right for a ground-rule double and
the other to left for homer. In the
ninth Tyler went in to pitch, and
Tooley, who played a sensational
game, led off with clean wallop
over the left field wall.
Stallings started off with Rudolph,
who was nicked for three hits and
caught three Tigers off the bases be-
Augie Moran let him get away with
it. The game was as clean-cut as a
midsummer tussle, but the big
leaguers failed to exude any of the
pennant winning class of which the
scribes with the team have been
Boosting. These Industrious gentle
men have been so long affiliated and
afflicted with tail-enders that their
judgment is somewhat warped. George
Stallings would probably gladly trade
his entire outtield for the Tiger trio,
and Hank Gowdy is the only catcher
he has who classes up to the fast
company standard.
sherrod Smith Attracts Attention.
Sherr ID Smith also made George
Stallings take notice and 1t was noted
that the former Newark manager
took out his notebook and logged
down something after Sherrod had
allowed one clean hit and two
scratches in four innings. Sherrod
left here today for his home in Mans
field, Ca, owing to the Illness of his
sister. He will rejoin the Tigers In
time to pitch against Brooklyn on
Monday. Stallings was making in
quiries today about Leo Callahan
This kid is intensely popular in Bos-
ton, where he makes his home, and If
he were right-handed hitter, Stall
ings would probably have made some
kind of an offer for him. Callahan is
most promising youngster, but he is
not yet q good base-runner and does
not slide properly.
Billy Zimmerman and John Enz-
mann have both recommended catch
ers to Harry Smith. Enzmann is
strong for George Ahles, who used to
catch him in Morristown. Billy Zim-
norman touts William Kelly, a New
ark boy, who backstopped for the IL
gers in exhibition games. An expert
enced catcher, however. is what New
ark needs most.
The Tigers will get into their
sleeper tonight, which Will be side
tracked until $40 tomorrow morning,
when the train pulls out for Augusta.
Harry Smith intends to use George
Bell and perhaps Wyatt Lee today
Stallings will likely call on Hub Per-
due and Otto Hess, two of his best
twirlers, as he wants to clean up. IL
possible.
Harry Smith had another narrow
escape from being laid up yesterday,
when a foul tip from Gilbert's bat
struck him on the big toe. Schacht
was pitching at the time. AL. has
been a hoodoo for Harry, as he was
twirling when Smith was hurt in
similar manner on two occasions last
year.
Federal Agent Around Again.
IL was rumored again yesterday
that u Federal League agent was spy
ing around. The object of these
scouts is said to be to get a line ON
major cast-offs who are likely to be
let out. These men will be grabbed
by the Feds, according to some stor-
les. But the Feds are already over
stocked. Wyatt Lee says that the
time for the minors to jump. If they
want to break their contracts, viii
come when some of the Federal teams
get going bad. 1t seems preposterous
for the Feds to overstock their clubs
without first obtaining an outlet for
players who cannot be retained, The
scout who was reported to be here
was supposed to be from Baltimore.
George Stallings made a big splurge
by getting out an injunction to pre-
vent George Stovall from talking to
his men. He claims this is valid, ac-
cording to the Georgia labor laws, but
ball players scout the idea. Hub Per-
due was falling for the Feds offers
and was on the point of jumping,
hut he has reconsidered his plan.
Stallings is just little bit afraid Of
losing Johnny Evers, too, if things
come to the worst. Hence his plan of
soaring off, or trying to scare off, the
outlaws. just for fun somebody went
through the lobby last night calling
tor George Stovall," and the place
was in an uproar.
A new game was added to the
Tigers exhibition schedule for March
80, g Monday, at Portsmouth. Harry
Smith will probably try out his Yam
nigans in this contest.
