East, who hit for 1916 in the

may be given a trial with the
Griffmen here, President Crit
fifth admitted today. Negotia-

clubs.
East has refused to sign a

timated that he will jump to the
outlaw Independents at Kenosha,

to make good in the major
leagues, it is thought he will
change his mind about quitting
organized baseball.
East has been a smuggling SEN
sation in the American Asso-

He is a big fellow, lacks speed
and is not a dazzling fielder,
but he makes up for that with
the weight of his wallops. He

foul committed in the medley race

foul was attributed to Ray Buker,
running the final leg for the Illinois

York A. c. when tapped by the
latter. -
Higgins was alleged to have been
delayed long enough to make Joie

tention was supported by the offic.
falls, who disqualified both Illinois
teams. Buker had to be escorted
from the track because of an ad.

No Use Of Coming Up for
Trial Unless Player In
tends to Stick. .s
BY WARREN w. BROWN.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. March
O-"What's the use of coming up
% this big leage If a guy ain't
going to stick?" Joe Rabbit, the
Luskogee marvel, sagely observed
over his second helping Of steak
last night. Mr.. Rabbit. let. It be
known, is the life Of the party. It
IL too early Of course to pass an
opinion on his baseball merits. But
In all other training camps acttyi'
ties he registers 100 per cent.
Joe, like all the other visiting fire.
men, has been given q member.
ship card that entities him to the
liberties of all the orange and
grapefruit groves in Polk county.
On Sunday Joe camped under a tree
most of the day.
1T ate twenty-three Of them
oranges" he announced during the
evening. "Of course they weren't
kangaroos." The kangaroo It should
be noted is Joe Rabbit for tanger.
Inc.
Somebody told Joe that 1t was an
order by Johnny Evers that all the
athletes run the four miles from
the ball park to their hotols at
Lake Alfred.
That worried Joe, especially when
big Ed Walsh announced that any.
body caught nipping rides on autos,
horseback or bicycles would be
penalized. Joe went to bed early
Sunday night to rest up for the
road work. He refused his usual
three orders of buckwheat cakes In
the morning in order to be ready
for his first showing at the ball
park. It is the first time on record
that Joe refused to eat everything
on the menu. He was first into the
dining room this morning and his
beautiful Musl5ogee baritone, yes
he sings, too, could be heard carol
ing this refrain, "Aint Them Coun-
try Sausages Came In YETI"
Mr.. Rabbit used to be a fighter,
he says. He also says that 1t was
his boxing that made him the
great base runner he is today.
"Why, can get hell Of a lead
off the bases because I know how
to shadow box and step around" he
says. You'd be surprised how
good It makes me-"
Dough McWeny, who is Mr.. Rab.
bits roommate, V trying to arrange
for Joe's appearance here In a fight
against a suitable opponent. The
chamber Of commerce, Mr.. Rabbit
has been told, will promote the
fight and Ed Walsh, who Mr.. Rab.
bit has also been told trained Frank
Gotch, Jess Willard and others for
their mat and ring engagements
will superintend his training.
