FED TEAM IN BAD
Pittsburgh Outlaw Club
Wants to Change Lineup.
BIG LEAGUERs ARE SOUGHT
Failure to Win Sours Promoters, and
Conference With Manager
Is Result.
Special Dispa :ch 10 The Star.

Special Dispa ;ch The Star.
PITTSBURGH. Pa. MAY 2.-Nexed at
the showing made by the Rebels since
the opening o. the season, the owners OF
the local Federal base ball franchise are
said TO be contemplating some radical
charge III the makeup Of the team
To bear out this conclusion, word was
received here this afternoon that Man
ager Doc Gessler had left Chicago for
Pittsburgh and in his absence Rebel
Cakes would have charge OF the team.
The additional news that Pitcher Tom
Roberts and Shortstop Jimmy Scott have
been given their unconditional release
was also received here today.
For the past few days things have not
been well with the Rebels. Although the
team has been hitting fairly well and
the pitchers have been doing good work,
something has been wrong. and according
to authoritative information Manager
Gessler is coming to Pittsburgh to confer
with President Gwinner relative to TAX
ing necessary steps to strengthen the
Rebels Immediately
Who is slated to go will probably not
be known until after GeSser has confer
red with President Gwinner. That will
probably occur tomorrow OF Monday
morning. GesSler is known to have been
negotiating with several big ieaguers for
their services, and he is said to favor
signing them Immediately. How the
powers that be" will view the plan is
not known. but that they are determined
to bring the club up to the caliber of a
pennant contender is indicated by the
hurry-up order to Manager Gessler to
come for a conference.
While little can be learned until the
arrival of Manager Gessler, it con be said
without any great fear of contradiction
that several members OF the present team
are to go and in their places men Of ma
jor league caliber will be secured.
Because the owners of the club are not
satisfied with the standing of the team.
however. is not believed to indicate that
they are dissatisfied with Manager Cess
lers handling of the team.

Johnson. il IS believed needs tonic,
and he is to have one from this out.
Being a teetotaler both as to alcoholic
beverages and tobacco, Johnson does not
get any sort of stimulants, and as he is
a hard worker it is the judgment Of
Trainer Martin that he has gone stale
and will need a little time and tonic 10
bring him back TO form.
That Jim Shaw has the making of a
really great pitcher was demonstrated
to tn. satisfa ctiou of five or SIX thon-
sand fans at yesterdays game. II was
the first game that Shaw mas started
this season, and he showed much I'M
provernent over his work during ias'
fall when lie was used on several occa-
sions. Shaw not only displayed great
speed and a deceptive curve batl nut ne
handled himself like a real pitcher ana
had fairly good control, walking only
two men in the six innings that he work
ed and showing that he has the ability
to steady down after such mlshaps
Shaw is still a mere boy, but he mas
the size Of full-grown man, ana Is sun
growing In some respects ne feIi!HdS
one OF Walter Johnson. though ne Is an
overland aid not 3 side arm pltchef.
while others Who remember the DAYS OF
the famous Amos Rusie see counter
part of this great pitcher in Shaw.
Shaw improved as the game progress
ed and to show this he put some extra
force on the ball when he was informed
that the sixth inning would be his last,
the result being that he struck out the
side IN order
This inning opened as if the Yankees
were to score another run. for by poor
throw Foster had allowed Williams. the
first man up. to reach second Then
Shaw buckled down and struck out Hoi-
den. Reynolds and Peckiupaugh IN RAPID
succession. q
