"is divided into two parts, thus differ
ing from Julius Oasar's gall, which
was divided into three. The divisions
Of this story are--Part I and Part IL.
In Part shall give you the list
Of the new players who have been cor
raled for Manager Huggins for next
season. In Part II you will be handed
the names Of those gentlemen who are
going back to New Orleans for an
other session ae Heinemanp Park and
q second helping of the justly famed
Creole pra1ines."
Even on the list Of allegediy "new"
players there was one interloper dis
covered. This ia "Bearcat" Deartnan,
long, lanky Jeft-handcr from the wild
district bordering on White Plains,
n. Y. DeaYiuan pitched seni-pro ball
around Westchester the last few sea
sons and made two Western trips with
the Yankees last year, in addition to
romping daintiiy around the Polo
Ground outneld when the tc~nl was at
home. AS far as the Yakee players
are concerned, he is the original "man
Of mystery" He may be Swiss
yodeller, for all they know to the
contrary. Nobody ever saw him pitch
and nobody ever heard hin talk, ex-
cept Waily Pipp, who listened IN at
tentively when Dearnlan murrnured u

last July.
Three Rookie Fiychasers
However, the boys harbored no
srrf,dra yrt bir1 and in 4Spir mao
nanimity they voted him 1000 per
word spoken by him after August l as
his cut of the worlds series melon.
This sum figured cut through two decf-
NAL places amounted to 5000 at the
present rate of exchange. With this
splendid start in life, the "Bearcat"
will go southwark In the spring and
liven M the party with his bursts OF
silence.
Three rookie fychasers are on the
list of Barrow bargains for spring
wear and tear in 1923-Bernie Acton,
from the Wilson, n. c., club of the
Piedmont League; Elton Langford,
from Lubbock, Tex, and Harry La
Vallee, drafted from the Worcester ag
gregation of the Eastern League. The
only infelder catalogued as ''new" is
Johnnie Wight, the Tulane University
three-sport athlete who made such an
impression on Miller Huggins, when
he played third base for the New
Orleans Pelicans against the Yankees
IN the exhibition games last year.
Young John was awkward and gawky
last year, but he was a persistent
annoyer of opposing pitchers and had
a delightful habit of ciinging to any
ball that buzzed into his sector Of the
There are two right-handed pitchers
in the persons of Oscar Roettger, from
Sioux City, and Ebert Johnson, drafted
from Aberdeen, S. d. Ben Bengough,
the Buffalo International League catch
er purchased at the end of the season
just passed, complete the tale of the
eight acquisitions for the New Orleans
trip. AS payment for Bengough, the
Yankees handed over Westcott King
don, shortstop, Internationally, and
Luke Urban, catcher and former Boston
College football star, subject to recall
at the end Of next season.
The Recalled Brigade which is to
join the colors once more and struggle
for place in the first line Yankee

the Jersey City and Reading clubs os
the International League, while "Killy'
covered second base for the Skeeters
in constantly improving style, though
he was bit weak with the stick. Ben
Egan, the Jersey City manager, opined
that killinger was such a hard worker
and willing scholar that he might turn
out to be 3 big help to the Yankees.
There is no better Aychaser than Hink-
ey Haines roaming the fields these
days, but Higgins had an idea that the
Penn Slater would never be able to hit
from the right side of the plate and
tried to make him shift over.
Promise of Greatness
The result was that Haines fiiyvered
at the bat in the exhibition games and
Huggins soured a bit on him, though he
did say once on the bench, "Lord bless
me-, If that guy Haines could ALWAYS
meet the ball the way he hit that last
one what great bailplayer he would
be-"
