be made president of the National League

Harry Pulliam. tired of the cares of Office
and unable to resist the destinations of the
game. will become owner of the Boston

Hugh Duffy. always Boston idol. will be
manager of the Bostons. and will have q
powerful nine to work WITH
ing to the best inside information, and
while there will doubtless be hurrying and
scurrying and wild denals 1t will work out
that way just the same
When Mr.. Hart retired from the local
club nobody seriously believed that he was
out of base ball for good. He has been
wrapped up in the great sport for too long
been one Of the National Leagues most
wisest diplomats.
When questioned on the subject of the
National Leagues official changes today.
Mr.. Hart smiled amiably, and said that Mr..
Pulliam would make the finest possible
leader for the Boston team.
Mr.. Hart said that nobody has as yet
offered him any National League presiden-
cies, and that he didn't know whether his
business affairs would let him accept if
the position were offered.

New York Giants Demoralized.

PITTSBURG. July %. The New York
National League team is well nigh demor-
allied by the repeated defeats 1t has suf-
fered during the past week Only one. game
has been won by the worlds champions in
the last seven days, and many of the older
members Of the team are beginning to real
ize that unless the nine as whole develops
wonderful batting streak and the pitchers
especially Matthewson. return to form ran,
Idly. their chances for winning the pennant
for the third time are very remote.
Manager McGraw himself is disguised
with the showing of his men, and IN NOT
slow to tell them that they must take a
brace II they hope to retain their Jobs. For
two hours before yesterdays game Mana
ger McGraw was in conference with Ed
ward Abbatichio, formerly shortstop of the
Boston Club. and 1t is likely that within
another week the big infieider will don a
New York uniform. Chickering's have been
going on since Sunday, and the deal has
narrowed down to this:
II Abbatichio again enters major league
base ball II will be as a member of the
New York Club. He said as much today
and McGraw confirmed 1t. Abbatichio Is
now manager of hotel at Latrobe, Pa.
and the disposal of that Is holding him
back. President Brush has made "Batty"
an alluring offer, which his friends say he
will accept.

Both twirlers deserved about an equal

When darkness ended last evenings con-
test between the st. Dominic and Holy
Name clubs. the score was a tie, to 4.
For nine long innings neither side could
obtain a decided advantage over the other.
To many It looked like poor decision

Name aggregation from breaking away
from their hoodoo and sewing up the game.
The play came In the ninth. when, with
two hands down, Smith doubled to left
center and went to third on q passed ball.

eatcher's hand, the runner on third took the
desperate chance to win the game. but
