SOUTHERN PACIFIC SCARED.
Will Rush the $3o,ooO,oOo of I'm
provements to Completion.

Orders have been given by the man
agement Of the Southern Pacific to
hasten the completion of the $50, O00, O0J
improvements which are being made on
the Central Pacific from Ogden to San
Francisco. The cause of this is said to
be slight apprehension on the part of
the Southern Pacific over the new cutoff
of the Santa Fe which will materially
reduce It's mileage from Chicago to San
Francisco, but what is still more impor-
tant VIII give it a low-grade road all
the way. With the present Santa Fe
mileage from Chicago to San Francisco
much longer than by way of Ogden, the
Southern Pacific has little to fear. When
however, the Santa Fe eliminates it's
mountain proposition and the Rock
Island possibly takes the Santa F'e route
to the coast the Southern Pacific man
agement desires to be in the best posi-
bic condition to combat competilion.

HANLog LooKINaEoR PITcHER
VIII Select Young Twirler from List
offered By Brush.

New York, Feb. 3.-Manager Hanlon
has not yet decided just what pitcher
ne viii select from the list offered him
by the Cincinnati club. He will reach
a decision in a few days, however, as
he is in daily consultation with Captain
Joe Kelley of the Reds, in Baltimore,
and Will depend to d considerable ex-
tent on the judgment of the latter in
reaching q conclusion.
The Brooklyn manager and his old
time trusty lieutenant are still firm
friends and Hanlon repOses as much
confidence in "Ker' as he ever did
Kelley knows the abilities of Wiggs.
Suthon, Thielman and the other men
named in the list, and Hanlon will
doubtless pick the man Kelley names.
Suth0n is the most likely yOungster
in the bunch and -KeI' Will doubtless
recommend him.
Manager HanlOn paid flying visit
to Brooklyn yesterday ana was in con-
sultatiOn with President Ebbets, leav-
ing Immediately for Baltimore in the
afternoon. Ebbets said there was
nothing significant in connection with
lannon's visit, but had the following
to say regarding the baseball situation
in Baltimore:
There has been some misunder-
standing in certain quarters regarding
the relations OF Mr.. HanlOn and the
baseball situation in Baltimore Mr..
HanlOn has made his reputation, his
money and his home in Baltimore, and
ne feels under great obligations to the
citizens of that city. They were very
anxious not to be left of the baseball
map and therefore appealed to Hanlon
to endeavor to keep them on the map.
He has jumped in with that object in
view
He feels that it is duty he owes
to the people Of Baltimore to give them
a baseball club, and his idea is to SEA
cure q franchise in the Eastern league.
He controls both the baseball parks in
Baltimore and no other club can locate
there. Consequently his chances OF
getting an Eastern league franchise
are excellent.
In fact q committee from the east
ern league is now in Baltimore looking
over the field. and the indications seem
favorable that the Montreal franchise
viii be transferred to Baltimore Mr..
lannon's relations with the Brooklyn
club viii be in no way affected by his
Baltimore interests
