from Mobile were false. There was q
certain play that came up in n OF
the closing games of the Montgom-
cry series in which 'Swats' displayed
considerable temper and after the
game declared he was through with the
town and the team. This, however.
the season closed the big fellow
stated that he had been we'll treated
by the fans of Mobile and that he
would like to play here again next
year, but that he considered himself
worth more money than the local club
would be willing to pay.
THE change is thoroughly agreeable
to Swacina. lie was anxious to land
in either the Eastern or Pacific Coast
League, and Newark fans will soon
be lauding him to the skies. He Ia a
good ball player, and his only fault is
that HI is too hard a loser. If he
could smile in the face of defeat, his
playing would be improved 90 per cent.
He Is always fighting hard to win, and
ever though he errs in losing his
temper, there is consolation in the fact
that his heart is always in his work.
ut is a safe bet that Swacina will
hit 800 in the International next sea-
son. = He will give Tim Jor-
dan a merry race for batting honors
up there next year. and he will make
some of those in1elders wish he had
stayed down South and spared their

success, and If he will curb his tenn

An interesting story for local fans
comes from Mobile. 1t shows how
Harry Swacina, the new Tiger first
sacker, was regarded In the South.
The real inside story of the affair is
that Swacina is possessed of the idea
that he has the markings of a great
and got in bad with Mike
Finn, the new Mobile leader, right off
the reel.
There was some question over salary
and Swacina, instead of answering a
letter directed to him by Finn, wrote
lengthy eplstles to the Mobile news
papers and succeeded in accomplishing
Jhis aim of getting away from the Mo-
bile Club.
The story continues:
THE question which has been upper
most in the minds of all local fans
since the close of last season has
finally been settled, and, in our opinion,
it is for the good of all concerned.
Harry Swacina will not be a member
of the 1912 Gulls. The big first base
man has been sold outright to the New
ark club. of the International League,
and will report to that club for spring
training.

OF conversation hereabouts was the
future of 'Swats.' 1t was a we'll
known fact that the club owners were
not altogether pleased with some of
his actions during the last two weeks
of the season and 1t was also known
to be a fact that while 'Swats' was
glad to be relieved of managerial duties
he was averse to parting with any
great amount of the salary which went
with the job. He informed Manager
Finn that he liked Mobile, its people
and the Southern League In general,
and hal he would be willing to play
under Finn. provided salary was salts

big fellow were much higher than a
club in this league can afford and there
was nothing left for Sir Mique 70 do
but sell him.

"The Tigers will take the field next
April exactly as they did last April"
says President Navin, of the Detroit
club, in denying the newspaper chat
ter about an impending shake-up in
Jennings's ranks. Even Davy Jones
will be back in left field. His long
rest seems to have completely cured
the ailment which put him out last
season, and he expects to have all his
old speed. While Delahanty is not
exactly an Eddie Collins. he is good
enough, so that it will take a mighty
smart youngster to get his job. The
same goes for Moriarity.
All those stories that have been
printed regarding friction among the
players and soreness between Jennings
and the players are wrong. Only one
mar was sore on Jennings, and that
was Schmidt. He's a queer fellow,
anyway, and no one paid any attention
to his crouch. least of all Jennings.
Some of the recruits were piqued be-
cause they thought they were not
given enough chance to work, but, as
far as the veterans were concerned,
they were all on good terms with the
manager. The stories that we wanted
to get a new manager were the silliest
of all.
at wasn't friction in the machinery
that lost the pennant to the Tigers
last year. IT was the loss of Gainor.
He was the cog hat we had needed
to fix the infeld right for two years.
He CAV the infeld the confidence that
inspired sharp and fast fielding, and
made the pitching job comparatively
easy. The minute he was put out
with a broken arm that confidence and
dash was lost and the team began to
