KIRKPATRICK GLAD
HE'S A FEDERAL
Former Member of Tigers En-
thusiastic Over Playing With
Otto knabe'S Baltimore Club.
FINNERAN IN THE PARTY

BALTIMORE, March 12.-Enos
Kirkpatrick, former member of the
Newark International League Club,
was an object for many curious eyes
as the members of the Baltimore Fed
eral League Club left here for South
ern Pines, N. c., the training quar-
ters, yesterday. The fans crowded
around and referred to him as the
triple jumper Kirkpatrick will prob
ably cover the third sack, but before
he is sure of this position he will
have to show Manager Knabe more
than Runt Walsh, who Is also after
the job. Kirkpatrick was among the
first of the big leaguers to pen his
name to a Federal League contract.
Enos, however, changed his mind
shortly afterward, and then signed a
Brooklyn contract, first for a season
and then for three years. After think
ing the matter over, Kirkpatrick
/ finally concluded that he was the
property of the Feds, inasmuch as
! he originally signed with them. Later,
in letter to Secretary Goldman, he
assuerd the local official that he
would play with the Feds, and will
make good his promise.
Kirkpatrick said upon leaving that
he had received numerous letters
from Charley Ebbets, president of
the Brooklyn Club, asking him to re-
turn to the Dodgers. In one of these
letters Ebbets said that If he played
with the Federal League he declared
he would be placed on the black list.
Pitcher Frank Smith also received
a similar communication. However,
both players expressed themselves as
being perfectly satisfied to play with
Baltimore.
Joe Finneran, OF East Orange, N.
J., was also in the leaving party.

ARK Evening starr
COLUMBUS, Ca, March 12.-There
is scout in camp, disguised In the
garb of a common, ordinary, every
day, nothing-to do citizen and base
ball fan. An innocent-looking party
has been scrutinizing the work of the
Tiger Juveniles for the past few days.
He is believed to be the representa-
tive of another International League
club, and his object in coming here
is to look over the youngsters, some
OF whom Harry Smith will surely
nave to pass up sooner or later

waivers, Mr.. Sleuth's evidence will be

BuHalo Club, is suspected as the party
Who Will step up and put in a claim
for some youngster.
Clymer Interested in Smith, Jr,
Clymer is interested particularly in
George Smith, jr. Had not the New
ark Club beaten Bill to 1t, the Bison
boss might have had Smith training
with the Herd in Charlotte, N. C.
Newark has q most promising set
of young recruits, and Harry Smith
is loud in his praises of the new
corners. When the Newark Club
comes to decide on who will be re-
tanned and who will go, the men dis
posed Of will be let out on strong
strings. After losing Marty Kava-
nagh last year through the careless
ness of George L. Solomon, Harry
Smith is naturally loath to talk busi-
ness with any minor leaguers about
his youngsters, and two clubs which
have been crossed off the list, In all
probability, are York and Scranton.
The time for pruning is still far off,
however, and the youngsters are all
working assiduously and with conf
dence of their ability to stick.
