ASK FOR WAIVERS
ON BENN|E MEYER
Pittsburgh Club Holds Up For
mer Newark Player, Sought
by Joe Kelley.
DUNN LIKES COLLEGIANS

The Brooklyn Club has asked for
waivers on Benny Meyer, the tobasco
kid, and the peppery outfielder who
starred with Newark and helped To-
ronto win the flag last year. 1t is
reported that Pittsburgh held Meyer
up, refusing to grant waivers. Joe
Kelley wants Benny to put some life
In his Toronto team.
Jack Dunn has acquired Connie
Macks style of picking up collegians.
Among the men Manager Dunn has
on his Baltimore Club who made
good with college teams are Dave
Roth and Bill Morrisette, of Mount
st. Joseph's College; Capron, of Min
nesota; Cooper, of Trinity College;
Jarman, of Washington College; Fill
linger, of a Western Michigan col
lege; Ben Houser, of the Girard Col
lege; Danforth, who is studying dem
tistry, and Tony Citrano, whom Dunn
has farmed to Raleigh.
Manager Harry Smith in an off,
cial statement declares that his in
vestigation of reports from Provi-
dence about the misbehavior of New
ark players during his absence was
exaggerated and proudly points to
the Tigers position in the race to
corroborate his statement that the
Bengals are on the straight and mar
row path.
Eddie Gagnier had three hits Sat
urday and two more yesterday. Ed
is hammering the ball harder than at
any time since he Joined the local
forces. He also pulled clever field
ing stunt when he trapped Derrick
off third base yesterday, stopping the
Orioles rally in the seventh inning.
Johnny Enzmann batted out flies
yesterday and tossed few balls,
but his arm pains him in spite of the
advice of his physician to try to work
the soreness out. If Enzmann can
get back into shape everything VIII
be rosy. Harry Smith, however, is
playing the game safely and wants
to be fortified with another good
pitcher. Manser, apparently, would
help the Tigers, but the Newark
management reneged at giving up
Bell for the Doc, according to re-
ports.
Billy Zimmerman's right hand is
badly bruised from sliding the bases.
1t bothers Bill to get a grip on his
bat and makes him vince in catch
ing line drives.
Neil Ball never had a reputation
as star slugger in fast company, but
he hit the ball hard and timely, here
yesterday.
Those Shelters invariably pick up
a couple of runs in the first inning
but their pitchers have hard time
sticking after the seventh inning.
Larry Schlafiy claims his team would
be near the top if games went seven
rounds instead of nine.
The Tigers generally pull their
strongest squirt in the eight round
That is the difference. He who laughs
last, laughs best after all.
Bill Bergen amused the fans in
practise yesterday by swapping the
ball behind his back to third base
with accuracy. 1t would be good
stunt to nip runner off third base
If Bill dared try it in game.

After day of rest the Giants will
resume their labors of piling up a
lead in the National League today.
Cincinnati will be the Giants oppo-
nents.
Brooklyn showed signs of a revivi-
cation by holding the Chicago Cubs
to a draw for nine innings Saturday
before the Cubs came back in the
tenth and won by one-run margin.
That Is as close as the Dodgers have
been to a victory in more than a
week. Philadelphia checked its losing
streak at st. Louis expense and
Philly fans are picking UP courage.
The Pirates hope to continue their
winning streak, having got started
the right way in Boston. Tomorrow
will be fag-raising day at the Polo
grounds, while the new Ebbets Field
will be dedicated at Brooklyn.

GILHOOLEY THE BEST YOUNG PLAYER
IN THE INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE

makes 1t almost impossible for In
flelders to throw him out at first base
unless it is a sharp drive that he hits.
The first defense workers climb in
on the grass as If they were playing

base when Gilhooley comes up. He
can hit, field, run and throw.
But, above all, he Is not conceited,

1.-THE best young ball player in the
International League" That Is the
tribute paid to Jim Gilhooley, the
fleet-footed youngster who covers an
outfield position for Montreal. 1t is
the unanimous verdict of every man
ager who has been in Newark this
season.
Gilhooley is just q years old and
has played professional baseball for
two years. He was picked up by the
st. Louis Cardinals from the Ohio
State League and turned over to
Montreal for more seasoning He does

sixth inning when the Tigers showed
signs of getting to him, Shawkey was
in hot water only once. In the eighth
inning the Tigers filed the bases with

however, poked a foul to Bergen.

THIEVES Get
INTO GARAGE
Clark's Place al South Key
port Closes Up.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


Keyport. Jan. 30.--Owing to the
damage already sustained and ths
risk of further leaving anything OF
value lying around unprotected In
these regions nowadays, has caused
the closing up practically of Clarks
garage at South Keyport for the
time being.
About two weeks ago an entrance
was forced in the building and an
unsuccessful attempt was made to
steal an automobile. which the rob-
bers were unable TO start. They
acted very delibirate in the matter
and probably exhausted all their
mechanical ability. The tool chest
of the car had been opened and the
tools were left scattered about the
floor. Being unable to steal the
machine they cut the tires in many
places. '''
Last Thursday night the garage
was again entered, the thieves
smashing window glass out and
then unlocked the window from this
inside. The place was ransacked
and whatsoever appealed to the In
truders they Appropriated for their
own use.
Mr.. Clark Is tired of the thievins
and in order to be sure of having
a car and some tools when the sum-
mer season opens. has moved this
week his automobile and outfit of
tools and all other mementos which
he would like to save. from the gar
age to his house, where he can keep
q closer vigilance on his belongings.

Buck tho Indian,

Here Is a good game for healthy
boys called buck the Indian
Two captains are chosen, and each
captain then chooses until two long
lines are formed. They face each
other, holding hands tightly. One
captain calls the name OF one of hts
strongest boys, and this boy runs and
hurts himself between two boys Of
the opposing ride. II he succeeds In
breaking through he takes back with
him all the boys on the line below the
place he broke through. II he is un-
successful he must Join the enemy's
side. This is kept up until all the
boys are on one side.
The strongest boys should be sta
toned near the top OF the line, and
stratagem Is shown in trying to catch
the strong boys or their guard by pre-
tending to tackle the boys at the bot
tom.

love affair. When we had withdrawn
a little way from the Inn he turned
on me sharply.
"Well?" he demanded.
"Well." | laughed.
"Oh. you needn't take that tone about
it! Your being here Is something that
requires explanation. and your being
there"-he flung out his arm toward
Hopefield MsnOr-'your presence there
is not a laughing matter"
"My dear Virgins, l came here in a
spirit OF friendship, and you treat me
like a pickpocket l must say that II
you had not acted like clam the other
night at the club. but had told me what
was In the wind we might not be meet
ing now like ancient enemies instead Of
old and intimate frieuds."
He vouchsafed no reply. but threw
himself down under a scarlet maple
and began to whIttle a stick. while
went on with my stors. concluding
with:
And now have finished my work,
and after have made my report
shall probably not meet her again. AS
for Miss Cecilia Hollister. can only
say. my dear Wiggins. that she Is
rarely beautiful woman, and that II
you wish to marry her you have my
very best wishes for your success and
happiness"
1T struck me that you were pretty
well established there" he burted. Il
confess that | took 1t for granted you
were not there wholly on professional
errand. and won't deny, Ames, that l
was not pleased to see you"
"You honor me In assuming that |
might aspire to the hand of 80 splendid
a woman as Cecilia Hollister; but, my
dear Virgins. l tell you | never laid
eyes on her until last night
But you had been to the Asolando,"
he persisted, hacking away doggedly at
his stick.
"Of course | had. told you l bad
/ told you the whole story. But did
not see Cecilia Hoilister there. She
wasn't there. 1 fancy that after you
saw her there last spring and became
infatuated with her and followed her
to Europe instead Of going to Dakota
to harvest your blooming wheat-arter
that bit Of history she never returned
to the Asolando. Your lack of frank
ness In all this Has panied me, and you
left 1t for a gossiping chap like Jewett
to tell me the whole story"
He threw the stick at a sparrow
whose chIrp irritated him from a stone
