CAMEL FOR MANAGER.
Two Of Cincinnati Directors Favor
Him, It Is Said.

Cincinnati, Dec. 1.-Two of the dircC-
tors of the Cincinnati club have come
out in support of John Camel for the
managership of the Reds. President
Hermann, too is said to be convinced
that unless ono man for whom h roW
is throwing his choicest golden bait is
secured. der captain of 1907 would be
the best man for the title Of dor man
ager for 1905
The facts have leaked ont within the
past dav or two. being some Of the
'inside information" about the recent
meeting Of the stockholders ana board
of directors of the club held aevcra,
days aGo. when the managerial ques-
ton was pretty we'll threShed cut Who
the "preferred man" is the source oi
information refuses to- reveal. but he
does declare that at the pre- sent writing
the prospect; FOR securing this man are
extremely remote. and that the chances
are that when the announcement of r
leader for the Reds for next season
finally is made il will sound so much
like John Camel that no one not even
President Hermann. will I've able tc
tell the difference
Camel would have decided advan-
tage over any other manager right al
the start. in that he knows exactly
what material he has on hand to work
with and where the team needs
strengthening. He has worked with all
the men during the past year and
knows their strength and weakness
His long previous experience in fast
company has given him an excellent
line on practically all the PLAYERS III
the big league now. So that he would
be better fitted than any other man
who could be Secured-unless Il should
happen to be a mana ger of established
reputation in the majors-to advise
president Hermann in the matter of
making trades Cancers popularity
with the players is undoubted. and that
they nave confidence in him was showr
on several occasions last season wher
Manager Hanlon absented himself from

have put 4 man on third base, FROM
whence he could have scored on the

KILLED BY SWITCH ENGINE.
John Lattya<, of Whiting, Meets Death
in Yards of Standard oil Co.

John Lattyak. of Whiting, Ind, So
years old, was run over by switch
engine in the yards of the Standard
Oil company this morning at a. m.
and was instantly killed.
Lattay1, who is married and has a
wife and three children, was on his way
to work at the plant where he was a
still cleaner, when the switch engine
ground him to death.
The accident happened at o'clock
in the morning and was probably due
to the darkness and the fact that it
was unusual for a workingman to be
in that vicinity at that time.
Lattyak's wife is in the old country
and in the dead mans pocket was found
a letter which she stated that she
would be on her way home when the
letter reached him.
Lattyak lives 200 feet north of One
Hundred and Nineteenth street and has
been a resident of Whiting for eight
years. The First Catholic union will
have charge of the funeral which will
be held Sunday and the interment will
be in Oak Hill cemetery in this city.
