BELLOWS FALLS, May l..
President t. p Murphy of Newport,
\. H., has sent to the boards of direct
ors of the teams in the new Twin
State league the reserve list, which
were sent to him by the directors. The
lists show that if the men who are re-
served are finally signed up the league
line-ups viii be about the same III
Newport, Bellows Falls and Keene as
given the privilege of using the Brat
tleboro list
The four managers have been en-
gagged. Newport viii have Walie |
| Volk, captain of the Tufts college nine, |
and a veteran in the Twin State |
league. The men reserved are Wright, !
Carpenter, Walker, O Mara, johnson, |
Regain, Volk, Crowther, Saunders, |
Keaney, Briekley and Johnson. At the |
present time Crowther is playing cen
ter field with the Troy team in the
New York state league, and Brickley is |
with the Lawrence New England
league team. Wright, it is said. has
been offered a job in the big league
and it also is reported that Connie
Mack is after Regain. who pitched last
year under the name of Morgan and
who IS now pitching for Cornell.
Freeman Wesley Crowthers, TO get
it right for once Che usually is called
| t. Webb Crowther in the newspapers.
signed to manage the Bellows Falls
team Thursday afternoon. Crowthers
started with the Twin State in 1912,
when he played shortstop for Brattle
boro. Since then he has played short
stop for Greenfield and finished the
season last year at second for Bellows
Falls. He viii play second base or
Ie.1 "a -, =,
short. Crowthers is well acquainted
with the calibre of the Twin State
league, but was told by the Bellows
Falls directors when he was signed
that the salary limit law would be re-
lspected, so far as Bellows Falls is con
cerned, at least, this year. The Turn
stiles closed last season 5000 in debt,
and the men interested in baseball are
not anxious to spend another winter
paying for a dead horse.
The players reserved by Bellows
falls are CrowelI, Martin and SWORN
stead, pitchers; Carroll, first base;
Ryan, outfielder: Burke, third base;
tDeGroff, center field; English, catcher;
IDonahue, catcher. OF these Crowell
probably will not be signed, as the
Pittsburg Nationals are after him, al
so Cram and Darlington of the Brown
team. Reports are circulated that the
Red Sox and Connie Mack are after
Carroll. who had the promise of de-
veloping into q hitter last season. De
Croft is playing With the Wilkes-Bar-
) ire New York state league team. Dona
hue, it is said. has offers from the
: Braves and Red Sox.
Jack O 'Hara of Springfield viii head
the Claremont team. The players with
| LOT, iac who ba hos
served are Manser and Schneider,
pitchers; Delaney, catcher and fielder;
Hazlett, catcher; Maybohm, fielder
hAndrews. first base; Fishburne, short
stop; Johnston, shortstop; Dixie, pitch,
er and fielder; Devine, infelder. Re
ports to this town have been that Dixie
would not play in this section of tile
country this Summer. Hazlett was
dropped by Brown at Christmas, and. as
his home is in Chicago it is said he
will not care to come East this sum
mer.
+ Delaney has written Bellows Fail,
for a job not knowing he had been re
served by Claremont, and probably
can be signed by 'Hara. He is il
Roxbury, and has been playing witt
semi professional teams this spring.
Dan Sullivan, who piloted Keene in
to second place last year, and who i
part owner, with Abe Berger, of thu
'FMedics, - has sent in something of
reserve list. Tt is not thought her
that the Keene owners will get ava.
with it, They have reserved Il men, a
least two of whom have never playe
with Keene. These are Wallace o
Holy Cross and Whitaker of Tufts
both pitchers. Some of the men wer
with Keene two years ago and wer
not with that club last season. Their
is no doubt but what President Mul
ply will not accept the Keene reserv
list. The reserve list is protectiv
measure designed to prevent director
making overtures TO players with othe
teams at the close of the previous SCI
son. IF these reserve men are ne
signed by June l they become FIRE
agents.
There is nothing, however, in tt
" new Twin State rules to prevent an
Y manager from trying to get Whittak'
or Wallace or any player who was NJ
- with Keene or any other team at Il
close of last season. Following are Il
