 Manager Finn has lost no time in notic- --s N''N Nthh htpdi lilltHlS. i1e Knows where they are and is already out on the hustle to pick up men that can do the work. He wants another catcher. a shortstop and an outhelder For short he has several men under consideration, the most prominent of which is Hall, of the Giants. This man has been promised to Baltimore by McGraw, but if that city does not want him Nashville will proba- bly close deal for him. Manager Finn has had several talks with Mir Jennings. who is here with Cornell about the in- fielder. Jennings has wired Baltimore, which club he manages, asking if they would consider a proposition. If they will it is most likely that MT Finn will purchase his release from New York. If Hall cannot be had Nashville will secure Hannifin from Connie Mack if satisfactory terms can be reached A deal for this player has been on for some time but there is hitch because Han nitin says that he does not desire to play In the South because of his being afraid of yellow fever. Hannifn played with Norwich in the Connecticut League last season. His batting average was rather low hitting only .2i6. In the field, though, he led the league at short with a per- centage of .92S. He had 2S0 put-outs, 3O6 assists and 57 errors.
 Nashville would take either of the above players but, of course, prefers Hall if he can be had for reasonable price. Word is expected from Dusty" Miller some time this week and if the erstwhile Vulcanite consents to come here he will, of course, fill the other infield position, thereby completing the regular squad Nashville American.
