HANLON MAY BE

BALTIMORE, July 2-There APP
pears to be an impression in Balti-
more that Frank Farrell. of the New
York Americans. will endeavor to
land Edward Hanlon, of that city, as
successor to the late manager, Clark
Griffith, or OF the present acting
manager. Norman Elberneld. Far
rell has endeavOred to secure the
services of Hanlon on previous oc-
casions. it has been pretty well sub
stantiated, but nothing ever came of
It beyond well-nuthenticated rumors
of business talks between the two.
This time" according to the News,
1T would seem that Farrell has the
best chance yet to secure Hanlon's
signature to a managerial contract.
1T must be understood however,
that there is as yet no ground for
asserting that Farrell is trying to
get Hanlon TO manage the New York
Americans" says the report There
is only the suspicion that he may al
ready be at work trying to do so.
or that he will make the effort. 1t
Is not known how the Baltimore man
would regard such overtures. He
cut loose from the managerial worries
OF baseball because he had such n
long siege Of them that he wanted

his own property. He has not said
whether he only wished to rest this

'BITS OF BASEBALL GOSSIP

Mcconnell, the Boston American
second baseman, is one OF the young
men who has made his future secure
in big league" baseball. Not only
is he fast player, but he is sure and
resourceful In addition to that he
meets the ball we'll, and how a man
ager does like to pick up a batter
when he reaches into minor leagues
to strengthen his team.
So
Pttsburg has three times known
the Joy of winning the National
league pennant, and on many other
occasions unusual enthusiasm has
been aroused there by favorable de-
veIOpments in the course OF flag
struggles. but never In its entire his
tory has that grand old baseball burg
been wrought up to higher pitch
than at present over the dlomand
achievements Of its representative
team.
w. +. Murdoch, who has played
two seasons as centerfelder for the
Macon South Atlantic league club, has
been made manager of the Macon
team to succeed John Malarkey, who
has had portion of the season and
rather stormy career at the head of
the aggregation. Mlarkey, Ike Dur
rett and Hank Collett have been nut
on the shelf and Walt Lovings, third
baseman, has been loaned to Savan-
nah. He may remain there perman-
emily.
II looks like Uniontown all the
way in the pennant race, but Clarks-
burg is at their heels, and this weeks
series will probably decide the series.
Clarksburg has about the best bal
anCed team in the league. There
are no bright stars on the Drummer
team but they all work well together.

The Demand Tor Lower Rents.

The rest Of the town. knowing how
prone the East Side is TO hysteria, pro-
fessional as well as spontaneous, and how
easily hysteria is there converted into
noisy agitation, may be inclined to sus-
pect the genuineness Of the emergency
implied in the clamor just now for lower
rents. Nevertheless the most sceptical
cannot fail to be impressed by the cir
cumstance that there should be any
such clamor at all Immediately after the
biggest building boom in the history OF
New York city.
In the last four years, according to the
reports of the Tenement House Depart
ment, new tenements have been provided
for some 2ls,0OO families. The average
number Of people to the family in Greater
New York at the time OF the Federal
census in 1900 was AS. Taking this
average as a basis for computation, the
tenements produced in the space OF four
years should accommodate upward OF
oS1 900 people. Meanwhile, the actual
growth of population. rs estimated ~ the
Board Of Health. has been about 5S4,o go.
The great bulk of the new tenements
consist of three or four room apart
ments intended for the laboring classes.
When one reflects that besides tenements
some thousands Of inexpensive one and
two family dwellings have also been
erected in the last four years, it must
be evident that there is no scarcity Of
housing in this town. The real trouble
is deficiency of transportation.
Since the opening of the subway tene-
ment rents have advanced by one-third.
The advance has been limited to an area
lying within thirty minutes walk or ride
OF the mercantile" district, where sew
eral hundred thousand operatives and
clerks are employed. For the majority
of these employees the legal working day
is ten hours. But people who work ten
hours a day can hardly spare more than
an additional hour for travel. whether by
car or on foot. The tenement house
region within half an hour Of the mercan-
tile district is built up. Lots there are
worth $4,000 to $4,000 each. Half an
hour further away lots are worth 81 500
to 5000, and large proportion of the
tenements there are vacant.
The Public Utilities Commission has
devoted six months to questioning and
cross-questioning transportation officials.
Do the subway schemes advanced by the
commission indicate that that body has
profted by its opportunities to obtain a
competent understanding of the nature
and urgency of New York s transportation
problem?
