who is working like a
Trojan in the outfeld, is another re-
cruit who brings up the problem. His
fielding is perfectly satisfactory. He
can go back on fly ball or come in
on it. He can throw and he's fast
on the bases

President Justice Received a Copy
From Secretary Farrell, Giving
story of the
Controversy.
AL TEARNEY's EVASION
Failed to Reply Directly When Farrell
Asked Decision of Office Would
be That of the
Board

The full text of the opinion of the
national board OF arbitration OF the
National Association of Professional
Base Ball Leagues in the Three-Eye
controversy was received today by
President NJ. E. Justice of the Central
Association.
The matter was first brought TO
the attention of Farrells' office in
telegram signed by President Al
Tearney dated March 16 in which he
said:
Prospects of settlement of ]. l. /
league controversy appear to be out
of question while the court injunc-
tions are in effect Bloomington, Pc
oria, Danville and Springfield desire
to form six club leagues retaining /
i i. name and classification and admit
Quincy and Decatur now open terri
tory. Northern clubs can do likewise,
Rock Island, Davenport, Dubuque and
Waterloo admitting Cedar Rapids and
Clinton, also open territory: or form
ten club leagues admitting Quincy and
Decatur to present circuit. Four south
ern clubs will agree to this PROPOSE
ton and l would recommend it, &C
ton to be taken at once
Secretary Farrell then asked Presi-
dent Tearney if the decision OF his
office would be decision of the Ma
tional Board and would be binding.
This question was twice put to Tear
4 y, dal on or
In connection with Farrell's review
OF the case the original agreement
Waterloo had with the l. l. !. league is
interesting. 1t follows:
That in. case said Waterloo Base
ball Association Ga corporation is adj
the said Three-Eye league that 4
snail guarantee an attendance of io.-
600 paid admissions for the baseball
season of 1910. Said Waterloo Base
ball Association further agrees that Ill
case it's membership is no longer de
sired by majority vote OF the Three-i
league members. that said Waterloo
association, after the 1910 season shall
relinquish all of its rights to member
ship in the said Three-I league, as
hereafter provided.
THAT the membership and players
OF the Waterloo Baseball Association
shall be purchased by the remaining
members OF the Three-I, or the city
selected to succeed Waterloo in the
following manner to-wit
The Waterloo association shall Sc
lect one member OF the arbitration
committee, the Three-T league shat
4 select one member OF the arbitration
committee and these TWO in case the,

member Of the committee, and tbs
findings of this committee shall be ac
cepted as final by the parties inter
ested as above mentioned
TO guarantee the performance o
the conditions aud Obligations of tn.
foregoing proposition the Waterloo as
sociation will furnish security in sucl

The national board concurred witt
the decision OF court in holding thu

Probable Berth for Griffin.

OF the pitching recruits, Mr.. Griffin
of Georgia has made good impress
sion on the club heads. too, ard is
practically sure Of a JOB. He hasn't
shown the speed and curves that
Toney has, bu' he's shown deal OF
baseball sense along with plenty of
physical prowess. He's scrapper,
game young fellow, who has nothing
limiting of yellow in his makeup,
and it's men like that who make good
in war and baseball.
Jimmy Doyle, who has been quietly
but continually hammering at the door
to get the third base job on the Cubs,
is making good because OF his persist
ence and smartness as much as for
any physical attributes he has shown.
He's a ball player from head to toes,
and such man sometimes is needed,
even though he can't always hit 800
and run the bases like Ty Cobb. DOYLE
is a young man, not more than 2S.
He's physically strong and mentally
bright, and such as him are needed in
the National league today.

others of such value. Toney might
turn out to be "bloomer" and not
able to hold job in class A league

on that possibility that Chance and
