Wilmington was in the Tri-State League this time, all right, and the manager was one William M. Connelly. It was on the sports page (all two columns of it) of April 25, 1907, that we struck gold.

The Wilmington club was leaving for two weeks of Epring training at Portsmouth, that day, and there was a story on the personnel. The paragraph on the roster Included "McCarty (no 'h'), third base." Down a little farther, it said that "McCarty is from the Niagara University and is another good hitter." Several weeks later, the club was back in town and played Baltimore of the Eastern League an exhibition game in its first local appearance. Our man was on third base, and there was this comment; "McCarty is a fast man and is in the game all the time." When the Tri-State season opened. Wilmington played at Trenton and lost, 9 to 3. The team got only three hits off a pitcher named Hafford, who "has tremendous speed, possesses a decidedly wicked spit ball and also is mighty wild on occasions when the team is in hot water." "McCarty" was on shortstop, batted sixth and got one of the three hits.

He also had a stolen base, and handled three outs and an assist without an error. But "Mccarty's" stay in Wilmington was short. At that, he lasted longer than Manager Connelly, who quit when the team lost nine of its first 10 games. The averages for 10 games had McCarthy hitting a robust .206. On May 8, the story of the ball game disclosed that "McCarty played a poor game at third base." Two days later, the paper said that "Dithridge, an infielder from the Baltimore club, may cover third in place of McCarty.

The latter, however, will not leave, as Dithridge is only loaned." But leave he did, and fast. Among the notes on the May 21 baseball story was this one: "Joe McCarty, released by Wilmington, has gone to his home in Philadelphia. McCarty was a hard worker, but was evidently in too fast company." The kid from Niagara had played 12 games for Wilmington and collected only seven hits, all of them singles, for a .175 average. In the field, he made five errors. But he caught on with Franklin of the Inter-State League that same season, and hit .314 in 71 games.

That was one of the two times he batted over .300 in his 15 years as a player. From Franklin, he was sold to Toledo and later made Wilkes-Barre, Buffalo and Louisville. He never played in the major leagues, wasn't even classed as a good minor league. But the collegian who "was evidently In too fast company" here is an all-time great as a manager. Now, some say he is evidently too fast for the company.

And Dot's Dot THE Polish Basketball League's arbitration board has a problem. Civic Association, which was eliminated by Polish Library in the playoffs, filed a protest on its first defeat over a dispute between the scorekeepers on the amount of personal fouls called against a Civic player, Jimmy Collins, "who was forced to leave the game therefore enabling Polish Library to go on and win the game" In the protest. Captain George McDowell claims that Civic was the home team for the game and that its scorer was the official one He also wrote that the game officials were not asked to settle the dispute, and that the president of the league made a decision that the Polish Library was the home team, thereby upholding the Library scorer's record on personal The protest boils down to the argument as to which was the home team The game was played in Modjeska Hall, site of all Polish League games When there actually is no "home" team, the usual procedure is for the referee to designate one scorer as official before the game starts Our informant says that this was not done all season and if it is so, the league is fortunate that this dispute is the first one A year ago, Eddie Horgan attempted to arrange an all-Wilmington spring training series the Blue Rocks vs. Wilmington, N. of the Tobacco State League The Carolina club couldn't make it then, but Is interested this spring However, the games still won't come off because there is too much mileage between the two training camps Horgan has been in correspondence with Jack and reports that the manager is anxious to get fctarte! Musgrave, who (CooUnuea Tallowing Face) Phelan to Sign As Dons' Coach St.

Mary's Coacli Agrees To Terms of Pro Club, Will Succeed DeGroot LOS ANGELES, March. 15 (JP). Jimmy Phelan is all set for the job of head coach of the Los Angeles Dons next fall. The boss of St. Mary's football has agreed to terms of a contract offered him by the All-America Conference club, sources close to the Dons disclosed.

Phelan is expected htre ir a few days from San Francisco to sign a contract. Phelan will succeed Dud DeGroot, who stepped out late last season when the team was playing in-and-ou football. Phelan was captain of Notre Dame's 1917 team and started his coaching career at the University of Missouri. He went from there to Purdue. Then Washington lured him West and kept him until 1941, after which he moved to St.

Mary's. Carl Snavely of North Carolina slated to take over the Dons next fall and the management had arranged a formal announcement party, but at the last minute Snavely decided he couldn't accept. The Dons had to start looking anew. Phelan has been No. I on the lit for several weeks and the only hitch, apparently, has been the financial consideration.

The Dons have signed Herman Wedemeyer, the Honolulu flash who played so brilliantly under Phelan at St. Mary's. Also in the fold is Glen Dobbs, who didn't function so well last season under the formation.
