Cl,A MUX REPORTS
SHIFT IX INFIELD
jS'ew .Man is Clouting the Hall—,
Shaw May Cover Shortstop
aud Clayton Second
Base.
By T. i*. Bonnet MU*. '
Although the season Is far advanc
ed and the tioits have no possible
chance of finishing In either first or
second position. Owner Bradley is still
endeavoring to strengthen the club, ■
and is not sparing expense in the ef- I
fort. t
The latest addition to the team and .
one that will be pleasing to the local
fans is Big 8am Edmondson, the
sopthpaw who Joined the Colts in the
middle of last season and finished up
strong. Edmonds- ft is now in Kicn
mond and will Join the Colts when
they return home Thursday.
The twlrler was sold to Trenton
last year, and has made a good re
cord with that club all season, doing
his full share of the work and win
ning a good percentage of his games. [
It was through the Work of Edmond
son and one other twlrler that the
Trenton club was said to have the
liest pitching staff in the Trlstate
League.
Owner Bradley and Manager George
Jleckert, of the Trenton club, have
been negotiating for some time over
the sate of the twlrler. Heckert was
not anxious to let the pitcher go. but
in* local owner warned mm unfit in
order to make a good fight for posi
tton in the closing games of the sea
son.
The negotiations were closed Tues
day and Edmondson comes hi A pnder
a regular contract anil Is the full
property of the Colts. He will be put
to *vork at once, and will work In
one of the games here this week with
the Danville Mugs.
Besides being a good t wirier. Ed
mondson is a hard hitter and is a ca
pable outfielder.' The Colts have long
been In need of a twtrler who could
hit the ball and who could be depend
ed to play the outfield If needed.
The addition of Edmondson gives the
Colts five t»triers, and It will be nec
essary to let one of them go. It will
be a hard matter for Lawlor to make
the choice, since all of the pitchers
seem to be going about alike.
V'erbout has had a slump of late,
but even then he is going better than
lievelle. who has not won a game for
tome time. The Dutchman has not
shown much form since the announce
ment of his sale to the Yankees, and
his effectiveness, even with the teams
who in the earlier part of the season
eould not touch him, seema to have
vanished.
Morrissey and Salve are going bet
ter than the others at present, and
it would hardly be adviaable for the
manager to release either of them.
-They cannot be sold at this time, but
any of the local twtriers could easily
i*e farmed out for the rest of the sea
son. If Edmondson stays, this is what
w 111 be done, and one of the staff will
go to the Carolines.
Zena Clayton, the new outfielder
seiured from the Tienton Club of the
day and reported to owner Bradley.
'I he new man looks good and It Is
cvpec.ed that he will add considerable
sinugih to the club.
Clayton says that Hooper was to
come down here and that Trenton
vtas to keep him at shortstop but that
when the other tefused to come. Man
ager Heckert had sent him. Toe taut
that the Trenton manager deelred to
keep the player Indicates that he la
good enough tor the Colts,
Clayton has been clouting the t>all
this season and was hitting at a .£116
dip when he left. if he can keep
this up in the Virginia League he will
indeed be of value to the local club.
With the addition of Clatjon it Is
likely that Manager Lawlor will make
a change In the position* of some of
the players in the infield.
The shift will probably affact
Johnny Shaw. who does not like his
position at second base and will do
much better elsewhere. It is moat
likely thit Shaw will be shifted to
shortstop and Clayton put In at sec- :
ond. It is said that the new man is
capable of putting up a good game at
aecond and It is thought that he will
be of more value there than Shaw. At
the same time Shaw will doubt tees be
able to cover short in good fashion.
The other two infield positions will re
main the same as at present..
Regardless of all the kicking that ;
ha* been don* of late by the arbiter*
over the salary question, it la stated
with authority that they have been
paid up in full and that at this time
there is nothin* < wming to them.
The arblera get the pay. aa do th*
players, on th* brat and fifteenth of
every month. Their remittance* were
a few days lute this month and they
did not get the cash on the fifteenth.
When the checks did not show up on
the exact moment they raised a howl.
This la the way it ia explained by
. those in authority.
