M0ck Rdps E. L. Czub0zUners for Tdking 'Fdrn1ed" Cubs

Jack Mack, of Worcester, is one
 minor League manager, who will
 accept recruits from major league
 clubs to whom strings are attach
 ed. If the player is made a free
 agent why, of course, Mack will
 take him. Mack had the follow
 ing to say on the. subject after
 turning down the offer of a big
 league club to. farm out'.
 shortStop to him.-and Mack is
 badly in need of a short stopper
 at that
 'fNore of that game in mine' said Mack. ''Lt always has been my belief that minor league teams follow a policy and work against their own interests when they take players from the big leagues. If the player is a prospect the minor league cluh simply develops him for the club that loans him. Of course the minor league club has the services of the player. But if the minor leagues. did not follow the practice, did not play into the hands of the big leagues, and work for the latter, the big league teams could not carry these players

KILLINGER FOR J. C.

Dreams that Glen Killinger, ex-Penn State star infieider and outfielder, would come to Bridgeport were cracked by today's despatches from New Orleans, saying that killinger has been sent to the Jersey City Club for more seasoning. Miller Higgins conferred the tin can degree upon six Yam kee recruits, but not a single one was allotted to Bridgeport, It may be that Gene McCann. Derby pilot, after watching the yearllngs in their workouts at New Orleans didn't want thsm.
 Another rookie it was reported McCann was angling for, Georss Quinn, lefthanded pitcher. said to be a comi.r. has been cent to the WlEson Club of the Virginia Leae,1e.
 Waterbury Gets MeuseI
 Ed NeuseI, the young outfie1der who showed well in the workouts hq has be been nnt turned over to Billy Gilbert couple of years Neuse1 should be ripe for the "big show" Miller Huggins went on record as saying the other day
 -, AANoI S- 1TlSSDy, OurH1eloer, and Gomer Wilson, left handed twtrler will play with Sioux City in the wes- tern League; Bernard Cuip, another pitcher, will shoot 'em over for Charleston. and Camp Skinner. out fielder, has been presented to the New Orleans club
 The other survivors of the rockies outflt from which McCann may yet make picking are Bob Tecarr. for mer Jersey City pitcher; Einkie Haines, Jim Jolly. O. D. Tucker, Nor man McMillan. George Murray and a third sacker
 It may be that McCann entertains hopes of landing the latter who has been revealing stuff that stamps him as handy man at the bat and a. fast infielder.

McGRAW IS SATISFIED
 WITH FORM OF TEAM

'tI am satisfied with the condi- ton of our players" said Mana ger John McGraw as the Giants pulled stakes at San Antonio, and left for Dallas.
 T haven't driven the men this year, that is most of them. It has been peculiar season for me in that these are experienced men pretty well set and with good Knowledge of their own as to how they .wanG to go about training.
 'tOur pitching has been back ward and I. can't say that it is wholly satisfactory. Still I'm much pleased with the form TOney showed yesterday and the condi- ton in which Douglas reported.
 "The White Sox results don't worry me. Their pitchers are further along than ours. They trained at Marlin two weeks be- fore the regular reporting time and if my pitchers had gone to Hot Springs as I asked them to do they would have been better offSright now."

Real Surprise for
 Howard Bmkett

Howard, Burkett. son of Jesse who played with New Haven for a short time last year, is said to have been the most surprised youngster that ever was when he got his check for near $1,S00 awarded him by Com missioner Landis. He was at Birming- ham, trying for a position on, the team when the gift arrived. Burkett is do- ing right we'll for a kid just breaking in and the precedent set in his case by Judge LandiS has made every rock ie in the land sit up and take notice of the possibilities. Probably also it has made some magnates more careful of their step. Young Burkett has asked Father Jesse what he shall do with S1,SOe and has been told to put it in, a bank at home.
