M'GLYNN WANTS
TO BE AN UMP
Former Harrisburger Says He
Has Had Long Ex-
perience

Stoney McGlynn. the once fam
Gus twirler in, the Tri-State League,
who lived and played in this city,
and later was with the York team
desires to be an ump. lie passed
out of the major league game and
since has been residing in the West.
A dispatch from Chicago says:
Has Had Experience
w. f. Finneran, of Erie, Pa, who
umpired in the International League
last season, and was in the Tri-
State for several seasons, has been
signed by President Hickey. of the
American Association, for the 1918
season
Umpires to right of him, umpires
to left of him, umpires in front OF
him. That's President Hickey. The
suspension of the international
League and the uncertainty shroud-
ing the future of the Central, West
ern and Three-1 Leagues. among
others, has resulted in an avalanche
of applications from arbiters who
want to work in the a. y.
Fans will be interested in an ap-
plication made public by President
Hickey. 1t begins thus:
Having heard that you needed
umpires for the league, thought /
would write you in regard to the
matter. l have had S3 years eX-
perience as a ballplayer, and have
also umpired several games which
proved satisfactory"
The signature was that of Stoney
McGlynn, the veteran pitcher.
Hickey answered McGlynn's let
ter, saying that the staff of the as
sociation already was filled, and that
there was a waiting list of expert
enced umpires. If Stoney D. can get
berth in some league and show
that he has the ability, President
Hickey would be glad to give him
a trial later on.

Latest. Deal Sends
McInnes to Boston;
New Athletic Stars

Philadelphia, March 1.-Return-
ing. from New York last evening.
Manager Connie Mack, of the Ath-
letics. announced that in return for
Stuffy McInnes he will receive from
the Boston Red SoX the services of
Catcher Forrest Cady, Third Base
man Larry Gardner and Outfelder
Clorence C'Tilly" "Red") Walker.
The final details were transacted at
conference between Mack and
President Frazee, of the Cubs, on
Manhattan Island yesterday.
None of the three players has as
yet been signed by the local Amer
lean League Club. Cady was quoted
as having said last week that he
would not play with the AS. Det
Gamer, first baseman, now in the
service, was on the list of players
originally offered by the Red Sox
chief, but Mack selected Cady in
stead.
Cady's Record
This big fellow first broke into the
public eye in the 1912 worlds series,
in which he caught most of the
games for the victorious SoX. That
was his first year in the American
League. He is. just so years old. and
a native of Illinois. He stands an
inch and a half above six feet. From
1908 to 1910, inclusive. he played
ball in the Central Association, with
Evansville. In 1911 he was with
the Newark team, of the Eastern
League. With him and Thomas to
wear masks the receiving end of the
Mack machine is well taken care of.
William Lawrence Gardner is even
more of a veteran, and is out of the
draft, so can be counted on for active
service throughout the season. Larry
will be 80 on May 13. He played
college ball with the University of
Vermont from 1905 to 1907 inclu-
sive, then was signed by the Red
SoX, who farmed him out to the
Lynn team of the Northwestern
League for n season. He PLAYED
shortstop there. In 1909 he was
utility infielder for the Six, figur-
ing in nineteen games. In 1910 he
played 1l3 games at second base.
In 1914 he alternated between sec
ond and third base, and in 1912 he
became the regular SoX third base
