dispose Of all those players who have
not already shown ma ior league form,
as he is of the opinion that it's waste
of time and money to develop players

When Offering Jake Stahl in ex-
change for Fiber Flick and three 9TH
er Cltvelanders, President Kilfoyle
said: ''Why, we would not give Flick
for two Stalls, and for that matter
whom l would trade our right fielder
1 would rather have him than George
Stone and many others whom I deem
good men. l consider Keeler Just as
good i man, but Flick, by virtue of his
splendid habits. is practically in the
prime Of his baseball career.
a Chicago writer says that Boston,
contrary t" general statements, does
not need u first baS"man. Grimshaw
is good enough for any club and a
trad" of GrimShaW for Stahl would
simply change the first SackerS. not fill
any want. BoStons success for 1907
depends largely upon the condition of
Collins who may or may not he the
great third baScnan h was. while the
condition of Crigar will count a good
deal Boston could use a live pitcher
and the nutEeId is an uncertain guam

Hugh McI!rcccn has received q letter
FROM Outfield"r Hayden, saying that
tire inquiry he received while playing
football this fall would not handicap
his baseball work in the least. This was
good n"ws for the Boston club. as they
have received waivers on Hayden and
trades later. Al. RuckenbcrGer is par
ticIlHrly anxious to get Hayden for the
Rochester team to take the field left
vacant by Jimmie Bannon. who was
not reserved. Hayden played with
Rochester several seasons and made
good in that city.
Viewing his case calmly. it may be

Fielding can be taught and from the
way the big follow cavOrted around
the sack last season, he should quickly
develop into strong man in his de-
fenSive work. ROSSman'S 500 in tho
American League and his .357 with the
Des Moines the year earlier make him
LOOK the hitting part already.
