Major Louis B. Stoddard of New Haven has abandoned for the present all idea of taking over the New Ha- ven franchise in the Eastern associa- ton. He says he has too many other business affairs just now but it is un- derstood that he may get into the game next year.
 , Jack zelIer and Gene McCann, the franchise committee of the Eastern association, are going to New Haven tomorrow to talk with several pro- moters who are eager to get the New Haven club You can say for me, '' declared Zeller, e.that conditions in New Haven are far better than some people believe There will be "a team in the Elm City this season"
 Manager Phillips of the Indianap- olis Federals says he values Benny Kaum at $7,00o. All he cost the out laws was $40 carfare. The former Bridgeport outde1der was in Hartford last winter when he decided he'd like jobsFwith the outlaws. He wrote asking for trial and was later sent transportation. That's one instance where a star player had to go hunt ing for a position instead of having an army of scouts trailing him.
 Kid Rehg, who graduated from Hartford to the big leagues several years ago, may have to leave the Bos- ton Red Sox There are so many like 1y recruit outfe1ders with the Sox that Rehgs chances look poor

ing himself the big TT. in this trans action, said Huggins. t'f5e is at tempting to dictate to me. but where negotiated at the start with Herzog, I am through with him forever. I have been fooled in Herzog. believed he was a square fellow, but from now on the Cardinals only will carry on bus mess with President Hermann.
 ssI'll have to agree upon the deal if Wingo is to play with Cincinnati. am looking out for the interests of the Cardinals and my owners, not for Her zog and the Cincinnati ball club.
 stWingo was mot signed with the clear understanding that he was to be traded to the Reds

DISCIPL lNE
 MARQUARD FOR POOR SHOWING

Marlin, Tex, March 2S.-Prepara- tions for the departure of the Colts on their exhibition trip and completion of the deal whereby six players go from the Giants to the St. Paul club took up much of Manager McGraw' $ time yesterday.
 The six players who have been cap tured by Mike Kelly of the St., Paul team are Marshall Johnson Glass, Gipe Holloway and Dyer. For good measure the services of Foster Kin sella son of Sinister Dick were thrown in. Glass, Marshall and Hol- loway went away with Kelly Sunday night.
 It is understood that all but John son and Kinsella are being sent to St. Paul Under optional agreement John son was sold outright and Kinsella, not being under contract. can make his own terms. Johnson baked, on the salary offered by Kelly, but agreed to stand for the transfer after he talked with McGraw this morning. It is. probable that he is done as a Major Leaguer, as he has grown too heavy and slow to excel the new type of light, fast catchers now in demand by big league pilots
 Rube Marquard's poor showing against the Waco team last Sunday did not register any great hit with McGraw who assigned RuJoe to tour ing duty with the second team. In Sundays game Marquard was hit hard,e and the Waco team scored six runs off his pitching in the first five innings. Stroud shut them out in the last four, and his mates slugged cut victory.
 In assigning Marquard to the sec ond team, McGraw acted as a stern disciplinarian. He says that if Rube is not ready to pitch the best thing for him to do is to get in a lot of games, and that can best be accom- plfshed by travelling with the Colts Marquard is also needed as a draw ing card, as Jim Thorpe is to go with the regulars this time, according to present indications.

San Antonio. Tex. March .2S-Ivy wingo will not be sold to Cincinnati for s25.ooo or 255 cents. Herzog am nounced recently that the Cards would not get Rube Benton and Gonzales; that Wingo now was the property of the Reds and that Ivy would play with Cincy or no other club. If this is Hel- zog's final answer then Wingo will never play in Cincinnati.
 !. Manager Huggins yesterday an- swered Herzog's message which at tackled the methods employed by Pres ident Schuyler Britton in the deal that recovered Wingo from the Federal league. Huggins's remarks were brief. He declared that Herzog was double crossing',i the Cardinals.

SAYS FRANK BAKER HAS ENOUGH COIN
 TO our BASEBALL

Frank Baker will never play ball with Connie. Mack unless he is assur- ed of 8 big fat salary Baker doesn't have to worry. He has enough money tucked away to keep him on easy street the rest of his life,'' ac- cording to Jimmy Stevens, one of the young Washington pitchers.
 Stevens lives within three miles of Frappe, Md, Bakers home, and Stevens and Baker have been to- gether all winter.
 According to Stevens Baker owns two big farms in Trappe and a jew elry store in Cambridge, Md, besides some fine paying real estate in Phil adelphia~ Bakers wife has money in her own name. and the family is not in any sense dependent upon Ba- ker's playing ball for a living
 The home-run s1ugger is under three year contract with Connie Mack. The contract expires in 1916, and the figures are about $4,500 a year Baker believes he is worth more money than Mack is paying him in view of the way salaries have jumped since the Feds invaded the field He will not join the outlaws neither will he play with Connie Mack un- less the tall pilot comes across with a big raise. Baker, being pIentifulIy supplied with this worlds goods, can sit back and pursue the watchful waiting policy.
 On the other hand Baker loves the national game and if Mack sold him to New York or some other American League club with the understanding that a. big salary would be paid the home-run S1ugger would probably pack his grip and start work
