Giants Land At
 Marlin Camp Today
Manager McGraw Wires for Catcher Hartley to Come
 to Rescue at Once

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 19.-Manager McGraw of the Giants and a party of twenty-five players, trainers, fans and correspondents passed through Dallas last night on their way to Marlin Springs, where they will arrive Ioday- Emmett Munse1, a former Dallas pitcher, joined the squad here. 9th will report from different points Tn the South, and McGraw will call his first practice early this afternoon.
 The Giants encountered mild, spring-Iike weather here, and will start tomorrow in a temperature of about u1aIIy welcomed to Texas at the rail- road station. Several score Dallas fans had planned a more elaborate reception, but the train from St. Louis was an hour late, and the young Giants barely had time to make train connection
 As WiIbert Robinson is the only catcher with the team, McGraw yes %erday wired to New York instruc- tions for Grover Hartley to come on at once to assist in the handling Of the half dozen pitchers in the awk- he had released Jack Johnson, the San Antonio outfielders to keep with in the player limit of thirty-fve.
 There were thirteen new players leaving Dallas with McGraw. They are Tesreau, Munsen and Evans, sen and Burns, outfielders, and Groh, Bues, Thompson. Gardella, Stock and Nohowel, infielders. Devore is younger brother of Josh Devore, and Thompson is a young Sem1-pro from Pittsburgh. Devore, Bues. Stock. picked up in St. Louis on Saturday night.

St0VaII Traded
 To St. Louis Club
Former Cleveland Manager Ex- changed For Pitcher Lefty
 George

A berth has at last been found for George StovalI. the former manager of the Cleveland Maps. Word came from the west that he has been sent to the St. Louis Browns for Lefty George. Unless the Cleveland first baseman has slowed up a great deal more than the fans have been led to believe, it looks as though St. Louis was getting all the better of the deal. Harry Davis, however may have some inside information on young George which makes him think that the youngster will develop into a star. twirler.
 The Browns were not blessed with a remarkable pitching staff last sea- son-in fact, they could hardly point to one mound artist who was above the average. George had the poor est record of any on the team win ming three games and losing ten. He came near being the poorest pitcher in the league, Baker, of Chicago. and Gray, of Washington, being the only ones who did worse. He occupied a similar position in hitting and field ing.
 George Stovall has been rated among the best first basemen in the league He played in only 11S games last sea son, but led all those who took part in more than fifty games, --hiIe he turned in a batting averagA of .27I It would not be surprising to hear that Stovall is slated to succeed Bob by Wallace as manager of the Browns

Catcher Street
 To Join Yankees
Manager WolvertOn Trades In- fielder Knigkt For Crack
 Washington BackStOp

Jack Knight, of the New York Yan- kees, for Gabby Street, the star catcher of the Washington Senators, in an even trade. was the news that Harry WoIverton brought back with him Saturday when he returned to New York from the American League meeting in Chicago. This deal has been hanging fire for some time, the New York manager having announc- ed some time ago that he was after a catcher, and rumor declared that Street was the man. Knight also was named to figure in a deal of some kind so that the announcement does not come as a complete surprise.
 The Washington team needs a first baseman badly, and in Knight it will get one of the best initial sack guar dians in the league. With Hal Chase Knight. While Jack played a specta- cular game at shortstop in 1910 a bad arm contributed to his downfall on the hilltop last sea son, when it was proved that his place on the infield was at first.
 Street has long been considered one of the star catchers of the American League, ranking with Sullivan, of the earned the distinction Of catching a ball thrown off the top of the Wash ington Monument. He has been play ing baseball since 1903, having been III the DIE ledSueS TOT the last TOUT years. Knight has never been the star as an inf1eIder that Street has been as a catcher.
 Knight was inveigled into fast com pany by Connie Mack in 1907. The shrewd manager of the Athletics kept him with the team for a whole sea- son, but Knight could not play a great deal on account of a bad arm. The following year the Yankees obtained him from the Athletics after the sea- son had started, Mack being convinc- ed that there was no further use in keeping him.
 In 1909 Knight played shortstop reg ularly for the Yankees. but was not much of a success. The next year. when Russell Ford made his debut, Knight blossomed forth in brilliant style, leading the team in hitting, with an average of .312 and fielding well. Last season he was again tried at short. and later at second, bu failed to live up to his reputation. At first, while substituting for Chase. he appeared to much better advantage. He fell off decidedly in his stick work, batting at the rate of .26S He is a younger man than the Washington catcher, and Griffith may profit by the deal in developing a future pen nant winner

SAM CRAWFORD SCARED
 BY NEBRASKA INDIANS
Detroit SIugger Had Narrow Escape From Being ScaIped When He
 Played With Redskin Team.

W. R. Hogan, author of the append ed story, played two seasons with Greens Nebraska Indians. a team that tours the country every summer, play ing games with the semi-proS and minor league teams. Hogan Is now manager of a minor league team, but spends his winters in Cleveland study ing law.
 s7During the season of 1908, we, the Indians had our training camp at Wahoo the town made famous as the home of Sam Crawford, about thirty miles from Lincoln" said Hogan While there visited the sporting goods store owned by one of Craw- ford's relations, and was shown a bar rel containing slightly used baFs, each and every one of them guaranteed to League fence either by Ty Cobb or Crawford himself. It Is said that every resident of WIahoo has coug he'd up an iron man and become the pos sessor of one of these souvenirs
 "ELt, speaking of Crawford, sam himself was a member of the Indians several years ago, many years ago, In fact. In those days the team car them day and night for advertising purposes. Sam, by the way, did not get along very well with some of the red men and took occasion to knock one of them down one day. A few days later, when the team was stop ping over night at Nebraska City, few of the braves, including the one with whom Sam had had his fight, sneaked away from the camp and filled up on 'f1rewater.' They came back looking for trouble Every one else was asleep with the exception of Charley O'Day, who managed the Spring1eId COhio State) team last sea son. Charley, occupying the next wigwam to that used by the troub-e- makers, overheard them planning to get their revenge on Crawford. O'Day lost no time in awakening Crawford and the pair, together with three other white men on the team, entered the Indians hut and over powered the redskins, who already had the'r knives out.
 That was enough for Crawford.
 "I know when I am lucky, said Sam. The next time they go to get me, O'Days might be asleep. I will take no chances

FOOT RUELL TRADED TO
 TROY FOR OUTFIELDER CARROLL Manager Mo Cam Also Secures Option On Third Basenan And Catcher From
 Big League Club

is another reason why he wanted to get away. Last season in 93 games he batted .216 and stole 2S bases.
 Ruell was secured from Holyoke last May as part of a trade that sent Pitcher Clunn and Shortstop Hall to Holyoke in exchange for Ruell and Pitcher Dixie Walker Ruen hit for
 256 last season but he was a slow man on the bases and a slow thinker and for that reason Manager McCann though he could afford to part with him.
 During his, stay in New York the local manager secured an option on a third baseman who is now the prop erty of a big league club. He is get ting the dope on the infielder before he closes the deal. He also had conference with the New York Amer jeans in regard to a catcher. Owner Farrell of the Yankees promised to send a backstop to Bridgeport but wouldn't name any particular one. He said Manager WoIverton wanted to see the young backstops perform in the south before he farmed them out.
 Jim Kennedy, the Troy third base man, was a man sought after by Me Cam but he couldn't do any business with the Troy management regarding the iafielder. McCann had a talk with Kennedy and the latter declared Carroll would make a good outhelder for Bridgeport.

 AFTER HE WON TENANT
Crack Cleveland Catcher Tells How His Efforts to Help Indianapolis
 Were Rewarded.

Cleveland, Feb. 19-A meeting of the Winter Baseball League was held re- gently and here are some of the three base hits and home runs in stories told by those present:
 Well" said Catcher Paddy Living ston, of Cleveland, eff Watty Watkins had had his way. i! would still De owing the club money, for the more games I caught and the better I work ed the less pay I got. I figured 1t if I had stuck to Indianapolis until now. I would have to pay for the privilege" said the chair encouragingly.
 wen, you see. it was this way" draft system down so fine that he kept me with his club two years when some of the big league teams were trying to buy me. Had me covered up. But we were going good and when you are with team that IS m the race you sometimes forget about the pay, especially when they tell you they are going to give you bonus at the end of the year.
 Nineteen hundred and eight was the year we won the pennant in In dianapolis. I on'y caught 11S games that year. Caught every game that Marquard pitched until the last. Re member-ft was nip and tuck between us and Louisville when the season was about over. We went to Louis vile for the final series If Louis vile won three we would be tied. If they won four straight we would be beaten went in and caught the first three games. We won them and when the last man was out in the third game, I threw down the mitt and declared I would not need it again that year.
 '~The next day they put Marquar6 in to pitch. They wanted me to catch and said: Nay, nay, Paddy is through for this year So they put Howley in behind the bat. He hated to catch Marquard and the first time he got a foul on the arm he dropped as if his leg were broken and they had to carry him off the field. Then they tried to get me to finish the game. Nothing doing I said The season is over for Paddy The pen- mean anything So they put in How ard Wakefield, who had been warm ing the bench all summer.
 Well, we had a banquet soon after and Watty told us that he wanted us back aeain to win another pennant, and Patrick Livingston swelIed up when he thought of the fat Ontract he would get in recognition of the great work he had done. So, I came back to Cleveland and waited for that contract. It came. Six hundred dol lars less than the year before. What a hoT CT I made. But it did not get Andy Lea on the Rocky river bridge and worked there until Connie Mack bought me. Connie certainly was my friend, for if I had stuck around In dfanapoIfs much longer I would cer- tainly be in debt to the club"

Johnny COuIOn Is
 Still Bantam Champ Defends Title by Beating Frankie Burns in Hard
 Fought Battle

New Orleans. La. Feb. 19.-John- ny CouIon, of Chicago, bantamweight champion of the world, yesterday sue cessfully defended his title against Frankie Burns. of New Jersey, after a hard-fought twenty-round battle, in the West Side A. C., in Jefferson par lsh, when Coulon was given the de- ciSfon over Burns.
 The betting before the battle was Z to that Coulon would win. For nineteen rounds the fight was fairly even. The twentieth was a hard fought round. In this period Burns slipped an dcould not get up very quickly on account of the position i'll Cou1on landed several blows and hard right on the jaw just before the end of the round Referee Harry Stout gave the decision to Coulon.-
 When he raised the champions hands there were cheers mingled with misses, for many did not like the decision. It was fair, however. Cou- lon had carried the fight to Burns all the way through and deserved the decision Stout said after the fight that he gave the decision to Coulon because he had been Lhe aggressOr.
 Cou1on was confident and started the fight with a rush after feeling his man out in the first round, which was mostly sparring. The champion was accorded nearly every round up to the eleventh, when Burns gradually be- gan forcing Couion to break ground, getting the best of the in-1ghting.

 Foot RuelI, the hard hitting third baseman, has been traded by the Bridgeport club for Outfelder Frank Carroll of the Troy, New York State league team. Manager McCann com pIeted the deal in New York Satur- day after a conference with Manager Hank Ramsey of Troy. On paper Carroll does not look like much of q player but before completing the deal McCann looked him up.
 A prominent baseball man in Al bany, who is a friend of McCann's and is in touch with New York State league baseball, tipped the local man aged that Carroll is one of the most promising players in that league. He says Carroll is only a youngster and is bound to improve.
 The Mechanics new outfielder first gained prominence as a member of the Utica, New York State league team in 1909. He showed such speed on the bases and batted so well that the Oakland club of the Pacific Coast league bought him. Carroll was dis satisfied with things on the Coast and was anxious to get back east so he was sent to Scranton in 1911. In the middle If last season he was traded to Troy He claimed he was i'll last season and could not do himself jus tice. Troy is his home town and that

He joined the Pirates late in the season, however. He is a fast man and on account of his youth will eventually prove a valuable man for Boston.
