GIANTS ORDERED
TO START FEB. 28
FOR MARLIN CAMP

New York, Feb. 2-Marching or
ders were sent yesterday to the vari--
GUS Giant attachments by Secretary
j ohm B. Foster, whose plans have
been somewhat altered by recent
rulings which prevent any ball army
from attacking a training camp prior
to March 1.
All the rockies and camp follow
ers have received orders to be in
Marlin by Feb. %, and to go by the
quickest way from their homes. Reg
uIar players, who are unable to make
connections with the New z orks to
Marlin special have also been in
structed to be in Marlin by Monday,
March 1.
The New York detachment will
leave here on Feb. 25. and McGraw
probably will be in command of the
army of invasion, provided he does
not find golf so enticing as to keep
him in Cuba until late in the month.
Secretary Foster yesterday re-
viewed the signed contract of Emilio
Pafmero, the young Cuban 1efthand-
er, who was with the Giants at odd
moments last season. Palmero has
been pitching great ball in Cuba, and
may now be ripe for the big show.
McGraw intends to give the young
ster a thorough trial next spring.

dozen recruits WHO have been rec
commended to Wild Bill by various

for second base, but if a heavier hit

planted.
Donovan viii probably keep Ara

playing fine ball in Havana, this win
ter. but Truesdale and Brubaker, the
latter drafted from Bay City, will
probably be released.
Six outfielders are to be tried out

BUSINESS MANAGER
OF YANKEES WAS
ENTHUSIASTIC FAN

Harry Sparrow, the new business
manager of the Yankees, assumed
active control of the club yesterday.
Sparrow has been indirectly connect
yet we venture to say that very few
of the fans even know him by sight.
Sparrow came into baseball through
sheer love of the pastime. His talk
ing hold Of the business end of the
club, and Huston and Rupert pur-
chasing it, gives New York a ball
team owned and run by three men
from the ranks of the fans.
Harry's first interest in the game
developed seventeen years ago, when
he formed q strong friendship for
John J. McGraw. He was an adver-
Using man at the time, but Through
association with the Baltimorean, be-
came rabid diamond devotee.
When McGraW came to New York
and made his reputation with the
Giants, Sparrow became q fixture at
the Polo Grounds. His enthusiasm
even carried him so far that he soon
began making the road trips with the
team.
The old bromide. eff business In
terferes with pleasure, give up. bust
ness that antedates even Joe Mil
Ier's wheezes, finds a living example
in Harry Sparrow Baseball was his
pleasure, advertising his business,
y
quite pushed business right out of his
young life.
| He soon became personal represent
tative for McGraw. Hefand the little
Nap were 1nseparab1e. ct so far as
/ the public was concerned Harry
Sparrow continued to be merely ro-
tund gentleman who persistentIy in
habited the press stand at the Polo
Grounds, and now and then had his
name in the PAPER, tackled on to some
merry quip of We sporting testers.
Last year when McGraw and Co
naiskey decided to tour the universe,
Harry started to go along as one of
the party. The trip had no sooner
gained headway, however, than the
business end OF it fell on his shout
ders.
Ted Sullivan, of course, was origin
ally supposed to manage the journey.
Why Ted did not manage it is an
other story. All we will say is that
we suspect. that Ted spelled manage
on Sparrow fell the burden of the
fight
Harry made more money between
/ here and the coast for the. tourists
1 than baseball party ever made be-
fore or since. Not only that, but, he
made 8. paying proposition of the en-
tire tour, and after paying the party's
expenses, had substantial balance on
the profit. side of the ledger.
F. Sparrow,s wonder work on the jour
/ ney convinced McGraw that he was
| capable of taking care of any bust
tness proposition, no matter how large
/ or how involved. When Huston and
/ Rupert came to buy the Yankee club
/ McGraw recommended Sparrow fol

/ pointnaent was assured from the Tins

Reulbach Fired AS
Slap to Players
Fraternity, Rumor Says

=
The uneeu 9iona1 release Of Pitch
er Edward ReuIbachs by the Brook
lyn club, Is regarded as a direct slap
at the Players Fraternity. It is be-
Ieved to indicate the attitude club
owners are beginning to take toward
those members of the fraternity who
show undue activity in the ranks of
the ball clubs.
Several players expressed the .opin-
lon that Reulbach had not been rer
leased because it was thought that
his days as a big league pitcher were
Ebbets had obtained waivers on Reul-
bach through q gent1eman's agree
ment, In order that he might be re-
buked for the missionary work he
attempted to do among the Dodgers
/ last season
ReuIbach is secretary OF the Play
sera' Fraternity and has been one of
the chief aids of President Dave
Fultz Brooklyn fans, as wen as the
management Of the club believe that
players last season that was not for
the best interests OF the club, and
which is, by some, accounted as the
cause for the cliques that sprang up
in the club.
Reulbach has been in bad favor
with the management Of the Dodgers
ednce before the season opened last
year, and his actions throughout the
season, accompanied by the fact that
he did not show Manager Robinson
anything much in the pitching line,
did not tend to improve matters for
him
He never made any attempt to leap

j a wedge to pry off q. raise, int one

The game between, the "Jinxs' and
st. Mary's was as lively as could be
from st. Charles rooter standpoint.
The boys from 'sJinxvilles' played rings
around the St. Mary's in the second
half. At the end Of the first half the
score was i16 ITO IL In favor OF st.
Charles When the second half
started the "Jinx'' shot a. basket al
most before the referees whistle had
finished footing.
L They then swarmed all over the
floor and no matter where you look
ed you would find Chrtsty or Hork-
hefner bobbing up and down. The
latter two players were the stars OF
the evening. Christy caging nine
baskets while Horky went him a
close second by tossing seven This
is the largest score as yet made by
st. Charles and if they can pity the
same ball on Friday as they did in
the second half last night they will
stand g. chance of being tied for
first place. The score:

Jack sEgan of this city who
caught good ball for New Britain
last season, is among the players
turned over to the Eastern associae
ton by Owner ScinsI<i in payment OF
the debt the New Britain magnates
owes the league. Egan and Outfield-
err Jones are the two most valuable
players in the lot. Eastern associa-
ton clubs will be given first chance
to bid for these men and IF they are.
not wanted in this section the players
will be sold to other leagues.
There were several good players on
the New Britain roster last season.
Catcher Toland was promising
youngster and also Pitcher L4ub
Smith. Hancock is also a reliable
third base, is slowing up and Pete
Wilson is believed to be through as
a twir1er. Seins4xi only owes the
league $375 and it is believed the
amount can easily be realized by the
sale of players.
