PINCH HITTER MCCORMICK
is H0LD-OUT ON GIANTS

NEW YORK. Feb. Hilary Nc
Cormick's idea of his worth to the
Giants as pinch hitter extraordinary
apparently does not coincide with that
held by Manager McGraw. Harry Is
still outside the pale.
He visited the Giants headquarters
yesterday ostensibly to sign a contract,
but after a conference with McGraw
left without having put a pen to pa
per. McGraw evidently anticipated no
trouble with Mac as a holdout, for be-
fore he stepped into his private office to
talk business with the champion pinch
puncher he tipped off the scribes that
he expected to announce in a few min
utes that Mccormick had signed.
After being closeted with his man
ager for a short time. however, McCor-
mick came out, and it was evident from
his manner that he was not pleased
with the proposition made to him.
1t is not believed, however that the
difference between what Harry thinks
he is worth and what the club is will
ing to pay him for the season is so
great that they can not come to an
agreement before the start is made TO
Marlin.

J. Bradley Hogg, Georgian and
Mercer Graduate, Counted on
By Finn to Equal Al Demaree

TOBILE. ALA, Feb. III.
MI Bradley Hogg Is the name
of a pitcher Manager Mike
Finn has secured, who he expects
to take the place Of AL Demaree or
the 1913 Mobile club. J. Bradley
comes to the Mobile club via the
draft route from the New England
league and claims Buena Vista, Ga,
as his home, where he now awaits
the call from Manager Finn to re-
port here for practice. Hogg is
anxious to come to Mobile and has
written the Gull leader that the
change to the South, his home, Ia
most welcome to him.
Hogg. as that J. Bradley he wears
in front OF his name would imply,
is a college boy, and is a graduate
OF Mercer college. at Macon. Ga.
Manager Finn, in writing of Hogg,
says:
THE year was scouting for the
New York club I looked at Hogg
for a week, saw him pitch two
games, winning both, one of them
against CAN'T, Of the University of
North Carolina, considered the star
pitcher of Southern colleges that
year. the beating he suffered at
Hogg's hands being the first time
he had been defeated. CAN'T is now
with the Baltimore club. Although
Hogg looked well in those games,
l could not see where he would
benefit McGraw at the time and did
not recommend him. The Boston
Nationals, however. picked him up
when he finished school at Mercer,
Joining them about June l. He was

make much of showing and was

TIM HURST, the veteran umpire,
tells one on Bill Dahlen, man
ager Of the Brooklyn Nationals,
when Bill was a youth toiling un-
der Cap. Arson in Chicago. Said
he:
"Anson called Dahlen good and
hard in a game / was umpiring in
Chicago. Dahlen took it without
saying a word, but few minutes
later Bill remarked to me: Watch
me bark that old fellows shins.'
Ans was not as agile then as he
was in his younger days and he
stopped with much effort. All
through that game Bill made great
stops, only to throw the ball few
feet in front Of the bag, and it
was up to Arson to stop it with his
shins.
However, that was not the end
Of it. A few days later the White
Stockings had to make a trip to
st. Louis, and Arson told Dahlen he
would not be taken on the trip. Bill
had been told that several times
and he thought Ans was only fool
ing. The train left Chicago about
midnight and Dahlen was with the
rest of the team.
when the train was about rs
miles out of Chicago the conduc-
tor told Arson there were sixteen
men in the party and he had re-
ceived only fifteen tickets. Arson
said there were only fifteen men
and named the berths they occu-
pied.
The man in berth No. Z says
he Is member of the Chicago
team, said the conductor, who was
referring to Dahlen. He's stringing
you replied Arson. Poor Bill was
asked to cough up and couldn't.
The train was stopped, and Dahlen
was put off about thirty miles
from Chicago. How he got back to
Chicago only Bill himself knows,
but he would not talk to anybody
for a week"
