The American Security and Trust and
Cornell teams are made up of entirely
different material, The first mentioned
is recruited almost entirely from college
and school teams. while the latter has on
its roster the best semi-professional play
erS in the DiStrict-men who have had
experience in professional ball. There
are only one two men in the lineup
of the PaperhangerS who have not had
professional experience. In the regular
lineup there are Ltz. Howard. Brown,
Brewer. EsdmonSton. Thompson, Marceron
and Green. eight out of the nine. who

one time or another. Only two of the

professional ball, and that very little,
Shipley and Morris having been given
trials during the training season year
ago last spring.
Few players leave here in the spring to
take chance in the minor leagues who
make good as well as have Buck Barton
and Dutch Munich. Both these lads have
done exceptionally well. Munich is in
Syracuse, in the New York State League.

work has been above the average and
he stands a good chance to go higher
according to report. Barton is with New
port News. in the Virginia League and is
the only winning pitcher on the club He
is the only man that has pitched with
anything like consistency, and he has

of the Nationals. who has had no trial
and even with a poor club behind him,
has managed to hold his own.
one reason why Barton and Munich are
doing so Well is undoubtedly because
Grifhth took both men south during the
training season and they reported to
their respective minor league berths in
the best Of condition. They also had the
benefit of excellent coaching during the
month at Charlottesville. something which
does not come to all minor league per-
formers.

about his having the stuff to make a
good pitcher.
1t is worth mentioning that Loomis,

day, has not lost a ball game this year.
He pitched all the spring on his col

March 81. He has been hurling them
over pretty regularly since that time
posing batters always say that Loomis
does not have any great amount of
stuff, but it is rather peculiar that he
is never hit effectively.
