This evening McGraw shipped fifteen
OF his budding athletes TO Rock
Mount, N. c. The fifteen are Jesss
winters, Jimmy McQuade, Rem Kelley
Harris Burfeind, Virgil Barnes and
Colonel Snover. pitchers; w. A. White
catcher; Al Horie, Artie White.
Meyer, Harry Bates and George Arm.
strong, infielders, and Lee King. Chick
Bowen and Robert Kinsella. outfieliers
The above players will practice with
the Rochester Club of the International
League until the Giants reach ROCKY
Mount on April Z. BY that time Nc.
Graw will have disposed of MANY Of
his recruits. There are still three
players coming to the Rochester Club
as part paymen: for the George Kelly
deal last season.
Waivers on Bowen have already been
asked and received. Ed Barrow. man.
ager of the Red Sox attempted to pur-
chase Bowen from the Giants. Nc.
Graw was willing to part with the sery.
ices of the Holy Cross yourgster prc.
vided that the Boston club was willing
to pay the waiver price, which is S..
5o0. After communicating .ith Presi-
dent Harry Frazee, Barrow called tho
deal off.
Considered Better Than Statz
At Holy Cross, Bowen wa. consld
cred a better player than Arnold Statz
Since the training season began the
latter has displayed enough baseball
ability to earn the job as the extra
outfielder on the New York team. It
would not be surprising II Stag is
used by McGraw when southpae pitch
ers are facing the Giants. Kauff had
bad year last season against left,
handed fiippers. STATE is a right
handed batter and is not bothered by
southpaw pitching.
Dick Nallin, the American League
upire, reached here this morning and
will umpire on the bases during TO-
morrows game. Bill Klein will oficaie
behind the plate. Bill Brennan, who
was first assigned the JOB as umpire
for the series, will witness the game
l. rom one of the grandstand seats. Al
though Brennan will not be working
ne will get his dough just the same
from each club.
After the game was called Of the
athletes rushed back to the hotel and
lndulged in pocket billiards and balk-
!lnc billiards. Jess Barnes, Ross
oung and George Burns. are quite
adept when it comes to knocking the
worries into the pockets. The trio
cleaned up on the other players at
Kelly pool.
