A letter from Manager Cantillon says ne
never had any intention of attending 'he
meeting of the minor leagues. now IN SEES
sion in New York, and that he would not De
east until the schedule meeting of the TWO
big organizations in New York next month.
Washington's new manager mas had MS
hands full since taking charge or the local
club and he intimates that IL the business
continues to expand he will have to hire
typewriter. Joe admitted that he woulo
like to have a beautiful blonde to dictate
his letters to. but he says he Is afraid ne
can get no one who would stand for his
loud waistcoats AS at the meeting of the
American League, Mr.. Cantllon was the
center of interest at the recent gathering
of the American Association moguls In Chi
cago. Being interested in two minor league
clubs as well as the manager of the Wash
ington club all sorts of deals and trades
were talked about and many were started
that will be fully developed before the
spring season rolls around.
MANY base bail fans of this city, who
originally hailed from Pennsylvania nave
been writing Manager Cantilon asking MIN
to keep his eyes on Outfielders Jack Hayden
and Bill Clay. Both these men belong to
the Boston Americans. and it is thought
that one or both might figure in deal II
nx-Manager Stahl goes to Boston. Hayden
times gave flashes of his real ability while
with Boston but the old timers under jim
my Collins simply sent the youngster bal
looming for the better part of the season.
Bill Clay did not sign contract with
Boston last spring but jumped the reserve
rule and signed with York. Up to the
middle of July, Clay was away off in his
work of the year previous. which he spent
with Louisville. md it was finally ascer-
tanned that the big fellow wasn't taking
syaod care of himself He was finally re-
leased and then taken back on the proviSo
that he cut out the flowing bowl. From that
point to the end of the season Clay was
simply a wonder, batting around the 400
mark and fielding brilliantly. He is I'M
doubtedly a star player. and under the
guiding hand of Manager Cantillon might
develop into second George Stone.
trade involving Grimshaw, Hayden and
Clay for Stahl would look very nice to the
enthusiastic Pennsylvanians.
Jack Dunn. the new manager of the Bal
timore club. was in Washington this morn
ing and called on President Noyes to ascer-
tain if some arrangement could not be
framed up whereby the Orioles would get
hold of some of the Nationais surplus play
ers AS this end of the club is in the hands
of Manager Cantillon, the Baltimore man
was referred by President Noyes to the
Chicago office of the club. The Baltimore
club had close relations with the Nationals
last season. but it is doubtful If they Will
be continued. as Manager Cantillon- can
take care of all the extra material that is
let out by Washington in his teams at Mil
waukee and Des Moines.
Manager Dunn was seen later by Star
reporter. but the Baltimore man said he
had nothing in the news line to give out
He said the Baltimores had been riddled by
sales and TRAITS of players, but that he
hoped To have a first-claSs team IN shape
by the time the bel sounded for the open
ing of the season.
