BARR0Ws LEAGUE
American Leaguers' Saginaw
Farm Not Fast Enough to De-
velop Major League Players,
so Navin Is Said to Be After
One of Four Eastern League
Clubs.

Frank Navin, president of the Detroit
Club, is hot after an Eastern League
franchise, The Tigers farm in Sag
NAV, Mich. Is not fast enough for
development purposes, n Hughey
Jennings advised Boss Navin to try his
luck on Newark, Montreal, Jersey City
and Providence. If Navin got one OF
these clubs he may place Malachi
Kittrldge or wild Biz Donovan in
charge as An intimate friend
of Hughey Jennings was in the city
recently and was spotted by several
of the Tigers.
President Barrow seems to have
adopted a Johnson's plan of work.
ing his Jumps in permanent pairs.
Murray and Killen, Byron and Doyle.
KERN and Hart and Halligan n
Wright are the combinations.
o
Cy Parkin tunped down several offers
to sign a contract for the balance of
the season and left today for Atlantic
City. He will pitch for the resort boys
several times a week and pick up some
easy coin and enjoy the ocean breezes
and baths. Cy will likely get into ac-
ton in the game at Ocean City to-
morrow.
There was no kick about the balls
yesterday. It's time Umpire Killen put
an end to such foolish wrangling. The
fans don't like it.
Louden, Dalton and Kelly made
Beef" Mitchell look like a piece of
cheese yesterday. The trio stole the
middle sack standing up. with yards
to spare.
1t was Charley Smiths fourth straight
win. He's the best pitcher McGin-
nifty has" was the comment of the fans
yesterday. Under fire he is at his best.
D.
Osborne had a great day of It, His
thefts of hard wallops by Agler anu
Kelly were greater than circus stunts.
Wilhelm pitched good ball, but his
only pass was costly. What do We
care? Neither does Camel!
o
Joe kelley's sluggers we're helpless
before Jack Doescher yesterday. Jack
! Ryan's men made thirteen hits and
fourteen runs
Roach. Dolan. Wheeler and Abstein
found Rudolph easy picking. Jack
Butler smashed out four bases.
-
Hi Perry faced Barberich FIVE times
yesterday n tripled, doubled and sin
oiled He caatfrad a na " ~ th1 1offor
.
Gillespie, with three errors, and
Jakey Atz. with two, beat southpaw
Pierce yesterday.
It's only a rumor, but they say Arthur
Devlin will succeed Jack Ryan. Ryan
is all right. If the skeets got a good
start and had less mishaps they'd be
up in fourth place now. The Pests
ought to finish well at that.
@
Jimmy Cleary pitched a n~o-hit-no-run
game against Newcastle a few days
ago and famed eleven. Erie won, 10 to
0. Only two reached first base, one on
an error and the other or a pass.
Charley Schuman, who pitched for
NeWdTh once upon Il time, is now WITH
Guelph, In the Canadian League.
o
Buddy Muth, let out by Baltimore to
# Wilmington, is out of the game with
a bad wrist. A batted ball caught him
higher h a his glove and he may be
!, out for some time.

SHELTERS HUMBLE LEAFS AGAIN.

The Shelters made it three out of
Jour from the Maple Leafs by winning
yesterdays game in Jersey City by the
overwhelming score of IA runs to i.
Miserable fielding by the visitors
caused the contest to develop into a
farce and their misplays, combined with
the Shelters hart hitting. made the
victory easy for the home team. The

have none of II. though 1t was a big
success in England, with the polite

The bridegroom and his bride were
starting ON their honeymoon. Just AZ
they had taken their seats in the train
one of the bridegroom's chums came
hastily along to bid him goodby.
As the young husband extended his
hand the friend snapped a handcun
on his wrist. The groom had been
expecting a trick of some kind. and
before the practical Joker could play
a similar trick on the bride he found
the other bandcun snapped around
his own wrist. He was chained to
the happy bridegroom himself!

stop for the next Hfty miles. Before
that, however, the porter. with the aid
