Says the Wilmington Morning
Star: Manager Gwaltney has receiv
ed signed contracts from the follow
ing players, 8e,ven of which will be
remembered wih pride as our old
boys, true and. tried: Dick Smith,
manager and third baseman ; Klte,
catcher; Levy, Wysong, Barr, Wil
son, pitchers; Fox, first base; Shar
pie, second; McGehan, short; Doak,
Jays, Strease, Riley and Hlnes, out
fielders. Another catcher has also
been .signed buf his. name is with
held for various reasons.
. The new names on the roster are:
Barr, -.Wilsou, Fox, Sharpie, McGe
han, 'Riley, Hlnes and Strease. Barr
is a big fellow - from ' Philadelphia,
and Manager Smith thinks he will be
a star in this league. jted Wilson Is
a Wilmington boy. He left Wilming
ton two years ago1, since which time
he has been playing in fast semi-professional
company and he ought ' to
make good with a heady man . like
C1te to catch and coach him.
StreaBe, continues the Star, is an ex
' tra hard hitter and fast fielder. Fox
is another Philadelphia boy, and as
Smith eays, is a fast fielder : and
v hard hitter. Of Sharpie and McGe
- ban, the Star says that "this pair will
do the Gold Dust Twins act at second
an short as it was done by Sharp
'arid Rath .last year." Nothing is Bald
of Hlnes and Riley except that three
good hitters will be gotten out of the
live candidates for the outfield posi
tions. Hoey, thanks to the good
judgment of Mr. Gwaltney,. has been

are to be made at the pork including
a change in the entrance to the

ball park from the -street cars will
also be improved and patrons of the
games will not be compelled to pull
through sand shoe deep.
Raleigh seems to be pulling for
the young ones this time. Cr6zier's
latest addition is Rowe, who is catch
ing for Eton College. Rowe was re-
conynended by Hoffman, Elon's
coach, and showed up pretty well
down at Wake Forest in a" recent
game. But hasn't Raleigh had
enough experience with youngsters?

The Most Talked About
Pitcher
A special to a Philadelphia paper
a few days ago 'had the following to
say of Coveleskle, the great south
paw who was pitted against the Far
mers yesterday: -
Harry Coveleskle has started out
this season where he left off last
as the most talked about pitcher in
the country. His feat last Friday in
pitching an absolutely perfect game
against Trinity College stands out as
as the best twirling performance of
the season, and' proves that Harry
now has what he lacked a year ago
control. : Coveleskle has spoken of
his feat against Trinity only once to
my knowledge. This was after he
had read Saturday morning's papers,
when he Bald:
"Ge whiz, but the papers are mak
ing a lot of talk about that game up
at Durham." Then he suddenly
switched the subject and remarked:
"H've got a brother up home who
can pitch some. We call him Stanny.
He will be with Lancaster this year,.
Perhaps he hasn't got the curves and
the speed, and he's only eighteen
years old. All that he wants is ex
perience." And perhaps young Stanny Covel
eskle won't be watched by all the
league managers this year.
For a young man only 22 years of
age 'who has been so much talked
about as Harry Coveleskle has been
during the past five and one-half
months, the former breaker boy cer
tainly "bears his, honors modestly.
Always he is the first man in the
squad to seek 'the hay" at night and
the first but of it in the morning.
Early to Bod for Him.
At 9:30' every night Coveleskle re
retires. He is sleeping in the room
with Johnny Rudderham, the team's
trainer. At 6 o'clock in the morning
tfte pair get up, and if the weather is
good they go off on a tramp until
breakfast is ready at 8 o'clock. .
Johnny doesnt' pretend to know
anything about pitching, but he Is
Cbveleskie's equal ln the eating line.
The pair are always the first In the
dining room for every meal and the
players at their table say the waitress
has a standing order for each. It Is:

eagerness for a fray. Why
doesn't he accept one of the half
dozen or more challenges that have
been hurled in his face of late?
Here is what Stanley Ketchel has
to say or him:
"Of course I cannot talk. Talking
isn't my business, and, besides, talk
ing and matchmaking belong to man
agers and not to fighters. But you
can be sure that whatever Brltt says
I will do. Would I like to meet
Johnson? I certainly would. Do I
think Brltt would like the match?
Certainly. But Brltt will have to
talk for both myself and himself."
Take it from me, this Johnson is a
fourflusher, and when the time comes
the ring will have to be flushed with
water to carry off the blood and
other stuff that Jeff's hard punches
will draw from his system. Amen!
in the Country
"Bring it in, and bring lots of it."
The pair makes an Ideal partnership.
Neither does much talking, but each
always has a good-natured grin on
Tiis face. When spoken to Coveles-
kie's face breaks out into a laugh, as
though- he never had a care in the
world.'
Modesty comes natural to him. He
is usually to be found in a far corner
of the room reading a newspaper in
stead of standing up under a strong
light with his chest thrown out where
he cant' be missed by persons passing
by. '-.""
If Coveleskle were to talk about
his twirling feats' he would undoubt
edly give the credit to Charlie Dooin.
Harry has implicit faith in his
catcher and this battery promises to
be one of the most talked of In the
history of the game before the pres
ent season is over. -
Coveleskle always pitches the kind
of ball that Dooin signals for. He
has sense enough to know that Dooin
has been in the game longer' than he
has and that Charlie's ideas are more
certain to be' right than his own.
The manner in which Covelskie
bears his honors is shown by an inci
dent here last Saturday. It is doubt
ful If any other athlete In the coun
try was more talked of that day than
the former breaker boy. On Friday
Harry pitched a perfect game of ball.
On Saturday he was chasing foul
-flies during the game between
the
Phillies and A. & M. College.

OPPOSED TO TEA TAX.
President Is Opposed to Any Tux on
Tea and to Countervailing Tax .
on Coffee.'
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, March 29 The
Hearst News Service is authorized to
' say that President Taft is opposed to
' any tax on tea, and to a countervail
ing tax on coffee and that lie opposed
to any tax directly affecting poor
, people or to any so-called breakfast
table tax. The President has learn
ed that an eight or nine cent tax on
tea would. only net about $8,000,000
a year and he thinks this could eas
ily be made up In some other direc
tion. He prefers an income tax or a
stamp tax to one taxing commodities.
I ' John Barrett, the director of the
i Bureau-of American republics, sub
mltted to the president today data
bearing on the attitude of South
'"American countries with respect to
the Payne tariff bill. He assured the
president that no tax on coffee would
cause Brazil to take off the export
tax, as It la fhe principal revenue off
the country and the government's fi
nances depend on It. The great bulk
of coffee shipped to the United States
comes from Brazil.
