TO RAID THE AMERICAN.
List of Ball Players the National Have
Eyes Upon.

New York, Sept 21.-The list of
American leaguers, not reserve jump
ers. who are wanted by the National
and have been offered good money to
join the older show next spring, is as
follows:
Athletics = Fultz, Seybold, Henry
Smith and Plank.
Baltimore-Nobody.
Boston-Parent, Mitchell and Winters.
ChicagO-Patterson and Hartman.
CleVeland-Moore, McNeal and Beck.
Detroit-EIberfeId. Miller and Siever
Milwaukee-Reidy, Conroy and Ma
loney.
Washington-I1ee and Patten.
OF this lot, it is said that Reidy and
Maloney have signed Milwaukee con-
tracts for next year Lee and Patten
are both wanted by Cincinnati. Jim
Hart has nipped Conroy. Three clubs
want Eaberfeld. ST. Louis is after
Moore and Roy Patterson can take his
choice of contracts if he wants to leave
Comiskey. Dutch Hartman can be set
down as a sure thing deserter. He
thinks he has been shortchanged in the
matter of salary, and is dead anxious
to go.
Conroy, the shortstop, taken by Jim
Hart, is not half as valuable a mann to
a team as Norman Elberfeld would be.
He is a light batter, and his only merit
is in a fielding sense, as the boy is
surely one of the best ground-coverers
in tie business.

West Of, and opening onto the parlor,
is the music room which contains the
grand $500 piano bought in Kansas City
and which the Kansas dealers think
should have been purchased in the
state The piano is of mahogany. The
music room is finished in sycamore,
with light greenish paper and carpet
The room is large. with a spacious bay
window on the north side The music
room, like several others, needs a few
more pictures on the wall, a bit Of bric-
a-brac there and a sconce or some thing
here but that viii all come with anoth-
CT appropriation
Across the hall from the music room
is the governors private office where he
sits behind a large. heavily brass tack
ed desk which looks just like a senator 5
desk There is only one other in town
and Eugene Hagan owns that Hagan
does not hope to sit behind a real sen
ator's desk but Governor Stanley does.
The private office room is finished in
black walnut and it, too, like the other
rooms needs few more furnishings.
Back of the private office is the din
ing room with its heavy, oak Daneled
ceiling and bronzed walls. 1t is han1-
some room. Back of all this is the
kitchen, a model in its way and with
every convenience that a cigarette
smoking French chef could ask for but
the cooking is not done by any import
ed talent but by q frst-class cOl0red
cook direct from Tennesseetown AIT

large hall facing east which makes a
very pleasant sitting room. 1t is finish
ed in oak and from the east windows

The TIMES CALL is GLAD to know that
an organization is being perfected to
build commodlous auditorium IN

Such building is very much need
ed and would be an important factor
IN helping to bring conventions OF
various kinds to cur city. There 10 no
place in the state where conventions
that meet in the spring and summer
would rather go than to "the City by

several thousand would be available ct
any time for local aft ai1s such as mass
meetings of citizens, political gather
ings, union gospel meetings. lyceam
lectures, school exhibitions, etc. 1t is
also the purpose of the Or2snizers to
arrange for ohsutaCq qua in Juhe or
July of next year. Places much Smaller
and less attractive than Brunswiok are
having these chautsuqua gatherings
annually and they attract Thousands of
visitors. The kind Of entertainment
they give are worth vsstly more to a
community than dozsns Of street fsirs,
oarnivals, etc.
The committee will go before the
next meetir G of the council aud ask for
ten or twenty year lease Of central
lot of the town commons.
An effort will also be made to enlist
