the Newark Club says that Ed. Don
nelly will be taken South with th'
rest of the Tigers, according to pres
ent plans. Baseball history is full o.
just such examples where a player
who was canned comes back by some
rare chances and makes good with
vengeance.
Joe Kelley, manager of the Toronto
Club, is still hanging around the
baseball meeting. Kel has severa,
men he is willing to trade, but he will
probably stand pat on the rest OF
his material.

Larry Schlafiy and Joe Agler lost
about $1,000 bet ween them when the
Beach city bank, in which their
money was deposited, went to the
wall. That is why Schlafly did not
get up to the meeting,
From the dubious reports that are
going the rounds the clubs Of the
Tri-State League are not any too en-
thusiastic about the chances of plac-

tened Brooklyn manager, is still hope
full of landing Claude Derrick, former
Athletics utility infielder, as his reg

the Baltimore International League
Club Robinson is giving Jack Dunn,
of the Orioles, all sorts of worry with
propositions to get Derrick.

talked trade with all the cunning of
magnates. They were present at
many of the tanning bees in the lobby.
The New York American League
Club announced the purchase of Les
ter Channel, outfielder, from Denver,
of the Western League.
Players who may be involved in a
big deal are Konetehy and Magee,
of the Cardinals, and Merkle, Snod-
grass. Wilson and Stock, of the
Giants.
Charley Herzog and Larry Mclean
were the only members of the Ma
tional League champions present
yesterday. Herzog ran up from
Maryland TO ascertain the truth of
some rumors he has heard. He fatty
states that he will not play with q
western club. He might not object to
a transfer TO Brooklyn if new con-
tract is offered him, but managers of
other clubs are convinced that he will
not go West and have ceased to bid
for him.
Manager Robinson, OF Brooklyn, as
sured Herzog that he would be
pleased to offer him the vacant short
field in Brooklyn, but Robby was far
more enthusiastic about 1t than Her
zog. There is possibility that Her
zog may be mixed up In a deal tina
will land him with the Phillies. as o.
second baseman in case Knabe goes
to the Reds lie would not object TO
playing there, as Philadelphia is the
National League city closest to his
Maryland farm.
Herzog is working under a three
year contract, which has another
year TO run. AS good a guess as any
is that he will remain with the
Giants, for there seems to pc some
doubt as to whether Shafer will
play ball next season. With both
Shafer and Herzog' missing McGraw
would be left with only Milton Stock
as a third baseman, and Stock is yet
an experiment as a big Lacquer.
Governor Tener does not antici-
pate making any changes in the pres
ems staff of National League umpires.
Charley Rigler was the only arbitra-
tor present yesterday. He has just
returned from Cuba.
1t was reported that Lannin and
Taylor, owners of the Boston Red
Sox, had been dickering with Far
rell, of the Yankees, for the release
of Ford and that they were ready to
hand over an outfielder and an in
fielder for the spitball artist. 1t was
limited that Hendrickson and Janvrin
were wanted by the New Yorl1s, but
there was nothing official on tap.
One of the funniest incidents of the
second days powwow was a young
New York reporter getting Clark
Griffith mixed up with Fred Clarke
and quizzing him about the Tinker
deal When addressed as Mr.. Clarke
the Washington manager took it for
granted that the reporter meant
Clark Griffith. Upon being asked
about Tinker Griff declared he did
not want him and didn't think he
could get him If he did. The report
er was rushing to the phone with a
"big story when Griff tumbled and
stopped him in the nick of time.
