Connolly Goes to Little Rock
Frazee Lands Dugan's
Signature.
By DANIEL.

With one outfielder signed and an
other released. the Giants yesterday
kept their roster on an even keel.
Ralph SINNERS. purchased last fall
from the Indianapolis club OF the
American Association, was the athlete
whose contract was received by Jim
Tierney. Joe Connolly, who was acquired
from San Antonio toward the close of
tive 1921 campaign got his release to the
Little Rock outfit OF the Southern
League.
SINNERS is the fleet, hard hitting.
graceful fly catcher who will have it
out with Bill Cunningham and Ike
Boone for the privilege OF filling the
Number Twelves vacated by George
Burns. now a Red. Baseball critics in
the American Association have it that
Ralph already is sure of the job. He
was one of the leading base stealers
OF the country last year. and on three
occasions. says Tierney. scored from
first on single. IF SINNERS can do
that he is considerable speed boy.
AS for hitting. he turned in neat
$40 Ralhh is wintering in Milwaukee.
but the fans here are more interested
in the scene of his summering. If, by
any chanca. SINNERS fails to make
good the New York club will have
wasted som4ething like $4,000, for the
wise ones have it that 1t paid that sum
for him.
Connolly. who played with the Claws
in the final game at Philadelphia IN
1921. seems to be likely lad. but he needs
more seasoning. Tierney said that his
release to Little Rock had no oonnec-
ton with the purchase of Jonnard, the
right handler, from that club.
Bill Ryan, tine Giant right handler
looked into the offices OF the club for
a spell and then rushed for the train
for Hot Springs. Ark. In so far as
condition is concerned Bill is ready TO
start the season. He is not going to
the Springs to get rid of any rolls Of
adipose tissue. bait he does want to
boil out his arm. which went bad on
him last September when he went IN
to finish one OF those lamentable
games with the Cardinals at the Polo
Grounds.

Now Is the Time TO Ask for Pheasant Eggs.
One hundred thousand pheasant eggs for
free distribution 10 sportsmen. farmers and
lovers of game birdS will be the product
from the New York State game farms this

tions for pheasant eggs which each year
are received by the Conservation Commission
IN increasing numbers from persons who are
desirous OF Matching pheasants with which
to maintain the stock OF those birds In their
vicinity.
In order TO insure prompt attention those
who intend TO make application for pheasant
eggs should do by communicating with
the Conservation Commission at Albany not
later than April I. All pheasant eggs will
be assigned In the order in which the appli-
cations are received. The pheasant is not
only highly priced by the sportsmen as a
game bird but II has become n favorite with
the farmer owing to the assistance II renders
agricultural interests by destroying vast
numbers OF insects which are destructive 10
