New York. Dec. Both Of the major
baseball leagues will hold meetings next
week The American League will con
vene in Chicago on December Il. while
the National League viii meet in this
city at the Waldorf on the same date.
It is believed that a number of inn
portant trades will be made among the
National League clubs. as the American
League clubs have already completed
several big deals The New York Ma
tionals, It is said, viii try to make trades
with Cincinnati and St Louis, with the
idea of bringing Pitcher Karger. Out
fielder Mitchell. and Second Basemap
Higgins to the polo grounds.
The Boston Nationals want 20 trade of
Fred Tenny, the first baseman. but moth

HARD TO GET DOWN BET.
Vigilance OF PinkertOns Has Closed
the New York PoOIrOoms.

New York. Dec. with the Eastern
racing season at an end and many horse
players here for the winter, the natural
question arose today. Where can you
get bet down on the New Orleans
races?" The vigilance of the Pinkertons
in keeping information away from the
poOlrooms. in accordance with the Jockey
Clubs policy. caused a general closing Of
the poolrooms last summer. and few Of
them tried to resume business. Men who
had conducted these city betting places
for many years said that il was folly 20
remain open for the reason that il was
impossible to obtain correct details.
The Pinkertons maintained a close
watch up 10 the close OF Benning on Sat
urday. when their labors for the year
ceased. The races at New Orleans, how
ever are not under the jurisdiction of the
Jockey Club, so that since the season
opened in the Crescent City, about ten
days ago. the local poolroom men have
been filled with hopes.

most familiar figures at the games. is

illness, at his home. $50 r street north

Danny" as he was affecuonately
known by the players and his friends, will
be remembered by the old-time fans who
attended the games a score OF years ago.
While it has only been in the last few
years. since the American League placed
a club In Washington. that he has been
employed az the ball grounds. he WAS
a constant attendant at the games. and
seldom would an afternoon pass that he
was not TO be seen on the players bench
talking 10 the boys" or occupying a
front seat in the grand stand roofing for
the home club.

Danny never lost faith IN the prowess OF

face would be the first 20 greet him on his
arrival AT the grounds. and the last seen
on his departure after the game. Other
players who were particularly fond Of
Conroy were Hunter Hill and Dave Alti-

W. IT. Fowler, secretary OF the local
club, when told yesterdays Of Conroy $
death, was much grieved. Fowler said

SUIT OYER THE WHITE SOX
G. c. Haney Asks for Share of Profits
Of Club.
Claims He Disposed of His Stock
When Told Team Would Make Lit
tie more than Expenses.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-If a suit which has
been begun by George c.. Haney against
Charles Comisl1ey, owner Of the Chicago
White Sox baseball team. is not settled
before 1t comes 10 TRIAL, there is a posi-
oility that the affairs of the baseball
world, so far as they are interviewer
with the affairs of the American League
magnate. will become public.
The suit OF Mr.. Haney is brought 10
recover stock which he formerly owned
in. the American League baseball team
Of Chicago, and TO recover his share of
the dividends which have been paid by
that corporation since he parted with
his stock.
In his complaint Mr.. Haney alleges
that the corporation was formed in 1900.
under the laws of Wisconsin. with a cap
italization of $4,000. He claims that he
was induced by fraudulant representa-
tiOns to believe that all the stock was
being issued and paid for. and with that
understanding he bought shares at 800 a
share.
He alleges that. in fact. only $1,000
worth Of the stock was sold and paid for,
that thereafter the corporation earned
large profits. but that he was told that
the corporation was but little more than
making expenses.
On that representation he was induced
he says. to sell his stock at about par.
while the truth was that the stock had
earned large profits. After he sold his
stock in 1903 the corporation began to
earn large profits. so that 10 the present
time the club has earned more than
100000 net He now brings suit TO get
back his stock and 10 receive his por-
ton of the dividends
The suit will involve the examination
Of the books Of the corporation and the
determination OF the amount Of dividends
earned.

LAJOIE MUST MAKE GOOD.
Cleveland Owners Wnnt Him to En-

Cleveland. Dec. while Napoleon
Lajoie is to manage the Maps in 1908. he
has been informed that in the future he
must not be so easy with his men or go
back into the ranks as a private. Money
has been literally expended by Kilfoyl
and Somers for players, and Lajoie has
not obtained results. simply because he
could not control his men.
The Cleveland club owners are particu-
larly sore at the manner in which Larry
handled Howard Wakefield, who was a
pippin with Washington in 1906, and a
lemon with the Maps in 1907. Wakefield
was pounds overweight all last season
and Lajoie. though urged to suspend him
until he got down to playing weight,
would not do so. Consequently Cleveland
carried all year a man who was useless
except to warm up the pitchers.

Burns is right in line for some good
