BURCHELL IS
ROUNDING UP
Sporting Life" Gives Butt"
a Big Send-off.

"Butt" Burchel, Of this city, who
has jumped from the ranks in the old
Eastern League to player-magnate in
the New York State League, is round
ing up his squad to represent Syracuse
IN. W this year in that organization.
"Butt" is manager as well as part
owner, and has also planned to take his
turn on the slab. He made good last
summer with Rochester, and there is
every reason 30 believe that another
success awaits him in 1912. Burchell
was given a great send off last week by
"Sporting Life" which spoke of the
Syracuse clubs doings as follows:
Syracuse, N. Manager Burchell,
of the local New York State League
Club, announces that his list of recruits
is about complete and the following
players will report in this city April 7:
Pitchers, Burchell, st. Martin. Ashton,
Bailey, Evans, Teal, Laing and Seneff;
catchers, Knots, Trainer and Meekes;
infielders, Deal, Havel, Lynch and Wrat-
ten; outfielders, Goode, Wotell, Fields
and Jack White. When Manager Bur
chell completed the deal with Jack
White, outielder, and third baseman
Wratten last Tuesday, he got two play
ers whom he was satisfied would make
him as fast a team as there is in the
league. If he can land another player
or two he will buy them. Jack Whites
addition gives him four good outfelders,
one of whom will go.
"Dick- Trainor has signed a contract
with Syracuse as a backstop. Lee Mey-
ers, second baseman, has been released
by purchase to the Trenton, N. j., Club,
of the Tri-State League. Syracuse will
be one of the few clubs to have a train
err this season, James Dunbar, a former
pugilist, having been signed to take
charge of the men. "Snake' Deal, who
took up the management when Ashen-
bach quit last year, will be back on first
base, and Deals aggressiveness more
than his batting will help the Stars
along.
ga youngster named Harris will be
tried out at the Keystone sack, while a
veteran will also be secured. Wratten
will be used at either short or third
base, the same being true of Mike
Lynch"

FRANKLIN RECALLED AGAIN

p. A. s. Franklin, American vice.
president Of the International Mercantile
Marine Company. was recalled by Senator
Smith and again grilled about the exact
hour at which the White Star officials
in New York received definite news of
the fate of the Titanic. Examination of
Mr.. Franklin by Senator Smith failed to
develop any additional facts on this
point.
Mr.. Franklin. said Senator Smith.
between the time you received the
telephone message from Montreal about
3 o'clock Monday morning confirming
the rimors you had heard from the news
papers in New York and the time you
made public the information you received
from Montreal did your company re-
insure the Titanic or the cargo Of the
Titanic anywhere
Absolutely no. sir. replied Franklin.
Ipld you make a,ass any attempt to DO so
Mr.. Franklin denied this with equal
emphasis and said that all the insurance
for the White Star Line ships was handled
in New York. that there was no one in
London or Liverpool who would take up
an insurance matter without advisin &
him and that he was sure nothing had
been done about the Titanic insurance.
