CHESBRO MAY GET IN GAME

for the infield and outfeld positions than
McGraw has carried for many years will
make the practice more spirited than was
the case last year when the team went
South with the assurance that there
would be no changes in the lineup
That feeling of security and the bad
weather that was encoupntered resulted
in having the team in poor condition
when the season started and when a
few other misfortunes struck them the
Giants were thrown out of the race.
NIcGraw has made. it very plain to his
men this year that there will be no ia
vorites played, and that every man will
have to show that he is the best man
before lie gets a regular position.
All the players who have been Of
fered contracts this year have lost llt-
tie time in signing. with the eXcep-
ton of Mike Donlin and Danny Shay.
In tho case of Shay 1t is said that he
has not yet been offered q contract.
but that McGraw has not been able to
come to terms on the salary question.
Donlin has made his demand for more
money, and is apparently not worrying
as to whether he gets it or not. He Is
reported to be managing his wlfes the
atrical interests and may play on one
Of the Chicago semi-pro teams II the
New York management refuses to meet
his demands.
Clarke Griffith received a hard Jolt
when Jack Cheshro announced his de-
termination to quit baseball for the
year. Griff has been counting a great
deal on Chesbro's help this season and
will not let the big fellow get out OF
the game without a fight,
There were times last season when
1t looked as though CHESHIRE had re-
covered his 1901 form, but just as he
seemed to DO going we'll he would blow
up without any apparent reason. Jack
took his defeats very much to heart,
and evidently thinks that 1t Is better
to stop now than to come back and
again be n loser.
Griffith has great confidence In Chess
bro. and will doubtless prevail on hin,
to go South With the team and try
to get back his speed and summing,
EChesbro Will not be asked to do any
work until the hot weather sets In, and
take MS much time as he wants before
going into game,
There Is no question OF salary In
the case; 1t lis simply that Cheshire does
not think that he can make good, and
does not want to impose on Griff o,
Frank Farrell when he can't deliver
the goods.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 2--Minne-

this afternoon by Chicago by score,
of IS to -. ..
1t was a battle of eleven men
against Capron, the mighty kicker of
the Gopher eleven. The Minnesota
team lacked snap and failed to accom-
plish anything against the fast play
and wall-like defense of the Maroons,
Time and again the Minnesotans tri-
ed their utmost to pierce the Chicago
line; play after play was tried, but
in each case the result was defeat
and failure to negotiate the necessary
distance.
Steffens and DeTray played the star
game for Chicago, while Capron and
his good right foot was the whole
thing for Minnesota. All of Minneso-
ta's scores were made by Capron's
drop-kicks, the locals .naver crossing
Chicago's goal line. e y.
In the first half Minnesota scored
first with Capron's kick, while a for
ward pass to Steffens, who made a
beautiful run, negotiated Chicago's in
itial mark, ending the first half: Min

In the second half Minnesota tried
again and again to redeem itself, but

nation. 81
