Deacon McGuire'S defense of his repre-
henslble action is as weak as his ideas Of
rlSnt and wrong. He admits signing with
the brooklyn club, but saws that he
promised the owners of the Detroit club
IN the last playing season that he wOul6
sign with them this year. He tries to
excuse his action in signing with Brook
lyn after that by saying that changes
IN the management of the Detroit club
MADE him uncertain just where he was

says Pat Donovan: The report that
McGraW will not be able to play this
season is all bosh in my estimation. The
real truth of the matter is that Johnnie
slipped while catching a GALL on the
lawn in front of the Arlington hotel,
Hot Springs, and Slightly sprained his

it down that McGraw will be back in

Harper is to be enjoined, if possible,
by the RobisOns from playing with the
ST Louis Americans. Harper signed
before he did business with McAleer, =
declared Donovan. HE was always well
treated by Mr.. Robson, and l must say
that his course is one of ingrat1tude. His
salary was raised three times last year
without solicitation, and when we asked
him to sign it didn't take him but few
moments to make up his mind. He de-
cIared that as long as he played base
ball he would like to work for Mr.. RObl-
son, and the next thing we heard was
that he had deserted

Jimmie Manning, owner of the Kansas

blew into Washington and Immediately
began dealing out dope to the sP0rtIns
writer's there. He said that he Was II
Kansas City to stay and would not de
sert this time as he once ola. lie alS(
let out the startling information that he
was building a $4,000 grandstand IN Kan
sas City. Someone should Immediately
get out search warrant for this magni'
ficent structure. A Jackson county farm
or who arrived from the East yesterday
reported that several days ago he passed
what looked like it might be a ball park
and that a bleacher about as long as the
distance between two bases mad peer
erected. Jimmie should tell some of the
local fans about this $lo,OUV grandstanu.-

When the grandstand at McAleer's st

have cost the association about $4,000

The American association Will pay out
more money this season to players thar

quality and the fans will show their ap-

William Maloney, catcher and fielder OF
the Milwaukee nine last year, was mar
ried yesterday to Miss Theresa Brennan
at ST. Mary's church in North Attleboro
Mass. The couple left for Lewiston. Me-.
and will go to ST Louis, where Maloney
will join the club in that city.
The Denver papers are agitating the
question Of prices. All other cities in
the Western league charge but % cents
and it is deemed unfair to stick the rate
up as they have threatened to do. Den
yer is good baseball town, but the great
distance which team must travel to
play there handcaps them, and the
chances are that the fans will have to
stand for the "extortiOn" or do without
