Poor Prospect for the Double Um-

CURRENT NOTES OF SPORT

The magnates Of the National League
were to begin their meeting at noon yes
terday in Philadelphia, but 1t was o'clock
before they were called to order by Presi-
dent Young. They remained in session
until near 6 O'Clock. discussing such topics
as the leagues relations to the minor
leagues. telegraphic privileges, the umpire
question and other minor matters. That
was the official end of the proceedings But
down in the corridors Of the Walton Hotel
a couple OF trades were pulled or and
dozens of propositions made
The Biggest Trade.
The biggest trade Of the day was ar
ranged between the Philadelphia and St.
Louis clubs. The Philadelphia club Sc
cures shortstop Monty Cross, Catcher
Douglass and Pitcher Donahue in exchange
for Jack Taylor, pitcher; Lave Cross, Glenn
ents and Dowd. This deal was discussed
in all its details by the base ball and news
paper men, and the almost universal YER
dict was arrived at that the st. Louis mag
nate came out on top. The Philadelphia
club needs a first-class Shortstop, but Cross
is far from being that sort of player. He
belongs to the spotty class. playing one
game in the most sensational style and in
the next two or three making blunders
that the poorest minor Lacquer would be
ashamed of. Dorahue is about the only
good man In the three. although Douglass,
by utilizing him at first base, may, per-
haps, strengthen one of the Phiilies' many
weak points. On the other hand Taylor
and Clements. not more than two years
back, were considered about the best men
in the two positions in the big league,
Rusie, of course. excepted. Lave Cross
season before last played third base in
such an exceptional style that he led the
league in that position with an average
very close to the 1000 per cent mark.
Tommy Dowd goes back to st. Louis,
where he has host of friends and where
his work was considered above the ordi-
nary. When Dowd arrived in Philadelphia
he found class of players and people that
proved his undoing. Back in the mound
city Tommy will no doubt get back in first
class form and play the ball that the Wash
ington people know he is capable of.
