N BEGINS TERM.

Fred Toney, the New York Giant
pitcher, who was recently acquitted at
Nashville on a charge Of attempting to
evade the selective draft and making
false claims in his questionable, and
who was sentenced to serve four
months in jail on q white slavery
charge. will begin serving his term at
once in order that he may join the
Giants as early as possible.
Toney will be incarcerated in the
Robertson county Jail. 1t is hardly
probable that he will be of any
use to the Giants this year, for four
months service in jail will make con
siderable inroads on the husky form of
Toney, and it will take some time for
him to overcome the effects of four
months incarceration.
Toney will take as much exercise as
possible in an effort TO keep in good
shape, so that he can report to John
McGraw at the end of his term ready
to go into the box.
Just how fans will take TO Toney at
ter he has served a term in Jail is IN
known. but in hostile cities, 1t Is quite
probable that he will be greeted with
all kinds OF epithets reminding him that
he has served a term in Jail. That Is
the way of hostile fandom everywhere.
Toney will probably be able to join
the Giants in May.

comes to bat with an explanation that
makes no great hit. He SAYS he re-
leased Moran, along with the ball play
ers, last August in order to avoid com
pllcatlons-a policy which was followed
ny nearly all the major clubs. He leads
one to believe hat the release of Moran
was not to be taken seriously al that

gagged Pat if the latter had not COM

1nunicate with the club until just be-
fore the December meeting of the Ma
tional league.
That sounds well enough on the face.
but Mr.. Baker is credited with com
hitting the fault of explaining too
much. After giving wounded dignity
as his reason for the big canning act,
he goes on TO say that Moran's habit
Of leaving Philadelphia over night, when
the team was at home, caused the
players to stray out Of hand, and was
detrimental to discipline. In other
words he offers what might be called
a concrete reason for releasing Moran
after having first advanced the more or
less ethical reason. Either ground
might have justified Mr.. Bakers ac-
ton, but when he supplements the ie-
noring of the club with the practical
matter of falling to maintain discipline
somewhat of an inconsistency IL pre-
scented that takes the edge off his de-
tense.
