Manager Selee of the Chicago National
league baseball team sizes up the cham
pions' chances for corralling another
pennant.
Cincinnati is the team Selee expects
to show great improvement. New York
also looks strong to him. His own 2
year-olds he believes will give any and
every team in the league a fight all the
time. If he had two hard hitting out
helders the Chicago manager could al
most see the 1904 pennant Tapping over
the West side grounds.
Today the 2-year-olds will get the
first practice of the season together.
Secretary Williams and the band he
has piloted out Of Chicago are due here
at 8:25 in the morning. In the after
noon they will go out to Chutes park
and resume acquaintance with the
skinned diamond they worked on last
year.
Manager Selee has been at Hotel
Rosslyn, where the ball players will
stop while here, for several days. To-
day Joe Tinker and his wife moved
over to the same place from Ocean
Beach.
Ed Hanlon seems to have slight
chance of landing Frank Dillon for his
Brooklyn club. Dillon, with all the rest
of the Los Angeles team, is here and
hard at work. He does not want to go
back to the Superbas, and Morley posi-
lively refuses to give him up. He is
captain of the local team. 1t seems
likely Morley will win the Dillon case
by default" 1t is certain that if Han
lon is to get the player he must do
some strenuous hustling, as when it
comes to a showdown it is probable
the Pacific Coast league will refuse to
carry on a battle against the Los An

of Minor Leagues.

work in his pool tournament here with

RELEASE FOR j. RYAN.
At His Own Request Is Allowed to
Leave by Washington.

Washington, March Skinny Ryan
has secured his release from the Wash

is now negotiating with the Evansville
club of the Central league with the
idea of purchasing a controlling inter
est in it and acting as manager during
the coming season. Ryan left Chicago
last night for Evansville. where he is
today.
Ever since the internal affairs of the
Washington club were muddled up last
fall Ryan has been anxious to secure
his release, figuring that he was about
done as major league player. though
still strong for the minors. President
Johnson has withheld the release, de-
string to let the new owners, whoever
they may develop to be, select their
own team from the players under re-
serve, but Ryan has been so insistent,
owing to a number of lucrative offers
of managerial berths which he had to
let pass, that the chief executive has
finally given in and the release granted.
Ryan is now free and can make the
best terms possible for his services with
the minors.

Is Willing to Fight, @Though Tt
Seems q Shame"

st. Louis, March S.-'Philadelphia.
jack O'Brien, who is here training for
his bout with Mike Shrek, said:
Il see that old Bob Fitz is trying to
stir up trouble with me again. 1 have
not hunted for Fitz's game very much.
It has always seemed to me to be some
thing of a crime to hit an old man like
Fitz. Still, If he thinks it will help
him any I'm willing to fight Fitz, and
will back myself to win at that. The
middle weight championship is claimed
by both Tommy Ryan and Fitz and
neither one really wants to fight for it.
81 would like to win the title before
I quit the game, and if whipping Fitz-
simmons will get me an engagement
with Ryan I will clean up both of
them.
Ryan is not a hard proposition. I
found his game easy from the start. As
for Fitz, it hurts him to walk, much
less fight. I am willing to post forfeit
any time for a fight with Fitzsimmons."

putting the finishing touches to their

Mont. beat the old man to it. but the
wind carried Mont. and ladder to the
ground quicker than he wished. The
captain failed to note the absence OF

anchor of hope got too close to the
edge of the roof just as an extra heavy
dust-ladened blast struck him fairly

salary paid Mr.. Durham is to be SIS,
and he is to have charge of the squad
