up for trial now. He was with
Cleveland IN the Appalachian league

1t is hardly to be expected that
Donaldson will leap. at once into the
big leagues first rank but he may
show signs of development and earn
a chance to learn the fine points
after Goslin RECEIVERS his playing
condition. Donaldson is right.hand
hitter, which should make him
more valuable as Evans is the only
other Washington gardener who
swings from the right side Of the
plate.
Frank Reil, the Tampa pitcher
who showed his stuff one morning
to DOME Bush before the latter took
his troupers up to Savannah, has
finally been purchased for trial by
the Griffs. Rel looked good enough
to have been signed in April, the
price mark placed upon him stop
ping the deal. Since then the col
lapse of Bush's pitching staff has
made Reil's cost appear small when
compared to steady losses and 50 he
is expected to report here today.

old schoolboy Highlander, from Lake

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-George Sis
Ter, appearing at Sportsman's Park
yesterday minus the smoked glasses
which have protected his eyes since
his sinus operation, offered the
most encouraging news since he
was stricken with influenza during
last winter.
Sisler stated that his general con-
dition has shown a wonderful i'm
provement during the last few
days, which he attributes to the
removal of his tonsils last week.
Leaning over the top rail of the
upper grandstand deck, Sisler said
that he could distinguish the en-
tire layout of the Cardinals and
Pirates almost as perfectly as
before his eyes became affected.
Il have felt more encouraged
during the last few days than any
time since my Illness" remarked
George. AS for the date of my
return to the game I am not adj
vancing that far. You can tell the
fans that those who said / would
never play another game of ball
will be fooled"
Sisler has put on a few extra
pounds during his idleness and
from general outward appearances
looks to be in condition to return
to his uniform without much pre-
hminary training.

BAL T|M0R.EANS
WANT NEW
ORIOLES
Monumental City Tired OF Sue
cession Of Pennants in In
ternationaI League.
By ERNEsT A. BOWERSOX.

BALTIMORE. June AT the
conclusion Of the current campaign
Jack Dunn will rip apart the won
derful minor league machine which
four times has swept through the
international circuit to champion
ships. That's a certainty now. 1t
isn't his wish, however. 1t seems
to be the desire Of the local base
ball populace.
While they are in the midst Of
drive toward their fifth consecu-
tive flag, the acquisition Of which
would create new record Tor
organized baseball, the Orioles find
a situation here such as prevailed
in Philadelphia when Connie Mack's
Athletics were well-nigh invincible.
Fans are tired of seeing them ride
rough.shod to victory after victory,
tired Of seeing the same old faces
day in and day out and long for
new atmosphere, new color.
That, Dunn believes. explains the
poor attendance at Oriole Park. A
high.salaried outfit such as that
now holding forth at the pine sta
dunn out Twenty-ninth street way,
cannot exist on the receipts that
have been taken in thus far. Some
thing must be done. It will be
done. The dismantling of the cluE
Of which Baltimore fandom was 50
proud year or so ago is close
at hand.
Joe Boley will. of course, make
the grade which leads to the big
leagues at the end OF the present
season. His sale for 100000 or
more will probably save Dunn from
showing q balance on the wrong
side of the ledger when the cur
tain is lowered. Two or three
other Birds may go up with the
great Polish infielder.
It is almost a sure shot that
Robert Groves, the international
League strike-out king, will get his
chance beneath the big tent, while
Max Bishop is another who seems
likely to go up.
It is Dummies idea to rebuild
team around three or four
younger members of the present
aggregation. Wise old Jack knows
what he is about. Long he has
been regarded one Of the greatest
builders in the game, and he can
always be expected to be up in the
thick of the fight.
Something is radically wrong with
the Birds just now. OF course, the
team misses Jack Bentley and
needs pitchers, but there Is some
thing else. The old spirit doesn't
seem to be there. Once the flock
was the scrappiest club on the
