.'Of course. l want him. said Cantillon.
What do you want for him.

CO. I'll go out to the clubhouse and see If
Clarke is still mad. and If he is I'll tele-
graph you the price,
At 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the tele-
gram arrived naming the price and Man
ager Cantillon lost little time wiring back
his acceptance. With Dreyfuss' telegram
came the notice that Clymer would report
to Manager Cantillon In Philadelphia next
Monday.
This is CIymers third year with Pitts
burg. In 1905 both Pittsburg and Phila-
delphia laid claims to his services He
was then with Buffalo in the Eastern
League. This contention resulted in the
Phillies turning over Clymer and Del
Howard to Pittsburg IN exchange for First
Baseman Bransfield and Substitute Kruger.
Clymer did we'll with the Pittsburgs in
1905 and at the start of the season of 1905
broke his ankle at Cincinnati and was out
of the game for the better part of the year.
This season Clymer has been going well,
but he has hasty temper and the quarrel
with Clarke followed. He is built on the
lines of Altizer and also bats left handed.
Cantillon knew Clymer's worth and also
had Ganley to back up the good opinion.
He is exceptional in his habits having
never tased drop of liquor in his life.
At the wind up Of the telephone CONVERSE
ton between Dreyfuss and Cantillon the
Bob Ganley for you. Neither one would
play their best here. but you seem to be
able to get everybody to do their best"

that keeps him at home, while the other
players are off on a months trip. Charley

Mil covered left field. and the change
worked all right.
Manager LaJoie went through the entire
series of four games without a HIT his
work yesterday being of a freakish order.
He hit the ball on the nose every time. but
out of FIVE turns at the plate he sent four
flies to Nil. and then wound up his days
work with a fly to Charley Jones. Larry
was all right at second, accepting all his
chances in his usual masterful style. but
his batting average suffered on his visit to
this city.
The Cleveland club pulled out for home

Both sides placed double-play to their

the pitcher stepped on the third baSeman's
left leg and gave him slight cut with the
spikes. The bruise was patched up last
night by the trainer, and Del felt none
the worse for the accident.
Mac Heydon pulled off a grand catch in
the ninth inning, when he held on to Sto-
Wallis high foul. which came down near the
Cleveland bench. Heydon had quite long
run for him, and had to wade through sew
