ERCURY WAS Is BELOW
ZERO THIS MORNING -!
Coolest Since Ian. 18, 1893, When
It Was 26 Degrees Below.

When Oakland awoke this morning
her residents with one accord sought
the thermometer to learn whether or
not the mercury had become chilled and
refused to work, the air being so cold
and penetrating that one was inclined
to believe that the improbable had oc-
Cured.
1t was with thankfulness, however,
when the readings of the gauge showed
twenty-five degrees below zero, which
is the record breaker for cold since jan
uary 18th, 1893, when the thermometer
registered &c degrees below.
Indications point to another cold night
tonight, but all are hopeful that the
mercury will stay in sight.

captain and manager of the Browns next

saws George Browne. Il can play just
as good ball in one city as in another"
That's the way to feel about it.
The Cleveland clubs claims that the
other American League owners have
formed combination to keep it from
obtaining the players it is after.
Ned Hanlon said to George Dovey at
the New York meeting: You now have
real ball team for 1908. Your deal with
the Giants was a most advantageous one
for Boston"
The San Francisco correspondent of the
Sporting News declares emphatically that
Hal Chase is still playing ball with the
San Jose team of the outlaw California
State League, and that Jimmie McHale,
who is claimed by the Boston Americans,
is playing with Stockton in the same
league.
NJ. f. Cantillon gobbled up three good
men at the recent meeting, and it was
cash on delivery. There is no chance I'M
der present baseball conditions to borrow
players and then turn them back at the
end of the season. Therefore, Mike Can
tillon is not combining his attentions to
the Washington club. He has several
deals practically completed. but it would
not be safe to make any announcements
until waivers have beer secured. Tho
best feature of it all is that when Min
neapolis gets any of these men it will be
case Of real ownership.

RISE OF BONHAG.
The Leading Long Distance Runner
of America.

The rise of George V. Bonhag to ath-
letic greatness has been the result of hard
work and careful study. Many athletes
are termed great" but few deserve IT.
To be n great athlete, a man must be able
to do a record in his speciality. and by his
wonderful four-mile record run, in winch
he eclipsed Willie Days long-standing
American record, Bonhag has justly earn
cd the title of great"
While Ronhag ran some slashing races
before that time. he may be truly said to
have learned to rur at the Olympic games
at Athens last spring. Before that time
the crack indoor runner. like most Amerl-
can distance men, depended upon his nm
iSh rather than running ''all the way to
win his races After seeing Lieut. HaW-
trey and other crack Englshmen run >at
Athens. Bonhag figured out that tnelr
ability lay in be ing able to make the race
from start to finish. and in conversation
lust after the big meet said:
when you see Bonhag in race after
this you will see him racing in the leaG
up with any grand-stand sprint" BonhaS
has followed up the first part of his pro-
gram, but he has retained the sprinting
finish in spite. of the fact that he goes
along at a merciless clip In the early
stages of the race.
Since Athens every distance race In
which Bonhag has started has been
siZZler right from the gun. In going four
or five miles he passes the two-miic post

ELIGIBILITY RULES
To Do Away With Criticism, Are

Carlisle. Pa, Dee 19.-In order %

a measure put Carlisle right where any
apprehension may exist.

President Dewey Of Boston Has
GrIp---Giants Sign Players.
American League Waivers Soon to
Be Announced...0ther Matters.

To sone extent the new outlaw
league is the outgrowth of the success
OF the Atlantic League. This organi2a-
ton, after at first making application
for the protection, took offense when
the territorial rights To Wilmington
and Trenton We're granted to the Tri-
state League ard decided to go it alone.
/ Having had a successful season, Mr..
Lawson and some of his hackers de-
cided to make the experiment of build
X ing up a stronger circuit.
I'VE did not decide to enter Philadel-
phia with any thought Of doing any
damage to either of the strong clubs
that worthily represent the city now
said President Lawson, in explaining
the position of his organization. for it
stirred UP a new interest in the nation
al game, and the receipts for the last
five years were never so great. A big
city doesn't limit its theaters To two. 1t
is the nature of the sportsman to love
variety. If the Philadelphia Union
League club plays good ball it cannot
be kept out of its share of the patron
are.
Our club will not be sectional. 1t
will represent the entire city, we hope,
with credit We are still two cities shy.
and Wilmington and Elizabeth are
anxious to be admitted. l do not know
what will be decided. The league has
empowered me at the next meeting to
make report on conditions in the
numerous towns that have announced
fhair loci Two 10 not frn
1.-The National League used to urge
that there wasn't room for two clubs
in such cities as Philadelphia. Chica-
go. Boston, New York, ST. Louis. etc.
The success of the American League
exploded that idea, and far from hurt
ing the older organization, the rivalry
really did it good.
In our league we shall have no sal
airy limit. A man can hire just as cost
ly players as he wants to pay for. We
will not have a reserve rule, which we
consider I'M American, because 1T de-
MES a man the right to pick his own
employer, and also holds him to club
year after year and gives him no right
10 protect himself against being traded.
All our contracts will be for one year.
and at the end of each the men are free
to sign with other clubs if they can DO
better.
mo man who jumped contract with
the Atlantic League will be eligible TO
play in the Union. Our season VIII be-
gin on May | and end on Oct. l. The
relations between the Union and At
lantic Leagues will be the closest. Read
ing fans probably will have I" choose
between three clubs-Union. Atlantic,
