 Those in close touch with affairs of the American league have said that if there is any worrying going on it is not being done by them and a telling move on their part next fall is pro- phesied Report also has it that Hart is to be the next president of the Ma tional league with Hanlon to sgo to dnQ ldhe CAdISC O1 Alhe tSoAAA there.s Hanlon, however, not long ago. declared he was not going west.

 The Boston team of the American league, generally supposed to be sec ond only to Chicago in class and play ing, speed, will stick firm to Ban Johnson when the issue comes between the president and Muggsy McGraw. We are we'll satisfied with the conduct of affairs in the American, league said Manager James Collins yesterday. StIn fact I may say that Boston has few kicks coming. Our team has proven a success and money maker. Now, with these facts in mind, whom can we thank for the fact that we are where we are? McGraw? Not that I can see. Ban Johnson did great mis- sionary work in Boston and we rec ognize Johnson as the cause of our organization and hence our success. l regard MT McGraw very highly as a player and manager and I hardly think he is anything of traitor. He is prob | ably a bit disgruntled, but if his team gets up nearer the front that will die away"
 The report that Brooklyn will be dropped from, the National league cir cult and Washington taken in instead is still a matter for discussion Hanlon and Charles Ebbetts, the Brooklyn president, have made frequent and vigorous denial that such thing is on the tapis, pointing for one thing to the fact that the rivalry between the | New York and Brooklyn teams is a good thing for the game. It is also said that the American league is about ready to give up the ghost-that it is losing money in several cities and that McGraw and the American league pro moters are at loggerheads. The belief is advanced that if the American league does throw up the sponge Brooklyn is to go, into the Eastern league. with Manning of Washington or McGraw in charge. One reason as signed for the reported withdrawal o1 Brooklyn. from the big league is tha1 Freedman has so sdecreed. There iy talk of Hanlon taking charge of the NEashingtons or possibly the New
 Yorks, if Brooklyn is dropped.
