SAVANNAH. Ca. March 21.-lt Is
not often baseball manager picks
up a youngster fresh from the back
lots as green as the shrubbery around
the old farm and have the youngster
make good in a league higher than the
class B plane
III Howard Barcklow. the Gloucester
infielder Manager Smith. of the
Tigers, has a sure enough gem in the
rough. Barcklow doesn't fall whole
lot shy of filing all the requirements
necessary to make the regular Tiger
machine. He is lacking in one thing
experience and inside knowledge of
the game-but he has shown such
aptitude in learning that Manager
Smith could send him to a class
league, such as the Southern or West
ern League, and have very little tim
idity in placing him with such team.
The fact that Ed Gagnier is Won
derful fielder and more experienced
than the youngster from the Jersey
town alone prevents Manager Smith
from holding Barcklow. If Harry were
in need of an infieder on either side
of the keystone bag Barcklow's job
would be as good as cinched. Being
a. youngster, Barcklow fell into his
stride much sooner than the older
members of the squad.
Getz is a sure enough marvel at
third base, but he is not yet in shape.
Getz, however because of his ex-
perience, seems to have the utility job
ri, fta Hn
opinion around. If Barcklow were a
left-handed hitter he would have a
better chance of sticking with the
Tigers.
Manager Smith has made no deci-
sion, but the handwriting on the wall
is not hard to decipher. Barcklow
covers plenty of ground around second
base, not quite so much as Gagnier,
but he is younger and has plenty Of
time to learn. He is big enough and
strong enough to put a punch behind
his swing, and when he raps the bali
on the nose ii travels He has a good
arm, is ambitious and has no bad
habits, Above all, Manager Smith is
pleased with the spirit he has shown
in hustling around and obeying COM
mands with alacrity Barcklow will
one day be a clever infielder and New
ark will run no chances of losing him
in placing him out for another years

Washington Dispatch Says Former
Senator Bells Is Ont Of Running.

All Annapolis is wondering who the
next postmaster will be and when the
appoin ment viii be- announced from
Washington.
The question OF the appointment
has been held up for months. For q
time il seemed that former Senator
Joseph H. BELLS would be the sue
cessful one to and the plum, put
now il seems he is out Of the run
ming entirely, according to dispatches
from Washington A dispatch from
the Washington Bureau to the Balti-
more American, printed in today's is
sue Of that paper, reads:
Representative Smith was expect
ed at the Post0ffiee Department this
afternoon, but did not call. IL is
again stated that Postmaster General
Burleson is so strongly adverse to the
appointment Of Senator Bells as
postmaster Of Annapolis that MIR.
Smith will be urged to in lorse
another candidate.
Though no information has been re-
eeived here, it is not unlikely that
the appointment will be made next
week. 1t was generally thought that
it would be announced following the
recent heated primary election in the
county, bat there was nothing doing.
But with the general election also
over, il is now thought that the post
master will be named at an early
date.
