meet on the corner lot and pick sides.
Everybody wanted to play with the

fans of Newark able to be down here
in Columbus today they might see
some of those same scenes enacted.
Manager Harry Smith is choosing

Halls side.

Now this same W. NJ. Hail. as he

| Mathewsons famous fade-away,
neither does he boast the dashing de-

, he has the smoke OF Joe Wood with
out Woods control. There you have
the reason in a nutshell. Everybody
likes to take sides with this Beany
Hall party in a practise scuffie. Mr..
Hall has been known to do much more
damage with his bloody bean bah

the Biblical ass. At this stage of the
year speed and smoke are in them

lacks control in the bargain a bat
ter's life isn't worth what the New
ark franchise was in the United

players don't care to run the risk OF

Smith still Has Faith.
In spite of Beany's wildness and
untalned delivery, Manager Harry
| Smith still possesses the utmost faith
in the youngsters future.
Harry says he remembers when
Bill Donovan broke into baseball.
which shows Harry is not sensi-
tive about his age. Anyhow. the.
Bengals' leader says that Don
ovan was even wilder than
Hall. Tiger players don't believe 1t,
but Harry sticks to the story. Well
when Bill got going and gained con-
troll. through practise, none of the
big teams could hit him, and he was
a tower OF strength to the Detroit
team few years ago. when the Jen-
ming stars were winning pennants in
punches.
/ Brooklyn Camp Watched.
/ Reports from the Brooklyn camp at
Augusta are keenly scrutlnized by tina
Tigers here. They say that this
young shortstop, Mara. is burning
up the grass at the park in Augusta
with his speed. Young Move, from
the New York State League. is also
going at a lively clip. Riggert, Larry
Sutton phenom. is beginning to peel
off long hits, and Ring Neyhous and
| Pennington have made good impress
sions as boxmen. Also, this infor-
nation is important to the Tigers, for
any of these may be seen in Newark
livery before the season opens. The
rivalry between the Tigers and Su-
perbas will be greater than ever this
season, especially if John Hummel
becomes Bengal. Hummel has
been with the Brooklyn Club so LONG
that it was thought he would be pen.

Speaking about first basemen. Ma
tional League players who watched
Enos Kirkpatrick perform last season
in practise and in times when Dau-
bert was out of the game declare
that Enos would have been a great
first sacker for any other team. OF
course, he had no chance of replacing
| Daubert, but had he not jumped to
the Feds, the big leaguers declared
Newark woulF have had a cracker
Jack man in Enos.
Fed Offers Still Coming.
Fed offers are still coming TO
