CHICAGO BoWLERS SMILE.
Laugh at Reports That East Is
Flirting with the A B. c.

Chicagoans smile when they hear re-
ports from the East that the National
Bowling Association. meaning the New
Workers. IS flirting with the American
Bowling Congress with the idea Of having
that body eradicate the evils the East
has been fighting against ever since the
break in Buffalo. says the Chicago News.
II is said that Garry Hermann is striv-
ing to establish commission like the
baseball organization and give the New
Workers representation on it, In return
the New Workers viii send the Corinth-
ians TO the national tournament at Gin
cinnau. with the idea Of showing the
other competitors just what a regularly
organized Eastern club can do in COM
petition against picked teams"
1T is all right TO have peace in the
tenpin world says a local player who IS
familiar With bowling politics. but this
thing Of giving in 10 the East on all the
little piOnts over which they are holler-
ing should be discouraged Ever since
Buffalo we have been making concessions,
and still the New Workers are outside the
bulwarks. We reduced the weight of the
bowling ball 10 sixteen pounds 70 please
the Easterners; we put in square cutters
10 please the Fasteners; we did this
and we did that 10 please the Fasteners.
and still they kick and stay out We
have got along without them since Buff
falo. and I think we shOUd not make any
more concessions. If they want 10 Join
the congress. let them come in as others
do; 1 fthey do not like our ways, let them
stay outside the bulwarks."

Lewis retorted that he would do as he

headquarters to New York. as II is pretty
certain that he does not care to carry the
leagues papers and appliances from Chi
cago TO New York twice a year for the
meetings. Johnson has long been jealous
OF the prominence the National League
gains through having its headquarters
In Gotham. and though he has never
given out that he would move the Amer
lean League Office, there has been much
gossip about the possible change. The
announcement that all meetings will be
held in New York is ''nuf said"
Milwaukee is not the only Class A
league team that would like TO land Bill
Bernard. of the Maps. as manager. Nash
vile, Of the Southern League, would also
like to secure the services of the big.
good-hearted pitcher. One interested in
that club has wired asking Bernard s
terms. The Tennessee town certainly
would be getting a splendid man for the
place IL IL decides upon the Clevelander.
Unglaub led the Boston club by driving
in seventy runs. Anderson showed the
Washington batters how 20 do some time
ly batting. and Wallace led the Browns
in that respect. Williams. of New York.
was next followed by Lajoie. of the
Maps. who batted in sixty-five runs in
his 1S7 games.
According TO the figures kept by Ernest
Lanigan. of the New York Press. four
times during the season was a home run
made when the bases were filed Man

trick in the American League, while
Tommy Leach, Pat F'laherty, and Fred

Hahn. O'Brien. Bill Hinchman, Clarke,
Cobb, Donovan, and Stone were among
those who were equal to the occasion at

Lanigan's dope also shows that two
batters succeeded in driving in six runs
during a game. one player TO each big
league-Seymour. OF the Giants, and
Conroy. OF the Yankees. Chase. Cobb.
and Wagner each drove in five runs in a
single game, while men 10 turn the trick

FIVE MEN FOR SLUGGER.
George Stone, Once Discarded, IL
Again Wanted by Boston.

Boston, Dec. 22-President Taylor. OF
the Boston American League team. is
anxious TO obtain Outfelder George
Stone, Of 81. Louis. and. according 10
headquarters whisperings, st. Louis has
been offered five men for the hard-hit-
ting outer gardener.
Ever since Manager James Collins al
lowed Stone TO go TO ST. Louis without a
tryoUt, and thereby let one of the great
est major league finds in two seasons
get away. regret has prevailed among
Pilgrim supporters.
It is understood that the Boston club
is willing to waive upon Grimshaw. Con-
galton, Kroh. Jacobsen. and Shaw, but
Hugh McBreen, who is in charge at the
American League headquarters until
President Taylor returns from California.
viii not admit that these five men have
been or are TO be offered McAleer for
George Stone.
Unless a deal is pulled off whereby the
five men go together, it is unlikely that
Shaw or Kroh Will be allowed to go.
Shaw is a catcher Of Al quality, and
Kroh is a young southpaw twirler. OF
whom much is expected.
