Callahan to Again Manage chicaeos

A special from Chicago says that one of
the many elements of doubt concerning the
White Stocking campaign of 1904 was re-
moved yesterday by President Comiskey's
definite announcement that Manager Gala
han would continue to hold the managerial
reins, but would be switched from third
base to second on the diamond This was
the outcome of a conference between the
master of the White Socks and Callahan.
Commenting on the situation. Comiskey
said: There was never any idea in my nj
of making change in the management of
the team. Callahan showed me enough last
year. when he was working under the worst
possible conditions, to warrant confidence
in his ability. He was not only new to the
work of a manager, but was heavily handi-
capped by the desertion of Davis and the
necessity of jumping In and playing third
base himself. He is much better fitted
naturally to play second base and has had
experience in that position

MOST ABUSED CITY.
Washington to Be Well Looked Ate,
In the Future.

In the Future.
From, the st. Louis Sporting News.
The announcement that the Washington
club had been sold to John r. Mclean, pro-
prietor Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and Rep
resentative Wadsworth of New York, resi-
dents of the nations capital, was probably
premature. as Attorney Lambert's visit to
Chicago did not result in an official con-
frmation. Negotiations have not ended
and the inference that President Johnsons
eastern trip is connected with the deal is
warranted. The acquisition of Mclean and
Wadsworth by the American League would
be of great advantage to 1t. Each has
financial, political and social prominence
and has that greater qualification of a mag
nate-hearty enthusiasm for the game
Washington has been the most abused city
that has had major league franchise. Its
redemption will be accomplished when men
of the capital, position and civic pride OF
Mclean and Wadsworth become identified
with its club. The time consumed in the
negotiations leads to the opinion that the
condition of the team is as much q factor in
the delay in making the deal as the price
asked for the plant. Seven Of the American
League teams are well equipped with talent
and each of them will be able to spare one
or more high-grade players to strengthen
the Senators. There is reason to believe
that number of trades will take place be-
tween this and reporting time between
teams which have championship chances.
and when these transactions between clubs
are completed President Johnson will in
sist on contributions to the Washington
club, whether it is purchased by Mclean
and Wadsworth or passes into the control
of other parties. The American League will
not carry the club next season. The policy
of securing local ownership will be strictly
followed in the future. There are only two
American League clubs owned by non-resi-
dents. Mr.. Hedges. the principal stock
holder of the Browns. is a Missourian by
birth, who resided near Cincinnati until he
became interested in the local club. He
lives here half the year, and the prospects
are that he will before many months estab-
fish his household here. Mr.. Killilea. the
fortunate owner of the Boston club, was
born in that city, but has for years been
successful attorney in Milwaukee. His law
pactice is so large that he cannot give his
personal attention to his base ball inter-
ests. but the record of the team since his
connection with it is proof that its patrons
have no cause for complaint. Washington
will be developed by the American League
into a frst-class base ball city. and II
Messrs. Mclean and Wadsworth become
the Senator's purchasers the redemption OF
the capital city will be much easier and
quicker of accomplishment.

TURF GOSSIP.
Madden's Bad Luck and Yeager's
Success


John E. Madden seems to be unable to
shake off the run Of misfortune which his
stable has encountered since last spring. 1t
was hard matter for him to reconcile him
self to the death of his famous imported
stallion Mirthful, and it was also a severe
blow to him when the remarkable two-year-
old The Minute Man, who took McChesney' $
measure last summer in special race, had
to be destroyed at Brighton Beach. A
greater misfortune, perhaps, was the recent
death of the three-year-old Mirthful colt.
Aristocracy, with whom Madden expected
to clean up a wealth of prizes this year.
But, to cap the climax, comes the story
from Kentucky that the big Top Gallant
three-year-old. Pulsus, is on the sick list
and may not train on. Pulsus was the big
gest two-year-old, physically, on the east
ern turf last year. and when Madden bought
him back from e. r. Thomas for $lo.ooo 1t
was said, the colt continued TO show unusual
qualities. In fact, Madden predicted at the
end of the racing season that in Aristoc-
racy and Pulsus he would have two of the
best three-year-olds. in the country this
year. Pulsus was brought east by Bud
May last spring. together with Highball
and Wotan. Madden looked the trio over
and selected Pusus for Mr.. Thomas, the
latter owning half interest with Madden.
Pu1sus was regarded as the best two-year-
old colt of the year until Highball developed
later and wrested the palm from him. Wo-
tan, who will run in the name of the Hamp-
ton stable, does not lack class. and his own
ers, Deimer & Dwyer, believe that he may
turn out to be a second Africander.
Joe Yeager. the hoy plunger,'' has been
cutting wide swath in California this win
ter He has discovered gold mine in
Jockey Hildebrand. and has made the ring
sizzle by playing his mounts. A well-known
turfman has recently circulated this story
about Yeager's proceedings:
when Yeager decides to play one of Hill
debrands mounts 1t is curious to watch
Wally Brinkworth. who makes books for
him, boost the price without refusing the
money or rubbing. Wally, who is light
ming money grabber, gets as slow as mo-
lasses. He suddenly becomes deaf, too, and
asks bettor two or three times what horse
he wants, after which he takes off his hat

side of the ring duly report to their block

taking the money through Wally. which is
a fact on the face of it. But Wally never
sees the gold coin and the yellow backs, but

'INDETERMINATE SENTENCE
SURJECT OF JOHN O TAYLOR'S
 ADDRESS.

Secretary of State Prison Association
 at First Baptist Church-PIan of In-
 determinate system Outlined--Poor
 Results of Present system.
 Under the auspices of the mems class of the First Baptist church, John C.. Taylor, secretary of the Connecticut Prison association, addressed an inter- ested audience in the church building at Livingston and Edwards streets last evening on 'The Indeterninate Sem tence." MT. Taylor has had a wide ex- periepce. in relation to state prison mat ters and is a most pronounced advo- cate of the indeterminate sentence.
 Mir. Taylor commenced his remarks by reading extracts from paper read in Atlanta, Ga, eighteen years ago by the late Dean Wayland on the deter minate sentence. MT. Taylor said, in part:
 . If it be asked whether a sufficient solution of the problem cannot be found in provision of law compelling judges, for repeated offences, to impose sen tences materially increasing in severity with each new criminal act, answer that this would, at best, only diminish, but would by no means remove, the danger. The advocates of his plan must still, perforce, maintain the mon strous and wholly indefensible position that a professional criminal, unrepent- ent and unreformed is to be set at lib- erty for no other reason in the world than because certain day of certain
