used in the outf1eld, and his abilities as
an outfieluer and batsmdn will add much
to the strength Of that club.
All kinds Of rumor still prevail about the
Boston club. President John I. Taylor.
who Is in France enjoying his honeymoon,
will be here soon after the first of the year
and will again assume the reins Of his Of
fice. With President Ban Johnson of the
American League here in a short time the
matter of the manager Of the club will be
carefully reheaIsed. There have been many
mentioned for the position, but it Is stead
tasty urged by those in control of
the club that absolutely nothing has
been done in that direction and that
tnere is ample time to cOnsluer the mater.
Chick Stains chances seem as god Just
now as those of any one. Stahl has had
ample experience and has had plenty Of
good schooling, and there is every reason
to expect that he will make good. Looking
forward, the manager Of the club Of 1907
ought TO be belter Iortined In many ways
than his predecessor. The club ought to
be better by far behind the bat and IN the
outfed. There seems to be every reason
to believe that Jimmy" Barrett, formerly
of the Detroits, will be in as good shape to
play bail as ever i'll ms Sdiee boston

In throwing, and there it Is that Barrett
is strong. lie is a player VINO always
takes the best of care OF himself, and II
looks as If the club was extremely fortu-
nate to command his services. After start

Barrett played the season out and his W. TX
contributed good deal to enable the Grub
to make the excellent showing 1t made.
Then Outfelder Sullivan from Minneapolis
may prove an Improvement upon any tEing
the club now has for an Outfield position.
1t looks as If field composed OF Barrett,
Stam and Sullivan would certainly be an
improvement upon anything the club had
in the field last season.

Jimmy" Collins would doubtless Ike to
come back again and resume his former
position, but the owner of the club will
scarcely condone his conduct in leaving the
club in the lurch last season. Certainly II
he turns up in good shape in the spring
Collins will be a great card for some club.

What a player can do who has the
nerve and the pluck to carve way for
himself was eminently shown by Jimmy"
Callahan the former Fitchburg boy. who
left the Chicago Americans and took hold
Of the Logan Squares. His team made
very good showing. and 1t is generally con-
ceded that Callahan made deal more
money In his independent venture than he
could have made had he played base ball.
Callahan still ranks with the best all-round
players In the country and very good man
was lost to the Sox when they lost him.
Still they won triple honors without him
in the team. That being the case the prob
lem should have been easier by far with
him in the team.
