'sVets" Will Be Missing
In Big Show This Year

Many veteran players will be miss
ed when the major league pennant
races get under Roadway this month.
The National League has dispensed
with the services of Hans Wagner,
Harry Wolter, Tom Seaton, Tommy
Long, Chief Meyers, Alex Mccarthy,
Frank Schultz, Jimmy Lavender,
Mike Mowry, Hans Lobert, Bill
Hinchman, Frank Allen, Bob Bescher,
Fred Toney, Jack Murray and Wheel
er Dell The American Leaguers who
have passed out, because they have
seen their best days, are Sam Craw-
ford, Tub Spencer, Grover Hartley.
Harry Coveleskie, Paddy Baumann,
Lee Magee, George Mcbride, John
Henry, Rube Schauer. Walter Alexan-
der, Jim Scott, Ivan Howard and Olaf
Henriksen.
Voluntary retirements from base
ball are unusually numerous this
year. In this connection no reference
is made to those players who gave
I'D baseball for war work or to pro-
nounced holdouts, but simply to those
who have announced that they are
through with the game.
Frank Allen and Eddie Fitzpatrick
of the Boston Braves have notified
George Stallings that they intend to
devote their time to farm work in
the future Dave Robertson of the
Giants is another to give up the game,
while Plank and Marsans of the Yam
KEGS both are showing signs of stick
ing to their determination to retire.
George Foster and Chef Thomas of
the Boston Red Sox are others who
have announced that they have had
enough of the diamond pastime. and
of course, Hans Wagner is positively
retired this time.
While so many are giving up the
game, Rube Oldring, one of the most
celebrated 'retirers'' of recent years,
is planning to stage a comeback in
the big show.

YANKEES WIN
CAME IN SIXTH

Macon, Ga, April 3-Unlimbering
their heavy artillery in the sixth in
ming yesterday, the Yankees drove
the Braves back to their second line
trenches and triumphed to the tune
of 2 to / in the second game of the
series. The victory was scored at the
expense Of Art Nehf, much to the dis
comfture of Stallings, who came in
from Haddock yesterday morning and
took personal charge Of the team.
AS the Braves often protested de-
cisions, almost all in the grand stand
rooted hard for the Yankees before
four innings had been played. From
their exhibition here yesterday, the
Braves are tuning up for another sea-
son of Billingsgate and umpire bait
ing.
Nehf opened poorly, but soon tight
ened and turned the Yankees back
with the bases full and none out in
the first frame. The Yanks threaten
ed again in the fourth, but their rally
was spiked by Peckinpaugh smashing
into a double play.
New York knocked on the scoring
door in vain again in the fifth. Their
efforts finally were rewarded with
success in the sixth. With one down
in the sixth. Pipp launched the
Yankees off with a screaming single
| to centre. Baker followed with a
fierce smash that bounded past Mas
sey in left for two bases and pushed
| Pipp across the pan. Bodie pre-
viously shot one over the left field
fence, which was foul by a few feet
and dumped another one over the
right field fence a yard and a half in
| foul territory, and then drew a base
| on balls.
Peckinpaugh hit to Smith, whose
| throw to Conway failed to get BOdie
| at second and the bases were full.
Walters lifted a sacrifice fly to Kelly,
scoring Baker, and when the Braves
| started to toss the ball around Bodie
attempted to score from third, but
expired, Wilson to Rawlings to Will
son.
Slim Love limited the Braves to two
hits in the five innings he labored.
Monroe had great difficulty locating
the plate when he took Up the pitch
ers burden in the sixth. He shaved
through that inning without damage
but was found for a run in the sew
enth.
Thormahlen turned the Braves
back in the last two cantos. He wa:
saved in the eighth by great throw
to the plate by Miller and helped out
in the ninth on a lightning double
play, Pratt, Peckinpaugh and Pipp.
Rawlings, first up in the seventh
singled through the box. Conway shot
hot one between Peckinpaugh and
Baker into left, putting Johnny or
third The pair advanced on Wilson's

SHANNON JOINS
HOLDOUTLEAGUE

New Haven, April 3.-Present indi-
cations are that Joe Shannon's base
pall activities during the coming sea-
son will be confined to the semi-pro-
Residual brand. Yesterday Shannon
notified Manager Murphy of the Muir
Inns that he would stand pat in his
refusal to sign at the figures called
for in his contract and that he would
go back to semi-professional baseball
unless he receives a slight increase
While Murphy is not inclined to take
Shannon's threat seriously, it is doubt
full whether anything further will be
done in an effort to bring the delin-
quent player back into the fold. AS
the situation now stands, Shannon
must either accept the clubs terms or
consider himself a candidate for the
suspended list.
Shannon is the only player on the
| veteran reserve list who is kicking
: over the traces Three other players
remain unsigned, namely, Cort. Ball,
Flaherty and Donovan, but none, of
them have offered any complaints
over salaries. Ball and Flaherty are
expected to return their contracts
within a reasonable time while the
case of Donovan depends entirely
upon his desire to return to baseball.
He has been placed in Glass A in the
draft and now holds a good position
with. a railroad company in his home
town, Lawrence, Mass
Shannon, in his letter to the local
management, states that he is now in
the employ of the government, hold
ing down a position with the Engineer
corps. re makes it plain that he will
stick to his position and play semi
professional baseball on Saturdays
and Sundays unless his demands are
met.

"Buck" Herzog to Draw
Dowl~),OOO Salary

Charles Lincoln Herzog, who will
act as captain of the Boston Braves,
will draw more money than Manager
StaIlings this year. Herzog will re-
ceive $4,000 for his services. while
Stallings salary is $12,500. The own
ers Of the Braves, therefore, must pay
$25,500 to their manager and cap
tain in addition to handing out lib
era1 salaries to at least 20 players.
Averaging $4,000 per man, the Boston
club must carry a payroll of at least
$S5,000. If the Braves do not assume
a commanding position in the Ma
tional League race what will be the
outcome?

six of the nine games rolled. John

outclassed. Johnson got away to a
flying start by winning the first two
games, only to see Porto come strong
and win the next five. Johnson cap

closed his days work by winning the
ninth.
Both bowlers rolled in phenomenal
