From a stan correspondent.l

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 25.-Just
th~irty-one games are left for decision
on the Newark Clubs schedule. The
season now has less than a month to
run, for one month from yesterday,
Sunday, September "A, 10 be exact, will
be the farewell day of the 1911 season.
There will be no exhibitions his fall,
all Of the boys planning to get away
as soon as possible after the curtain
has been runs down.
II. Clay Smith, the Newark magnate,
spent yesterday with Joe McGinnity
arranging a list of names of the play
ers to be drafted by the Newark club
this fall. The principal needs for next
year will be catchers, a first baseman,
an inaelder for either second or short,
and another good pitcher. Cady goes
10 Boston, of course, and Agler TO the
Cubs. Bill Louden is almost certain
to be drafted.
None of the players names being
sought will be made public, of course,
yet it is known that Mr.. Smith has
been scouting in the "3-Eye" League.
Larry Schlafly, who was here yester-
day. also gave McGinnity a few tips
on New York State League material.
Then, too, the club has three men COM
ing from Chicago. Frank Swayne and
+. Jimmy Cleary will be recalled from
Erie, but Jenkins has been left on Billy
Gilbert's hands.
one who saw the Tigers just ave
months ago at Lakewood and March
%, the day they went into training,
and then looked at the roster of the
club on the register of the CheItenham
Hotel here, would scarcely recognize
the team.
OF all that squad the only regulars
left are Agler, Cady and Louden.
Kelly did not go to Lakewood. Fol-
lowing is a list of the whereabouts
of the team at present: Bob Hall,
Wilkesbarre; Jimmy Frick, Troy; Cy
Parker, Atlantic City; Bob Ganiey,
managing a semi-pro team when last
heard from; Hughey Hearne, playing
semi-pro ball in Troy; Cleary and
Swayne, at Erie; Browne at Winston
Salem; Jack Gull, pitching semi-pro
ball around Danville, Pa, when last
heard from; Rankin johnson, York,
and Johnny Nee, at Terre Haute. This
does not include the numerous players
tried out since then, such as Reams,
Nebinger,s Speary, King, G.. Manning
and fifty-seven other varieties.
Truly, the original squad has been
scattered In the direction of the four
winds. N~ewarkers will not get an
other opportunity to see Carlo this sea-
son. Carlo will leave the Tigers at
Toronto tomorrow for his home In Chi
cago. He will be kept on the reserve
list. The Kid asked a chance to pitch
a farewell game tomorrow, but It is
doubtful if he'll get another chance.
Carlo continues to be q live-wire and
a constant source of merriment. He
had trouble yesterday at noon with
the menu card and called on Collins for
aid. Bill found that the Chicago kid
was looking at the program of musical
selections to be rendered by the or
chestra.
With the season rapidly drawing to
a close the all-star series at the close
Of the season is being discussed. Here
is a popular team picked by some of
the Bengals to oppose Rochester: Jor-
dan, first base; Rath, second base;
Louden, shortstop; Bradley, third base;
Kelly, left field; Perry, ntre field,
and Hanford, right field. No pitching
selections were made, but Dygert, Du-
buc, Brennan and Lee or McGinnity
are favorites. Egan and Cady rule
the popular c%atchers, but only two
men can be picked from each team and
1t will be a tough proposition. The
team mentioned above could hold its
own In either of the major leagues.
