Winning Honors In Texas

The Houston (Texas) Daily Post
is profuse in its praise of "a swar-
thy and stocky lad from Vermont, .
otherwise Max Gilfillan. In a recent
base ball game between Rice and A.
and M. Gilflllan was sent into the
box in the ninth to stave off an i'm
minent defeat for A. and M. Accord
ing to the Post he succeeded in
steadying the boat and made posi-
BILE a tie score of IL to / 1 in eleven
innings. When Max entered the
game in the ninth there were runners
on second and third and none out.
Only four men faced him in this in
ming and three of them were strike
outs. He hit one and passed one in
the tenth and then famed three.
Another strike-out in the eleventh
made his total seven in three innings
and not hit or score was registered
against him. In commenting on the
game the Post says that Gilfillan's
work was the real feature of the af-
ternoon and further that Gillian
and Russell look like one of the best
college batteries in Texas.

BALTIMORE, Jan. G.-Franh otto
Knabe, new manager of the Federal
League team in Baltimore. who signed
last night, is on a still hunt for players
today Gossip here is that he may get
some of his teammates from the Phila-
delphia Nationals. This is based on
Knabes business trip to the Quaker
City today.
Knabe did not demand bank deposit
of his three years salary. as was eX-
pected. and the Terrapins' directors are
much pleased at the compliment.
"I think the Federal League will be a
success" said Knabe. ''and that is the

Bescher will probably tremble next fan

lis penitence.
The Cincinnati club has received con-
siderable criticism since Joe Tinker was
summdrily fired. Garry Herman has
shown his strength in going through
with that trade, but II will be a long
season, and he will have that bunch OF
