NEW YORK, March 13.-My con
IN tact men down at the training
camps inform me that of all the
spring inf1eld sensations now sprout-
ing in the south perhaps the most
interesting is jim Levey, the Jewish
boy who Is to play short for the
Browns. 1t develops that the ST.
Louis club bought Levey out of the
marine corps, and that he was dis
covered by Jim Breckenridge, the
big Dartmouth pitcher who was
with the Athletics in 1890
Breckenridge had hurled against Levey

ouantico Marines and passed the tip on

Browns, aud fellow Oklahomsn. Nc
Evoy finally landed Levey and now, after
Drelirinary tutelaRe and experience with
Tulsa and Wichita Falls, this direct de-
soendsnt of King Solomon is ready for the
big show. Levey halls from Pittsburgh
Our west Palm Beach correspondent
adds that while Lu Blue is a holdout he
really needn't bother about reporting. as
his Job already has gone to Irving Burns,
one OF Shanty Hogan,s Somervihe MASS
neighbors. who was with Levey at Wichita
Fails last year.
TN recent years there has been one
L quaint rite without which no
spring training season could be re-
garded as official Each March the
Cleveland club has benched Doc
Jameson, that fleet and erudite citi-
zen of Patterson, N. j., who is listed
among the Indians left flelders.

In March and early April Doc Is
supposed to b. through, but, by May he's
busy doing most Of the fly chasing while
some supposed successor still is wondering
what II Is all about down at New Orleans,
or out at Decatur.
My New Orleans informant at the camp
Of the Indians says that Roger Peckin-
papzh has relegated Jameson, Seeds, and
Fax to the Yannigans and has given
DOCS Job to a young man with the most
euphonious name Of Vosmik Joe Vosmik,
it is and he IS native Cleyelander, who
spent the 1880 summer at salubrious Terre
Haute.
OF course, I a m all for vosmik, especially
as he Z one OF the shaker Heights Nos-

Z ALSO am told that there still is a
J. good chance that Willie Kamm
will be traded by the White Sox to
Cleveland. It seems likely that this
deal will be closed as soon as Honey
moon Morgan, a recent benedict who
is touring Mexico with his wife,
s1,00 and a $1,000 car, makes up his
mind to accept a paltry $4,000 from
the Indians
At the close of the 1890 season the Chi
eago club could have had joey sewelI. now
with the Yankees; Burnett. the third base
: man, and Fonseca. all for Kamm. Ger
tain officials of the White Sox were well
disposed toward the proposition. In fact,
! understand that DOME Bush wanted to
sign tie papers right of, as he was ready
to do almost anything to hid himself of
the lethargio Kamm, who undoubtedly is
finished in 50 far as any team managed
by Bush is concerned.
But Charley Comiskey halted the deal
I paid 500 900 for Kamm. and l am go

Well, that may be, but he looks twelve
years older 10 me-" Rrowled the owner of
the sox, as he staIked out of the confer

again now.
