when full grown that even his daily

an ugly or dangerous mood.
The ostrich's chief object in life
seems TO be 70 fight on every possible

the very spice OF things.

that ne could not offer him dinner, as

declared, however, that he would be

Hoppner and the JOY Of Porson, who
soon finished It's contents, pronouncing

Newport is willing to play for sport

Newport is hard on Bellevue's trail
for the game. If Bellevue would play
a few more games off their grounds
Newport thinks they would be scored

That QuakerS Will
Come Here
TRENTON MAY SIDE
STEP GEORGE HECKER1

The baseball bug is becoming ac-
tive. Although many months inter-
vene before the opening OF the Tri-
State season. managers all over the
circuit are laying plans for big
year. Pete Cassidy was with Man
ager Doom in Philadelphia yesterday
and got the promise that half a
dozen Philadelphia utility men will
be sent here in the spring. This
means that Cassidy will have a big
field to pick his 1912 Chicks from.
Pete is also after a manager. He
feels that he cannot give the club Ills
entire attention next year and Is now
looking for a good man to hold down
his job. Next years Chicks promise
to be fast flock.
May Dust Heckert.
II is said in Trenton that next sea-
season the Trenton Tri-State Base
ball Club will have a new manager.
Several o' the largest stockholders IN
the club favor a playing manager,
which means that George W. Heckert
must go. While the past season was
a financial success there was appar
emily some dissatisfaction among the
stockholders. This, IL is claimed. was
due to the fact that a bench man.
ager was found TO be an expensive
luxury.
With player of experience, who
always possesses some executive
ability to look after affairs of the
club 1t Is figured that more money
can be made. Among the men men
toned for Heckert's job is Bert Conn
leader Of the Johnstown club; Lefty
Lloyd, the Tigers pitcher is after the
berth
On December / officials of the Al
toona club will have TO notify Presi-
dent Charles r. Carpenter whether
they intend TO remain i'm the league
next year OF whether they will offer
their franchise for sale. II is gener-
ally known that the present officials
and stockholders Of the association
are a little tired OF shouldering the
losses that followed the past two
seasons
Vic Willis Wanted.
Vic Willis the former Boston and
81 Louis pitcher, who was purchased
last spring for the Cubs and refused
TO report, Is wanted by an Eastern
League club and deal may be made
to convert a dead asset into a live
one. according to announcement made
by President Murphy Of the Cubs He
did not disclose the name of the club
that Is after Willis nor the nature of
the talent he hoped to secure in ex-
change for him. As Willis seems ia
be firm in his determination to re-
main home. the Cubs are not likely
to lose by the deal.
