AlTCHISON, ON HUNTING TRIP, NOT
AWARE THAT HE BELONGED TO TIGERS

Somewhere in the wilds OF Arkan-
sas a gunner is tramping the woods,
perhaps, with a party of friends, far
from the noise and hustle of civilian
ton, living the simple life as primi-
lively as our antediluvian ancestors.
The great hunter, who loves to rough
it, is none other than '.Rollie" Aitchi-
son, the big. southpaw, turned over
to the Tigers by Brooklyn.
Aitchison is said to have declared
when he left for his home last fall
that he'd spend the entire winter
hunting and camping out in search
of all kinds of game With a guide
or an occasional acquaintance he has
been wandering around for weeks,
turning up at villages and small
towns only when he felt like having
bit of cooked food for change.
outdoor life. such as Aitchison must
have led; will put him in the best
shape. He will need very little train

Garry Would Have Minor

antee Plan of Ohio League.

That august body the National
Commission, realizes in full measure
that in protecting the rights of the
ball player the commission is pro-
tecting the public Garry Herman,
who was reelected chairman of the
commission yesterday, stated that he
favored a plan adopted by the Ohio
State League to protect ball players
in cases where clubs were delin-
quent in paying salaries.
The president of the Ohio State
League has instructed ball players
to report to him if his salary is five
days over due, and the league will
then pay the players salary out of a
guarantee fund. later exacting the
amount with a heavy interest from
the offending club.
OF course these business methods
are not in vogue In faster company,
such as the International and Amer
lean Association, but minor league
ball players often have trouble col

International League the players are

cases they are sometimes paid in adj

Aitchison is another Vean Gregg if
reports concerning his prowess are to
be accepted as being veracious. Bill

Lefty Russell sprang into fame and

Since Jack Frill was drafted by
the YanlSs the Tigers have not had a
young left-hander of class. Wyatt
Lee, as veteran. is a valuable man
to carry around because he can be
depended on in the pinehes, both as
a pitcher and hitter, and he always
gets the jinx on one or two clubs. 1t
will be a big disappointment if Aitchi-
son fails to prove a winner on the
local pitching staff after the scores

Baltimore Leader Has Asked

Rumor has it that Mike Donlin Is
wanted by Jack Dunn, manager Of
the Baltimore club. 1t is said that
waivers we're asked on Mike by the
Philadelphia National League club
because Donlin demands $1,000 for
his seasons toll
Donlln is great batter and would
shine in the International League, but
Dunn has as much chance Of nall
ing Donlin as Turkey had in the re-
cent war with the Balkan states
Somehow or other Dunn always
seems to seek 1eft-handed stickers,
and for one or two seasons his ORR
oles were helpless against southpaws.
If Dunn should by some chance
land Donlin he will have to dig deep
in his jeans to buy the famous
