Just before the International Base- ball' League blew up in New York, James MeCaffrey, the Toronto presi- dent, realized that his city would have a team this year and that with the sale of players announced" dur- ing the winter some new talent was needed. B President MeCaffery had a confer- ence with Sam Lichtenhein, of Mont- real, and put a deal through for sev- eral players, Sam has retired from the summer game and has no further use for hired men. Hersche, who went on the barn-storming trip with the champion Torontos last fall, is one of the men secured. Hersche is a reliable pitcher. Reid Holden is number two secured and Herbie Mo- ran, formerly an outfielder with the Boston Braves, will also wear a Leaf uniform. Slattery, the first-sacker, and Purtell, the infielder, were the last to be secured. These men will go a long way towards rounding out a team for the local club. Some big league cast-offs will be found in Toronto and the Leafs will be ready- for action when the league opens about the 1st of May. President McCaffrey. will stay in New York until the new league meets on Wednesday. Bill. O'Hara, the ex- Leaf, has turned down the offer to manage the club, GOWDY 1S POPULAR.

That Larry Lajoie will not be with the Toronto Club in a manager- fal capacity this summer is a matter of regret for most of the fans. The whole trouble has arisen out of the uncertainty of the operation of the International League, and Lajoie's misconception of the application of a rule governing a player of his status. The majgr rule refers to players who afte ten years' service in the majors can- be declared free agents should they so desire. La- jole, having spent ten years in the majors, was able to secure his own position with Toronto, but as that was with a minor league lub, and as he signed a player's contract, he is under baseball law still the property of this club.
