BIRDIE CREE HAS
 SIGNED CONTRACT
New York Americans Will Turn Pitcher Martin Over to
 Rochester

Atlanta, Ga, April 1.-The High flanders piled out of here yesterday afternoon bound for Indianapolis, where they are booked for games on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Manager Wolverton made it known that he had signed Birdie Cree to a contract before leaving h"re.
 With Cree in line, Sweeney is the only recalcitrant, and he is just as likely as not to be on deck when the club reaches New York. Both John Ganzel and Charley Hemphill have had the ear of Wolverton in long conferences the last two days. There are several players that each wants, among the number being Pitcher Martin. It is believed that Martin will go to Rochester.
 Ganzei. it is said, also counts on getting Osborn back, Rochester being shy of outfielders, but Osborn looks to be the best man Wolverton has in line for extra fielder. Osborne is the best hitter of the surplus outfelders, even If he is slow on the bases.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

According to Deacon McGuire, Jim Clements. formerly star catcher on
 the Phila delphia Nationals, was the
 only player to ever put one across on
 Tim Hurst. One extremely hot day,
 in Philadelphia, Clements had been
 billed to catch, and Jim felt like do- ing anything else. The fact of the
 matter was that he had been imbib- ing rather too freely and when he came in after the first inning he con- plained of the heat.
 He really did look sick, and Hurst feeling sorry, took Tim out in back of
 the grandstand and spent about if. teen minutes bathing the sick mans
 temples with ice water.
 Finally Tim got whiff of Jim S breath. And Jim got water pail in the face immediately thereafter. ""That's the first and last time I'll ever feel sorry for a ball player de- clared Tim. And I guess he has kept his promise"
 President Barrow, of the Interna- tional League, is predicting a tight
 race for his circuit. we had great race last season, with Rochester Bal
 timore and Toronto fighting it out al
 most to the last day of the season., says Barrow. However, I think that
 the 1912 pennant struggle may be
 even more interesting than the race last year. All the weaker sisters have been materially strengthened Another former Cleveland mascot has turned professional. The Port land club of the Northwestern League has signed Jimmy Dean, of Los An geles, as pitcher. Three years ago Jimmy, who is Ted Easterly's broth law, wore a Nap suit and acted
 as bat boy and mascot. He was then | ffteen He has grown large and strong and is considered one of the best pitchers in the California winter league.
 Catcher Hank Severoid of Cincin-
 nati made Manager O'Day sore by the | speed he used in throwing the ball 1 to the bases. It went down like a
 rifle bullet from the young receiver s arm. "Here. cut that out" cried the 1 boss to the Norwegian. You'll have your arm so sore that you can't raise lit." But Severoid went on just the

Special from United Press. )


 New York, April 1-"One month from today enough delegates will have been elected to assure MT. Taft of re- nomination, so see no reason for en- tering into controversy with Mir. Roosevelt as to past events" was the reply of John w. Hutchinson, Jr., di- rector of the eastern branch of the Taft bureau, today, to the charge by Colonel Roosevelt that the primaries held in the city last Tuesday were ''infamies unmatched even by the kin dred infamies perpetrated on behalf of MT. Taft in Indianapolis and Dem ver."
 Everybody in New York knows that the unfortunate delay in casting the ballots was due to the contest fnau- gurated by the Roosevelt managers, continued Hutchinson, "and that the supporters of Taft were more affected than the Roosevelt followers. Under the election law every person had right to write out his own ballot.
