The Judge departed on midnight
train last night for Orange. Texas, the
camp of the St Louis Cardinals and
hardly had he TAXED away from the
Hotel Grunewald when Manager Hug
summoned his board of strategy for
executive session.
The results of the secret concave as
announced to-day are as follows:
+ James Jolley, Hinkey Haines, George
Murray, Oliver Tucker, Norman McAIil-
Ian and Frank o'Doul are to remain
under the big tent until further notice.
Roster of Fortunates.
James Jolley is one of the southpaw
persons of which the Ylnks age sadly In
need. He pitched few games for the
Galveston club of the Texas League
last year. his most notable performance
being the shutting out of Iris Speakers
nine. Jim Is big and Is as jolly as his
name both on the bah field and in the
/ obbies of a hote. The Polo Grounds
fans are sure to like this fellow.
Hinkey Haines is one OF the famous
Penn State twins. He is an outfielder
and as swift as a Kansas cyclone when
he hits the bases or chases a long fly.
The only trouble with Hinkey is that he
treats the ball a bit too gently when he
IS at bat. but he is improving rapidly
IN this respect. IN the not dim and dis
tant future tbs boy may be the regular
center fielder OF the Yanks.
George Murray Is a stoclSy right
handed pitcher who was a member OF
the Rochester club of the International
League last season. He has been
worked oftener than any other rookie
twirier IN the exhibition games and is
almost certain TO prove a valuable addi-

the Yanks last year at training camr.
lie has been used this spring in right

hitters in the Yankee lineup. His regu-

Giant star.
Frank O'Doul is a southpaw whom
the Yanks had two years ago. He was
sensation in the Pacific Coast League
last season and the New York club
grabbed him back during the winter
This O'Doul is a heavy hitter and fast
on the bases. Many predict that Frank
will solve the right field problem for
Manager Hug IL he ever gets chance

And now for the sad news. Glen Kill
linger, one of the Penn State twins, has
been released to Jersey City for further
seasoning. This gridiron hero is dis
appointed over his fate, but realizes the
Justice OF his sentence. He is a willing
worker and II he sticks to baseball will
doubtless get another trial in the big
leagues.
sIxfnner's Release "a Surprise.
Denver c. Griggsby, outfielder, and
Gomez Wilson, southpaw. are sent to
Sioux City OF the Western League: Ed
Neuse. outfielder, goes to Billy Gilbert's
Waterbury club OF the Eastern League.
Bernie Culp. the submarine tvirler, is
bound for Charleston OF the Sally
League. and Camp Skinner is TO remain
here with the New Orleans Peiicans.
The release OF Skinner was big sur
prise. He showed much promise as an
outhelder and It Is presumed that the
two Colonels have a strong string tied I
TO the fleet feet Of Camp.
AS a postscript TO the sad part OF the I
tale Robert Tecarr explained tonight I
that he was not one OF the released
rockies. Robert Is a southpaw who was
