During the year there has not been

of typhoid fever, which has been so prev
alent in many other places, is to US all a
matter of especial import and the claims
made for the marked healthfulness of
Takoma Park are well founded"

FOR PITCHER FRAZER

CHICAGO. ILL.,. January 15.-Outfielder
Henry II. Gessler of the Chicago Nationals
goes to Cincinnati in exchange for Pitcher
Chick Frazer, for whom President Muir
ply has been angling for some time The
deal practically was made several weeks
ago. but the exact terms were subject to
the approval of the two managers, which
was secured today.
With Manager Hanlon in the east and
Manager Chance in California the differ
ent offers which have been made required
some time for adjustment. Hanlon de-
clined to accept either cash offer or part
cash and young player. which were the
terms suggested by the Chicago club. II
stead the Red manager wanted more
seasoned player and named Gessler as the
other end of the trade. This was submit
ted to Manager Chance, who wired his ap-
prevail of the deal yesterday. Frazer al
ready had agreed to terms with President
Murphy, and his signing a 1907 contract
awaited only the completion of the deal

HARVARD'S BASE BALL
SITUATION MIXED

BOSTON, January 15.-Harvard base ball
heads have spent two weeks in anxiety
over coach and have not arrived anywhere
yet. That Harvard cannot even get a pro-
fessonal coach to take charge of the nine
was the rumor that circulated yesterday.
Over the coach problem Harvard base
balloon is divided into two factions. One
clique. that claims to be in the majority,
will listen to no one but a Harvard grad
uate, while the others want a hustling pro-
fessional like Lush at Yale
1t is said that some men communicated
early last week with Griffith of the New
York Americans, asking for an envoy who
could stay with the nine through June. and
that the American manager replied that he
needed all the men he had.
wild Bill" Donovan will probably take
the pitchers in hand until his Detroit mas
tiers call for him, and Willie Keller Is ex-
pected to give few preliminary lessons in
batting. Both have been asked by the
Harvard management il they would do
little early coaching, and both have con-
sented but their compensation has not yet
been voted by the athletic committee.
Cavanaush, Harvard man, who has
played with the New Bedford and Akron
teams. has been practically thrown out of
consideration, Harvard classes itself
above minor league.
Letters either have been will soon be
sent to other major league managers to
find out what professionals would be avail
able. in case Harvard decided to come down
off her dignity. If all the managers reply
like Griffith, the confusion in Harvard base
ball circles promises to be without prece-
dent.
Bill Reid, Walter Clarkson and Coburn
would be worth their weight in gold if they
would consent to head the nine. Reid has
positively made up his mind to go west,
Clarkson could not go out of Griffith's sight
In the ball season and Coburn has definitely
made up his mind to work All that is
causing untold gloom to many Harvard men,

BASE BALL TRUTHS
WILL SURELY OUT

CINCINNATI, January ia great light
was thrown on the reason of the miserable
showing of the former worlds champion
Giants last season in the evidence against
Jimmy Sebring in a hearing before the ma
tional commission on his application for re-
instatement. The testimony came out yes
terday
While under contract to the Chicago Ma
tional League club Sebring jumped to the
Tri-State. and has been playing with the
Williamsport team of that league. When it
became evident that the Tri-State League
was coming into the fold under the condi-
ton that all contract jumpers be compelled
to play in that organization or none. Sc
bring asked the commission to give him
clean bill
The heaviest charge against that player
was that he had been tampering with play
ers of the New York National League club.
and it was on this ground that his applica-
ton denied.
The sensation came in Sebring's defense
and his request for reopening of his case:
He testified that he had not approached
any New York players until after he had
received a letter from Mike Donin saying
that the players had Quarreled bitterly with
McGraw and that many of them were in
mood to be tempted.
Following the receipt of this letter he
wrote to Donlin and offered him 5000 a
month to play with the Wiliamsport club,
management. He also offered Billy Gilbert
$500 month to Jump" the Giants and
come into the outlaw camp.
Discussing the case afterward. Sebring
said:
What 1 told the commission is absolutely
true. did not strain myself trying to wreck
McGraw's team or anything of the sort.
The facts of the case are that the bunch
were sore on Johnny last season and that Is
the reason they played without interest
much of the time. No. l don't mean to say
that they deliberately laid down on him.
but when bunch of players gets sore on
manager it puts crimp in their work, be-
cause they haven't any loyal feeling In
making good for him.
Yes. l did make an offer for Donin and
Gilbert, but that was after l had the letter
telling me that the camp was split wide
open and the crowd sore. see that Gilbert
has been fired back to the minors as the
to make what say look pretty good. 1 am
sure if 1 get another hearing l will win the
case and join the Cubs in the spring"
President Charley Murphy of the Cubs
added a touch of tabaSco to the situation
by getting into quarrel with Barney
Dreyfuss. He accused Dreyfuss of inu-
encing Chairman Hermann against Sebring
in order to weaken the Cubs.
IF you had said / was working to put
Sebring on the team there would be more
truth in 1t" retorted Dreyfuss. Il canned
him and Hermann canned him. would be
tickled to death to see him playing for
you.

FRENCH CHAMPION
WON TENNIS TOURNEY

NEW YORK. January 15.-Ferdinand
Garcin, the best court tennis player in
France, landed first money in the invitation
tournament which came to close at the
Racquet and Tennis Club yesterday after
noon He defeated George Standing of the
home club in straight sets, S. Sc. This
gives Garcin a clean record, with three
matches won and none lost.
The other contestants In the tournament,
John White. Frank Forester and Standing,
finished with one win and two defeats each,
but second money was awarded to White
for the reason that he won more sets than
the other two. White won four sets and
Standing and Forester three each, so that
the latter pair divided third and fourth
moneys.
The same uncertain light which caused a
postponement of the match on Saturday
prevailed yesterday and was responsible .or
much OF the Indifferent work on the part
or both players. In addition to this Stand
ing was handicapped by an attack of the
grip. His strokes lacked their usual
dash and force. The same may also be
said in measure of the Frenchman, whose
usual finished game lacked that force and
nicely SO much admired in his matches last
week. In fact, he, like Standing appeared
pretty well tired out.
The four-handed match which had been
arranged for today has been called off as
all the players pretty we'll used up.
