BASEBALL NOTES..


Charley Carr is ito manage the Indian
apolis team next year. Charley will shine
as {: minor Lacquer, but big league class
is Il bit too speedy for him.
The Columbus club is trying hard to OBJ
tain Titus srntele or Sourtncy from the
philljcs Titus is an outiicldcr and
Courtney and Sentclle are infieldcrs.
Bill Hirchman will have t" fight 1t out
with Corgalton for an ontii"ld I"sIllon
on the Cleveland team. The concenSuS
kof opinion is that Hinchman will win out
in the contest.
Hugh Jennings does not expect 40
play with the Detroits next season.
However. he'll be out in uniform to
act as an alarm clock for somnambu-
iistic base runners.
Charley Comiskcy is not in favor o.
numbering the players as recommended
by Charley Murphy. distinctively col
nr,d shirt for each position would appear
| to be a much better idea. This prevailed
in 1881 ana met with public approval.
our great national game is bound 10
become all-national. A California col
| lc,.c team: is to play a series Of games IN
Japan next year. Those Japs are pro-
crossing sure enough. Ted Sullivan. the
| irreprcssiblc. is to 60 TO Yucata9 to or
game Il baseball league.

Miss Daisy Mccklcy The ceremony tool,

h.
| fer officiating. Only q few friends of the
| contracting parties witnessed the ccrc-
| mony.
| The Columbus clnl, will retain Dummy
| Kiln at first base. unless someone can
| be secured who is known to be n hard
| hitter as well as Il capable fielder. Man
| agcr Clymcr will rot consider Johnny
| Deal for the place. Deal writes from his
home near Philadelphia that he is will
| in;c to go anywhere he is sent. but pre-
fers some northern club to trip 10 the
| Southern League.
The Cubs may ride in a rrivat" car nf

Frank Dclahanty. who played left field

| Americans was operated on last week
| for appendicitis mt his home i'll tl"vc-

| D"lahantv is now recovering rapidly and
will bc ont of the hospital in Il few days.

great deal hy this ailmcnt last season.

| Stanley Robson Of st Louis when ask
| cd what ne had accomplished in tie way
| of trades. said: I'VE tried ont So men
| during tn" season of l9G6. and know just
| about where We stand. Didn't look for
| any trades at this; meeting. but would
have made any which might have added
| strength tD our team. Tho Others were
| all looking for the hest Of it. and that
| is why St. Louis did not figure in a
| trade
Tho Pi.tsburg cub trades CLAUDE Ritch-
| cy to Boston without any compensation
at ALL And tho little second bascman
| has been n Pirate standby ever since
Drnvfus brought him 70 PttsburS. Surely
| al! tho odd time sentiment there used t.
he in the game has been killed. II is now
| purely a business proposition and the
| question arises, is the game any better
| off for it? Ritchey may refuse to go to
| Boston. lie has an income of $40 day
from oil wells, and can afford to throw
| over baseball.
| New York baseball scribcs are working
| themselves into a hyStcria over the re-
| port that Manager Cantillon is to trade
| Case Patton to Griffith for DcIahanty
and another player. Pattcn may want
| to leave Washington. bat il the Gotham
writer's figure Joe 'antillon to get tho
| worst Of Il deal which it seems he would
in tho case mentioned they may as we'll
| calm down. Cantillnn is going slowly.
Patton is easily an All-Amcrican League
twirIrr. and Griffith has been after him
| all tie wear. Case is not likely to got
away without some star material in re-
turn. and Dclahantv is not of that cali

Considerable surprise was expressed
| when the Cleveland club did not ask
| fer waivers on more players than
Jimmy" Jackson. but this policy
| that the owners are following. They
| have found out that u league meeting
is :, poor place to show ones hand, eS-
| pccially in asking for waivers, and only
one name was turned in Tn Il few days
ii is likely that waivers will be asked
on Catcher Euclow and several other
players that may be found in either To-
ledo. Columbus o. indianapolis next
season. while Milwaukee may also re-
ceive a player.
Word was received at Reading. Pa.
from FLANK" Ramsey, who holds the
Reading franchise in the proposed At
lantic League. that he will not arrive in
Reading until January I, his clubs Gu
