DEVLIN SENT TO
BOSTON BY GIANTS
MANAGER Killing REFUSED TO
WAIVE ON VETERAN INF1EIID-
Err OF NEW YORK CLUB.

Arthur Devlin. who was the Giants
regular third baseman for several sea-
sons, has been released to Boston.
Devlin was utility infelder part of
last season, his place having been
taken by HerZog, who was obtained
from Boston. Devlin in 1908 led the
third sackers of the National League,
and he also played great ball in 1909.
Before entering the professional ranks
Devlin played at Georgetown.
President John M. Ward OF the Bos-
ton Club has been negotiating for
Devlin ever since he bought the club
last Fall. Manager McGraw refused
the team this Spring as utility in
fielder. Devlin is still young enough
to be good ball player, and will
probably get the third base berth on
the Boston Club.
During the Spring training period
Billy Hamilton, scout of the Boston
Nationals, went to Marlin and looked
over McGraw's kids. AS a result of
his inspection it is said that Boston
refused to waive on Arthur Bues and
several other youngsters who cost
McGraw money, but who are not
ready for the big league. Boston
should fill the bill. l
After a long and brilliant career
with the Giants, during which he was
hailed as one of the greatest third
basemen of all time, Devlin's legs
went back on him last season. Nc
Graw was out to win pennant, and
he engineered the deal which sent
Bridwell to Boston in return for Her.
zog, and put Devlin on the bench.

GIANTS DEFEAT YALE

The Giants ended their exhibition
season on the Polo Grounds yesterday
by taking both the fore and aft sec
lions of a double-header from Yale
The Giant veterans chastised the Eli
collegians in the opener to the tune of
to 2. while the rockies took the
measure of the Yale scrubs in the
second affair by a score of II to 8.
The New Haven college boys fielded
badly in both games, making thirteen
errors all told. On the other hand
the New York made only one error,
a tumble by lilly Shafer in the open
ing game. Bennett. the Yale second
sacker, played a great game in the
field. accepting nine chances without
a slip-up.
Scott pitched a fairly good game
for the Ellis, but had a momentary
loss OF control in the fourth, when
three passes. two errors and a hit
Melted the New. York regulars four
runs, which clinched the game. Scott
yielded only six hits, the same num-
Der as the Yalensians garnered off
WiItse and Crandall. Wiltse, however,
allowed only one of the Yale hits in
the five innings he was in the box,
Crandall yielding the other five in the
last four rounds.

(By Wagner.)
The hirelings Of Boss Mccain &c

The hirelings of Boss Mccain got
little practice at the expense of the
Black Rocks yesterday afternoon at
Newfield park and Walloped the
youngsters by 8 to g.. With the ex-
ception of the second inning the Rocks
performed we'll and gave the Me-
chanics a stiff argument. The Me-
chanics gathered IL hits from the de-
livery of Whalen and Klawberg.
Klawberg was very effective. He al
lowed but five hits, famed three and
did not pass a man. .Whalen was
swatted hard in the second when the
professionals punched three singles
and two doubles but in the other
three innings he worked he was good
Dick Tuckey went five rounds for
the Mechanics. The light haired kid
didn't put anything on the ball ex-
cept when he got in a hole but man
aged to whitewash the enemy and
hold them to three safeties He wriff-
ed four and passed one. Dixie Walk
er took up the job in the sixth. He
was tapped for three singles, hit a
man and. passed two. Dixie used
nothing but speed. The Rocks gath
cred their two runs while he was
working.
The contest gave the Mechanics re-
cruits chance to show their stuff
Dusty Roth and Buster Brown went
to the Quilted in the sixth Both
showed up we'll by getting two sin

to get anything but foul. Sam Har-

MARSANS AND AtMEIDA DO
NOT CARE FOR HERO STUFF
Former New Britain Players Refused
to Capture Lion.

The Cincinnati team of the Nation
al league is the only baseball club in
the major leagues which has a Gu
ban player on it's payroll. In fact,
there are two regular Cubans there
now with a promise of a third or a
fourth in a short time. Recently there
arrived in this country a correspondent
of one of the Antilles papers who will
travel with the Cincinnati team all
this season just to write up the games
in which Marsans and his fellow Gu
ban plays. However. Billy Phelon, the
baseball correspondent of the Cincin-

to get an interview out Of the foreign

declares Manager McCann.
Skipper Eley will feel right at home
when he plays in Jersey City tomor-
row. He was a member of the Skeet-
ers in 1909. Dusty Roth, the recruit
outfielder, is resident of Jersey City
and Shortstop Frank O'Rourke is also
the Elizabeth, N. J., club last year.
Bob stow practiced before the game
yesterday but retired to the bench
when the battle started. He has not
completely recovered from his recent
illness. Sam Harris took care OF sec

Pat Hurley is the most likely look
ing member of the Black Rocks. Pat
plays baseball as well as he does
basketball and that Is surely saying a
whole lot. He robbed Frank O'Rourke

inning.
In the third inning Eddie Lavery
ran back to the stand and got under
Skipper Eley's foul. The Rock catch
err also caught O'Rourke rying to

The Mechanics are now approaching
the high places in their exhibition
schedule, and they will have to show
something to win their future games.
Tomorrow they invade Jersey City to
play Larry Schlafly's International
Leaguers, and Saturday the Troy, New

Newield Park. Manager Mccain is
pretty well satisfied with his recruits.

another one of the New York recruits.
Mccain will join the Mechanics in
Jersey City tomorrow afternoon in
time to watch them clash with the
Skeeters.
Foot Ruell is making good with
Troy. Here is what the Troy Rec
ord says of the former Mechanic:
"Ruell reminds one of Jimmy Catiz.
the former Troy third baseman, in ac-
ton and in handling a ball. He fields
hunts with an air of confidence and
has a wrist throw to first on fast
plays that Is always regarded as a
valuable asset for a guardian Of the
torrid station. With the arrival of
Dietz, it may b that Ruel will be
transferred to look after some of the
pitchers. He has performed the wind
pad stunt in emergency instances and
knows a thing or two about handling
hurlers.'
Brad Kocher must be i'll pretty
strong with Manager Jennings Of De-
troit. The old Bridgeport backstop
