Skinner has never played at the Polo Grounds, and he would find somewhat of a task to play the ball as it caromed off the right field wall. The Douglasville tad appeared in 128 games for the Dallas team of the ‘Texas League last season, and while he batted .327, his fielding was a bit ragged and he ranked at the bottom among the outflelders. His fielding average was .874, Haines is the far better fielder of the two, and spent two weeks with :he Yankees at the Polo Grounds at the end of last season. In seveaty- one games for the Hartford team of the Eastern League Haines fielded -983 and was one of the best fly chasers in the league, The war cor- respondents with the club are inclined to favor the Penn State man over Skinner for Hinkey has shown to a much better advantage than his rival. ‘There was no practice game on ac- count of a thunder storm, but there was plenty of live news in the Yankee camp, for in addition to the supension of Roth, Babe Ruth was named as captain of the American League champions. The Babe was nominated yesterday morning in the clubhouse after the practice was called off. He celebrated his captaincy by going out to the Country Club and playing eighteen holes over a muddy course with Hoyt, Shawkey, Bush and Mays. The Yankees will play their third ex- hibition game with the New Orleans, Pelicans to-morrow. Bernie Culp, the underhand pitcher, and Bob Tecarr may pitch for the big leaguers. The regulars will get into action on Satur- day when Rogers Hornsby and the Cardinals arrive. Jones and O'Doul will pitch against Mr. Hornsby on Saturday and Carl Mays and Joe Bush on Sunday Bob Meuse] may not play in the game to-morrow as he was limping about the hotel to-day as the result of injuring his leg in chasing a fly ball in Sunday's game. Grimes the fold, as his presence would help their pennant chances: Ebbets considered Robbie's sug- stion carefully and then called imes for another conference. Eb- bets agreed to pay the pitcher a flat salary, which will be just as much as Grimes got from the club last There is also a clause In the Sentoeat that will pay Burleigh an additional $1,000 if Ebbets should be satisfied with the work of the hurler this year. Jimmie Hickman, the outfielder who was suspended by Landis recently and ordered not to play ball with any team tor a period of one year, arrived here lust night and is awaiting a confer- ence with Landia, who is expected to arrive here this afternoon. It was announced that the Brooklyn Club had secured George Whitted from the Pirates on the waiver price. Whitted will not be assigned to a regular berth, according to Robbie, but the latter expects him to be of considerable assistance as a utility player. Roy John Auer, a young semi-pro hurler of the Bronx; John Rosebery, outfielder whom Larry Sutton signed while playing for the Newark City League, and Bill Bishop, a pitcher who hails from the mine regions of ‘ss ennsylvania, will not accompany the am on the exhibition tour en route North, The trio have been ordered to report to their respective homes to await fur- ther orders.

Di Croci connected with the headpin every time he bowled. In the fifth frame, however, he only gathered five pins, otherwise his total would have been much higher.
