hitting powers and the slams he hands
his sparring partners are of a force
that would fell a Hereford bull, but
Billy wears unusually large gloves, and
thus saves those who box with him any
serious injuries.
When Papke punches the bag he does
so with so much force and enthusiasm
that were he in a more populous place
than San Rafael he would be arrested
for disturbing the peace.

FOSTER MAY
BOSS TRENTON
Pop" Wants the Job and
So Does Harry
WOIVertOn

TRENTON, Sept. 24-That the Trenton
baseball team will next season be direct
ed by new manager, no matter whether
It is a member Of the Tri-State or Eastern
League circuit. is no longer matter Of
doubt Colonel Perrine admits It and so
does Jack Carney. In fact, the latter has
already opened negotiations for the par
tial ownership OF the Waterbury. Conn.
team. He is expected to be a half owner
of that club.
Just who will be engaged to succeed
Carney as the active head OF the Tigers
is at this writing considered doubtful
To those in the know, though. Pop" Fos-
ter looks to be the man. The published
report that Foster does not want 10 come
to Trenton is absolutely without founda-
tion. Foster is not only open for an offer
from Trenton, but he has already gone a
step further. He has personally made ad-
vances on his own account in the hope
OF being selected as Carney's successor
here.
It was Just after the close of the last
Lancaster Trenton game here that Foster
made an appointment 70 meet Colonel Per-
night The two discussed the BASEBALL situ-
alton thoroughly, and Foster after ex
planning that he had heard of Carney's
probable retirement as manager of the
Tigers candidiy informed the Colonel that
he would like to come here next season.
He said he was dissatisfied with his berth
in Lancaster and felt that he would be
much more pleasantly located here. Col
onel Perrine assured Foster that he would
be very seriously considered in the selec-
tion Of a new manager, and there the mat
ter rested.
So much for Foster. Now for Harry
Wolverton. The brainy leader Of the PEN
nant-winning Williamsport crew is also
reported to have expressed desire to be-
come the Trenton's manager next season.
Wolverton's preference for Trenton reach
ed such a point during the season that
Colonel Perrne is reputed TO have offered
him $500 to finish the season here in a
managerial capacity. Colonel Perrine ad-

HOW McALEER
tanned WADDELL
st. Louis Manager Finds
Golden Rule Worked
Well With "Rube"

Jimmy McAleer has succeeded in tam
ing "Rube" waddel something that no
manager ever accomplished before.
When asked how he had succeeded in
pulling off this supposedly impossible
play, Jimmy said:
Il treat Waddel as would wish to be
treated myself, and I do not have the
least bit OF trouble with him. I find him
to be a very willing fellow. and what he
does he does in the open and allows all
the world to know about H.
"There is absolutely nothing two-faced
about George Edward. One OF the finest
points about him Is that he does not sulk
or nurse fancied grievances. like good
many star ball players / have known in
my day. Men like this, while they wouldn't
come out into the open and do things
would by secret means so demoralize a
winning outfit as to eliminate It from the
running.
wadden Is a peculiar fellow, but the
fans in every city pamper him. and It is
not hard TO find plausible excuses for some
bad breaks the big fellow has made in the
past Personally l very much like Rube

BALL PLAYERS
LIABLE TO FINE

Transforming aggregations Of base

The Newark Eastern League team is
scheduled to play at Frankford this
Saturday. while Williamsport and

The rules of the National Commits

without first seeking permission from
the club in whose territory they seek
to play. There have been repeated
fines for violation of this rule.
While neither President Shettsline

the attention of the National Commits

unlikely that some action will be taken
