Theo. H. Davies & Co. has in the list
OF its employees quite a number of crick-

are some baseball players among the
number, but their wild swings OF the

The complaint all along has been
that there have been no teams in town

hence the much desired practice was
not obtained regularly. The complaint

WILL 1T BE ANsON:
Chronicle Insists He'll Be Western
Lacquer.


The Chicago Chronicle still processes to be-
lieve that Adrian Constantine Arson will be
found in the Western league next year. and
that a special meeting thereof will be called
when he returns from Europe. 1t quotes the
following dialogue with President Johnson:
what is to become of this eighth club
franchise?" he was asked.
How would you like to Anson at the
head of it?' was his interrogatory reply that
appeared tc have plenty of meaning hidden
beneath II.
President Johnson also announced a brand
new venture. He purposes meeting the mag
mates of the Eastern league in January TO
complete arrangements for championship
series of games at the end of next year $
leagues. This, he AYERS. is his sole object in
telegraphing for a special Buffalo meeting
not to consider the drafting question.
It is planned that series of seven games
be scheduled. The first three of these will be
played in the championship Eastern city,
Western league city that captures the PEN
nant. In the event of tie the seventh and
deciding contest would take place on neutral
grounds.
This was the contents of that telegram
sent down to the Eastern league a couple of
days ago. President Johnson said THE
statement that it concerned the subject of
the drafting of players, as 1 read in the East
ern dispatches this morning is all nonsense.
You see when we wind up q season cranks
rather like to have some sort of an after
attraction, and this, it seems to me, will
make a good drawing card"

CoMIskEY,s BOSTON SUIT.
1t May Cause Rupture Between
Western and NntionaI

Referring to Manager Comiskey's suit against
the Boston club to recover 1925 salary paid
by Comskey to Outfelder Slagel, the Chicago
Tribune of Sunday said:
1.-THE significance Of the suit is the bear
ing it may have on the relations between
the National league and the minor leagues.
Comiskey claims that he was treated most
unfairly in the slagel case, so much so that
even in the interest of base ball he cannot,
in justice to himself, allow the inaction of
the National board in this case to go un-
noticed. He thinks there Is absolutely no
question that a court of justice will decide
in his favor, and that one Of two things
must follow-either the Boston club must
reimburse him for the salary he paid the
''MIr. Comiskey showed a letter from Selee,
which stipulated that Slagel was to be re-
leased to Comiskey upon the deposit by the
latter with President N E. Young of
check for $425. Comiskey sent on the check
to Mr.. Young who acknowledged the receipt
of 1t. 1t looks very much to an outsider as
If these two bits of evidence would be entire
ly sufficient in themselves to win Comiskey's
case for him.
"Since his affilation with the brotherhood
cause there has been nothing in Comiskey's
action to warrant placing him among those
who are prone to rebel against the alleged
restrictions of the national agreement He
has always been conservative in his views
this subject in the Western league The
chances are the Boston club will attempt to
punish the minor Lacquer for taking his case
into court, that being one of the unpardona
BILE sins against base ball etiquette. Com
iskey's suit will not tend to make the re-
lations between the major and minor leagues
any more amicable, nor will it help the adop-
tion by the minors of the clauses recon-
mended at the recent Philadelphia meeting
