WHAT TAD JONES HAS.
It Is Synovitis of the Sacro-Ihac-Svn- chondrosis. But He is Getting We'll.

Tad Jones, Yale's noted quarter back is getting along nicely in St Vincent's hospital, where he has been for two weeks undergoing treatment for synovitis of the sacroiliac syn chondrosis. To get nearer to the lay mans understanding, the ailment is an inflammation in the neighbOrhoOd of the base of the spine, a trouble in the joint, caused probably by sprain in the course of Jones's active Ath- letis career. Something happened to the joint and now rest is required and treatment to allow the injury to heal.
 "Feeling fine" said Jones recently to a visitor. T am having the time of my life. I don't know when have enjoyed anything as much as just ly- ing in bed and with nothing to worry me. Everything is pleasant here, and my nerves, as well as the specific trouble that brought me here are bene- fiting."
 Jones expects to be in the hospital about week longer, when he will go to his home in Excello, Ohio, for his N- to Yale few days before college opens and take bis examinations. He doesn't recall any particular happen hg that originated the trouble in the iCh,t. but the ailment is one of sev- eral y>qrs standing.
 "Yes, . expect to play baseball as usual next spring." said Jones in re- sponse to question. "I'll take a chance and play in straps made es- pecially for me, in the big games at least. The smaller games will prob ably keep out of. Up to the time I decide to go to the hospital 1 had ex- pected to play hockey this winter. I'd liked to have played 1t. I can skate some and have often wanted to play some other sport besides baseball and football just to see how they go."
 The patient laughed over the story that he had laid down the law to the coaches between the halves in the Yale Princeton game and refused to continue unless allowed to run the team his own way. As a matter of fact I didn't say anything" he ob- served. ''and not much was said to me-" Jones was still more amused when told of some rOmances to the ef- feet that between the halves the Yale players were bundled into automO- piles. motoFed to another field some distance away, and there put through a series of formations. "Where in the world do all these yarns originator he asked.

 Pitcher Red Donohue, who is on the Detroit list. will get back into the game next year. His idleness in 1907 may result in the loss of his skill, just as Rusie did, but Donohue believes otherwise.
 There will be three Cy Youngs in the big leagues next season. Cy I. of the Boston Americans, Cy II of the Boston Nationals and Cy III of Pitts burg. The last named is from Wich- ita. and once was tried by Jim Me l Aleer.

sale is open to considerable question and is the first warning sign that Dowd has started out to fulfill his contract with the Hartford manage ment to produce a pennant winner for the Connecticut capital at any cost. Fred Wlnkler of the Holyoke club said that some action relative to the sale would be made this week.
 There are number of incidents in connection with the deal that would tend to arouse suspicion that it was cooked up in advance with the object of robbing Holyoke of the league"s leading slugger and strengthening the Hartford team. Hugh Duffy, the Providence manager, is personal friend of Dowd and they hobnobbed together in the big leagues several seasons ago. Several other Eastern league managers besides Duffy were aware of Burke's heavy hitting last season and Rochester was anxious to get him. But Duffy was first in the field and filed notice of the draft the first day that the Class A clubs were allowed the drafting right after the major leagues. The check to close the deal was sent to the Holyoke club some days later.
 Now, here is where the dinge ap- pears in the winters kindlings. Duffy dropped down to New York while the big magnates were in session and claimed to receive tip that Burke would not do in Eastern league con- pany. So he decided to sell him to his old pal, Tommy Dowd. The move is recognized here as shrewd one and it is not thought that Holyoke can do anything, for no one is more thorough ly grounded in baseball law and pro- cedure than Tommy Dowd and he is aware of every move that the Holyoke club is making.

tionals, will retire from the diamond next season, according to statements of his friends. He' has been one or the star twirlers of the Pirates ever since the consolidation with the Louisville club at the close of the sea- son of 1899.
 There is a strong probability that the Hartford club will lift the sus- pension of Heinie Gastmyer, who jumped to the outlaw Atlantic league near the close of last season. Tom Dowd has a chance to use him in trade and has asked Owner J. H. Clarkin to relent and whltewash Heine of his baseball sins.
 Jacob c. Morse, for number of years the baseball expert on the Boston Herald, was also an applicant for the New Haven franchise. MT Morse was willing to pay the sum asked and he had it too, but before the deal was completed he made a business engagement that kept him ID Boston and he abandoned the scheme.
 Continuous baseball for Los An- geles and possibly Portland or Oak land with the desirability of having A six team organization is the present line of contention of fans of the Pa cific coast league territory. Los An- geles followers of the great American game want continuous baseball and in order to secure it two more teams must be added to the league.
 Leonard, the outfielder that Man. ager Clarkin supposed he engaged last season at the time that Hartford had a slump and was short handed, was heard from yesterday. He is en- gagged with his brothers in one Of the | largest fish markets in Boston. He says that he will probably run an in- dependent team in Boston so he can keep track of his fish business.
 McGraw thinks Billy Keeler will come back next season and hit 300. Billy did a great stunt against Washington once," said McGraw,
 making the round of the circuit on
 a single, was on first base at the
 time, and scored from that station, no one expecting me to pass third. l But I kept on and slid in under Mc- Guire. Keeler kept on, too, and
 while the deacon was arguing with i the umpire he slid home. guess
 that was bad base running.
 The Brooklyn Nationals have pur- chased from Pittsburg the release of Third Baseman Tommy Sheehan. Sheehan was secured from the Pa eific coast two years ago by the Pr
 ates and has been used as utility in- fielder. Sheehan will be made the regular third baseman of the Su. perbas. while Jimmy Casey will fil
 the utility role. John Hummell is booked to play left field regularly un' less Brooklyn should buy George Browne from the New York Giants.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
LIGHT BUT FAST.
Holy Cross Basketball Team Shows
 Much Promise.

Worcester, Dec 17.--The basket ball game scheduled here Saturday night between Holy Cross college and Boston college was called off when word was received from the Boston management that internal dissensions would prevent the regu- lar five from playing. As the notice was received too late for Manager Flaherty to arrange another game, the team was forced to lay off.
 From appearances the team looks good to win back the high position Holy Cross formerly held in New England basketball circles. The team is very light, but exceptionally speedy, and this more than offsets its lack of beef. In Stevens and Dowd, Holyoke boy, the team has two college forwards as good as any in New England, both being very skillful on the floor. Casey, who has the center position, looks little weak on caging baskets, but is a tower of strength at defense, and in the passing game Barry and Calla- han are first choices as backs, but O'Neil, another Holyoke boy, is giv- ing Callahan hard rub. However, all three are light, and this compels Holy Cross to play both backs in the backfield all the time. An effort is being made to induce Jack Carney, the big first baseman, to come out for the backfeld.
 The track team has regular prac- tice four times a week, no practice being held on the regular half holi- days. The most of the work being done now is confined to cross-coun- try running. A four mile course has been mapped out around the college, and over this Captain Foley leads the squad every day practice Is held. The squad out now consists of Foley, Rotchford, Hasset, Decker, Coggs- well, Staunton and Mains.
 There is a possibility of dual meet in January, but the first sched- uled meet is the B. A. A. games at Boston, February l. Holy Cross will enter relay team and several men in the open events. The real training will not begin until after the Christmas holidays, when large squad will be called out.
 Manager Thomas Burke is still hard at work on the base ball sched- ule and promises to have it ready for publication after the holidays. The squad will be called out little ear Her this year, about the middle of January, on account of the southern trip, which will be made about the latter part of March.

WILD BILLS FREAK.

Perhaps no pitcher in the country was more in the eyes of the public last year than Bill Donovan. Despite his greatness, Donovan has his pet superstition, and it cropped out in the very first game he worked last sea son. Donovan has a dread of work ing in shut-out games on his first ap- pearance He believes it a season hoo doc, and would do almost anything to prevent it. Hughey Jennings saved Donovan until the hot weather last season. Not until June rolled around did Hughey ask Donovan to take his turn on the rubber. The day was warm and Donovan felt fit. He in- formed Jennings that he thought he could deliver. Bill had everything he ever had, and a little bit more, but he was wilder than western bron- cho. In the first eight innings he gave as many passes, two in one in- ming, but either great pitching or fielding would always prevent Wash ington from scoring. Umpire Evans worked that day, and noticed that Dill oteAeu tO leL up III thc Hlnth' also that he used nothing but q straight fast ball. A pass, an error and a cracking hit by Charlie Hick- man sent couple of tallies over the pan. After the game was over Evans bumped into Donovan on his way to the clubhouse and remarked to him:
 ''What was the matter? Did you lose your stuff in that last inning ?"
 No, guess not" replied Bill, "but I have no desire to win a shut-out game right off the reel, Shut outs on our debut are not lucky" continued Bill as he hiked for the dressing room.

Charlie Keith, the left handed pitch- CT of Little Rock, who has been draft ed by the St Louis Americans, is looked upon as the luckiest of all play CTS in the business.
 He is a student at Oxford univer- sity, England, having won one of the Rhodes scholarships in Arkansas, his native state. He recently left for Eng land.
 He is allowed $3,OO0 a year for pur- suing his studies and $100 a month during vacation. The St Louis club will pay his transportation over, and in addition to his S100 a month spend- ing money will pay him $450 month for playing ball. Pretty hard to beat that.
