ERMAN IS
LIKELY TO Be
TIGER
McGinnity's Old Battery Mate
Is Very Anxious to
Play Here.

Frank Bowerman. the ex-Giant
catcher and former battery mate, may
wear a Newark uniform this season.
Bowerman has been in communication
with Joe McGinnity and has asked for
a trial. He Is nov a free agent. The
Iron Man" has not yet decided
whether he can use Frank or not, be-
cause he first wants to learn what
condition Bowerman is in.
McGinnity and Bewerman were
team -mates for years with the Giants,
Frank generally working behind the
plate when Joe was shooting them over
the platter. At one time McGinnity
and Bowerman rescued Bob Emslie
from an Infatuated mob of Polo Ground
1ans, and the Iron Man still has a let
ter of commentator from Harry G..
Pulliam, the deceased president of the
league. 1t was the last official letter
written by Pulliam before his untimely
death, and McGinnity prizes it highly.
Bowerman and McGinnity We're al
ways pals, but the Iron Man is not in
q position to allow sentiment to run
his ball club. Bowerman, after leay-
ing the Giants, managed the Boston
Nationals for a time, and then went to
h American Association. II Nc
Ginnity finds through inquiry that
Bowerman is in tiptop shape Frank
may get a chance with the Tigers. In
his old form he would prove a valuable
addition.

Early Reports from Detroit
Camp Are That LOuden
Is Shaded.

Evidently the race for superiority
and the third base position on the De-
troit team is on. Early reports indi-
cate that Bill Louden did not make a
very good getaway. but Bill never does
peculiar disposition, and 1T takes him
some time to get into his swing.
The Detroit team has been in train
ing only two days. and a scribe who is
able to draw comparisons in that time
must be gifted indeed. Hughey Jen-
nings will probably have the say about
Louden. and it's a good bet that
Louden goes better than this Wester-
ziil when the right time comes to show.
Fred Lake, the new Providence man
ager. has some sane ideas on picking
recruits. He says: "In nine cases out
of ten a manager in the big show has
only two weeks to see his men in
action. A star player may not begin
to show until May or June. He doesn't
look good on the training trip. and is
canned, and the manager panned when
the player goes along like a house
afre. That's why I don't approve of
a manager taking too many players on
these trips to the South"
HOT SPRINGS. Ark, March AS
Bill Dahlen's Brooklyn trolley dodgers
take possession of Wilmington Park
today. the game yesterday between the
American Association and Ail-Stars
was their final one 1t ended In a A.
toll victory for the Americans. Charley
Faust, McGraw's clown. was used as
pitcher the entire route by the All
Stars, and 1t was because the Kansas
"rube" was whaled in the pinches,
while Hub" Perdue, of the Boston
Nationals. was at his best in tight
places that the clan of Germany
Schaefer came to grief. Faust's peculiar
delivery and his daring work on the
bases had the fans convulsed all after
noon. He was presented with two hits
and allowed to steal three bases.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March de-
spite a cold, raw. cloudy day. Manager
Mack had his ~yanigan recruits at the

of the men were so stiff that It was
difficult for them to loccmote. The
players had anticipated a day of rest.
but they were disappointed when Mack
ordered all to the park after breakfast.
The days work. however. did the
players little good, as 1t was ,mpos-
sible to exercise hard enough to bring
out a beneficial perspiration.
A scrub game was played in the
afternoon. The teams battled for seven

Murderer
Famous Umpire Prevents Ex-
cited Spaniard from COM
hitting a Crime.

NEW YORK, March Tim Hurst,
the baseball umpire, took a loaded re-
volver away from an excited Spaniard
in the barroom OF the Hotel Bartholdi
early this morning. The Spaniard had
threatened to kill the hotel clerk when
the latter tried to put him out of the
cafe at the 1 O'Clock closing hour.
Hurst, who was on his way to his
room, and saw the incident from the
doorway, strobe over to the Spaniard
and wrenched the gun away after a
brief tussle. Then he held the strugr
Cling foreigner by the arm until a pc
liceman came. The Spaniard, who
would not give his name, was locked
up charged with carrying a revolver
and with disorder1y conduct.

Girnify Not
to Sign Cy
Seymour
Iron Man. Denies Story EN-
anating from BaItimore-For-
mer Giant Has Been Offered.

A report emanating from Baltimore
to the effect that the Newark Club has
made another offer to the Baltimore
Club for Cy Seymour is denied by Joe
McGirnity. who says that Dunn offered
Seymour TO him some time back, but
he nlade any offer TO Dunn for
the player.
Since Seymour has been banging the
ball at a lively clip out in Hot Springs,
Ark, several managers have taken no.
tice. McGinnity and Solomon talked
over the possibility OF acquiring sey-
mour yesterday, but the Iron Man
vetoed the move. as he figured that Cy
could not be depended on after July 4.
The heavy hitting veteran has promised
to stick on the water wagon for thirty
days or forfeit his salary. Seymour
will probably go along at a great pace
for he first six weeks, but about July
4 he generally falls and gees on a
rampage.
Some big league manager may sign
Seymour TO carry along as a pinch
hitter. His feet were bad last season
and he slowed up considerably. Out
in Hot Springs he has been batting
like a fiend. Jack Dunn want him no
longer, however, and it's curtains for
Cy SO far as Dunn is concerned, but
Jack has raised his selling price since
Seymour showed form.
Vice-President George Solomon speni
yesterday calling on local hotel pro
p%rietors to make arrangements for tbs
Tigers quarters. The players receive
no pay during the training period anc
the club must provide for their ac-
comrlodations until the season gets
under way. Solomon stated yesterday
that he would probably decide on the
Navarro Hotel. 1t will cost the clut
about $1,000 for the training TRIP
