ielder. signed by Jack Dunn a week

iork State League, a signed Henry,
Who had played with the Bloomsbury
hub, of the Independent Susquehanna
League, last year, before Jack Dunn
,ot his signature.
Arthur Brown, the former Newark
lrst basen1an. will cover first again for
Nbany, according to reports. Brown

lrk. but failed to hit after the pitchers
.ot going.
The Chicago Nationals will play a
wo weeks series of games at New Or
ans with the Southern League team,

Clark Griffith, manager of the Gin
cinnati National League team, has been
indulging in a little speculation as to
tho order in which the National League
clubs will finish the coming season.
He says Chicago and Cincinnati will
fight It put for first place. New York
will finish third and Pittsburg fourth.
Fred S~nodgrass is the only Giant who
has not signed for the coming season.
John Ganzelhas signed a pitcher named
Bernie Maurer, of Syracuse. Bernie
was q star withsthe A. ]. and G.. League

Baseball men who predict that Con-
ME Mack's staff of pitchers Will have
gone to pieces by Decoration Day be-
cause Plank Is slipping and Bender
car hardly hope to equal his record
of last year, do not take into consid-
Grafton the fact that the astute Con-
ME has picked up IL or two new
pitchers who are due to win one or two
games for the Mackmen. Fol instance,
Lefty Russell. the ex-oriole. Cy
Morgan is due. too. One of Mack's
principles is to keep youngsters capa-
BILE in every way to fill In as soon as
a vet shows a sign of slipping.
Chicago fans and Eastern League
fans. too. are hoping that Hugley
Duffy ana his White Sox viii make
a better showing his year than last.
Duffy certainly pulled off a good one
when he got Andy Mcconnell for sec
ond and Harry Lord FOR third from
Boston. These two men left an awful
hole in the Boston Red Sox infeld
Last year this time Boston was looked
upon as a sure contender, which the
Red Sox were. This year the outlook
is most glum In Hubtown. As to
Hughey Duffy, he now has three of the
infielders who played under him at
Providence. Lord, Blackburne and
Mcconnell make a nifty trio.
Ed Walsh and Addie Joss, two of the
American Leagues greatest pitchers,
will leave the East for Hot Springs
within a week oNten days. Neither
was as effective as usual last year, and
both desire to gets an early start
Charley Ebbetts has promised the
Cubans to bring his Dodgers on a tour
at the close of the National League
season, providing the Brooklyn Club
finishes In the first division.
