The evening world. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1887-1931, 1908-12-08

NA/ morrow-and mayhap longcr-the
" genus wise-Guy OF Baseballor-
ium. Habitat: the hotel corridor He
is SO peculiarly constructed as to be able
to bury himself in Waldorf chair in
range of fair-sized cuspidor. and
would not be discernibe but for the
light on the end OF his burning weed.
He bursts into bloom once in year,
and this happens to De the season, for
II is well known that the baseball world
has moved into New York and is now
engaged In triangular session.
The Wise-Guy of the corridor is a very
useful plant. He can give off more
baseball fragrance in fifteen minutes
than all the magnates would care to un-
dertake in a week. Thus It is that we
are blessed with the following informa-
ton, to wit:
Frank Bowerman has been selected to
succeed Joe Kelley as manager OF the
Boston National League team. and IT
can be truthfully said that Owner
Dovey made no mistake In giving the
big Michigander a chance.
The revolutionary Eastern League and
American Association have submitted
their demands to the National Commits
I sion and will be given an answer on
/ Wednesday.
| The National League will meet In
| deadly session at the WaldoTf-Astoria
I Hotel this afternoon.
The American League will meet TO-
morrow at the more modest Hotel Wal
colt with even less TO 90 than the Ma
tional as the members thereof will not
be required to dress de r!guer for dinner
In the mean time the magnates are
spending their time at the six-day race
and recount!ng IN vivid style the great
est spitball they saw pitched during the
recent season.
AS neither o. the New York clubs has
an axe TO grind in the winter league.
the situation that is most interesting to
the local talent Just now is the demands
OF HE Eastern League and the Amer
can Association. who are clamoring 10
get a seat at the first table.
When Pat Powers and J. d. O'Neil
respective presidents OF those orga riza
lions retired from the National Asso-
citation OF Minor League Clubs. some
time ago, they announced that they had
no idea OF becoming outlaws, but would
lay their grievances before the Nationa.
