AbeIeS Is to Go
South with
Bengals
McGinnity Will Give Local
Semi-PrO a Thorough
Tryodt.

Local representation on the NeWar
Club was augmented yesterday by one,
when Dave Abeles, a semi-pro out
fielder, hitched up with o McGin-
nifty to go through the training PAGES
with the Tigers down at Petersburg,
Va. Abeles is a finished outfielder, a
straightaway right-hand hitter and
covers more ground than a circus
tent" so to speak.
He held a confab with Joe McGin
nifty, following which he went home to
brush up his spangles Ind baseball
paraphernalia. Abeles started his
baseball career with the Barringer
High School team hat produced Andy
Speary and Abe Rachlin, and he has
been performing with local semi-pro
teams yer since.
His forte is his ability to scorch the
grass tops with his speed and semi-pro
fans declare that he is IS finished a
product as an outfielder as the local
lots have developed in a long while.
OF course, 1t Is more than an over
night Jump, from semi-pro baseball to
the class AA brand, but the semi-pro
brand of baseball served up in Newark
is as fast and faster thar the average
corner-lot game played throughout the
United States. If McGinnity feels that
Abeles has a future. which can be de-
veloped by more seasoning, he will
farm 'Dave" out to some minor league
club.
Packing Up.
The warerooms of the Newark club
are taking on the appearance of al
arsenal. Joe McGinnity was busy yes
49, x.oI~.r~ % nv a., t1,a otorn,1pitinn
to be used on the firing line al Peters
burg. Evidently the Bengal general
expects his men to do some hefty
stick-work, for he will include ten
dozen shiny ''3-inch' shells, commonly
known as b~aseballs.
The firearms are supplied by the
players themselves, who like to pick
out their sticks"
AS to toggery, last years road uni
forms will be packed away in trunks
shortly and shipped to the headquar-
tiers for everyday use OH the training
trip. The new road uniforms will be
used for the first time when the team
hits Richmond for an exhibition game.
On the other hand the immaculate
white uniforms are always saved for
the opening game of the league season.
The Tiger wardrobe to be shipped to
Petersburg will be quite extensive.
FriIl to Visit Here.
Jack Frill has written to Jack Kelly
that he will stop in tomorrow when
passing through Newark to see KeTs
place of business at 451 Broad street.
Frill is due to report to the Brown !
leader at ST. Louis by the end of the
xynol- Lya1Ixr mill, u-..s-AI- II , |
that Jack is in for a good season and
will stick up in the big show this year.
Joe McGinnlty would jump at a
chance to land Frill, but President j..
D. Lillis n Lieutenant Lawrence
Schlafy, of the Jersey City brigade.
say there is not even a chance to hope
SO Tar as he Iron Mans success is
concerned.
Schardt's Name Attracts,
Both Messrs. Solomon and McGinnity
pricked up their ears yesterday when
they heard the rumble of the "infan-
try" over in Brooklyn, as Willie
detachment of Brooklyn voiun-
teers embarked for Hot Springs. Ark.
"Schlitz" Schardt is the private they
want to recruit, inc with him in line
both will feel easier as to their staff of
markslnen.
Bell Fails to Respond.
To date George Bell has neglected the
courtesy of responding to the Newark
Clubs billet doux. The "curver' from
Academy Corners, Pa, will probably
bring his contract along with him when
he reports for training. Georgie EVIL

penny n on postage stamps.
Vaughn Mt Cobalt
Bobby Vaughn is shaving for the
Mipissing Mining Company away out
in Cobalt, Can. Bob has peer working
his way eastward, and is now about
seventy miles from Toronto, SO that
when orders are given for the Bengal
forces to concentrate for the swoop ON
Petersburg Bobby will be In the front
ranks of the attack.
5 Bud Sharpe ON the job.
Bud Sharpe, former manager of the
Oakland Club of the Pacific Coast
League, lost no time in communicating
with Jack Kelly when he heard of the
report that Kelly was to be sold To
Milwaukee. Sharpe wrote to Jack and
him If he would be willing h
play on the coast.
Kel replied that he would be de-
lighted to help win games for Bud at
Oakland, but his business here would
prevent him, even If he were able to
obtain his release. Kelly's differences
with the Newark Club will very likely
be settled amicably.
