MIKE BALENT| AND

STILL HOLDING OUT
Repeated Efforts of Moose
Mccormick to Bring
Them to Terms
Futile

Chattanooga, February 5.-(Special)
While half a dozen Lookouts are still
without the fold, but two members of
McCormick's 1914 pennant contenders are
seriously affected with the hold-out mi
crobe. The duo is composed of Chief
Michael Balenti and Charles ((Gabby)
Street. These two athletes are admitted
recalictarnts and have SO persistently re-
fused to come into the fold except at
ager Mccormick is seriously considering
steps which will be necessary to navi-
gate the good ship Lookout without their
services.
In case young Brandt should live up to
the reputation he achieved on the coast
and amass in Father Kavanaugh' circuit
the same formidable collection of aver
ages which he displayed last season in
the Northwestern. the hole which will be
left at the shortfeld by the absence of
Balenti is already plugged. Mccormick,
however, is making due allowance for
depreciating in Brandt's value when
transplanted to Glass A soil and, although
he Is reasonably certain the recruit is a
siar in the rough, is already dickering
COR an option upon a major Lacquer of
tried and tested abilities.
Mccormick will asseble his squad,
battery men and all, at Andrews field
on March /, and by that time he expects
all members to be within the fold with
the possible exception, of course, of
Street and Balenti. Even should Street
sign it is not considered by any means
certain that he will remain a Lookout
1t is rumored that Billy Smith desires
Gabby's services.

QUAKER PLAYERS LEAD BOTH
LEAGUES IN TIMELY HITTING
by ERNEST J. LANIGAN

Philadelphia was the abiding place last
season of the two men who led the
major leagues in timely hitting Frank
Baker of the Athletics having lead the
Americans in this respect just as Gavvy
Cravath did the Nationals. j. Franklin
hammered home 1873 marks in 1913. which
was four more than were driven over
the plate by the fence breaker from Cal
ifornia, who ran Jake Daubert, winner
of the Chalmers car offered to the Ma
tionars most valuable player. such a close
race for the batting laurels.
Baker, like Cravath, was the lone man
in the century class in his league in
driving in tallies. Derrill Pratt of the
Browns was the runner-up, just falling
short In his attempt to get in the three
figure division. The st. Louis infieder
added the finishing touches to 9S runs.
Third among the timely wallopers stood
McInnis of the White Elephants, with
SO to his credit fourth was Jack Barry,
also a Mackman. with 92 fifth was Sam
Crawford of Detroit with 80; sixth was
Duffy Lewis of Boston with Sc; seventh
was Joe Jackson of Cleveland with 81;
elSlli4 Was lliS DptthtI VI DOSIon WIFI
81; ninth was Eddie Collins of Philadel-
phia, with 75 and tenth was Napoleon
Lajoie of Cleveland with IA In 1912 the
10 first opportune hitsmiths were Baker
of Philadelphia, with 13S; Lewis of Bos-
ton with III; Crawford of Detroit with
los; McInnis of Philadelphia with 103;
Speaker of Boston with 9S; Lajoie of
Cleveland with 96; jackson of Cleveland
o. G1l,l, - ,x,ttl 20,
dill of Washington with S5 and Gardner
of Boston with So.
There We're only two changes among
the team leaders in timely hitting. Baker
again exceled for the White Elephants,
Gandil for the Senators, Lewis for the
Red Sox, Bodie for the White Sox, Pratt
for the Browns and Crawford for the
Tigers Cree supplanting Chase as the
Yankees best willow wielder in the
pinches and Jackson beating out Lajoie
for the honor among the Maps. The
eight team leaders of 1913 batted in $40
| runs, which was 16 more than were driven
home by the Athletics, who had the
most powerful attack of any American
| league club.

SWAC|NA JUMPS THE:
NEWARK CLUB FOR
BALTIMORE FEDS
Former Gull Has Signed a
Three-Year Contract With
Knabe-Considering De-
serting for Sometime
Bx Asa RouNTREE. JR.

Harry Swaoina, the former Gull who
has been covering the initial sack during
the past several seasons for the Newark
club in the International league, has been
led astray from the pale of organized
ball. In other words the big Newark
player has signed with the Federals.
For sometime he has been seriously
considering the offer made him by Man
ager Otto Knabe of the Baltimore Feds
and yesterday he announced that he had
signed with them.
The contract is for three years, and
is said to call>for a salary of $4,000.
Swacina, who has been spending the
winter in Birmingham, stated several
weeks ago that he had received an offer
from the Federals, but at this time little
heed was paid TO it. as some considered
it an effort ON the part of the new
leaguers to get before the southern public
However, Swacina has been giving seri-
Gus consideration to it and has now de-
cided to cast his fortunes with the new
venture.
The signing of Newark first sacker was
a master stroke on the part of Manager
Knabe, as Swacina is considered one of
the best players today in the minors. Last
year with Newark he proved to be one
of the top notchers in the International,
and his going to the Baltimore Federals
will boost the stock of that team con-
siderable.
During the 1918 campaign Swacina WELD
ed the willow for an average of 1885, rank
ing fifth among the sluggers in his cir
cult.
Although Swacina has not stated his
motive for forsaking the Newark club
it is likely that lucrative contract offered
him by Knabe is mainly responsible. This
stipend offered him by the Federals is
no doubt far in excess to that he has
been drawing in the International and
| none can blame him for grabbing the coin
while the grabbing is good.

From the Angle Of the Bug
ny Asa RozrNTREE, JR.

THE long schedule OF l54 games for
i season is assured. With
practically the entire directorate
of the league in favor of
the longer one. President Kavanaugh
of the Southern has addressed a letter
to the various CLUB presidents inform
ing them that 154 games will be played
next season The league executive
states that he has already received
enough expressions from league
moguls to insure the adoption of the
long schedule at the spring meeting
of the league, which will be held in
Mobile near the end OF the month.
Seeing that 1t was the consensus of
opinion among Southern league club
owners that the schedule embracing
ia games was the one most desirable
even President Andrews of the Look
outs, who at first was an ardent cham
plon of the short schedule, has crossed
over and lined up with the others
However, President Andrews has Of
fered the suggestion that the entire
1874 games be played in the time that
would take the one of 40 TO be run
through. But the letter of Judge
Kavanaugh means that this plan of
the Lookout boss will not be adhered
to and that the league will have
little over two weeks longer to ruv
than 1t has heretofore. This decision
han ~ n
reception from both the fans and play
ers alike. 1t means that the bugs will
see more baseball than In previous
seasons, and that the pay envelopes of
the players will be further swelled as
they will draw an added stipend dur
ing the extra two weeks.
Unable to secure the whole hearted
support of major league players, the
Federal organization has now turned
its attention to the faster minors of
the country and. according to an
nouncements, will begin systematic
campaign for securing star players In
various class AA and A circuits.
As starter they have secured
Pitcher Joe Finneran of the Bir-
mingham team, Catcher Chapman
and Pitcher Elliot Dent of Atlanta,
Infelder Beck from Buffalo in the
International league; First Base
man Meyers, also from the Inter
national league, and First Base
man Swacina of the Newark club
in the same circuit. The contingent
hot ha Loo a1r
recruited from the minors appears
formidable and should the FEEDER

One reason for his poor fielding is that
he took a chance at nearly everything
coming his way. He was the busiest third
sacker in the circuit, accepting S5l
chances.
With the acquisition of Clark, Moley
now has on the Baron roster two of the
leading run-getters in the minors during
the 1918 campaign. The other leader is
Outfielder Magee, who led the New Eng
land organization with an even 100 eoun-

he had previously accepted the clubs
terms, today was restored to good stand
ing in organized baseball by the national
commission. The player stated that he
did not sign the contract last August be-
cause of fear that the Boston club might
