Special Dispatch To The Star.
NEW YORK, December eff some
body would only start a trade i think
there would be something doing" said
Connie Mack, as he took an early coffee
and piece Of toast this morning. II know
that there are men. who have come to
New York. who are filled with the idea
that they would like to have some new
ball players before they get home: for
some reason or another they are afraid to
talk business"
Yes said McAleer. who was at the
next table and had overheard the remark
they are fraid to talk business with YOU
The reason that you have heard little
about trades is that every manager in the
league Is gambling that you have an ace
up your sleeve when you have a man to
put on the market. and there are none of
them who cares to mix in too strongly
and get something which they can't use
handily next year.
This was ali in joking way. but 1t does
show that the American League magnates
and the managers have their eyes on the
tall citizen from Philadelphia. who is
known never to make mistake when he
lets player 60 At least, there is no
record of anything of the kind taking
place within recent years.
In spite Of the bantering of McAleer
he has been trying to make swap
with Mack ever since he has been in
the city. Somehow there are some
of the American League managers who
fight quite as shy of McAleer as they do
of other managers. They think that
he usually carries blank around with
him when he is proposing to make
who happens to get the blank usually

No Pretext for Suit.
NJ. Julemier contended that the pres

offered no pretext for the suit brought
by the count. Amid some suppressed
merriment on the part of his auditors
the lawyer sketched a glowing picture
of the prince.
M. de Sagan is elegant and as bril-

Kelley Hires a Lawyer.
Joe Kelley has put his case into the
hands of lawyer. and says that the
Boston club will have to go to the law
yer to sec anything about business be-
tween them for next year. Kelley de-
clares that he will keep Dewey to his
contract.
Dovey says that he is merely exercising
the right, which any man has, to change
managers and that he has arranged
everything that Kelley will receive the
same salary from Toronto in 1909 that he
was to have received from Boston. Bow

getting it handed to him all around, the
general impression being that he knocked
Kelley out of the position.
Griffith will go to Cincinnati for a sala
ry of $3.50 a year If Garry Hermann
will compromise. At the last meeting OF
the Cincinnati club it was decided by res

that he should be signed for one year
only Griffith declines to take a position
on that basis. but it is dollars to cents
that he goes with Cincinnati

McAleer Wants Dygert.

McAleer Wants Dygert.
McAleer would like to put his fingers
on the diminutive Dygert. He believes
that the pitcher would do more good
for St Louis than for Philadelphia, and
to date he has offered Spencer, his
catcher. for him, but 1t hasn't resulted
in much for the st. Louis man. Nc

like to place somewhere around the
circuit, and he is ready to make deals

The st. Louis manager is certain that
he has the beginning of a champion

Mp next summer for what they lost this
last year in the hot fight with Chicago

he desires to play ball in the east. There
is a very pronounced sentiment against
the young man among the powers that be
in the high court of the national game.
They will not admit that Chase had the
slightest excuse to break contract IN
the middle of the year and go to an out
law club in the west and they call at
tention to the fact that it is not the first
time that Chase has offended against the
laws of organized base ball
The Star can say positively that at least
one and probably two members of the
national commission will never vote that
Chase shall be reinstated until he has
served at least a years suspension and
has been handed q larger fine than ever

the new National agreement was signed
by both major organizations. So far as
that goes, 1t is quite probable that Ban
Johnson will be as willing as anybody
else to see that Chase is punished the
limit
There is held to be no excuse whatever
for his desertion. He made up his mind
that he would go west. went to a news
paper friend in New York to give him
the story, and then jumped the city.

who In turn introduced the members
Of the committee. Admiral Sperry was
In white uniform, but with no side

introductions were over Mr.. Carter
said that he, on behalf of the commit
tee, metaphorically handed the Admiral
the keys OF the city of Honolulu, for
himself, officers and men. He said the
people OF Honolulu had long antici-

ward with greater anticipation in en-
joying the company Of the fleet.
Throughout the whole history of these

States there had been shown an earn

Admiral Sperry. replying. thanked
the reception committee, and said II
was great pleasure to be here He
said he made his first acquaintance
with Honolulu in 1870, and none were
present in his cabin whom he had
known then save Ex-Governor Cleg-
horn. whom the Admiral greeted cor
daily when introduced. AS to the
personnel OF the fleet. he said that the
officers were probably the same old
officers. but there were not the same
old class of men he had been brought
up with. Today the navy, and particu-
larly the feet now in Honolulu, was
composed of young men. of an aver
age OF twenty-ons years.
What you people OF Honolulu do
for them will be appreciated to the
limit" he said.
He said in answer to Mr.. Carriers
statement that the men OF the fleet, in
uniform, would be carried free on the
lines of the Honolulu RAPID Transit
Company. that 1t was very generous.
He said It was an act, not 50 much
