MINORS IN CHICAGO
American Association Fran
chise Goes to Callahan.
MERRY WAR NOW PROMISED
Major Leagues Expected to Fight
for Their Territorial Rights,
which They Believe Are Being
InfrinEed Upon by the Invaders.
Minneapolis Club strengthened.


SPECIAL to The Washington Herald
Chicago. H., Dec. 1.-THE American As
sociation has decided to invade Chicago.
Hints which first began to circulate Oc-
tober Is. took tangible form to-day in a
meeting at the KaiserhOf Hotel, when
Jimmy Callahan. proprietor of the Logan
Squares, semi-pros, accepted the Chi
cagO franchise Of the association. Presi-
dent Joseph O'Brien, of the association:
President NJ. Z. Cantillon. Of the Mime
apols Club. and President Havenor. of
the Milwaukee Club, attended the meet
ing. President O'Brien. acting for Presi-
dent George +. Lennon, of the ST Paul
Club. offered that organization TO Gala
han. Il includes forty men. and with his
own strong squad TO choose from in addi-
tion, Callahan will be able to select an
unusually strong club.
The association magnates believe there
will be no war. They argue that a team
on the North Side VIII not interfere with
either Of the major league teams here.
They do not fear their organization will
be declared outlaw, as war would be an
expensive thing, and that there would
be contract jumping and other ugly fea-
lures.
Will Fight Outlaws.
Notwithstanding this optimistic view. it
Is likely there will be the merrlest sort
of war with Chicago as the storm center.
Callahan is an outlaw, and the national
commission refused to reinstate him when
Comiskey wanted TO sign him. Since that
time he has operated an outlaw team.
Both major leagues are jealous of their
territorial rights. and will probably make
II interesting for the association.
Joe Cantillon has decided 10 strengthen
his Minneapolis team by sending era
ham. Block. and O'Brien. and perhaps
another man as well, TO the Millers. Ii
Is said other important changes are pend
ing
With Callahan's strong bunch. the con
test in the association will be hotter
than ever. and Minneapolis is preparing
Tor an early start in the game

DEFENDS HIS ARMAMENT.
Roger Bresnahan Can See No Obicc-
ton to Shin Guards for Catcher

New York, NAY l9.-Roger Bresna-
han. one Of the Giants catchprg. does
not take seriously the promised formal
protest Of Manager Fred Clarke. of the
Pirates, on the matter Of Bresnahan
wearing cricket shin guards in a ball
game
II cannot be said that Roger looks
quite artistic with this latest addition
70 his armor. All that he would need
to make him appear like a knight or
old. would be for him 20 get a long
lance In his right hand. His big mitt.
his chest protector. his mask. and his
shin guards carry out the illusion IN all
other particulars.
Clarke is using his bonnet for
megaphOne when he registers a kick on
these shin things said Bresnahan. Il
can be bOwlcd over just as easily with
these things on my legs as without
them. The only difference is that an
unfrieudly meeting with a pair Of
spikes viii not cost me the loss Of
quart or two Of blood. as IL would have
done at times when ] played b3ckstOp
with nothing 10 protect my shauks but
a pair Of stockings. This new arrange
ment Of mine is simply meeting the ex-
igeucy Of spikes with a rubber protec-
t0r-and il seems 20 me that it is no
more illegiumate for me TO protect my
self with shin guards than it Is for base
runners 20 threaten me with spikes.
can't see where President Pulliam can
deprive me Of my protection Really
] believe I ought to have a Red Cross
or a Carnegie medal for inventing
something that will keep catchers out
Of the hospitals il the future"
