SPRINGFIELD ID GET MATERIAL
 FROM TORONTO

Babe Ganzel, an outfelder, and Dunn, an infelder, have been turned over to Jack Flynn, the Springfield manager, by Hugh Duffy, former Portland pilot, and now manager of the Toronto Internationals Both have been let out to the Hampdens with a string attached. Ganzel is the son of George Ganzel, erstwhile man. ager of the Rochester Hust1ers Last season he pastimed in the New Eng land League, and there established q himself as a, consistent and long dis tance hitter, going over the 300 mark.
 When DonnelIy's circuit went to the rocks, GanzeI joined the Boston Red Sox- He managed to get into a few games before the American League season wound up. He is g. big fellow, which accounts for his ability to pole them out far. Ganze1 prob ably will be planted in left field. Both players are in training at Columbus Ga, and will report to Manager Flynn next week.

'EASTERNLEACUE
 SCHEDULE OUT MONDAY MIGHT

President Dan O'Neil of the East ern League has called a meeting of the league for Monday afternoon, to be held at the Cooley Hotel, Spring field. It is likely that a number of important matters will be disposed of that will tend to clear the decks for the opening of the season Wednesday, April 28.
 With the schedule now completed the next step will be to ratify it and this will be done at the session Mon day night. The schedule will be gone over, suggestions will be offered by the various owners, and if any inn provement can be worked out, the same will be done.\
 There is also a possibility that President O'NeiI will name his staff of umpires. It is said that he has about declared the makeup of his staff and this may be forthcoming Monday.

Pittsfield Seeking
 Trade With Locals Manager Birmingham and Leader McCorry of Albany Coming Here to Talk-Earl Champion Still Belongs
 to Pittsfeld, But May Be Traded

] PatsfeId, April 10 Manager Jo- eeph Birmingham of the Pittsfeid baseball team and "Bilr' McCorry, representing the Albany team, started syes4epday on a trip to Boston and Eother places in search of players. Mo Cozry has bought Learys the Water bury centrefe4der, and Johnson, who pitched for Hartford for a time Manager Birmingham expects to return from the trip with the news i that he has signed a catcher of real ability. Champion, the 1eft-handed ftwfrier to whom the Boston Amerf- ;cans offered a contract, is still the Epreperty of the Pfttsfeld club and is willing to play with a Connecticut team, Birmingham states.
 The Pfttsffeld pilot is ready to trade Cham pion for 8 first class catcher and ! thinks he can buckle up a deal as he ! will go to Hartford, New. Haven and 1 Bridgeport before returning home. Joe also wants to land two pitchers and is hopeful some of his major league friends will turn over some ] boxmen to him when they get ready to do the pruning act upon returning from the Southern training camps.
 There is no truth to the rumor ! FrAnK BIaZlls the IOEIE4<3F I1SSTAIOlo {thira baseEnan and now 8 member of .tke Philadelphia Athletics may come
 to Pittsfield. Brazil, a pitcher from Scranton, Pa. signed with the Hil1ies some time ago and that is what caus- ed the confusion
 The directors of the Pittsfeld club
 are dispEeased with the switch in the league schedule which it is said will call for New Haven opening at Albany instead of Pittsfe1d opening at AL tbany. It is figured that Pittsield is the natural rival of Albany and was
 instrumental in getting that city in'
 terested in league ball.
 F'urtl1ermore some fans think Man
 ager Weiss of the New Havens, whd needs no guardian in studying base ball finance, has figured that 8 big lcrowd will be on hand for the openins day at Albany, a new city in the cir cuit and he wants to be there for the split
 President Vance of the PittsfeIl club will probably have a word to say about some features of the schedule
 when he attends the directors meet ing in Springfield Monday.

YALE NINE TO
 OPEN SEASON IN ELM CITY TODAY

New Haven, April 10.---The Yale university baseball team opened it's home season this afternoon at the field, meeting the Wesleyan team at o'clock. The team returned Thurs day night from their southern trip, and although the showing they made while in the south wasn't very good, Coach Lauder has hopes of putting the team in winning shape as soon as mora favorable weather sets in. The whole squad was handicapped by lack of prartice and as soon as warmer weather comes along the team will also come along.
 The game this afternoon should de- ve4op into a fast one as the local uni veTsity will present their first string lineup Wesleyan has 12 letter men on their squad this season and are considered exceptionally strong The Y ale pitchers were given a workout fin the cage yesterday afternoon and all look and feel in the best of condi- ton. Lauder has decided to give three hurlers a, chance to show their wares and has chosen Coxe, Calhoun and Cfftt enden to do mound duty this afternoon. Either Connolly or Green vii ibe on the bill for the up-staters.

Giants and Boston
 Club Ride OR Trolley

It is not often that one sees ma jor league ball players in uniform riding on street cars, but any one who was in Mobile recently might have lamped this rare spectacle. It seems there was a dearth of autos for hire by the general public in Mobile, and when Eddie Brannick, travelling secretary of the Giants, and Larry Graver, secretary of the Red Sox, at- tempted to obtain oars to take the players from the hotel at which they dressed to the ball park, they were frustrated. Therefore, the Giants in their gaudy mackinaws and the Sox in their coats of scarlet hue boarded street cars for the journey to and from the park, and were the object of considerable attention from the fans with whom they rode

Mighty few, even to the best of us, are sure of their jobs from day to day. NO one is indispensable tink- les the dulcet tones of the time clock. Just around the corner there is a fellow or-yes a Iassie-who can ''carry on'' in your job if you get out of step with the boss music. When the boys marched away to France most of them were told that thelr jobs would be 'theId for them When they returned they could rest up a bit on their laurels and then get back on their jobs again. Later some of them found the 'thelp want ed'' page as interesting as the sport ing sheet.
 But there is one fellow, the only is always sure of his old job again. He labors during a part of the spring, all summer, and a little of the fall. Then he deliberately yawns, puts on his jerkin, and marches into the boss office and tells him he is going to take a much needed rest-say about half a year.
 ''Be back on the job some time in April. All right with you" he ex- plains.
 The boss frowns, nutters some In1nS aDOut being aWfulfy sorry to lose him, wishes he could stay a little l longer, and before he can add some 1 thing about raising his salary the 1 employee extraordinary has broken 1 ranks

Red SOx Seek to
 Land Outfelder Bower

Chick Bowen, whom John McGraw sent to the Rochester club of the In ternationaI League for seasoning this year, may land a berth with the Red Sox. The Boston club, having parted with Bill Lamar, is in need of some young blood for reserve outfeId ma teriaI and has made an offer for Bowen.
 Chick was captain of the Holy Cross College team last year and is well known in Boston, so it is not likely that he would object strenu- ousfy to joining the Sox. However McGraw thinks highly of him and it is said that he demands a price for him that the Red Sox are unwilling to pay, so that it may be that the proposed deal will fall through.
