As was announced in these columns yes
terday q trade Of John Anderson for
George Stovau is pending between Wash
ington and Cleveland, and the deal may
be put through to-day before the clubs
leave Washington.
Anderson Is useless 50 far as the Ma
uonals are concerned, as he made up his
mind never to play here again and has
gone SO far as to say that he IS through
with baseball
StOValFs attack upon Lajoie at Philadel-
phia was Of such nature that il is
doubtful il that player viii ever again be
a valuable asset 10 Cleveland.
Both players are too good to go 70
waste. and a transfer would be a good
thing for both men. AS they are under
suspension. It is a pretty delicate PROPOSE
ton 70 get them back into good standing;
but II both clubs can reach an agreement
on the subject OF a swap It is believed
that all other matters can be adjusted.
You can take this from me and make
il as strong as you like" said Manager
never play in another game of ball for
Cleveland SO long as am manager. That
goes.
''StOvalPs friends can run around CleVe-
land till their tongues hang out starting
an agitation fOr q new manager. It all
cuts no ice with me. No man can say %
me and do 10 me what he did and said
and set away with IL I don't want any
apology from him and would not accept
one We're it offered"
Wet grounds caused q postpOnement OF
yesterdays game, so the Nationals and
Maps viii wind up their series this after
noon. The game Will be called at $3.50
O'clock. Charley Smith and Bernhard
VIII probably be the opposing pitchers.
Immediately after to-days game the
Nationals viii leave for St Louis They

Manager Cantillon has obtained another
pitcher who has a great record In a
bush league in Francis, a leIt-hander.
who has been pitching for Wausau IN the
Wisconsin State League. Some time ago
CanulIon's attention was called TO Fran
els. and after watching the record Of
the pitcher for a couple Of weeks the
local manager decided 20 get him. The
deal was closed yesterday, and Francis
has been ordered 10 join the Nationals
at Chicago Friday.

the Marunsburg CIV. Va independent

gramme, and both VIII De in uniform this
afternoon. Neither is likely 10 get into
the game UDsA ne has had considera-
bic practice visa the club, and Cautillon
has had ah opportunity to watch him

runs in his final game with AIartinsburg.
and, II size counts for anything, he GER
tainly ought 20 make good, for he is sev-
eral inches over six feet. and tips the
beam around 200 pounds.
Cantiion yesterday received a letter
from Jack Warner, n which the catcher
said his injured finger IS stu in pretty
West with the club, but will report mere
on August o. Eddie Heydon and Jim
Block VIII do the backstopping while the
team IS on the road.
The latest con" to reach Washington is
that the American League is going to
place a team in Brooklyn. Some one
dreamed that in East New York. He
passed it out among the Brooklyn fans.
who believe the Dodgers stu have a
chance TO win the pennant This Is how
It was 70 be done:
Brooklyn has a strong team in the At
lantic League. The Atlantics have a con-
pie Of exceptionally good players. They
have been making money. The story
Went that Brooklyn was 70 forget its
membership in the Atlantic League; that
the Washington Americans were 20 be
taken over and braced up a bit with
the crack players Of the Atlantic team.
Then Brooklyn would have a pennant
winner.
Nothing 10 IT," said Cantillon. IT'S a
dream Take this from me and put IL in
your book, The American League never
warrant an American League team in
Brooklyn. To place a team there the
American League would have 70 violate
its agreement with the National League.
The leagues are going along smoothly
now, and neither cares to stir UP any
trouble Thus endeth the pipe yarn, bat
the Brooklyn Atlantic League team looks
like winner, something none Of the
other Gotham mines resemble, so the
laugh is not all on one side.
Manager Lajoie has not given up hope
OF winning the pennant. and thinks, with
Bradley back in the game Cleveland
may have a chace.
Bradley has so far recovered that he
Is able to be out OF the house. and may
start playing sooner than the 18th Of this
month. With the old lineup working and
the club az home twenty-three games in a
row, the Maps should regain some OF the
ground lost during the present slump.
While Cleveland IS gradually dropping
cut OF the race, the Athletics are closing
up on the league leaders, and Mack's team
looks more ike a pennant possibility.
Three weeks ago The Washington Herald
pointed out the fact that the Philadelphia
team was coming strong. and, with ell
the good pitchers n trim, had a mighty
fine chance OF making the Sox hurry. At
the present time Philadelphia IS only a
few points from the Lead.
The Athletics now have thsir fuii

Jimmy Collins at third and sending Old
