CONSIDER SELEE
GREAT MANAGER
DEVELOPED FAMOUS CHICAGO
CUB TEAM
Chose the Wonderful lnfsld Which
Fought to Victory Under
Frank Chance last
Year

That Frank Selee is considered the
greatest baseball manager is the almost
unanimous opinion of eastern sporting
editors and writers, and they draw their
conclusions from the way the veteran
manager of the Pueblo. aggregation in
the Western league drew the Chicago
and Boston National teams out of the
slough of defeats to the Top of the
National league when he managed
those clubs
A prominent writer in the east re-
Gently said that Frank Sslee is the
peer of all managers, an while he
gives Frank Chance of til" Cubs the
credit OF being good lea er as well
as top-notCh first 1aseni n, he de-
clares that to Selee belongs the credit
and honor of giving Chicago a cham
pionship club last season.
Chance is a fine player, one of the
best first baseman in the profession,
and a cool-headed leader. But, beyond
capable handling of the Cubs on the
field, the real credit for getting to-
gether the nucleus for a championship
team does not belong to him.
Frank Selee was the man who built
up the National league club in Chicago,
for Selee picked up King. Ruelbach,
Schultz, all great players, who did much
to bring the pennant west last season.
He also made the deal that resulted
in Sheckard and Steinfeldt going to
Chicago.
Ned Hanlon, the man who will try
to build up a winner in Cincinnati this
year out of practically new and mex
perienced material, is known wherever
the national game is played.
IL. -T..,II
lie as player and manager for nearly
twenty-five years. Garry Hermann,
the owner of the Cincinnati club has
given full authority to Hanlon to get
a winner, regardless of cost, and Han
Ion says he will surely make good in
the course of a reasonable amount Of
time.
Fred Clarke of the Pittsburgs is a
veteran. He managed a champion
team in the Smoky city three years
in succession-1901, 1902 and 19O3-but
his playing days are nearly over, and
it will not be a surprise if he sits on
the bench permanently this year.
Clarke at one time was regarded as
a leading left fielder, a fine batsman
and good run getter. He went to
Pittsburg from Louisville as part of
a deal made by Barney Dreyfuss, and
has always been a favorite in Smoke
Vile
Clarke has a well-balanced team this
year and recently made the assertion
that he feared no club in the leagues,
not even the Cubs and the New Yorks.
Another veteran, Fred Tenney, will
handle the reorganized Boston Ma
tionals. Tenney is near the end of
his career as a player. but he can still
play rafting game at first base and
is good sticker.
William Murray from the Jersey City
Eastern league club will handle the
Philadelphia Nationals instead of Hugh
Duffy. Murray for nineteen years has
been manager in the minor league
where he won eight pennants.
St. Louis will have John J. McCloskey
as manager of the Cardinals. McClos-
key was the handler of the Louisvilles
in the old twelve-club circuit at one
time and seemed to be able to dig up
clever players.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April o.
Intense excitement is manifest on the
campus this evening relative TO the
first intercollegiate baseball game of
the season, which occurs between the
Cardinal nine and the University Of
California team tomorrow on the Borkc-
ley diamond.
The coming championship series IS
anticipated with more than ordinary
interest as the title remained Undecided
last spring owing to, the earthquake.
The first game went to Stanford and
the second to California.
For the first time in years Stanford
displayed ability with the stick last
season and pounded the ball in great
shape.
This season Stanford has done moth
ing remarkable With the willow, and
the cardinal win have to do some heavy
sticking during the intercollegiate series
if they expect anything better than d
mediocre batting aYel age.
Capt. George Presley is the only de-
pendable sticker on The team, Fenton
was a mainstay of the team with the
wagon tongue last year, bu he has his
waiting rather than his hatting eye
with him this year, and the little fellow
has been presented with many free trips
TO first by visiting pitchers
Although nearly every game of the
preliminary season has been marred by
glaring errors, the fielding of the team
has been generally high class.
Most of the inheld errors were made
between second and third, and the re-
cent shifting Of CadWalader from short
TO the second cushion, and the return of
Sampson to his old position at short
stop has made a stone wall between
the bases.
In the long grass the players have
shown good judgment throughout the
season. and the team viii be strong
there.

DIAMOND SPORTLETS

Poor "Muggsy" McGraw is ex-
periencing a season of roasting which
would streak with gray the head of a
less determined parsonage. The present
trouble has arisen because McGraw OBJ
! jected to an umpire at New Orleans and
would not proceed with the game. Here
are a few choice McGrawlets which
have appeared of late:
This after "Muggsy' was escorted
away by the police for taunting an UNI
pire al New Orleans
There's only one method of election
that appeals to McGraw, and that is a
No. 10 or No. II boot applied to the por-
ton of ones anatomy particularly
suited for that purpose"
The following whiffs of spice are
found among other peppery sayings
relative to Johns recent activities:
There is nothing so repulsive about
McGraw but McGraw"
'Muggsy McGraw does not need any
spring practice to improve on past per-
formances."
Mike Donlin. according to the latest
report, will leave the Giant team at
New Orleans and cry quits forever,
owing TO quarrel with McGraw.
The irrepressible Donlin had a little
sport at the expense of Wabash college
students recently on his trip to the
south. Mike stopped over at Craw-
fordsville. Ind, for a few days, and to
pass the time away concocted a scheme
with the college ball manager.
Mike was taken out as a raw recruit
and gazed upon condescendingly by the
young players, who felt certain of their
place on the team. When Mike whacked
out few hits interest became more
more manifest. Finally Mike was or
dered to take the outfield.
To say the collegians were astonished
would be putting it mildly. Mike did
few wonderful stunts with one hand
which drove the youngsters crazy Pre-
! dictions were rife as to what would be-
come of opposing college teams once
the newcomer was let loose Mike
! skipped out of town with no one the
wiser, and there is great sorrow down
at Wabash.
Reports are that Connie Mack's Phila-

ready to hit a fast clip. Waddel, Ben

summer, at least. The reason for this

improvements are to be added to the
gymnasium equipment this year. One
improvement contemplated by Prof.
Mitchell is the opening of the room at
the head of the stairs Oh the main.

room. in which to keep souvenirs of
Whitman's athletic provinces. This
has never been done, Mr.. Mitchell con-
templates using it for a reception
room. The floor of the main room will
be gone over and put in better shape

summer was remarkably cools but
August is always expected to show off

line of dishing up hot weather, but
this year was an exceptional one and
there was little hot weather through
out the month.
Only one day did the thermometer
get above the century mark. On Au-
gust 1 the mercury registered 1O2, but
that was the only hot day August fur
nished for the summer. The nearest
approach to this was record of 94
on the next day. Only one other day,
August %, did the thermometer get
above 80 degrees.
But there were cool days and lots
of them The lowest temperature re-
corded was that of August 81, when
the thermometer got down to Al de-
grees and came dangerously near the
frost line. The mean temperature for
the month was 67.9. There was a great
variety of weather in some of the
days, one for instance showed varia-
ton of Sc degrees in temperature.

GLASS GIVEN
FIVE YEARS
San Francisco BOOd|er is
Stunned by Sentence

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Louis
Glass was today sentenced by Judge
Langdon to five years Imprisonment in
the state penitentiary at San Quentin.
The court in passing sentence said:
There are two general considera-
tions pending upon the mind of the
court in determining the measure of
punishment in this case. First, it turns
upon the situation of the defendant
himself. The man is we'll advanced in
years and has appeared charged for
the first time with the commission Of
public offense. The other considera-
tion is the nature of the offense; its
effect of the criminal transgression on
the institutions of the country itself.
Certainly, this, rather than the extent
of the punishment, should control.
Weighing both considerations the
court has reached a conclusion as
to the measure of punishment which
it feels to be both just and fair un-
der all the circumstances presented.
Louis Glass, it is the judgment of law
ard the sentence of this court that
you be confined in the state prison OF
the state of California at San Quen-
tin for term of five years.
For some moments after the sem
tence Glass stood as stunned.
