BASE BALL NOTES.
Abbreviated Pointers About the Lea.
CUES and the Players.


. The Texas league is making plans
for expansion next season. 1t is said
that Ted Sullivan is engineering a deal
to take in Galveston and Houston.
1t is rumored that the Boston trio.
Soden, Conant and Billings, are to sell
cut their interests to their sons, three
young and popular men in the cultured
district.
President Johnson is in the east for
the present. He is enjoying the merry
click of the turnstiles that tell him of
the most successful season base ball
has experienced in years.
The Boston Nationals may strength
en- until the COWS come home and they
may gather together a better team
than Jimmy Collins has, but the fact
remains the crowd is with Collins.
In Frank Chance Selee has a splen-
did first baseman and a good batter,
while he is in the game. But the diff
Guilty is in keeping him in. He is m
of the most unlucky players in the
business.
Besides Jack O'Connor it looks as
though Tannehill and Chesbro, of the
Pittsburg team, will be found in the
American league next year. Neither of
these men have agreed to give Drey-
fuss his services for 1903 as yet.
Denver people have run away with
the funny idea that games in the West
ern league are fixed. Denver has a
good team, but it has been up against
it, dropping them here and there when
it would seem as though they should
win.
A story coming from Lajoie at Bos-
ton is to the effect that he was offered
a 500 900 contract for two years with
the New Yorks by McGraw. Larry
says there isn't money enough in New
York to make him break his contract
with Cleveland.
Wall. released by McGraw from the
New York team, has received notice
from Ned Hanlon to join his Trolley
Dodgers at Pittsburg. Ned is in ore
need of players, and he may be able to
make something out of the McGraw
castoff.
Selee's Cubs are drawing about as
heavily as Shettsline's Quakers were
during the latter recent home series.
The Cubs have dropped every one of
the home series and are rapidly head
ing for the second division in that Ma
tional league walkover.
1t is said that when Jones was sus-
pended by New York for attacking
Umpire Emslie and later Joined the
Toronto Eastern league team, it was
with the consent of the New York
team, which still has a line on him and
will use him next season.
Big Ed Greminger, the man of whom
so many pretty things were said at the
beginning of the season, is receiving
some pretty severe pumps from the
Boston papers. Ed isn't making so
many home runs and -three-cornered
drives as he was earlier in the game.
The ace in the American is a on
test between teams and sections, with
Boston and Philadelphia in the east
and Chicago and st. Louis in the west,
all first place possibilities. although it
must be admitted that the Athletics
have the inside track at the present.
Gene De Montreville is liable to re-
ceive a large and juicy increase in sal
airy next season. The Boston Nationals
are at him night and day to sign with
them, but Gene isn't in any hurry. He
has played splendid ball this season,
and his services will be in great de-
mand before the opening Of another
season.
1t is said that Comiskey is after
Leach and Wagner, of the Pirates.
These two players would be great
strengtheners TO the outfit that Com
iskey mas already signed for next sea
son, as both are leading players in
their positions and can lace the ball
with a great degree of consistency.
