"Old Reliable James Mcclure, the ex-
senatorial catcher. dropped into Washing

home and reported to Manager Hanlon of
the Brooklyn club. a majority of which ag

spring training grounds over the Southern

older than. when he first came to Washing
ton and is evidently good for several years
yet. His condition this spring Is some
thing remarkable, and he could get into
game tomorrow and give a good account
of himself. In speaking of the present
base ball situation, Mcclure had good
word for everybody and predicted a good
season for Manager Manning, as he said
this city is one of the best in the country.
James could have been with an American
League club this season had he so desired,
but, like Farrell, he has been with the Ma
tional League so long that he disliked cut

the other eX-Senators who also reported to
Manager Hanlon today. Nothing is known
of Outfelder Sheckard, about whom there
is a great controversy as to where he will
play, but Manager Hanlon is confident he
will report at the southern training grounds

ALLEGED OFFER TO sOMERs.

Report That National League Has
Been Offering Inducements to Quit.
The Boston National League triumvirs
are said to have attempted a coup that
might have disrupted the American Base
Ball League had 1t been consummated.
That is the sensational story Of the hour
in base ball circles. says the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald. After the report of the success
of Boston in capturing the desertinE player,
Pitcher Dineen. and leading him out of the
American League corral, almost anything
in the way of sensational base ball report
may be expected from the hub. In brief,
it is said that the major league men, Pres
ident Soden of the Boston club and his as
sociates, Conant and Billings, offered Vice
President C. III. Somers of the American
League. and holder of the Boston franchise
in that organization, $450,0OO and a fran
chise in the National League for 1902 II he
would desert the American League, aban-
don his Boston interests, stop work on the
new grounds at Boston and cease to be a
rival to the National League. 1t is said on
good authority that the Boston triumyirs
offered Mr.. somers the Philadelphia fran
chise In their league next season part OF
the offer for his abandoning the fight.
Mr.. Somers last year was an enthusiastic
promoter of the American League at Cleve-
land. This season he felt that the league
could wage a successful war against the
National League and took the Boston fran
chise. made inroads on the hub team, cap
tured Jimmy Collins for his manager and
added some stars to his list IF players.
But when the schedule of the American
League, as prepared by President johnson,
was presented at the Philadelphia meeting,
1t showed that Mr.. Somers club would be
In conflict with the Soden-Conant Billings
club more than twenty times during the
season. This alarmed the American Leasue
magnate. and he tried his hand at making
schedule that would not be so prolific In
conflicting dates. He failed. and In disgust
agreed to the adoption Of Mr.. Joi,ns0n's 8
schedule Then Mr. Somers returned to
Cleveland
subsequently he was informed that the
Natfonal League had induced Pitcher Di-
neen to break away from him hv an ofrar
or *l,oe0 bonus. He feared, the story goes,
tnat other players he had signed with the
AID OF Manager Collins and the assistance
Evening star., 1901-04-02
of Manager Hugh Duffy Of Milwaukees

of Manager Hugh Duffy Of Milwaukee's S
club would break away.
1t is said that Mr.. Somers lost no time
in publicly declaring his loss of faith in
the enterprise and doubt of the success
of the Boston venture of the American
League. That Mr.. Somers talked a great
deal in this strain was a matter of COM
mon report from the hub. 1t was also
he bore no enmity to the National League
room in Boston for two rival base ball
clubs without actual hostilities.
A report reached the ears of President
Johnson of the expanded league, it is said,
that Mr.. SomerS had been approached
by the National League schemers. That
President Johnson had heard some start
ling news was inferred from the fact of
his sudden departure from Chicago three
hours after his return from the east and
Cincinnati
The story is that Mr.. Johnson went to see
Mr.. Somers at Cleveland, stopping long
enough at Detroit to confer with the Amer
lean League men there to divert suspicion
from his sudden trip, and that he impress
ed the vice president of the league with
the absolute Importance of keeping a stiff
upper lip in this fight the National
League.
Il know nothing about this particular
story" said a National League man in
Chicago yesterday, "and cannot discuss
it. There may be many such stories before
long. If Mr.. Somers is not weakening now
he may get very weak later on in the
season."

the reason that the National League had

the original schedule. 1t was simply i'm

One Of the rumors which Is persiStently
bobbing up is that the American League is
seeking to weaken the Cincinnati and st.
Louis clubs in order to get the National
into disrepute in those cities. and then next
fall place teams In both towns. There Is
no foundation for such a story, as every
magnate in both leagues Is concerned with
the coming season and is not losing sleep
over 1902 There may be the biggest re-
organization base ball has experienced be-
fore the snow files next fall.
Never before in the history of base ball
has there been such a hurrying to and fro
among the managers and club presidents
as there is just at the present time. Per-
haps the nearest approach to 1t was when
back in the sos there was specified time,
late in the fall, at which players could be
for engagements the next sea-
son; but even then the rush for desirable
men was not comparable with the present
competition between the National and
American leagues to fill their teams with
the best of the players who are as yet not
signed for next year.

RebuiIdinN the BIeacher.,

Superintendent Darby had big force at
work on the new base ball park this morn
ing. The right field bleacher seats were
completely razed last evening and the re-
building began this morning The back
uprights will be six feet higher. which will
give each seat rise of twelve inches in
stead of six as originally determined upon.
This six-inch rise is upon the line of the
Baltimore seats, and is not enough to give
the occupants a clear view of the field.
Manager Manning decided at once, as he
was building the stands for ten years, to
have them right at the start and to make
"doubly sure" made the rise twelve inches
Mr.. Manning has always taken particular
pains to look after his bleacher patrons.

 Sydney Goetter. proprietor of the store, said yesterday that last week when it became evident that there would be q shortage of small change in the down suburban stores to gather iu all of the copper;, nickeis and dimes they could find The smaller stores of the suburbs were secured for change, and still there was not enough to meet the drma nd.
 MT. Goetter tells of one astute young ste: whom he had commissioned to get change. The boy was provided with several s1o and $20 bills. The suburban storekceper7 soon got on to- the schcms of the bis department store. Then they declined absolutely to give out any more change. The astuto messenger began tC think. He evolved a scheme and from the viewpoint of his employer it worked like a charm. The NounGStCr returned to the department store loaded down with change which he laid upon his cm- ploYcrs desk. Then he dVed into hi. overcoat pocket and brought out dozens of packages of cigarettes, which he sol cmnlN laid alongside the change.
 "Cigdrettos? inquired MT. Goctter why the cigarettcs?"
 "Theyre yours. Mir. Goetter,' replied tho faithful youngster. 'l natter buy 'em tu git the change. See"
