But to offset this Cobb believes he will also put on a pitching- show of merit and if thia happens there may be the dickens to pay in the Yankee camp.

I The signing of Kellert brings to i mind Ed Barney, who received a trial with Hartford in 19,1.5, and i eventually developed into one tho best outfielders that ever blossomed in the old Eastern Association. Like Kellert, Barney was capable ot playing more than one position in that he was an outfielder and pitcher.

Barney first went out seeking a place on the hurling staff, but it happened that the HartjCord club was well fixed in this department so Barney turned his endeavors to the outfield. The youngster didn't make good right away, but after being loaned to the Meriden team he found himself and showed steady improvement. The next, season, reverting to the Senators, Barney won for himself a regular berth and developed into a. center fielder of high merit. He also proved to be a good sticker and the last year he played swung his club over the .300 mark.

When Clarkin dismantled his complete team in 1014, Barney disposed of to the Jersey City Internationals, together with Freddie Helgol- and Jimmy Curry. While with the Skeeters Barney's work caught tho fancy of a Yankee scout and through the medium of a sale went to New York, joining: the team tho year "Wild Bill" Donovan was manager. On the same club with the Yankees was "Lefty" Barney, not quite ripe for the" New York outfit, was obtained by the Pittsburgh Pirates through the waiver route. He also failed to stick with the Buccaneers and drifted back to the International League, this time to Bufalo. The vard regatta.

If the youngster, recommended by Hesse, turns out to be another Ed Barney, Paddy O'Connor will have something to chuckle about.

The lastest; minor league pilots, both well known to fans, who are making an effort to land Rafael Quintana, sensational Cuban short- stgp, from the Yankees, are Ira Thomas, former Collinsville resident, and Billy Gilbert, last season pilot of the Waterbury Brasscoes. Thomas Is now principal stockholder and manag-er ofthe Shevreport club of the Texas League, and Gilbert is directing the managerial reins of the Denver team of the Western League. Thomas sounded out Manager Huggins on the possibilities of getting the Cuban last week when the Yankees played in Dallas, but was told that at present Quintana was not available for any minor league team. Gilbert asked for Quintana yesterday, and, he, too, was told "nothing doing." Since Gene McCann passed up the chance of grabbing the Cuban for h''s Bridgeport club, Quintana has shown such remarkable fielding ability that Hug- gis has made up his-taind not to let out the youngster just now.

The Derby jjlayers have had some i snappy practice since their first game in Seymour and havo all intentions! of winning their first home game at least. it seems to be fairly well settled among- golf experts that in putting the weight should be forward on the left foot, with the right used to help brace the body and render it immovable. At least, the most of the star hitters of the present era follow this method and advocate it strongly. Putting, however, consists of a good bit more than merely keeping mpst of the weight on the left foot. This is merely a worthy ingredient, and aid to one of the most important details--a body that holds its place as the i hands, wrists and arms swing into action.
