In advance of the combat the Cardinal players have duly registered and sworn to an alibi which deals with sore arms and props as a result of the poor training facilities in St. Augustine, Fla., a spot which facetious railroad promoters annually boom as a winter resort. It was cold enough in St. Augustine, Harry Sallee says, to freeze the milk of human kindness, which is some cold.
Withal, Manager Huggins says the populace will be pleased to note the change in his ball club since Mike Mowrey, Ed Koney, Bob Harmon and other conspirators have been decorated with the royal tin badge. In lieu of Koney he has Jack Miller. The difference between Koney and Miller is that Miller is a first baseman.
Butler, who was catalogued in the Pittsburgh roster as a second baseman, will be transformed into a shortstop, a job he held in St. Paul before going to Pittsburgh. He was forced into this gap when Arnold Hauser broke down.
Chief Wilson, who has one of the best arms in baseball, at least he had that in Pittsburgh, will patrol a beat in right field, while Cozy Dolan, another Smoke-town importation, may break into the box score at third base in case G. Bostick Whitted’s arm is as sore as he thinks it is. Hank Robinson, the fifth member of the ex-Pirate club, will be on the bench to answer Hug’s beck and call.
The game will start precisely at 3 o’clock, weather and police permitting.
