ROCHESTER,, N. Y, May 14.-Joe Nc
Ginnity deserted the Tigers in the Silly
night on a mysterious hunt for some
pitchers. Where Joe will go or whom he
expects to land is not given for publica-
tion, because publicity might hurt his
chances of landing his man.
Harry Smith will have full charge of
the Tigers during Joes absence. 1t was
decided to pull stakes here tonight instead
of laying here tomorrow, which is open
on the Newark calendar. The Tigers will
arrive at Montreal tomorrow at 11:30
O'Clock and will by the new arrangement
have a full days rest before tackling
the Royals.
President ]. ]. I.illis, of the Jersey
City Club, was in town today and ap-
peared to be somewhat worried. He de-
clined to discuss the Agler deal Lillis
is also looking for pitchers and said he
would take Bumpus Jones back for the
waiver price if CAMEL wanted to sell
him.
II is understood that Rochester has
asked waivers on Joe Ward, who is just
now hitting .27S. The clubs must cut
down - twenty men by tomorrow In the
International League.
Jersey City has sold outfielder Wheeler
to Kansas City, which also got Bob Coul-
son.
Elliott Dent as winning pitcher has a
unique record. He has never played on
first division team, though he has always
won more games than he has lost and up
to last Wednesday, when Seymour threw
out a runner at the plate Dent declares
he never had an outfielder behind him
who accomplished the trick of catching
a runner on a single to the outfeld or
scoring from third on a fly ball. This is
indeed a unique record for pitcher who
has been in the professional game for five
years.
Dent says he won twenty-one games
and lost seventeen for New Haven last
year, and the team finished sixth He
says that six of his defeats were 10
games which makes his record the more
wonderful Dent is modest about his
success with the Tigers and attributes a

Young Knrtz, who will meet Frank
I,oughery of Philadelphia. at the Elev-
enth Ward Athletic Club Morris Park,
next Friday night, is doing his training
in the open at the club grounds on
rloomfield avenue Yesterday he took
with him several OF the lads who work In
the preliminaries and ran around the
trock covering n distance OF about seven
miles
Some Of tine boys were mighty ured'
but Knrtz seemed to Ike the run. lie
then put on the gloves and boxed three
fast rounds with Young Stanzo and two
rounds with Young Gradwell. After his
work he went home to bed. This shows
that Kurtz gives Ioughery much credit,

Search for Mound Men

great deal of the credit to Harry Smith,
whom he declares is the best catcher he
ever worked with.
Dent says that some of the big league
catchers with regulations are responsible
for more young pitchers falling to make
good than any other one cause. '..Some
catchers with regulations" says Elliott,
"are always looking out for themselves.
If man steals base they blame the
pitcher. If a man gets hit, instead OF
trying to steady the pitcher, they call him
and if he passes a batter, l have known
some catchers to rave. Harry Is coaxing
and coaching his pitchers all the time
and If he had been behind the plate In
the first game l pitched at Jersey City
would have won it as sure as mud is
mud
Dent was reared on his fathers farm
on the shores of the Potomac river in
Maryland and he broke into the game as
pitcher when 16 years old, with nearby
military academy. "The folks ut home"
says Dent, think the Baltimore Inter
national League club is the strongest
team in the world They think that the
International is a faster league than the
majors, and when Brooklyn picked me
up for the frst time they all said: Why
don't you try to get in the Eastern
League with Baltimore?' II can beat
the Orioles, I'll be a bigger star than
Matty or any of them in the home folks
estimation"
There being nothing else to do yesterday
the boys sat around spinning yarns BIZ
Collins came along with tall one about
a cross-eyed batter who struck out when
the pitcher pegged the ball to first base.
Robert Holmes, or, otherwise. "Ducky,
who has been on the Tigers roster since

| George Boice to the locals. but Manager
McGinnity turned him loose. The lr'
vington lad is now a free agent and can
sign with whom he pleases. The local
! club wanted $500 for him but Ramsey
refused to pay that sum.

Two National Turner boys, Young Salz-

Wednesday, when he will come to New

Lougbery finds 1t hard to get boys to
work out with on account OF his rough

tlse real battle. This is hard on the
boys and makes them afraid. Besides

which brings together Irish" Mahon
