with TWENTY TWO TIGERS WILL GO SOUTH Situation Cleared by Sale of Seven of the Younger Players Siever Signs But His Team Mate Still Balks All of deals that the Detroit club expects to make this spring were completed yesterday and as a result Manager Armour is now prepared to figure clearly on his spring training plans After ali the blue pencilling is done the list shows that there will bo about twenty two Tigers in camp at Augusta on March 5 when the training season will open Of thesepyhajly fifteen ql sixteen will em bark at Detroit on Saturday next The others for their own convenience will go to the training camp from their homes thereby saving them much travel and some money ive players were sold during the day Watkins of the Indianapolis club dropping into town to complete the deal for players whom it was decided some days ago that he should have He takes to the Hoosier village Eddie Cicotte and ront right hand pitchers Christman a left hand twirler Perry the Grand Rapids outfielder and Beaver the Ottumwa outfielder Of these men Cicotte a local boy is the only one Detroit fans have seen in action Earlier in the week Pitcher Disch had been sold to St Paul while Thom as was released to Minneapolis about ten days ago Siever Will Go South Eddie Siever will be a Tiger hav ing signed his contract yesterday at which time he got notice to report for the southern trip This leaves but a few hold outs One of the more no table eases of this sort is that of Charlie Schmidt the catcher'who was a teammate of Siever's at Minneapolis last year Schmidt runs a restaurant at Coal Hill Ark and says he pre fers to stay there rather than to sign the contract that was sent to him The instrument names a liberal figure for a youngster who has yet to show but Schmidt who apparently has been unwisely advised is holding out for several hundred dollars more than of fered lie will be allowed to hold out as long as he likes He is not counted on for Augusta If he does fail to report he will miss the chance of his life for a young catcher who can make good is sure of a permanent berth with the local club Three of the infielders are unsigned these being Lindsay Schaefer and O'Leary The last named two are not worried about a bit as they are at Hot Springs getting into condition and are not doing that sort of ithing for fun They have been notified to report here on Saturday and at that time it is' probable that the difficultybetween players and club will be straightened out Lindsay is understood to be suffering from the same trouble as Schmidt Undoubtedly however he will report as his contract is a good one The club has Eubanks and Wahoo Sam to use on first base if necessary and also has a line on two other men of more experience than Lindsay one of whom probably can be secured Ievv Drill is L'nleeile1 Whether or not Lew Drill will be here is said to be something undecided as yet He has been tendered his contract and the club has received no I notice that anything in the instrument is not satisfactory Letters received here however says that Drill is pon dering deeply on whether or not he would better retire from baseball The law firm of which he is a member has built up an excellent practice and Drill I now needed in St Paul all the year round That is what troubles him Were he a member of the St Paul club he might be able both to plav ball and to attend to his end of the' business With Detroit however he must be away from home for seven months straight'' But the call is strong in the spring and it is expected that Lew will decide to have one more sum mer at the old sport "With Drill out the club would have tout three men on the catching staff and only one of these sure to do War ner of course is the man Doran is in lorida and has been notified to re port Payne of Rochester is to be given a thorough trial as will Schmidt if the latter sees fit to hie himself to Augusta No notice' will be taken of Cleary the Rochester twirler who is holding out because his contract call for more than Donovan or Mul lin get Eubanks has Cleary's berth ticket now and 1t isn't certain that the club will rustle round to find an upper for the Rochester lad even should' he appear He and Schmidt can both hel the club or dlB posed of as it sees fit They are out of organized ball as long as Detroit sees fit to keep them out With these conditions existing iho training party at Augusta frames up as follows: Pitchers Donovan Mullin Killian Donahue Siever Wiggs McCafferty and Eubanks Catchers Warner Doran and Payne with expected to report Infield Lindsay Schaefer Coughlin and Lowe Outfield Crawford McIntyre Bar rett Jones and Cobb This list numbers Just tweniy two Barrett may decide not to go though he has not yet notified the club that he will not make the trip Barrett and Drill are the men who are regard ed as possible stay at homes while Cleary and Schmidt are men notcounted on who may report Of the men named Wiggs will go to Augusta from New Orleans Doran from Ormond la 'Warner from New York direct Crawford from Omaha and Cobb from Royston Ga Schmidt was notified to go direct from his home in Arkansas All of the others will come here Morgan the infielder not named will not join the team until June Tlie Pop Corn (Man Spealzs Not wishing to slight anybody con nected with the Tigers or Bennett park while in the way of mentioning names we are constrained to publish a letter received yesterday from Ern est "Wheelan the best popcorn man In the American league who seems unduly worried by the oleo scandal now agitating those who have time to tear themselves away from the sporting pages Mr Wheelan in his letter says: wish to answer a question con cerning the butter that was used on the popcorn at Bennett park last year call to your mind that in my speech I said that this popcorn was buttered with Elgin creamery butter and also that It was sold at the White ront butter store I claim that I am an ex pert on butter and the Whit ront Butter Co could not pull the wool over my eyes and sell me bad butter All the butter fhat came to me was tested before I used it I wish to say that I would not sell anything that I would not use myself will be at'Bennett park this year and the popcorn house Is open to all to inspect will give $500 to any charitable institution that the public will name if any one will prove I do not use the best creamery butter am a man of business and principle and would not abuse the confidence of the public I hope the ball fans will be satisfied with this statement and will not blame me for what has been given out since the ball park closed If what is said is true I will advertise another butter firm this season and will try' to please you Robe Kissinger Sore on Ban Adrian Mich ebruary 24
