good work, each getting a hit and
Shanks making wonderful throw to
the plate in the ninth which prevented
a run from scoring on a hit on which
he had to cover some ground to pick
up. 1t is understood that the present
combination in the outfield will be kept
intact at least through the rest of the
exhibition games to be played with the
Phillies here. today, Saturday and
Monday.
Rondeau will in due time be back
in the lineup. and if Barber regains
his batting stride he, too. will get
plenty chances to play. There is not
the slightest danger of either of the
two outfielders who are now sitting on
the bench being let out They will
prove their value in due time.
It is not at all unlikely that George
Dumont will pitch the entire game
against the Phillies today. The Fargo
speed merchant is in good form and is
anxious to get on edge by going the
entire distance. Charity undoubtedly
will be his battery partner.
Pat Moran expects to use Demaree
and Mayer against the locals today, and
he also promises to have Chief Bender

Wee Willie Keller, who has been out
of the game for several years. is to try
his hand at the managerial end of the
sport this season. He is to manage the
Allentown, Pa. club, and there IS no
reason why the former batting artist
should not be able to handle team
well, for he knows the game as we'll as
any one identified with it and has other
qualities which fit him for managerial
berth.
Billy Sullivan is advocating one OF
Clark Griffith's schemes, that of keep

There is no doubt that more strength mas

The series which the Giants and Yam
KEGS are scheduled to start today ought
to be of great interest to the New York
fans, if the games are favored by good
weather. Donovans team seems to have
a lot on McGraw's rejuvenated outfit. 1t
is not believed that the Giants are in
the same class with the Yanks, and If
this is esta blished it will mean much to
the American League. for then the Yam

MINES LEADER oNE-ARMED.
Hooper of Texas University Made
No Errors Last Season.

Texas University has among its en-
rolled students most unusual base
ball player in Dick Hooper. who. de-
spite the fact that he has only one
arm, has been elected captain of the
Texas University team. Hooper is an
outfielder and wears a glove on his
surviving hand, which is the right one.
There is only a stump on the left side
of his body
When playing his position on the dia-
mond Hooper catches the ball and
then losses it short distance into the
air above his head. This gives him a
chance to withdraw his right hand
from the glove. which he places under
what is left of his left arm. When the
ball descends he clutches it and throws
it to any part of the diamond where
there is u chance for a put-out. Hoop
er goes through with this whole opera
ton with wonderful speed.
Last season HOOPER threw out ten
runners at the plate. and out Of 105
chances in the field did not make an
error. He uses short. thick bat. and
hit safely in sixteen consecutive games
last season. He intends to enter Dart
mouth next year

Chase, however, probably has sew
eral years of good base ball left in him,
but he is a dangerous character on a
ball club. because he cannot be relied
upon always to give his team his best
services. Chase may have improved in
this respect. as he probably realizes
how near he was to being dropped into
the minor leagues for the remainder of
his career, and he may get down to
business and play honest ball for the
Cincinnati aggregation.
According to Capt. Huston of the
New York Yankees. there is absolutely
no truth in the report that the New
York Yankees are anxious to obtain
the services of Iris Speaker from the
Boston club either by trading Maisel
to the Red Sox or for cash.
I've talked that over during the
league meeting last winter, but the
matter was dropped at that time, and
heard a word from the Boston club
about it, said Huston to The Stars
correspondent in New York this morn
ing.
fled with his outfeld, consisting of Gil
hooley, Maisel and Magee, and this
speedy trio is expected to prove of
value to the team in more ways than
one. lncldentally, the New Ork club,
which already has incurred an enor-
nous salary list does not care to add
any more high-priced material to its
list.
Baumgardner, who for many years
was touted as Walter Johnson's only
real rival, has been released outright
by the St. Louis Browns because he did
not show enough to Fielder Jones as a
pitcher.
The purchase Of Clarence Walker
from the St. Louis Browns by the Red
Sox means that Walker is to fill Duffy
Lewis place in left field until the hero
of the last world series RECEIVERS com
pletely from the injury which his
thumb suffered in a recent game. 1t
may be weeks before Lewis can play
again, and Carrigan does not want to
start the season with a crippled or
weakened team. Walker is sure to hit
well enough and can also field and
throw, and is just the man who will fill
in, for he is better all-around ball
player than Henriksen, who can do
nothing but hit.

Game Is a Tie Until Ninth. When
Fusillade of Hits Is
Uncovered.
BY j. ED GRILLO.

The Braves won the final game of
the series with the Griffmen yesterday
in the ninth inning, when\ they scored
three runs. Up to this time the score
was a tie, Boehling forcing the tying
run in the sixth inning by giving a
base on balls with the bases full. Boeh-
ling was in trouble in every one Of the
four innings he worked in. He was in
the hole continually. but brilliant sup
port saved him on several occasions.
The blow-off came in the ninth. how
ever, when he was nit for five singles
and walked a man, which Melted the
visitors the three runs, by which mar
gin they won the game.
Ten hits were made off of Boehling
in four innings. while the Braves found
Ayers for but single hit and no runs

the inning.
Boehling walked two in the seventh
and made an error himself. but good
work behind him retired the side with
three on the bases. In the eighth he
allowed two hits and again his support
came to his rescue. and this is what
happened in the ninth: Smith opened
with single to left, Snodgrass follow r
ed suit and Tragresser also singled,
filling the bases Tyler was walked,
forcing in Smith with a run. and Ma
