The Penn- sylvania baseball committee is not in favor of the Princeton-Yale-Harvard chgnge. If they want me“to sit in the grandstand, however, I am per- fectly willing.

George Stovall and Other Agents After St. Louis Ball Players. | St. Louis, April 9.—Robert L. | Hedges, president of the lowly Browns, sdmitted last night that he was some- | what worried over the activities =of | George-Stovall and other Federal league agents who arrived yesterday and tried to get into touch with the i players of both local major league i ciubs. It was announced that Clemens, one of the St. Louis Ameri- ‘can league recruits, had deserted to the outlaws. { So far there has been little disposi- | tion on the part of the most desirable players of the Browns and Cardinals to listen to the advances of the Fed- erals. But among the lesser lights, those who are simply hanging on to their major league uniforms by the skin of their teeth, the feeling is naturally more receptive. Unusual publicity given Miner Brown’s team in the St. Louis papers has prompted declarations from many of the under- lings that they would take a filer with the outlaws rather "than be turned back to the minors.

Ward of the independent club across the bridge the recalcitrant pitcher was won over | by Secretary Walter 8. Ward in Gulf- port, Miss., vesterday after- noon. The voung official left the Mississippi town immediately with his capture. He headed direct for the Brooklyn training camp at Colum- bla, 8. C. Secretary Ward went to New, Or- leans several days ago to meet Man- ager Bill Bradley in an effort to ar- range some settlement with Seaton. In the meantime the Chicago Feds cancelled several exhibitions billed as counter attractions to the Gilants in New Orleans and moved to Gulfport. [ Bradley and Ward followed.

HOUSE AND LOT FOR To ““Make” Penn Varsity Eight| pipiT MARMILLE Caroia Native Makss Stapendon Ofr for Brave Inieider. Charlotte, N. C., April 9.—An offer right straight from Asheville, N, €, for the services of Rabbit Maranville to play with that team was the only ftem of interest here yesterday to cnliven an otherwise dull time. One A. C. Terrell of Asheville, who claims to know as much about the batting and flelding averages of major league players as any man in the coun- try blew into the hotel in the morn- ing aglow with excitement, He in- quired for an official of the club and Johnny Evers directed him to Seere- tary Nickerson. Mr. Terrell allowed he had seen Maranville play against Buffalo Mon- day and thought he might fit in mighty handy for the Asheville team. “Dog-gone, I was glad to come clear over here to see that little critter He is & downright smart ball r, as good as any I have seen in the Carolinas. By the way, Mr. Njck- erson, I have made the trip here (o size up Maranville, and jf he looked good to me I was empowered by the Asheville boom town committes to ofter him a house and lot in our town free of charge If he will come over and play.” Secretary Nickerson tried to ox- plain to the Asheville gentleman that it would be impossible to bring any such deal about. The old man Ipft In disgust because Maranville would not take advantage of the munificent offer. Y intends to hold on to his material as long as possible before cutting down. He has many men in the camp who joined the elub Unlihe the walver rule, if the manager in- tends to dispose of these men the deal has to go comipletely through, an no recall is possible under base- ball law. John Ganzel, the Rochester mana- ger, is in dire straits, and is constant- iy appealing to Btallings for help. On top of all the hard luck Ganzel has experienced with Federal leaguo jumpers, Tommy McMillen, the short- stop, is out with a twisted knee, and ‘Wallle Barrows has again suffered a broken leg. Stallings will do all he can to help Ganzel, but he is not yet ready to dispose of his present talent until he has a further look at them in action. i Stallings has his eve on a first base- man another major league club is esking waivers on and he stated ne would not pass him up when it came time for Boston to pass judgment on this man.
