It's back to the minor leagues for Jack Hannifin, the Holyoke boy who has been getting a tryOut with Connie Macks Philadelphia Athletics. Not that the Connecticut leaguer did not show class in his major league at tempts, but Mack has superfiuity of infelders and has announced that he intends to let Hannifn go The Holy oke man has been doing some showy fielding and has hit the ball hard and often.

 McCabe, the young pitcher. who was with Holyoke last year, has de- cided to go to Sioux City, to which team he was traded by Manager Fleming.

 The injury to Outfielder Siegle of the Cincinnatis, who broke his ankle while sliding to second base, is the third of its kind in recent seasons. Van Haltren broke his leg sliding to second and Duke Farrell met with a similar accident.
 Clarence Beaumont of the Pitts burgs fears that his playing days are about over. His knee is troubling him again and he has asked for his release. This neither Dreyfuss nor Clarke would grant. If your knee does not hold out" Dreyfuss told the outfielder, we will make you an honorary member of the team and keep you with us in order that you may see us win another pennant." The loss of a player of the Beaumont type would be matter for universal regret.
 Ban Johnson is strongly opposed to players of any American league | team making bets with players of 1 other teams on the pennant race. He | says stiff fines will be meted out to players making such bets. Betting s an evil which must be kept out of | the president declares.
