Montclair watermen,s Last Clash.

Another sport to be closed out this
week between Montelair Academy and
Montclair High School is swimming.
The amphibians of the rival schools
will engage in a dual splash tomor-
row morning in the natatorium of the
Montclair Athletic Club. The Acad-
envy has lost but one meet in the
last Eve years, that being to the
Barringer crew, captained by Ray
Smith, now the leader of the Brown
University watermen. Hence it is a
favorite in tomorrow's dual meet, The
high school swimmers are instilled
with. the same spirit as the basket
ball team, however, and will do their
utmost to record q victory.

Drafted by Detroit.

In the fall of the latter year De-

was sold to Atlanta before the time
came to report for spring training.
Climate Got Him.
In 1911 and part of 1912 I was with
Atlanta, but the climate finally got
me. 1t is hard for a Northerner to
come down here in Dixie and stand
the steady sweltering heat all sum
mer. For the same reason IL is
easier for Southern ballplayers to
keep the fast pace in the big leagues
when some of the other fellows arc
willing. Climate changes have lot
to do with any athlete, as you will
notice by boxers who come from the
coast frequently and have trouble
at first because of the difference in
the air. l was delighted when At
lanta finally turned me over to Lynn.

DONNELLY LOOKS
GOOD RIGHT NOW
Big Ed Coming Back Strong
and Seems to Have
Everything.
E. Jimmy SCARES RECRUITS
(From a STAFF Correspondent Of the New
ark Evening Star)

Qrom STAIR Correspondent of the New
ark Evening Star)
COLUMBUS, Ga, March 6.-Big Ed
Donnelly has been buffeted about
among the minor and major leagues
like a cork during the past few years,
but. Judging from the speed big Ed
is showing these days. he is deter
mined to hook on with the Tigers this
year. The boys say that Ed has
more this spring than he showed last
year. Best of all, he has control. A
year ago Ed could not get the ball
across the plate while he wore a New
ark uniform, because every time he
cut loose 1t went wild. When he eased
up and tried to control, the enemy
cracked the pill. After going to
Scranton, Donnelly worked often, and
his control came back.
Wildness Due to Sore Arm.
Donnelly's chief ailment for the past
two years-chronie wildness-can be
attributed to sore arm, which he
acquired while with the Boston Ma
tionals in 1912. The year before DON
nelly pitched winning ball for the
Beaneaters, but in 1912 he caught cold
in his arm on the homeward journey
from the spring training camp. The
Boston National Park in the Hub is
swept by winds almost daily, and
pitchers are troubled great deal for
this reason. Instead of improving,
Eds arm grew worse. Just now he
says it feels as fine as ever, and Jack
Dalton and Hi Myers agree with the
big fellow.
Dalton, in particular, has habit of
walloping the pill through the box
back at the pitcher, and Donnelly cut
loose with Jack at bat, just to pro-
tect himself. Jack says the sphere
was jumping an inch when Donnelly
used his fast one. A little stiffness in
his right knee is now Donnelly's only
ailment, but he is working assidiously
to overcome this handicap. Doc Gam
bichler is giving big Ed extra atten-
ton, because Ed is always good
humored and ready to laugh and joke
even during the first few days of the
practise, when everybody was feeling
stiff and sore.

Quake at Training Camp.

Baseball teams in training in
Georgia and Tennessee were some-
what shocked late yesterday by q
slight earthquake. 1t was a mere
tremor of very short duration. Some
of the Tigers felt 1t and remarked
that Frank Baker must have hit the
ball down in st. Augustine, where the
Athletics are training. The quake"
was felt in several nearby towns
where league teams are working out.
Reports from Atlanta, Macon, Au-
gusta, Athens and as far as Chatta-
nooga and Birmingham, contained ac-
counts of a slight tremor being felt.
All sorts of suggestions were made by
the Tiger players. Some thought the
Federal League exploded, others said
that one of the Tiger heavyweights
was sliding to base. but still others
hazarded the guess that some Barry"
must have pulled a bone" in some
nearby camp and was being given his
discharge papers

COLUMBUS, Ca, March GA new
cleanup hitter Is looming up at the
Tigers batting door. Just now the
man who seems to have the inside
track on the slugger's position left
vacant by Harry Swacina is Gus
Getz. Getz connected with the sphere
as often in the pinches last season as
any of them. and this year he is ex-
pected to do even better. A big ma
1ority OF his safeties came with men
on the bases at time when runners
scurTying over the pan with runs won
ball games.
Ideal Cleanup Man.
Gus is an ideal man for the clean
up job, and in a way has it on Swa-
Gina, for he Is faster on the bases and
stands more chance of getting around
when he does reach first. Getz will
fill in the fourth place on the regular
batting order probably until Hummel
reports. The waiver net seems to
have Hummel deeply enmeshed
Getz Free Hitter.
Getz is what might be called free
hitter. He can comb ball outside
OF the plate as hard as a plate-cutter.
For this reason 1t is difficult for a
pitcher TO waste one on the Tigers
crack second sacker. His pinch hits
last year broke up fully as many
games as Swacina did. This may
seem like an exaggeration to some
fans. but when you take a glance at
the old dope books the records reveal
that Swacina drove in more runs, but
Getz sent in more telling tallies,
which proves that Gus is there in the
supreme pinch. which some love to
term as the psychological moment,
Kraft Seems Lost.
The news has reached here that all

leans recruit of the Superbas. who

Tigers, is past. The New Orleans

and has the right to him If he is

am new in this league aud ..he
fans don't know much about me, but
| must say / am delighted to get
chance to develop under an expert
enced manager like Harry smith. It
is handicap for a new man to break
in without the aid of first-class
catcher, especially a pitcher who ia
not thoroughly posted on the likes
and dislilSes of batters in a league in
Which he has never pitched before.
One thing which impressed me most
or all when I Joined the Tigers last
fall was the harmony and good fell
iowship on the team. They are the
most friendly set of ball-players I
ever worked with. On some clubs the
old-timers are always harping on n
man trying to break in, but with the
Tigers it is different The fellows
who have had experience and are wise
old heads are always ready to lend O.
helping hand.
