DUNN KNOWS HOW
TOP|CK LIVE ONES
Leader of Birds a Fine Judge of
TaIent-In Mack's
Class.

When it comes TO picking live ones
Jack Dunn is getting in Connie
Maeks class Perhaps the associa-
ton between the two has sharpened
Dunn's ability as a scout. Jack al
ways was q. really good judge of base
ball material OF the crop Of young
sters Dunn has picked up to fill in
the gaps made by sales. the most
promising is Murray, a Holy Cross
phenom, who is guarding the red light
cushion as skillfully as did Midkiff
and hitting just as hard, if not hard
err, than the former Yankee.
Among the other new men in the
Birds line-up is Dunn, jr.. a most
promising young player, son of the
Baltimore manager. Pedone, the
right fielder, was recalled from the
Wilmington club, where Dunn had
him planted. Another pitcher Jar
man, is due to join the team today.
He has been sojourning in the Tri-
State League.
The Birds will play two games here
tomorrow with the Tigers and one
contest is on the docket for today.
The following letter was sent to
Charles H. Ebbets, jr., president of
the Newark Club today, in apprecia-
ton of his generosity in allowing the
youngsters to see yesterdays game
between the Tigers and Orioles at
Wiedenmayer's Park:
Dear Sir-The radiant faees-and
noises-of the three thousand en-
thusiastic little brothers at Wieden-
Do, ri rfA
proved to all present that young
America is still as vigorous and as
hopeful as ever. The Big Brother
Movement is based on this energetic
striving for better things. Your kind
invitation to our young fans shows
that you too have faith in our boys,
our future nation. Consequently We
desire to thank you most sincerely
for your hospitality. and to say that
We are glad to find so many friends
ready to assist in building up
cleaner, stronger manhood in our city
and land.
"A. v. HAMBURG, President,
THE Big Brother Movement"
Bert Daniels, the outfielder, who
refused to be sold" TO Louisville,
will remain with the Birds for the re-
mainder of the season. Daniels was
dickering with the Feds, but Dunn
had a confab with him yesterday,
with the result that Daniels will re-
turn TO the Birds lineup today.
Catcher McAvoy is a born hitter.
Mattern passed the kid purposely yes
terday, which is a big compliment to
his ability.
Gus 5Getz's double play was a time
" windup in the ninth. 1t probably
saved an extra inning battle.
Mattern was put to the test several
times but was always steady in the
pinches. The warmer the weather the
better the average pitcher likes it.
The Tigers leave after tomorrow's
double header for a tour which will
include five of the cities in the circuit.
Providence is the first stopping place
and then the team moves to Buffalo
and the other northern cities.
Following tomorrow's game New
ark fans will be without baseball IN
til Thursday, August Z.
Eddie Zimmerman's error was ex-
eusable The ball was wet and he
made a funny little wild throw.
Pedone takes exception to the
stories which have circulated around
the league that he is Cuban. Some
of the scribes got him mixed with
Padrone. of the Atlantic League.
Pedone said yesterday there is no r"
in his name.
Tooley's hurried heave in the ninth
put MatIern in a bad hole. 1t takes
some pitching to creep out of it with
a man on second and none out but
Mattern was equal to the task.
The youngsters made dash from
the grand stand when it started to
rain and there was no holding them.
They started to creep under and came
up through the openings on the right
side Of the stand and in few mo-
ments the place was swarming with
boys.
"Bic Brothers Day" will probably
be fixture hereafter
