playing. Hanlon paid $50. geo for the
OriOle grounds and it has been rum
ored that he did not invest that sum
OF money without knowing something
definite about where he was to get re-
turns for such an outlay. Hanlon is
credited with the remark that perhaps
he would get big league franchise
for Baltimore before long and that re-
mark has been. considered from all an
giles until it has been figured out by
some that the most likely club from
either of the big leagues to be switch
ed to the Oriole town is the Detroit
franchise. For various reasons the
Tiger team has been going badly.
The club has never been a big win
ner and the reports that have come
out of Detroit would indicate that the
hackers of the Tigers were ready for
any kind of a deal that would give
them a better show for dividends than
they are now getting. The Tiger team
could be switched to Baltimore with
out much opposition on the part of
any one, it is said HanlOn is said to
have known of this deal when he pur-
chased his park there The weak part
of this report is that with the Detroit
team switched to Baltimore the circuit
of the American league would be Iop-
sided, with five clubs in the eastern
end and three in the west, but this fact
would not necessarily be a handicap
heads of baseball Another yarn that
has been circulated with regard to the
Baltimore purchase by HanlOn is that
the Brooklyn club of the National
league might be taken back there
again. The fact that Garry Hermann
owns big block of stock in the
Brooklyn club and that Hanlon, the
manager of the Cincinnati team, has
thrown the election of the Brooklyn
club into court, is food for gossip on
the part of some. This interference
on the part of HanIon would indicate
that an attempt is to be made to get
control of the club for the purpose OF
transferring it to Baltimore, it is said
This story, it is asserted, would have
sounded much better last year when
the Brooklyn club had not enjoyed the
best season in its history. At present
the prospects next year are even more
hattering than the past has been for
