SULLIVAN LIKES THE REDS.
Baseball Man Thinks He Could Win
Pennant With Cincinnatis.

Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 6-Ted Sullivan,
the baseball man, is in Milwaukee.
When asked regarding the report
from Cincinnati that he is to manage
the Cincinnati baseball club next year
Mr.. Sullivan said:
81 really prefer to remain my own
boss, but now that the matter has been
mentioned I will be candid and say
that If enter the major league again
Cincinnati would be my choice above
all others. With the material on hand
now, and a few to be added, there is no
doubt in my mind that I could develop
the club into a winner. With man
like Garry Hermann to back the club
I would be willing to risk my baseball
on the result"

Louis. and another via Chicago. From
kansas City through Chicago, through
connections will be arranged by the
Chicago & Alton to Chicago and from
Chicago to Buffalo over the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern and
thence to New York over the New
York Central & Hudson River. This,
however, would be a much longer line
than the line from Kansas City to
New York through St Louis. On this
route the Chicago & Alton would be
used from Kansas City to ST. Louis
and from there to Toledo the Glover
Leaf would be used. At Toledo the
connections could be made with the
Lake Shore or Nickle Plate to Buffalo,
the distance in either case being prac-
tically the same. The route could fol-
low the New York Central the balance
of the way to New York.
The latter routing of the trans-con-
tinental line would give a direct line
which would have a mileage of 1,450
miles which is considerably shorter
than any transcontinental routing now
employed. These connections could
easily be made it is understood as the
directors Of all the roads concerned
are friendly.
Another important project which is
planned by the allied Glover Leaf-Al-
ton roads is the purchase of a portion
of the mileage of the Cincinnati,

calf the c. II. E. d. intersects with the
Clover Leaf. The c. Fl. & D. is at
the present time in the hands of re-
cefver and the Glover Leaf is very
anxious to enter Springfield. It is
thought that on this account an agree
ment between the two roads can be
reached Should it fail however the

Johnson as soon as I returned to
