BASEBALL NOTES.

Manager Stallings of the New York Americans had a confab with President Hanlon of the Baltimore club yesterday, but had nothing to say for publication Hanlon sold Shortst0p Knight to the Highlanders last fall and declares that this young player will be an agreeable surprise to local fans next year.
 Will Bresnahan make good as manager? Many baseball men think that he will and give as a reason that he is a fighter, a great player, an intelligent student of the game and q clever judge of human nature. But in getting Bresnahan the St Louis National league club has dealt the Cardinals a hard blow in surren- dering Raymond, Murray, Karger and either Fromme or Lush. BreS- nahan will probably catch as many games as possible. He will prove big drawing card, especially at the Polo grounds.
 The impression has prevailed that Pitcher Warhop, secured last fall from the Tri-State league by the New York Americans, is a full blood ed Indian, but it turns out that such is not the case Warhop is all as sumed name which the young man took when he was pitching for an Indian team. The tWirler is a plucky Irish American who answers to the name of Flynn and who is regarded as a cOmer In the Tri-State last year he won twenty-nine games and lost seven, and Catcher Jack Klci- now. who handled his curves here last fall, said yesterday that he had never seen more promising young pitcher. Kleinow also thinks that the other youngsters, Pitcher Will son and Second Baseman Gardner, will be stars on the hilltop next sea son.

ANOTHER ENGLISHMAN WON.

Philadelphia, Dec 16.-liarry Mansfield, the English welterweight, outpointed Billy Clark, a local boxer, last night in six fast rounds at the Douglas A. C. The Englishman was Clarks superior physically and had the better of the argument in every round, his blows to his opponent S face making it bear a resemblance to a beefsteak. The local boy was game all through, however, and came back at Mansfield in the fourth and fifth rounds, landing some stiff hody jolts. His punches lacked stHam, however, and did not seem to male much of an impression on the muscu lar EngliShman.
 In the semi wind-up young Pete! Maher knocked out Bob Evans ia the first minute of fighting

THE WORLDS SERIES.

A report is current among major league men that the worlds series may be abolished next year. IL was said yesterday that when the mag mates meet for the schedule sessions in Chicago in February a determn- ed effort will be made to get a mo- tion through to do away with the series. Those who are opposed to the games will use as an argument that the recent ticket scandal and the demands of the players for more money have not benefited the game at all. Those who favor a continuation of the series say that il might be well to limit the amount of money to be received by single player to $500. IL looks as if some of the magnates wanted to pocket the bulk of the worlds champion ship receipts themselves, which is not at all surprising, as many club owners in years gone by have. been noted for their greediness.

WRESTLING
Swanson and Welt Are in Great Shape For Their Battle on
 the Mat Thursday Night.

| Ed Levasseur, who Is managing | 'Cyclone' Morin of Fall River, the hying French wrestler. is q pretty roxy manager at that. Word was sent him the other day that the rec ord of Morin would be pleasing news to the lovers O. wrestling in this city but that record will not be lCl thcom Ing. Leyasscur says that he is not going to give Alex Swaas0n q line on his man until they mee. on the mat and then Swanson can judge for him sell He says he knows what Alex swanson is and he also knows what his man Morin is. He claims that some months ago ho brought over to Naugatuck chap named Duchesne, but he was in poor condition and too light for Swanson This time he asserts he will bring a man who will be heavy enough and clever enough TOT MT Swanson and those who go to see the match will get their mon ey's worth.
 But this letter does not terrify Alex Swanson in the least He be- lleVeS he knows what Morin is ca pable of doing and he will go him Just one better. Swanson is getting into great shape and his bouts with Welt have given him just the oppor- tunity he was seeking. that of break Ing the locks of L strong man. He knows that Morin is not in Walt's class, so far as strength is concern ed and he does nOt believe :nere is any man on the mat to-day, who knows moro about .he game than he does himself He will be prepared to call Mir LevaSseur's bluff on Thurs day night, when they meet in Con cordia hall. In tne meantime Welt and MOntagnu are in the pink of condition for their set-to and that will be a hummer and no mistake. It will be slashing affair and ono man must succumb to the grueliEg he will receive from the other. The tickets are selling well and ConuOl- dia hall should be crowded to the doors on Thursday evening.

Little Johnny Evers, idol of the Chicago baseball fans. demon second sacker for the champion Cubs, is out with new one. or two new ones, correctly speaking. First, he is to enter the field of journalism and will be an editor, real live, bona fide news rusher, and, second. he will sign up for life by taking on better half. It was a sad blow 10 his moss when Johnny imparted ths information. particularly the editor end of it, for Murphy does not like the idea of losing the little play CTS services from the champions. He is little wary of swallowing it as the truth, however, and Evers's friend, Mike Donlin, who is playing theatrical engagement in New York just at present, is openly SkepticaI.

lead of nearly two yards. Longboat had won the pole position and pushed the other so hard in the first few min. utes of the race that at the end of five miles the Dorando-Hayes record for the distance had been beaten by near ly minute.
 Later the men slowed up. and for many miles they kept the same rela- tive position in slower time. Then I0ngDoat spurted and repeated these tactics until they had plainly evi- dent effect upon the Italian.
 Dorando nevertheless held his ad- vantage until the last lap of the four teenth mile. when Longboat took the lead and increased his pace little. He finished the fourteen miles min ute 16 2-5 seconds ahead of the Do- rando Hayes record
 Longboat's effort proved to be spas modic, and Dora ndo easily passed him in the fifteenth mile Longboat show ed signs of fatigue in the seventeenth mile but kept on doggedly within s'LlhilIS ol tldIldH.
 In the twentieth mile Longboat shot ahead and dropped into a natural lope which kept him in the lead for five laps. Then Dorando, amid cheers, forged ahead
 Again in the twenty third the h. dian made d sensational sprint and gained the lead. In the second lap of the twenty-fourth Dorando regained his advantage. Both men moved more slowly and showed weariness. In the beginning of the twenty Long boat sprinted, and the Italian went to the rear. In tho middle of the mile and when quarter of a lap behind Dorando fell tp the track. and it was necessary to pick him up and carry him to his dressing room.

quick move in breaking away from him. Then he frowned as if he was going to cry. He dug the blood out and soon had that smile back.
 He is almost the first man that ever wrestled who did not wear shoes or stockings. Mahmout may lack few holds known to the Ameri- can wrestlers but he makes it up with holds by the use of his feet His legs are Ike iron bands and made of rub Der, from the way they bent
 The latest phase in the wrestling match between George Hacken- schmidt and Gotch is the following: Hackenschmidt declares he is ready 10 meet Gotch in England for the sport of the match alone, leaving out all considerations of the purses. If this fails to secure a match with Gotch in England Hackenschmidt is willing to accept Gotch's conditions for a match in America.

BITS OF SPORT
Called From the Columns of Our

Fritz KlObedanz wants to be an umpire in the New England league next season. and it is believed he will have chance, as every manager except possibly O Brien of Fall River is in his favor. Meantime after the New Bedford polo team gets under way it is possible that Klobedanz may have chance to do some polo refereeing while waiting for gentle spring to appear.
