FEW YOUNGSTERS
HAVE GOOD TESTS
Only Seventy-nine Recruits
Kept Out Of Nearly 400
Secured Last Fall
AMERICANS HOLD
MOST OF THE LOT

OF the 2s6 minor league players
who we're purchased, drafted and
taken back under optional agreements
by the Is big league teams last fall.
only 10 have stood the acid test and
of this number a dozen or more will
probably find their way back into the
minors before another month is past.
Last fall was a record breaker when
it came to frantic efforts on the part
of the big leaguers to strengthen the
weak spots in their line-ups. A small
army of players was purchased while
an unusually large number was draft
ed later on. In addition, there were
several players out under optional
agreements who we're recalled.
Cleveland has retained more young
sters than any other club i'm either
of the major circuits. Cleveland, how
ever, was wedding out lot of veter-
ans and naturally cast its net for
more youngsters than any of its
rivals. Consequently, 35 players were
taken from the minors and of that
large number, II survive, while one
other, Catcher Nunamacher is with
Boston in the American. Six is the
most any other club kept that being
the number of recruits that managed
to stick with Detroit, Boston, Wash
ington, st. Louis and Philadelphia Ma
tionals. Pittsburg has seven new
men, but four of them were tried last
fall.
The Boston and New York Ma
tionals landed the fewest live wires
among their recruits. Boston retain
ing only Wilbur Goode, while Catcher
Hartley is the only youngster that
McGraw has hung on to. The Cubs
drew in nets with q youngsters, but
of that large number only a few are
now in the National League.
The percentage of drafted players
kept is very small, only 16, including
some doubtful quantities, being car
ried at the present time. The Ameri-
can League players who were drafted
last fall are Blanding, of the Maps
George and Hallimam, of st. Louis:
Bodie and Choinard, of Chicago: Rig
CERT, Killalay and Nunamaker. of Bos-
ton, and Williams, of New York
Nineteen players taken back on op-
hons were kept. II i'm the American
and in the National Consequently
tt payers WuO we're purchased DllOT
to the draft have maanged to stick
in fast company for the first six weeks
of the campaign.
A fairly good team could be formed
of Youngsters in either of the two
leagues For instance, the American
lineup would be as follows:
Land. Fisher, Smith. Blair. Ainsmith
and Nunamaker, catchers; Gregg,
Krapp, West, Kaler, Lively Laftte
and Covington. pitchers: Gamer. first
base; Cunningham, second base: OIL
son or Yerkes, shortstop; Elliott,
third base; Jackson, Bodie. Riggert.
Mclean, outfelders.
II would be rather difficult to form
a team of National League recruits,
as the majority of those retained are
pitchers. The best aggregation, how
ever, would be: Keefe. Toney, Stegle,
Alexander, pitchers; Hartley. catch
er; Hunter, first base; Esmond, sec
ond base; Jimmy Doyle shortstop;
Ingerton, third base: Kaiser, Goode
and Carey, outhelders.

Some y
Chick
Pick-Ups

Ouch. again.
Too nifty for us.
Bells was out of the game.
Murphy covered third. Baxter first.
and Brent center. Some shift.
OF course Freddie Weeks led In the
hitting.
Tony ripped of double.
We don't understand why Altoona
should insist on coping the first
one.
Some hitting for the Chicks in the
fifth. Won't you repeat
Altoona hit hard enough to get
more runs, but sharp fielding cut them
off.
The second round today
Bill Coughlin gave Jack Bsstian
and $3.50 in cash so he could get
away from the Chicks. Now Bastian
is slated to be let go.
President Carpenter has released
Umpire Alloway and is on the look
out for man to take his place.
Joe Myers has his second lease of
life. Joe appears to be the only fling
er whom Selbach can depend on.
The Philadelphia North American
says; ''Northrop, the Reading Tri-
state pitcher, looks like good major
league investment. Look him over,
scouts"
Manager Selbach, of Harrisburg,
is making an effort to strengthen his
team. What Selbach wants badly is
pitchers. Polchow, secured from the
New York State League. did not
make much of an impression in his
first game.
Harry Fritz is making all the League
second basemen take notice.
Cassidy's new man will come from
school team.
Speed" Collins, who has been with
the Trenton team since the opening of
the present season, has been released.
Still the umpiring continues very
bad. There isn't a club in the league
that isn't getting the worst of all de-
cisions.
"Old Bill" Keister is playing as good
a game as ever, but everyone knows
Bill never was a New York league has
been. That explains it all.
President Carpenter has released
Umpire Alloway, and he asked Coach
Cooper. of the Millersville Normal
school. TO help out temporarily.
The Reading Telegram errs when it
says Bill Clay has been 'in the Tri-
State longer than any player since the
league started" Go back into ancient
history and you'll find that Curt Wei
gand has him beaten by year for
continuous service in this league.
Altoona is hard up for pitchers Just
now. Scott and Welsher being the
only men in shape. At one time II
looked as though Hank Ramsey had
the best pitching staff in the league,
The time for hasbeens in the Tri-
State is over. The league would do q
lot better by getting younger players
II would require time and patience Il
polish up the young fellows, but When
this is done the league will have
players who are coming and will bring
good prices and not have a bunch OF
fellows who are going back. This is
not a slap at any club in particular
but it's logic in the fullest sense. AL

Sporting Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL: VIII you please inform a
Wilmington fan and reader of your
breezy column If a baseman is cred
ited with an error when he drops a
throw from the catcher in trying to
get base-runners? There has been
much argument on this point in our
section of the city. and ] have been
requested 10 ask you to explain the
matter in THE JOURNAL. J. H. S.
The scoring rules have been made
very definite on this point recently
and now read thus:
"In the event of a palpable muf
of a ball thrown by the catcher, when
the base-runner is clearly blocked,
the infielder making the muff shall be
charged with an error, and the base
runner SHALL NOT be credited with
a stolen base"
This rule makes a sort OF umpire
out Of the scorer, for II IS now within
his province TO say whether or not
runner would have been out or safe
in the event of the baseman having
caught the ball.
However, scorers have been eau
toned about being absolutely certain
that the base-runner would have been
called safe" had there been no muff
on the part Of the baseman.
