Doc Mover, one of the pitching recruits
Of whom much is expected this season,
and c. l.. Conway. the Youngstown out
fielder, and John Henry were among the
| arrivals this morning, bringing the total
number of players who have reported TO
Manager McAleer up to seven.
Moyer. who worked in but two games
last season. both of which he lost, though
he pitched brilliantly, is expected to
make coed with a vengeance this spring.
Manager McAleer believes that he will be
the first one of the pitchers to round into
form. The fact that he is younsster
who had good rest last fall and has IL
peculiar delivery fits him. according to
McAleer to do a let of the early work
Unlike most young pitchers, Meyer does
net rely on his natural ability when he
pitches. He is wise to the art and uses
good judgment, fact which has made a
most favorable impression with McAleer
Conway is IL huskily built chap who Is
confident that he will make all the others
hustle to keep him out of a regular place.
Eddie Ainsmith and Pitcher Sherry,
whose real name is Shuerholz, Joined
Gessler, Ralston and Corbin yesterday.
John Henry, looking no different than
he did when he left here last fall, was
busly engaged digging out his old bats
this morning. Henry, who has spent the
winter at Amherst College, is in good
condition, having put in several hours
day in the gymnasium there He assured
Manager McAleer that he will hit this
year and that lie is Wiling to remain as
a catcher take chance at becoming
first baseman.
Capt. Mcbride informed Manager Nc
Aleer this morning that 1t would be ad-
visable to allow his squad to remain at
the springs until Monday, which Will
give the players there an opportunity to
take the regulation twenty-one baths.
1t seems that there is a superstition that
If you take more or less of these baths
they are worthless. McAleer wired Nc
there until Monday, which will bring them
into Atlanta Tuesday.
Manager McAleer expects to use twenty
dozen balls during the teams stay at
Atlanta. He has expressed that number
to the training camp and figures that II
will require close vigilance on his part to
make them last during the time the
team is in the south.
For the next few weeks the young
players will be in the foreground. The
fans are well acquainted with the ability
of the old players, and it is but natural
that most of the energies of the scribes
shall be directed to telling about what
the youngsters are doing.
Furthermore, the youngsters furnish
more opportunity for write-ups. The old
players do not let themselves out during
the early stages of the training. while the
average youngster who is down for a
trial works his hardest right from the
outset sometimes to his sorrow.
IF Clyde Milan had to bat against Chief
Bender all season he would lead the
league with hundreds of points to spare.
remarked Mike kahoe this morning
clyde hit at So clip against Bender
last season. He seems to have the In
dian sized up right. In fact. the Washing
ton team made better average against
Bender than any of the other teams
The fact that the players who have
| been training at Hot Springs did not get
an opportunity to play in many games
was pleasing to Manager McAleer. He
sent the players to the health resort for
the benefit they could derive from the
baths and long walks, and was not at all
anxious to have them touch a ball too
often for fear that some of them would
injure themselves. He figures that they
will report to him a Atlanta ready to do
a whole lot of real work.
For pitchers those baths at Hot Springs
