machinery with little more patriot
ism after watching the Senators per-
form a few times. Baseball, clean
end interrupted, might indeed fur
nish many lessons as we'll as recrea-
ton for those worthless.
Ebbets, Sr's., New Plan.
President Charles H. Ebbets, sr.,
has exploded brand new idea, which
sank deep, while he was here. He
suggests the National commission
take up the matter of controlling a
date set for all teams of major and
class A leagues going south. Ebbets
says that If a team reports in poor
shape, the owners are invariably
blamed. This is very true. On the
other hand, If the proper training trip
is not arranged the management is
called penurious, acrimonious and a
few other harsh sounding adjectives.
Underlying the whole idea is the fact
which has already been told, that the
players fraternity intends to ask for
pay if the teams are taken south
tically been agreed upon, it is said.
The Tigers case has a whole lot to
do with Mr.. Ebbets's views. 1t is said
that the Newark club will expend
fully $4,000 for expenses on the pres
ent training trip, and IL the Tigers do
not get away to a good start it is
money ill spent. 1t was expected that
.. part Of this money would be re-
gained on the homeward exhibition
tour, but the way matters" are pan
ming out now makes it look as though
the club will be a heavy loser. The
Tigers trip to Savannah last season
cost about $4,000, and was huge sue
cess.
Only One Game in Washington.
No game was played yesterday be-
: cause of the rain. Consequently the
gers will meet the Washington reg
1ars only once. Saturdays contest
viii be staged with the Senator's sec
~, [ outfit, in charge of Germany
Schaeffer and it promises to be a
comedy. The Washington team will
leave Immediately after today's bat
tie for Cincinnati, where contests are
scheduled with the Cincinnati Reds.
The Senator's infield is more or less
shot to pieces. Eddie Foster, the
valient third sacker of international
League fame, is wounded as the re-
suit of a collision with a Busher's
spikes. Mcbride is also in dry dock
for repairs and Grif will have to trot
out a Yannigan infeld against the
Newarkers.
schlahy Still on the Ground.
Larry Schlafiy is still hanging
around the White House and the Eb-
bitt House, where the Tigers are
chartered. Larry says that little will
be done by the Feds before the KILL
fer case is decided. Schlafly says that
If the Killifer contract is not valid
none is. and that the war will be
worse than ever.
Last night there was a lively fan
ming bee in the lobby of the Tiger
hotel. and many interesting views
vvere advanced. A majority of New
ark players believe thal Hus 1etA
would make a cracl1erjack shortstop,
and that he would have proved just
the man Brooklyn was looking for,
had Bill DahIen held him last year.
The Tigers think that Getz would look
even better on the left of the dia-
mond than on the right, which is say
ing much, as Gus shapes up as nifty
second-sacker. One Bengal player de-
cIared that with one months practise
cetz could field with any shortstop in
the business, and that right now he
could take Dick Egan's job away from
him. The Tigers do not want TO lose
Getz. but this is a friendly tip from
the Newark players to Wilbert Rob-
inson, when he gets ready to rebuild
his team next spring.
