ADVANCE SQUAD OF SKEETERS REPORT; I OTHER LEAGUE TEAMS ARE PREPARING

DAVIDSON IS ALMOST SURE

OF NAP BERTH MACON, (>a., March 2G.—Homer

Davison, the Cleveland boy, probably stands a better chance of making good in the majors than any other “kid" In the sixteen bis league training camps this spring. With only three backstops under contract and a 20 to 1 shot that the management will carry three catch- ers this season, there seems to be no

way out of the league 1or the ex-banlt clerk. All he has to do Is to show Man- ager Lajoie that thero is the least chance that he will some day he of value to the club, and Judging from the young fellow’s work so far he will be able to do that much, and probably more.

If Davidson sticks in the majors lie will have made a record seldom ac-

complished, that of going from semi- professional ranks to tho majors with- out using a single minor league as a

stepping stine. Few have attempted a

leap of that size’and landed safely. The Cleveland hoy has every chance

in tile world to make good. He has no

one to buck for a position with the Naps; lie has two first-class catcher, to take lt-Rons from; he is working for

a management that will give him every

opportunity to stick, and has every in-

centive that could be placed before a

youngster. If lie does make good, Davidson probably will not be used In more than live or ten championship games, hut he can learn a great, deal on

the bench and the following year be able to jump In and work his turn be-

hind the willow. Speed is the best point Davidson ha,

shown so far. lie hunts well and tv i‘

down to first fast, in a week or so hr will b« given a chance to show how w 1

he can handle n pitcher under fire and give demonstrations of Ills pegging ability.

Jersey City Batteries Show Up for Spring Training. 1 Buffalo Bunch Have Boiling Out at Columbia.

Broncos Ready to Go South-Only Few 1 Toronto Players Report. 1

JERSEY CITY, March 26,—Yester- day was reporting day for ft number of the players who are expected to for- tify tills city for another light for an

Eastern League pennant, and a large number of this year's candidates for the places to be filled responded to the summons of Manager Bean.

The men that arrived yesterday and went to work nrp Ihe pitchers and catchers. Five of the twirlers and three catchers responded yesterday, and with the presence of Manager Bean and Kelly, an inflelder from Albany, who accompanied Fitzgerald, ten men

were in action during the afternoon In

pitching, catching and hatting the ball The members of the first day’s squad

are George Pfanmiller, Low Wlltse Manser, Ira Plank and Otis, of the

pitching department: George Vande-

grift, Fitzgerald and Bailey, catchers

and Manager Bean and Kelly, Infleld- ors. The rest o£ the pitchers are ex-

pected tomorrow or within a day or

two. This Is the earliest arrival of

players ever made since Jersey City has been in the league. April 1 -has

always been the reporting day, and will be this year for the fielders, but Man- ager Bean desired to give his batteries the chance to warm up for the spring gumes, which start in one week front next Saturday, and ho summoned the pitchers anil catchers a week ahead of the others.

The team is admitted to be faster in the outfield with DeGroft at centra and dement and Hanford on either side. On the Infield, with Rodenfeld at second base and James Morgan at third, with Bean at short and Merritt cn first, there will be a big gain In strength on the baso line.
