MCINTYRE Is HoLD-0UT.
Former Tiger Refuses to Report tt
Coast Club.

Special Dispatch to The Star
DETROIT, February 14.-For the second
time in his career as a professional base
ball player, Matty Mcintyre is hold-out
Mcintyre. as nearly every one in Detroit
knows was formerly star in the Tigers
outfield. was later a member of Jimmy
Callahan's whtte-hosed crew in Chicago,
and during the latter part of 1912 played
with the San Francisco team in the Pa
cif1c Coast League.
Matty held out for several weeks one
spring when with Detroit. but he finally
capitulated. This spring, however, he is
determined not to report to the team to
which he owes allegiance, and he insists
that he will play semi-professional ball in
and around Detroit rather than return to
the sunset coast for the terms offered him.
1.-The Pacific Coast Leagues schedule is
entirely too long to suit me, and the fnan-
cial inducement is nothing to get excited
over" declared Mcintyre yesterday after
noon. LAS a place to reside the coast
may be all right, but as a place to play
ball on it is far from my liking.
Mcintyre led the league In hitting last
season, and although he was slow on the
bases. his batting won many game for
the San Francisco club.
According to reports from the Califor-
mia city, the former Tiger was offered an
increase of $75 a month for 1913. and this
would make him one Of the higheSt-priced
players in the organization.

chance for Griffiths outfield to be any
thing but stronger than it was last year.
There is SO much apparently good ma
terial to choose from that 1T is bound to
be strengthened, though the same three
men who held down those jobs last sea-
son may be found there again the
coming season This, in face, is very like
ly. for if Shanks shows improvement with
the bat as is expected he is absolutely
certain of mis- job.
1t remains for McGraw to make another
innovation in the training camp of his
team The New York manager has en-
gagged dentist who will go south with
the Giants, and while there will examine
the teeth of all the players.
McGraw says that it has been his ex-
perience that players, especially the
youngsters, report with bad teeth and that
this interferes with their work. The dem
fist is to look after them, having been
engaged by McGraw for the period that
the Giants are in training until the sea-
son opens.
II Johnny Evers is laboring under the
belief that he has a three-year contract
to manage the Cubs he may find himself
badly mistaken. 1t is said on the best of
authority that while Murphy rendered
Evers three-year contract the ten-day
clause was not eliminated and that it is
possible for Murphy to drop Evers at any
time after giving him ten days notice. 1t
was only after Murphy had convinced
Bresnahan that such was the condition of
Evers contract that the latter accepted
the Cub terms for. according to reports,
Bresnahan would not have gone to Chi
cago unless he stood a chance of becom-
ing Evers' successor. 1t is, of course, sur
prisipg that Evers, who is considered a
wise base ball man, could be led to be-
lieve that he had a three-year contract
when the ten-day clause was not stricken
out.
Some of these people that are pick
ing the Cubs for sixth or seventh
place are going to get badly fooled"
says Johnny Evers. 81 have five candi-
dates for shortstop, and any one Of

None Of the suggestions regarding
changes in the playing rules was con-
sidered by either of the major leagues.
In fact, the rules committee did not even
meet and the game will continue to be
played during the coming season as it
has in the past. Most everybody has
some ideas as to rule changes which
should be made in the code, but fortu-
nately those in charge Of the game see no
necessity for making any changes, for
the very good reason that the public
seems to be satisfied with the game as it
is played today.
It is no easy matter to improve base
ball. 1t has about reached that stage
Of perfection where any changes might
prove detrimental. The old complaint
that there is not enough batting is not
borne out by the attendance figures. No
one interested in base ball is staying
away from the ball parks because he is
not satisfied with the hitting. In fact,
the game has prospered. more since the
rules decreased the number of safe drives
than it ever did before. The oid-cme
smuggling matches would not be popular
now, when the games which are most en-
ioyed are those in which the score is close
and which are not definitely decided until
the last man is retired.
There has been much printed about the
ability Of many of the young outhelders
Griffith will try out this spring, and yet
it would not be at all surprising If the
most brilliant Of these has been over
looked. According to George Stallings.
of the Boston team, and Mike
Kahoe. the Nationals scout. there is no
better looking youngster In the squad
than Allen who was purchased from
Sharon, Pa, last fall. Stallings was dick
erIng for this youngster when kahoe Sc
cured him, and the Boston man has been
loud in his praise of Allen ever since. He
is still very young, but has all the ear
marks of a great player according to
those VINO have seen him play, and it is
predicted that he will have as good
chance to make the team as any of the
others. There does not appear to be a

NEW YORK, February 13.-Jem Dris-

That Jacinto Calvo is a natural hitter
is shown by the remarkable average he
has made this winter in Cuba. He was
forced to face the three crack pitchers of
the Athletics-Bender, Plank and Coombs
in twelve or more games, and acquitted
himself splendidly. His average up to a
week ago was .392 mark which few
players could reach during three or

NEW YORK, February 14.-New York
is experiencing the sensation that comes
creeping over the reveler as he wends
his way homeward in the cool, gray dawn
of the morning after" And all because
base ball club owners, managers, players,
ump1res and camp followers have pulled
up stakes and hied themselves hence.
After half week of meetings and
lobby sessions, with old Dame Rumor bat
ting thousand and actual business bat
ting under three hundred the states have
been cleaned and winter base ball is
over. The men who make the game are
now involved in the spring training cam
paigns.
In way there was not as much actual
business transacted during the sessions of
the American and National leagues and
the national commission as it was ex-
pected would be accomplished Fan
DOM anticipated and was chiefly inter-
ested in trades, and it was generally pre-
dicted that several big deals would be
consummated before the meetings broke
up. In this respect the gatherings were
practically unproductive.
Some minor exchanges and sales were
negotiated. but none of the big doings
materdalized.
Scarcity of Players.
To degree this was caused by the
scarcity of good ball players. Never in
the history Of the game have players OF
merit been as scarce as they are at pres
ent. Managers are willing to trade, but
they would not consider sales and when
trades were considered the result gener-
ally was that neither Of the negotiating
parties could see where the strength
of his club would be materially enhanced.
Joe" Tinker came here with $4,000 to
purchase players. and nary a one could
he get. He said that whenever he men,
toned buying player the manager or
owner of the club merely smiled and an
nounced that he could do business II he
wanted to trade Bescher or Suggs or
some other Of his best players. but there
was nothing doing in the sale thing.
Il am particularly anxious to get q
catcher and am willing to pay as much

from McGraw, but haven't even broach-

believe 1t Is worth while. I am sure that
he wants to keep Hartley.
