BREAK WITH
MAJORS
Clubs Are Carrying Many Re-
cruits With Them to
Training Camps.

According to word from the coast,
the Pacific Coast League will make
more of a practice of developing it's
own talent during the coming spring
than ever before The coast people
are ready for q break with the ma
jors over the draft, and do not eX-
pect to get any more big league dis
cards. The new policy is to develop
California's native material.
The Coast League has raised its
player reserve list to twenty five
men, the same as the majors, but
a number of these players must not
have had class AA experience. The
different coast clubs are taking from
thirty TO forty players to their train
ing camps, the weather. clubs tax
ing forty men.
They have engaged old-time play
ers to instruct their youth and tC
scout the town lots for promising
players.
San Francisco and Los Angeles
baseball writer's are telling their read
ers that the coast has better mate
rial to draw from than any other
section of the country. They point
to the quick rise of Kamm and
O'Connell as samples of the Califor.
MIA baseball product.
1t must be admitted that if the
coast holds it's own stars the ajors
OF the East will lose one Of their
best recruiting grounds.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. Jack
Dunn, owner and manager Of the
three-time champion Orioles. will
not have to sell two more Of his
stars. He has been released from
the obligation imposed upon him at
the December meeting Of the Inter
national League magnates. Balti'

George Stallings, president and
manager of the Rochester Club,

from his promise. Thus ends the
bitter feud between these two mag.
mates.
fn accordance with his promise,
Dunn has already sold Jack Bent
ley to the New York Giants and
was expected to sell two more from
Max Bishop, second baseman; Joe
Boley, shortstop, and Merwin Ia
cobson, outfielder. Now he will re-

Ruth and possibly Wally Schang

Here's one of these letters, COM
ing in about a week ago:
Dear Sir:
How will the Griffs take the
field when the season opens !?
That is subject in which all the
fans are interested. They want
to see better team in uniform
that what Milan had last year.
Please write something about how
the team looks to you and oblige,
yours in sport,
WILLIAM A. SULLIVAN"
The next writer apparently had
arisen from the wrong side of
his downy couch. After slam
banging the Washington club,
President Griffith and the "fool-
ish fans who pay their way to
see a bum team perform" the
writer goes on as follows:
"It is about time the team made
good or quit. If Bush pats the
same players in the lineup he will
fall down just like Milan did. Will
he have the nerve to clean out the
loafers and the grouchers and the
stage-struck heroes of the dia-
mond?
ut seems to me that this is all
up to you baseball writer's. Last
year you promised us the PEN
nant. l don't say exactly that you
did, but some did. We were all
hoped up, too. We thought
Milan would deliver the goods.
What happened? 1t is an old
story now. Let us look ahead.
What sort of a team do you really
think Bush will have when the
season opens ?"
A third letter, running along
like the Mississippi at flood time,
said, in part:
81 always read whatever you
write, even when you write about
boxers. But l am especially in
terested in your baseball articles
because l think you write what
YOU really think, which is more
thanSa lot of the others do, not
only in Washington but every
where else. l often wonder if
baseball writer's think the fans
don't know anything. On the
other hand, the fans know a good
deal more than the baseball
writer's think they do.
81 want to know what kind
of team Bush will have. What
will his lineup be? Do you think
it will be much of an improve
ment over a year ago? Please
devote some of your time to an
swering these questions, etc.,
etc"

The present rule regarding the

Gardiner will relay these propo-
sitiOns to Comiskey in Chicago and
expects to close the deal up or
abandon it after he talks to Kid
Gleason, White Sox manager. Glea-
SON lives in Philadelphia, and he
viii talk to the Yankee colonels and
Miller Higgins.
Higgins is making special trip
from Cincinnati to attend this
meeting. He has no other impor-
tant business in the East except to
close for Collins.
The demands of the Chicago club
have been resisted for months, but
the pressure is on. The Yankees
want Collins so badly that it is a
good bet they will yield the men
Gleason has named. One of these
men is Waite Hoyt.
IF he goes to the White Sox the
Yankees will get a Highlander in
exchange. Higgins is said to be
willing to trade Hoyt if he can get
Ted Blankenship.
Presumably Aaron Ward and
Bob Meusel will leave the Yankees
if Collins leaves the White Sox, but
there seems to be some doubt now
as to whether Comiskey will part
with Outfielder Bib Falk.
In any event, the deal will be on
or off within ten days. The Chi
cago club has not offered Collins a
new contract, and by mutual agree
ment will not do so unless it is
definitely decided that he is not to
90 to the Yankees.

The opinion is held here in the most conservative circles that great day for Fairfield is about to dawn. There are in the offering. many de- velopments, known by way of the grape vine" wireless, which would indicate that the full glory of Fair field is about to burst upon this com munity. It is known beyond dispute that at Fl Broadway the opinion Is entertained that George Gordon Crawford has become the head of the most wonderful flower garden of the steel corporation. It is thought this district is the perfect blossom in all the collection And these expressions are quoted having been first used by the steel corporation officials to designate this district. Information here by way of the above mentioned grape vine, is never questioned, but that is being projected comes to pass. this community will not possess enough ground to take care of the increase in population. Having within three years attained a population of 7500, which Is official. it is believed three times that number will be recorded not many years hence.
 It would be an inexcuseab1e omis- sion to neglect to say that the city board of education has recently pur- chased six acres of land in the heart of the city for Junior and Senior High school with large recreational facilities and that the schools will be built next year. Few communities have been the possessors of a board of education with the vision of the local board so that educationally, the out look is as promising as it is indus trially.
