National Leagues Corral
72 Rookies Start Out;
Pirates Take 14 Men
NEW YORK, Feb. 12— National
League clubs have corraled an aggre
gation of 72 rookies for spring train
ing trials, according to official data
on this subject gathered at National
League headquarters here. This ar
ray is considerably below last year’s
total, when about 100 joined the
Southern caravans, but it includes
some of the brightest prospects of
many years.
Pittsburgh, which developed a sen
sational group of youngsters last sea
son, has combed the minors for addi
tional talent with the result that the
Pirates have 14 new men on their
list, more than any other club. Chi
cago and Boston come next with elev
en each. Philadelphia has nine, St.
Louis, Brooklyn and Cincinnati seven
each, while the champion New York
Giants come last with only six.
Thirty-nine of the total array are
budding moundsmen. Texas League
proved the most popular recruiting
ground with 12 entries for the 1925
big show. The Southern Association
furnished eight, the Pacific Coast Lea
gue seven, the Virginia League five
and the Western League four. The
International League furnished only
one. This circuit was last in the 1924
list and also had fewer big league
rookies on option than any other im
portant minor league. Four college
men also are included in the new
talent.
Following is the complete official
list, of new players:
Boston
Catchers—Fred Schiller, a semi-pro
from St. Louis. Oscar Seimer from
Worcester, spent most of last season

Fame of Hollywood Lures
Immigrants from All Lands
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Feb. 12.—
The motion picture studio lure, which
annually entices to Hollywood thou
sands of persons of all ages, each
nursing hope of a screen career, is
not confined to the United States,
but has spread to other parts of the
world, according to James McPher
son, chief inspector of the Ellis Isl
and immigration station in New York.
He has been visiting here.
Two questions, “How far is it to
Hollywood?” and “How can I get in
, to the movies?” are asked constantly
by immigrants entering the United
States through Ellis Island, McPher
son said.
“Whether they come from Poland,
Italy, Germany or France, they seem
to have heard of the wealth and
fame earned by those who have suc
ceeded in the picture prdoucing bus
iness.”
