CY SEYMOUR ANXIOUS
 TO DON UNIFORM AGAIN.

Baltimore, Feb. 21.-Uniess Manager Jack Dunn Of the Orioles succeeds in finding a purchaser for Cy Seymour, it is safe to venture that the big out fielder, with or without an invitation will hike into Oriole park some day next spring, don a uniforIn- and work out with the Birds. It, is reported from New York that Cy has declared he will get back into condition and make the local boss change his mind about disposing of him.
 Seymour met Dunnie in New York recently and told him that he had decided to go to Hot Springs, Ark, to boil down his weight, National league manager1 having promised to give him a trial if he should get in condition The big league end Of this is beltev- ed to be a stall on Cy's part, his real object being to prevent Dunn from selling him to smaller league until he has had another opportunity to get back into favor.
 Manager Dunn still declares he will never pay the former Giant again.

SAYS ZBYsZKO WILL
 DEFEAT CHAMPION GOTCH.

New York, Feb. 21-"Zbyszko can throw any man in the world I be- lieve he will obtain two straight falls from Frank Gotch, the champion, if they ever meet. But I don't think they will ever meet, for think Gotch is afraid to meet Zbyszko on the mat"
 In those words of high praise, Dr. B. F. Roller, the physician of Seattle, Wash, who has been the victim of Zbyszko's strength and skill at least twice, and one of Gotch's trainers dur ing the champions training for Hack enschnidt, recently told in an inter view his opinion of the relative mer- it's of the great wrestlers.
 ''Zbyszko is as strong as am eIe- phant, is just as ponderous and bulky and possesses the agility of a pan ther,' said Roller. He wears his ad- versary'S strength out during the f. st thirty minutes or so of work in a fin ish bout, and then proceeds to stretch him out on the mat. He knows all the wrink es of the game and this, combined with his great skill, makes him invincIbIe"

GIANT YOUNGSTERS
 ARE CUTTING LOOSE.
McGraw Has Five Six Footers in His
 Crop of Recruits.

Marlin, Texas. Feb. 21.-The Giant rockies, under the personal direction of Manager John McGray, yesterday engaged in the fist preliminary work of the season, and sore limbs are rampant The atmosphere changed much as does a fickle maids mind. The day was cold, and a penetrating wind from the north blew across the campus, while the youngsters were in dulging in their first real baseball la Dor of the year. A couple of Hedge lings are suffering in consequence of the unbound enthusiasm with which they capered about during the day.
 The non-arrival of the hamper con taining uniforms and other parapher- nalia put the ambitious recruits in a depressed state. A few of them were fortunate enough to pack old baseball outfits in their baggage. Burns and Evans, however, overlooked this and had to caVort about in their every day regalia. This pair should not feel discouraged, for it will be recall ed that OF Doc Crandall, the grand est little relief pitcher in captivity, did the same thing when he first join

According to the latest bulletins from the seat of war it Is the Spring field club which is battling with Bridgeport for Outfelder Foran's ser vices. It appears that Foran was of fering his wares to many teams but he progressed more rapidly with Springfield than with the others. He even went so far as to affix his name to a Springfield contract. But here is where the complications come in Previous to signing with Springfield. Foran wrote to Manager McCann ask ing for a job and the boss of the Me Foran wrote terms accepted" and McCann immediately filed notice with Secretary Farrell of the National as- sociation. After accepting Bridge ports terms the outfielder received a better offer from Springfield. so he signed a Pony contract. Manager Teller of Springfield has conferred with the local management about the he is anxious to get Foran, he is will ing to abide by Secretary FarrelPs decision. HZeller liked Foran last sea son when the youngster was with Larks disbanded. Springfield was well fixed for outfielders.
 It is said that Foot RuelI does not look with favor upon the trade that sent him to Troy in exchange for OutfeIder Carroll. Ruell does not want to go to Troy but the old boy will have to make the trip if he wants any coffee and cakes next summer.
 Reggie Brown. who was sold by Waterbury to Philadelphia Athletics last summer, is among the first of the recruits to report for the training trip to San Antonio, Texas. Brown won 20 games and lost the same number last season That's a good showing considering that he was with a tall end team part of the season.
