Fred Tenney would like to complete his
base ball career by becoming real major
league magnate as part owner OF the bos-
ton National League club Messrs; soden

The Detroit Journal had the following
comment on Bostons third haseman: Nor
gan has improved GO per cent over his play

of use here. q.

Just soon as it is known which Ameri-

won't have anywhere near the cinch Win

Hobe Ferris is under suspension for the

Barney Dreyfuss is quoted as saying: Il
want to empha SiZe that if that team does
not win second place in the race for me l
will make them play the string out. will
make them play exhibition games to the
end of their contract. They have a chance
yet for second place. They deserve no IA
vor at my hands if they do not win it, nor
will they get any. On the other hand. if
they win second place for me they go
on full pay when the last game is played
and take all the transforming money for
themselves.
