THE EFFORT TO LAND HUGH JEN- NlNGS FOR $25,ooo MEETS WITH FAlLURE-HIeHLANDERs MUST WIN A RAG.

New York. August 2S.-It has leaked out that Ban B. Johnson, president of the American league. was a recent wis itor to New York. Ban gum-shoed into town and out again without tipping off his mission to the scribes. He was in conference with President Frank Far ren of the New York American league team.
 The American team management has made no statement, nor will it discuss the matter. But it all lends color to the statement made by Farrell to a friend that he was searching for a new manager, and had an eye on Hughey Jennings of the Detroit Tigers. MT. Far rell is quoted as saying that he would give s25, 900 for Jennings release. He regards Hughey as the best club man ager on earth and would gladly part with the sum named to secure his contract now held by the Detroit club. The con- ference, it is stated, had mainly to do with this subject Should negotiations to secure Jennings fail it may be stated on reliable information that George Stall ings will take hold of the Yankees next year It is further stated that Stallings and Johnson have patched up their griev- anees and that the pair have been closet ed at local headquarters within the week.
 Of course, until Mir Farrell decides to talk there will be many a hap-hazard guess as to next years pilot Almost every one has been suggested for the position from Ned Hanlon to George Da-

wis; but stallings is the favored man, since he has always made good as a leader-if his differences with Johnson are forgotten.
 Ban is anxious to have a winner in Gotham. It has been his one great am- bition since the American league started to buck the Polo grounds club. The sad and sorry showing of the Yankees this year has been a dreadful blow to the junior major league. And, with the Giants in a fair way to win another pen nant it is felt that if the American league patronage Is to be retained there nothing but flag winner will do. John- son has been very busy since the slump of the Yankees in assisting MT. Farrell to land material for his club, but the task Is a hard one none of the rivals feel like giving anything up.
 George Stallings is the next manager of the New York club" declared Presi- dent Navin of the Detroit team. We wouldn't part with Jennings for twice the amount mentioned and Frank Far rell has too much sense to expect us too. He knows his business. He maintains that Stallings is a better man than any other leader in the American league. He argues that he beat both Jennings and Billy Murray in the Eastern league Stall ings is already building up team for New York next year His appointment is cut and dried, l understand This talk of Jennings Is nonsense, although it is interesting, of course, to know that he is appreciated around the league"
 Jennings, in Washington, said T don't think Mir Navin would sell my contract for that or any other price. l really would not like to leave Detroit now. The people there have treated me well and I think it has a great future as ball town. It's present team is mostly young and will be up among the winners for at least five or six years to come, and as every man likes to work with a win ner l would not care to branch out else where at this time"

August 2s.-For the third time in the history of the assoeia- tion and the second at the Myopia Hunt club, the open golf championship of p holes resulted today in a tie and tomor- row Willie Smith, of Mexico and Fred Macleod of the Midlothian Country club of Chicago, who ended the fourth round this afternoon with 322 strokes apiece, will play IS holes for the title, the pos session of the championship cup and s45O, of which $500 will go to the winner. The other prize winners of the day with their scores were as follows:

and seventh money, Hutchinson and Bar rett eighth and ninth, and Kimball and McNamara split up the tenth prize of s20
 Owing to an error by the scorer, Gill bert Nichols, of Tedesco, who was tied with John Jones for fifth place, was dis qualified, but the officials decided that he was not at fault and commended his action in noting the error by giving him S65, which he would have won.
 The great contest between Willie Smith and Macleod was the feature of the championship and proved vastly exciting, especially in the afternoon when the two men were never more than stroke or two anart in their scores MacLeod's great uphill fight which began at the very start in the morning, when Smith was five strokes ahead of him and ended with their being on even terms late in the afternoon, will have a niche by Itself in golfing circles. The two players drove steadily, approached surely and putted with a precision that resulted in two or the best scores of the championship.

They tried to hand him to Cincinnati but neither President Hermann nor Manager Ganzel cared to accent. though Manager McGraw said he would want very little in exchange; in fact. offered to let the Red Chief name ,,is own terms "McGinnity has been a grand worker in his day." said MT Herr mann. "but he is not the kind of player we are looking for to help build up our team. We want to try out some Of our youngsters this fall and there is no use Of our wasting time with a veteran like McGinnity" Manager Ganzel was of pre- cisely the same opinion, so McGlnnity left on the present trip with the Giants
