WOLVERTON IS MANAGER.

Harry Wolverton will manage Will. Transport again next year.
 This will be good news to the fans for Wolverton has given Williamsport the best baseball team it ever had and one which could have held its own in the fastest company.
 On Wednesday Wolverton was noti fled by Garry Hermann that all the National league clubs had waived claim on him and he at once started for Williamsport.
 A meeting of the directors was held last evening and WOlverton had the pleasure of joining with the other di- rectors in electing himself manager of the team for 1908.
 Manager Wolverton went over the ground with the directors and showed them what he had been doing in the way of securing players. He has or the reserved list himself, Whalen Gleason, Hennessy. Fleming, Miller Porter and Stansbury. He has under contract several youngsters of good reputation and Harry Kane, the south. paw who finished the season of 1906 with Williamsport and who, with Red Porter will give him too good Jeff handlers for a starter.

"RED sOX" FOR BOSTON.

Boston, Dec 21.-President John I Taylor is on his way to California. He left Boston on the midnight train Wednesday night for New York, and left there for Chicago Thursday. He will meet Manager Jim Mcclure in Chicago for short conference and then start for San Francisco, hoping to reach the Golden Gate before Christmas eve.
 Before leaving MT Taylor selected the uniforms to be used next season, subject to the approval of Man ager Mcclure. President Fay Tor has suggested red stockings to be part of the uniforms and thought the Boston Red Sox" might sound better to the base ball enthusi- asts than the names now used by many, such as "The Pilgrims" "The Yankees" etc. The original Boston team wore red stockings, and MT Taylor's idea is to practically repro duce the old colors.
 Cincinnati has the "Reds," and there have been several Red Stock ing" clubs, but this is the first time any club has taken the name Red Sox."
 It sounds good and the chances are that the veteran Jim Mcclure will, figuratively, eat up the suggestion. The Red Sox" will be a popular name with the Boston fans.

STILL LOOKING FOR MANAGER.

Garry Hermann is still looking for a manager for the Cincinnati Reds. He has been surfeited with applica- tions from all sorts of cranks. One man offers to handle the Reds on a scale of wages: $500 if the team finishes fifth, S1 500 if fourth, s2, 800 if third, $3,SO0 if second and $5,000 if first. He also tells Hermann that he has another scheme by which $100,000 can be made. Another ap- plicant states that he has a mag netic power over ball players, that he is 35 years old, is a wonder at sume the management if Garry will send him transportation and a S1O bill. Hermann has no idea who will manage his team and the Cin- cinnati fans are up in arms. He was evidently afraid to make any deals at the recent league meeting, beliey- ing that an error of judgment would cause some warm criticism for which Porktown is noted. It is believed that when it comes down to cases Hermann will make either John Ganzel or Miller Huggins manager. neither of whom can be compared in point of ability to Edward Han Ian. In view of the fact that Han lon developed such players as Lo- bert. Kane, Mitchell. Mclean and others now considered valuable by Cincinnati critics. it appears to out side judges that the release of Han Ion was a serious mistake. Cincin- nati has not been a success in the base ball world for many years. all though such men as COmiskey. Ew- ing. McPhee. Kelley and HanlOn have managed the Reds in turn. Bali players say that it is impossible to do satisfactory work in Yorktown be- cause of the rabid criticisms hurled at them by persons who do not know that it takes time to develop a win ming team. Hermann is under a SC were handicap because of this fact. so that he cannot be blamed for his present attack of rattles-

POLO NOTES.

That was a fierce battle.
 They did everything but kill each other. .~,~--.-. ,-.-. '..-. Just think of it, Murray got az gressiye enough to have fouls called on him.
 Poor George Bone and Mccarthy. Those innocent chaps were made the butt of Waterbury's aggressiveness. Nice Sunday school boys, according to New Haven reports. ss
 The local managers are trying to get fast man to take LoXson's place until he has fully recovered. That will be a difficult . task until that wabbling Western league collapses, which seems likely now.
 Afraid to tackle Saunders and Wild Charley Farrell, so the New Haven reports said of Holderness and Fahey. It is to laugh. When you get those two local boys afraid of anything then you will see the end of polo.
 Referee DOherty was unable to control the polo players, and in his words of, ''Let them kill each other, y he expressed his capability to quell the tumultous riots which resulted several times during the final period. Only three fouls were called, but they came in such rapid succession in the last stage of the game that Mike was unable to call them.
 The Waterbury players seem to center their attack on New Haven s two lightest men, Bone, who is not in real healthy condition, and Me Carthy, one of the lightest~ men in the business. Why Holderness and Fahey didn't tackle Farrell or Saun- ders is easily seen when the respec- tive ability of these men is consid- cred. Farrell or Saunders would have put them out of the running if they had played the tricky tactics on them that they did on Bone and Me- Carthy. Whenever Mccarthy came near Waterbury player he was thrown aside or held from rushing. Fahey held Mccarthy several times, but Doherty was dreaming or can ceiling fouls.-Journal-Courier.

in general if these naughty boys re- ceive good spanking, just to show them that they are not behaving as they should" continued MT Johnson
 'The American league at its re- cent meeting adopted a resolution against permitting the American as- sociation to place team in Chicago, and that resoIution will bar them out unless they decide to turn out laws-and then they will have to fight
 Tt seems odd to me, however, that men like Cantillon, manager of the Minneapolis club, should tell how he is going to strengthen his team by buying players from Washington. Why doesn't he wait until the Amer ican association breaks away from the national agreement by entering Chicago, and then take all the play. CTS he wants, not only from Wash- ington, but also from other clubs for nothing?'

A BLOW AT POOLRO0MS.
Supreme Court of Connecticut Ruling
 Likely to Cut Off Information.

Stamford, Dec 21.-Galen Carter, assistant states attorney for Fair field county, has just won q notable victory in the supreme court of the state. James F.. Scott was charged with aiding and abetting pOolroom by furnishing a ticker in the alleged poolroom of J. r. Burnham, Bank street, Bridgeport, and the case went to the supreme court by reservation on demurrer
 The defense asserted that furnish ing ticker and racing information was not violation of the law. The supreme court finds that 1t is viola ton of the law and the decision shuts off the poolrooms. of which there are said to be many in Connecticut, from obtaining information of the races.
 Under this decision telegraph and telephone companies may be proceed ed against and punished if it be shown that they knowingly supply such in- formation. Mir Carter believes the decision will do much to break lp the Doolroom evil.

Announcement is made of the com. ing marriage of Patrick F. O'Connor, the popular catcher on the Spring field base ball team for several sea- sons past, to Miss Lizzie NJ.

Mir o'Connor is at present engaged as a clerk in Main street cafe in Spring. field, and has a host of friends there as we'll as in his home town, who will extend congratulations.

will probably give up most of his time to it. Owing to the limited time at the disposal of the directors MT Durant was unable to recite his piece.
 Manager O'Neil of Springfield Is inconsolable over the loss of John Hess and he regrets the fact that Paddy O'Connor is to leave. The Springfield manager formerly had a scheme of releasing men short time before the season closed and GOV cred them up for another season Secretary O'Rourke plugged this scheme and had resolution put through at the. national meeting that prevented any such action.
 Harry w. Moves, the former Hart. ford third baseman and captain, was given fine welcome when he blew in. He will be found with the Bos- ton Red Sox the coming season Moves is living in New Haven this winter. He saId he did not. know when he would report. Manager Dowd of Hartford said he believed that Moves would make good. He has learned to chop the ball like the big leaguers and has got beautiful throwing arm.
 Bill Luby, the Springfield pitcher, and Jimmie Burns, the Pony short stop, were on hand early at the fan ming bee before the big meeting yes terday afternoon. Burns blossomed out as roller polo magnate, as he is running the Meriden team. Dan O'Neil was unable to hitch up with a polo franchise and it was little galling for him to see one of his un- derstrappers around, wearing a mag mates badge. Luby is taking on weight as he has not got his old job of running a bowling alley.
