Otto Knabe, manager of the Balti-
more Federal League Club, just missed
a chance to win $500 on a bet because
the man at first willing to wager re-
neged at the last moment. Scrappy
Bill Mccullough, secretary Of the
Pittsburgh Federal League Club, told
the story yesterday of how the former
Phillie second baseman lost his chance
to get $500 for nothing.
a month ago Otto was in the office
of the local outlaw club, and Incl
dentally remarked that if Mccullough
could prove that he got two letters
from Charlie Doom he could win $500
which friend was willing to wager.
The Pittsburgh secretary told him to
go ahead and bet $500 for himself and
$500 for him, at the same time show
ing Knabe the letters. The latter then
went East, and on his next trip here,
he told Mccullough that the party
had backed down in his agreement to
make the bet.
Mccullough said to Knabe: who
was the fellow that wanted to bet
that | didn't have the Doom letters
and then backed DOWN."
Charlie Doom" replied Knabe.

seniors of the house of Doom were
able to conquer the freshmen at Sun
set Park. Wilmington. N c., yester-

No Heavy Road Work.

Some baseball managers believe in
road work of the gruelling kind for
spring training. Not so Harry
Smith. The Bengal leader approves
of a slight jog round the one-mile
track down here, but that is all. A
ball player is not out to tougher his
muscles as a coal driver might be.
His action must be nimble quick and
springy, and heavy work tends to
make a man slower in every move.

DUNN'S ORIOLES
HIT BY OUTLAWS
Baltimore Leaders Glee Turned
to Sorrow When Fred Parent
and Dan Murphy Jump.
ROYALS LOSE ANOTHER

Jack Dunn. manager of the Balti-
more club of the International League,
was the happiest leader of the Bar
row circuit at the meeting in New
York last Friday. Jack announced
that he had signed nearly thirty men,
including recruits and regulars, in
addition to the purchase of Danny
Murphy last seasons captain of the
Athletics. Today Dunn is worried.
He received word at training quarters,
In Fayetteville. N. c., that Freddie
Parent had jumped. Yesterday he
obtained news that Danny Murphy
had also Topped. Now he is waiting
to hear who next will turn his eyes
towards the Federals. Dunn's team,
however. is still one of the best in
the Feds may have started dam
aging raid on Jacks men, as they
nave been doing with other clubs.
Sol Lichtenhein, who popularized the
Il should worry" slogan at the meet
ing last week, is just beginning to
feel the effects of the outlaws. Sol
didn't care a rap how many players
the Feds corralled from his Royals,
but TODAY he looks at the situation
very differently. 1t was announced
yesterday that he had four new men
on his roster and was busy endeavor-
ing to sign more. Another Royal was
added to the Fed roster yesterday
when First Baseman Art Griggs
Hoped to the Brooklyn Tiptops.

COLUMBUS, Ga, March 11.-Base-
ball fans the country over consider it
just and proper that their twenty-five
cents or fifty cents planked down to
gain admission to the ball park en-
titles them to criticise and pass judg-
ment on ball players Some fans are
natural knockers. and always ready
to pick out the bad plays in passing
Judgment Others see only the good
points Arguments arising over diff
ferences of opinions on various stars
have helped materially to make base
ball the most popular game in the
world. But if it is right for the fans
to judge ball players it might be fair
and square of the bah players To say
a word or two about the crowds
which witness the games daily.
Players Think Newark Peculiar Town.
The consensus of opinion among the
Tigers here is that Newark is a most
peculiar town In regard to ball
players. Tiger fans have never been
known TO ride a man because they
did not like him. They have always
been tolerant. The most unpopular
manager Newark ever had whose
name need not be mentioned, always
received fair deal from the stands.
The Tiger fans showed their dislike
to his methods by staying away from
the bah park In other cities they
might have gone out to the games and
hurled a torrent of abuse at him.
Newark players all swear by Tiger
fans and say they are as loyal as any
they have ever met. The very fact
that Billy Zimmerman, a local boy,
has ia ennl upflar tho hp n6ipa of
playing in his home town; that the
fans never knock him. even when he
is in the deepest part of a batting
slump, shows the observation-disclosures
of the fans. That Newark fans are
loyal has often been evinced by their
quiel1ness in standing up for the
Tigers rights when they got the i'm
passion that an umpire was not deal
ing fairly with the team.

Unless there is a slight change in
the weather conditions in the near
future, IT Is doubtful whether the
Princeton baseball team will be able
to play its initial contest on March
%. 1t may be just possible to play
the game on one of the grass dia-
munds; that is if the weather for the
next three weeks is favorable. Coach
Bill Clark appeared in the cage yes
terday after a short absence. He had
the candidates batting and also bunt-
ing and running to first. Candidates
for pitcher have not as yet been al
lowed to show what they have on the
ball. Straight balls alone are thrown.
Yesterday Coach Clark, for the first
time, had the twirlers put a little
speed into their work.
