SAVANNAH, Ga, March 22.-Hi
Myers, of East Liverpool. o., may
wake up some of these fine morn
ings and find himself a regular gar
dener of the 1913 Tiger team. Hi" as
be was nicknamed by Brooklyn ink
singers, has convinced Manager
Smith that he has hitting qualities
and speed on the bases, though, like
many of the other Tigers, has not
found his batting optic because of the
dismal weather of the last few after
Moons
Myers comes in for a boost from
Manager Smith after Harry has care
fully studied and noted all of his
good points. This Myers person
nicked off something like pa base
hits in the Western League last
season and stole so many bases there
weren't any left for any one else to
steal. Smith says that Harry is also
a first-class man on the defensive in
protecting his territory.
The fact that Hi has been played in
left field on the Yannigans' outfield
was taken to mean that Smith feared
he might lose Billy Zimmerman a.
any time. but word comes from Au-
gusta today that Benny Meyers is
due to join the Brooklyn team today,
just as we have predicted right along.
and Billy Zimmerman is not needed
in the Brooklyn camp.
Smith says his reason for working
Myers in the portside patch is that
Hi has been a left fielder for several
seasons, and Smith did not want to
shift him to one of the other fields
until he struck his stride. Smith
wanted to get look at the youngster
working in his regular style in a po-
sition with which he should be thor
oughly familiar.
'In my opinion" said Smith to-
day, many managers make mis-
take in trying to have good ball
player change his position or style.

1eteran catchers and managers who

The peer of the Australian cyclists,
this morning at o'clock on the
French line steamer France from
Paris. Goullet, who is signed to ride
at the Newark Velodrome this season,
came to Newark at once, and will
start training for the opening meet
at once.
The Australian says he is in great
shape, and appears to be in excellent
condition. The trip across the At
lantic was not as smooth as it might
phave been, but Goullie is a good
sailor. and he never missed the call
for mess.
This will be Goullet's third season
at the Velodrome, and both he and his
manager, Floyd Mcfarland, actually
believe that the wonderful Kramer
is going to step down and out as the
perpetual champion of America,
Goullet to be his successor. Be that
as it may, Goullet us great fighter,
and he has a fighting manager, and
IL they do not realize their ambition
they will have the satisfaction when
the smoke of battle clears late in
September that they had try, any,
how Everyone in cycle racing circles,
and especially Kramer. realizes that
this, which is Kramer's thirteenth
year, is going to be his hardest, and
Goullet is the man who is going to
be his most dangerous competitor.
Mcfarland put up some wonderful
battles with Clarke in quest of
Kramer's title, and with Goullet, who
is a better fighter than little Jackie
abd possessed with more speed and
better judgment, it surely looks like
ja dangerous yeara for Kramer.
Goullet was very glad to get back to
America and Newark. The Austria
liam was, for an unknown reason, very
unpopular in Europe. Speaking of
his campaign in Europe, Goullet de-
clared that next to his ambition to
win the championship of America his
greatest desire is to go back and
clean up every Frenchman on the
continent.
said Goullet, land every time / rode,
