The First Practice Game. "Shorty" Fuller, Killeen and "Dan" Green were the three "Ponies" who showed up at Hampden park for the first time yesterday. Manager "Tom" had enough men to pick two teams from, and the lads were put through their paces and showed up remarkably well. The cranks are taking a hopeful view of the prospects of the season, and are beginning already to bank on some of Burns's finds. The players who have not yet reported are McDougal, "Bert" Inks, Lee, Adams and Woods.

THEY COULDN'T FIND DOLAN, BUT WOODS WAS EASY FOR THEM, SO IT WAS EVEN AT BUFFALO. The "Bisons" Got Sweet Revenge on "Wallie" at Last—Some Lively Eastern League Games. THE "BISONS" broke even with Springfield in the two games played here to-day. The first game was lost by the home team owing chiefly to the inability of the players to connect with Dolan's delivery at times when hits would have counted, while on the other hand, "Farmer" Brown was an easy mark for the visitors. He gave a yellow exhibition of pitching, and after the second inning the Springfield lads found no difficulty in landing on the ball at will. The visitors began their run getting in the third in this way: Dolan banged a hard one to left for a single. Fuller flied to Gray, after which Green sent a slashing double to the left fence, sending in Dolan. Woods then sent a sharp one at Greminger, which "Ed" fumbled and Green ran to third. "Sam" Wise made a poor attempt to field Brouthers's grounder and "Dan" was safe, Green scoring on the mistake and Woods getting to third, from which sack he went home on Rogers's demise at first. Sullivan retired Gilbert to Field. This gave Springfield a lead of three. Two more were scored by Burns's men in the fifth. Woods singled and took second on Greminger's error, scoring a moment later on a grand single by "Big Dan." A wild pitch sent Brouthers to second, and he took third on Rogers's out and scored when Gilbert went out on a grounder to Field. The Springfields got their last two runs in the seventh on Greminger's rank throw of Woods's grounder and Brouthers's home run. Buffalo scored one run in the fourth on hits by Gilboy, Wise and Greminger and Rogers's fumble of Field's grounder. In the eighth they scored another on singles by Gray, Gilboy and a bad fumble and throw by Rogers. The score: Springf'd. r b po a e Fuller, s. 0 2 2 7 0 Green, l. 1 2 1 0 0 Woods, r. 3 1 1 1 0 Brouth's, l. 2 2 13 0 1 Rogers, 2. 0 0 4 3 2 Gilbert, 3. 0 1 3 4 0 Smith, m. 0 2 1 0 0 Duncan, c. 0 0 2 1 0 Dolan, p. 1 1 0 1 0 Total. 7 11 27 17 3 Buffalo. r b po a e Clymer, m. 0 0 0 0 0 Grey, r. 1 2 3 0 0 Gilboy, l. 0 3 1 0 0 Wise, 2. 1 1 4 3 1 Gre'ger, 3. 0 1 2 5 3 Field, l. 0 0 11 0 0 Sullivan, s. 0 0 4 1 0 Urquh't, c. 0 0 2 0 0 Brown, p. 0 0 0 3 0 Barry,* 0 0 0 0 0 Total. 2 7 27 12 4 Springfield. 0 0 3 0 2 0 2 0 0—7 Buffalo. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0—2 Times at bat, Springfield 40, Buffalo 34.

The Buffalo boys were called down by Manager Rowe for their rank work in the first game, and as a result they played with renewed energy in the second game and won it. Souders was at his best and was backed by great stick work and splendid fielding, while on the other hand the "Bisons" found Woods pretty easy picking. Buffalo made four in the first inning. Clymer hit safely and took third on Grey's double. Gilboy was an easy out at first and Wise lined and Grey took third on Nichols's error, Clymer scoring. Greminger followed with a home run, sending in the other two before him. Singles by Field and Sullivan and a sacrifice hit by Zahner gave the "Bisons" another in the third and two more were counted up for Buffalo in the sixth. Barry replaced Clymer, who took sick, and singled. He went to second on a fumble by Brouthers off Grey's grounder and scored on Gilboy's hit. Wise then hit to Brouthers and Grey counted. In the seventh the home team batted hard, and this, with errors of the other side, gave Buffalo four additional runs. Fuller's error gave Sullivan a life, Zahner hit safe, putting Sullivan on third. Souders singled, Sullivan counting. Clymer fanned out. Gray was an easy out at first, and Gilboy cracked out a double that sent Zahner and Souders home. Gilboy scored on a bad fumble by Gilbert and a wide throw by Rogers.

Dan Green, of Tom Burns' Orphans, hails from Camden—across the Delaware—and he was presented with a gold watch during the Chicago-Philadelphia series. Camden was the home of the Merritts, a once famous Jersey organization.

Danny Green Breaks Down. CHICAGO, July 31.—Danny Green, an ex-outfielder of the Chicago National League Club, and later of the Chicago Americans, who has been in poor health for the last two years, is seriously ill here.

DANNY GREEN IS ILL AT CHICAGO CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—Friends and admirers of Danny Green, for years an idol at the West and South Side ball parks, will be grieved to learn that he is confined in the Cook county infirmary at Oak Forest and that hope of his getting better has been given up. Tuberculosis is Danny's complaint. He has been ill for two years, but it was not until a month ago that he gave up and yielded to his friends' pleading that he go to a hospital. Green first won a place in the hearts of Chicagoans by his work as an out-fielder on the West Side team when Bill Lange, Dahlen, Callahan and Griffith were members of the club. He was fast on his feet and a dangerous hitter. When the baseball was started Danny jumped from the West to the South Side and took a regular job in the White Sox outfield. Later he went to Milwaukee and when his league days were over played on semi-pro teams here.

Baseball Briefs. New Haven at League park this afternoon. Montreal has won six double-headers this season, and all on Saturdays. Outfielder Carrigan of the Washington State league has been bought by the White Sox. Pitcher Cole of Pittsburg has been indefinitely suspended for not taking the proper care of himself. The White Sox have taken up a collection for Danny Green. They are talking of playing a benefit game for Green.

Danny Green. Danny Green is dying of consumption at his home Near the old West Side arena in Chicago, Illinois, And the plaudits of the multitude will ring upon the dome That hung above the outfield when Old Danny was a boy. They used to call 'em Orphans and they used to call 'em Colts, But the National Chicagos are the Cubs in present day; And many an old timer of the bleacher tribe revolts When you say that they are faster than when Danny used to play. He covered, in the outfield, all the territory then, That could any modern marvel that the baseball world has seen; And we hope those ancient plaudits will be ringing to him when They have to call the game upon "Chicago Danny" Green.

BALL SOFTENED HIS BRAIN. "Danny" Green, former White Sox who a decade ago ranked with the leading outfielders in the major league, is now an inmate of the Camden County Hospital, Blackwood, N. J. Green was struck on the head with a pitched ball in a game in 1912 and for several days his life was in despair. When he did recover consciousness softening of the brain and partial paralysis of the lower limbs set in. He is a mental wreck.

DANNY GREEN INSANE. Springfield Favorite Never Recovered From Being Hit With Ball. Edward Danny Green, a great favorite as a member of the Springfield team of the old Eastern league days and later one of the leading outfielders in the major leagues, is now an inmate of the Camden county hospital, Blackwood, N. J. Danny is a mental wreck. His condition is traced to an accident received in the summer of 1912 while a member of the Des Moines club of the Western league. Green was struck in the head with a pitched ball in a game and for several days his life was in danger. When he did recover consciousness, softening of the brain and partial paralysis of the lower limbs set in. Green's son, Edward, Jr., now 16, was with him and the pair went to Chicago, where the sympathy of Jim Callahan, the stricken ball player's old outfield mate, was enlisted. Callahan proved the right kind of friend, for he had Danny sent to the Cook county institution for the feeble-minded. Then he sent the son to a boarding school, paying the tuition out of his own pocket. The boy is still there. Green's wife is dead, but his mother and sister, who live in Camden, were notified of the ball player's predicament. Lately the mother and sister decided that they would like to have Danny nearby, where they could visit him; and a fund was raised by friends in Camden to defray his expenses from Chicago to his home town. Green has seen 13 years of service on the diamond. He was born and raised in Camden and was a member of the famous Mudhens. On the team with Danny were Widow Conroy and Harry Gleason, brother of Kid Gleason, who also won fame in the big leagues. Green was very popular with the old guard on the Athletic team. Men like Harry Davis, Dan Murphy, Eddie Plank and Chief Bender are numbered among his friends. Shortly after his accident, while Jim Callahan was arranging to have him placed in a hospital, Green sat on the Athletics' bench in a game in Chicago with the White Sox. He was only a shell of his old self and looked at the battle in a dazed manner. When the Athletics went to the clubhouse after the game the hat was passed and a sum raised for the unfortunate player.

DANNY GREEN DEAD Former Member of White Sox Dies After Long Illness For many years famous as a member of the White Sox, Danny Green died at the Camden County Hospital at Blackwood Sunday after being ill for a long period. Several years ago he was struck on the head by a pitched ball while a member of the Minneapolis team. He was badly injured and later paralysis developed, which affected his mind. For a long period he was confined in a sanatorium at Forest Hills, near Chicago, when two Camden friends, Wright Cox and Albert Keaser, learned of his plight. They brought him East to Camden and had him cared for at the hospital. During his early career Green played ball in Camden and became such an adept that he went with the Springfield Mass. team, his first professional engagement. Later he joined the Chicago Nationals, remaining four years. After a year spent with the minors he was signed by the Chicago Americans, where he remained five years, or until he went to Minneapolis. Green was a close acquaintance of "Jimmy" Callahan, manager of the White Sox; Charles Comiskey and Ed Walsh, the famous pitcher. Callahan is said to possess Green's insurance papers and an effort is being made to locate him to apprise him of Danny's death.
