Cuban Scribes Nav
Visit New Britain
Joker Suggests That They Desert
Cincinnati and Follow Club
Which Has Two Native
Players

Plainville, March 25-According to
letters received from Havana, the two
Cuban war correspondents now in this
country with the Cincinnati team of
the National League may follow the
fortunes of the Cubans on the New
Britain team this season instead of
writing up the plays of the one Cuban
with the Reds. Victor Munoz of ..El
Mundo" Of Havana, who furnished
The Courant with accounts of the
games played on the island by Sox
Waterman's aggregation, and Senior
Contd, another Cuban correspondent,
are with the Cincinnati team and
Senior Cont says that Hank O'Day has
built up great baseball machine. He
does not think that Almeida will re-
port to the Reds this season. One of
the Havana papers panned, Almeida
for not reporting early and this made
him sulky. AS he is worth $500, 900,
it is said that he feels that he can
afford to quit the game for a, sea-
son.
With Marsaus, the only Cuban with
Cincinnati, it fs said that the Havana
papers cannot see the wisdom of two
correspondents cabling news about one
player and as Cabrera and Romanac CHI,
who are to play with New Britain this
season, are as we'll known in Cuba as
Marsans and Alneida, there MS some
talk of having the CORRESPONDENTS fol-
low the New Britain team around the
circuit instead Of sticking around with
the Reds
Manager Murphy has not done ANY,

KLAUS MAY MEET EDDIE

Winner Of Bout With Jack Dillon
Anxious to Settle Middlewefght
Championship.

San Francisco. March Is Frank
Klaus, winner of the match on Satur-
day with Jack Dillon, may get a
chance to meet Eddie McGoorty on
April Is to settle the question of the
middleweight championship.
Manager George Engle, speaking for
Klaus, said: Its altogether a matter
of terms and of weight. Coffroth will
go through with the original agree
ment as to a guarantee. We will ac-
cept and Klaus will be willing to fight
on April 13. But McGoorty will have
to do 15S pounds and close to ringside
time at that. You can't blame us.
The Wisconsin man is a light heavy
weight, who finds it hard to do 1853
pounds. Klaus can get as low as 154
pounds if he needs to. So we will only
be protecting ourselves"
Klaus came out of the match with
Dillon with his hands In fairly good
shape.
Half a dozen kilograms were receiy-
ed by Klaus making offers He can
fight a chap named Chip in Pittsburgh
or he can get Mike Gibbons din New
York city this month Gibbons wants
the weight 152 pounds. which is a trf-
file below what Klaus can comfortably
make. The Pittsburgber is quite will
ing to do 154 pounds but will go no
