big in the way of an announcement

ark fans at tho Eastern League sched-
ule meeting, TO be held in the Hotel

bet that 1t is concerning players.
Official notice of the transfer of the
Troy club to Larry Schlatiy and Charley
Dooley was announced at the New York
State League meeting held yesterday in
Albany. Despite the announcement
there has been no settlement between

ark club.
Joe McGinnity said this morning that
he had made his offer to Larry asking
for his release, which has already been
published, namely, to sign o second
secker who Is suitable to McGinnity.
Perhaps Larry has been waiting for
the State League meeting to be settled.
and he will see the Newark manager In

Very likely there will be no trades OF
any Importance. Most of the Eastern
managers got rid of their surplus play
ers at the December meeting. and any
who now wish to secur new material
will wait until the major league teams
get into training. There will be a gen
eral unloading Of players at that time.

Two months from today the Tigers
will be encamped In their training
headquarters at Lakewood and the
preliminary workout will be fairly nn-
der way. The plan at present Is To
have all the men report here around

ahead. as they like to renew acguaint-
ances before buckling down to the

issued to the players living west of
Washington that they were to go direct
to Danville, Va, but every one but
Benny Meyer came through to Newark.
Bob Ganley did not go on any spring

was on the reserve list of the Athletics.
