Kitty Bransfleld, manager of the
Montreal Royals. is anxious to sep
arate an outfelder from Harry
Smith. The leader of the Royals
would like to get either Leo Witter-
steatter or Leo Callahan from the
Tigers. Bransfield declares that the
Newark club should not be so selfish
as to hold five gardeners at time
like this when other clubs need ball
players, especially those which have
suffered like the Fed-ridden Royals.
Bransfield said he would give a few
kopecs to have band of ballplayers
who could think on the baseball field.
Some may go after players that
into consideration. AS for NINE
says Kitty, nine times out of ten
the fellow who has the gray matter
is a good ballplayer Either Witter-
steatter or Callahan would fit in nice
on my team. Both are good htters,
they tell me, and can field, throw and
are fast"
Bransfield and Smith were in close
consultation for ten or fifteen minutes
and il would be no surprise if Harry
helps his old team-mate out, If 1T is
within his power to do so.
A funny story about John Kennedy,
best ground keeper in the lnterna-
tional League, who was with the
Tigers last year, comes from Jersey
City. After being released by New
ark, Kennedy was grabbed up by the
Skeeter management. President Tom
Fogarty had Kennedy down at Dur
ham, N. c., where John fixed up the
diamond before the Skeeters came to
practise. Larry Schlafly, manager OF
the Buffalo Feds, got dickering with
Kennedy and one fine night John
packed up his grip and decided to
olope He suddenly remembered,
however, that the Jersey City club
owed him check for a half-month's
pay. Kennedy was in a quandry.
The Fed offer was alluring. So were
the good round iron men for which
he had labored. Kennedy cudgeled
his brain for half hour before he
finally took back Brill into his conf
dence "If ] jump" said John, Il
don't get me hard-earned money.
And if do take the leap III get more
money than / get now in a week, but
the extra amount Schlany offers me
won't make up for what ! lose. !

tvs troubles were lessened little
bit.

Four Double-Ileader..

u Just now the Tigers have four
double bills to be decided-three
Through rain and one through drawn
S'contest At this rate there will be
rothing but double-headefs in mid
season. II the Tiger pitchers-the
eight OF EN- are in as good condition
then as now-Nea ark has nothing to
worry about. Indeed. one of Harry
Smiths most difficult problems just
now is to discover which four pitch
ers he wishes to work regularly. To
date he has sent in Johnny EnZmann,
Al Schacht, Cliff Curtis, Jeff Holm
quist and now Arle Britton. Harry
still has Sherrod Smith and Wyatt
Lee, his two southpaws, and George
Bell, the veteran right-hander, ready
to take a fling. Bell is just spelling
to get into a game, while Enzmann,
who has not worked in a full week,
needs q little action to keep in trim.
A. managers task in handling pitch
ers is one of the most delicate jobs
that comes to his lot. Some twirlers
must be worked in turn TO be at their
best; others, like Enzmann. can work
once a week or every five days and be
depended ON TO capture their contest.
Smiths judgment in picking pitchers
and yanking them at the right time
was superb last season, and if there
is any one thing directly responsible
for the Tigers winning the pennant it
was Smiths skilfu handling of the
pitchers. Just now eight pitchers may
seem a whole lot to carry around, but
Harry knows that he'll need them
later with double-headers piling up so
fast il almost requires an adding ma
chine 10 keep track of them.

and New York won, 3 to 1. Demaree

The Giants found Rudolph's delivery

two of their three runs. The other
run resulted from Rudolph's wild
pitch with a man on third base. Bos-

rors by Mclean and Bescher. Mclean
was forced to leave the game IN the
