Manager Mullatiay. «f tt»*» Montgomery team, has reinstated Bohwartz. bla atnr *®c* on<l Itnaeiunn. who hna Iraen under napeu* felon, nnd haa released Hlukimin, •who hna been playing second Irate. This puts an end to Manager Smith s deni for the Montgomery IlilleJder. Manager Sndth has had wires-out for DcArmowl of late, hut has not landed him yet, nor are the prospects very good. The report that Iturimiii had Iraon signed l»y Manager.Mullaney proved erronotta. "I have not signed Iturnnm. though I way," said Manager Mullaney. "I don't think be Is In shape, or I would land him. I am out for another pitcher nnd may get one Irafore I return home. Burnum came to me and asked mo to give him u trial,, which I said 1 would do, although I told tilm f would not sign him until he showed me tluitlie tfiraln shape to play trail. And I don't think he Is (u shape. Ho 1 guess that deal w*lll not go through." The Cordele management Is after fleorgo Stinson, the outfielder released by Manager Smith.
