ark Evening start
MACON, Ga, March 1s.-Something
like sixty players were thrown to-
gether last night when the Newark
international League champions ar
rived at the Dempsey House, prepared
to meet the Stallingsites today. Need
less to say the baseball bug was buzz
zing overtime. Many of the Tigers
who were formerly Brooklyn players
renewed acquaintances with George
Stallings men, and other who played
International League baseball before
wearing the Braves costume also
talked on all matters of interest In the
baseball world. About the first thing
the Tigers and the Braves did was to
discuss the fraternity. All of the ball
players are in favor of salaries for
spring training next year, and they
viii probably put 1t up to the mag
"a mates next season to pay them while
Tin traiping or else curtail the spring
5slslnts into Dixie
1t is figured out that Harry Smith
will use a left-hander today, as Bos-
ton has five southpaw hitters in its
regular lineup They are, Evers,
Schmidt, Connolly, Mann and Griffith.
stallinEs Wants Bill Collins.
1t was learned here today that
George Stallings had not consented to
waive on Bill Collins, as it was sup
posed he might do when Brooklyn let
go of Joe Schultz. Stallings has four
outfielders here and three of them are
left-handed internationally, Mann
and Griffith. Gilbert, a recruit from
the American Association, hits from
the right side of the pan.
Evers Boosts stallings.
Johnny Evers, when closely pressed,
said few things which should have
made such a vetran as George STALL
ings blush. The willy little Trojan is
loud in his praises Of the former Tiger
manager-probably the most popular
leader the Tigers ever had.
IT played against Stallings all last
season, but 1 did not come to know
Just how much he knows about the
game until I Joined the team two
weeks ago. My only worry is that
will not be able to give him as much
as would like to. This Boston bunch
is fine collection of ballplayers--not
to say that the Cubs were not-but
things are so different here" said
John, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not say the things which might
have fitted across his brain about
Charles A. Murphy, but one could
have read them by his .countenance.
Everything is harmony" continued
club, better than Boston has had in
q long time in the National League.
I think we have a first division club
Braves After Quinn.
It was reported here today that the
Boston club has taken steps to recover
John Pincus Quinn, the former Ro-
chester spitball artist, who deserted
and Joined the Baltimore Feds after
accepting terms with the Boston Ma
tionals by telegraph. John Quinn and
harden are the only Braves Stallings
Sst.
There are a number of former In
ternational Leaguers In the Stallings
squad. Just look over the list: Jack
Martin, late of Rochester; Joe Con-
molly formerly Of Montreal; Fred
Mitchell, ex-Bison; Charlie Schmidt,
e2-Hustler; George Mann, ex-Bison,
and Charley Deal former Providence
third-sacker. Deal has made big hit
with the Braves if he can keep up
his good work.
,Sheckard After Games.
Jimmy Sheckard, manager of the
Cleveland American Association team,
formerly Toledo, telephoned over to-
day requesting a couple of engage
ments with the International League
champions. The Tigers have two
open dates after leaving Chattanooga,
but the jump back to Americas would
not be worth while. Scheckard's team
obtained an even break with the Bos-
ton Nationals in two'games played.
Hank Gowdy, last year with the
, Bisons, has a good chance of sticking,
now that Rariden has jumped the
Braves.
Medicus as Chaperone.
Henry w. Medicus is now champe-
roning the Tigers. The Newark clubs
treasurer arrived here yesterday from
Savannah, where he saw the Provi-
dence team in training He says
Catcher Jack Onslow is laid up with
a broken toe. Bill Donovan is lucky
in not losing a man to the Feds and
his squad is shaping up nicely.
The Tigers will spend two nights
here, in the palatial Dempsey Hotel, a
fine hosiery, eight stories high, with
all Of the newest improvements and
equipment. Mr. Medicus, however,
! was unable to arrange the train sched-
| ules for a convenient jump on the trip
| from here, to be made tomorrow night
when the Tigers set out for Augusta
to meet Brooklyn. The train leaves
lat $40 in the morning, and in order
