tilIon's brand Of soft soap would be

The latest victim is Bob Ganley, who
came here all het Up about some mystic
rious dicker he had up his sleeve,
signed his contract after five minutes
talk and is now manager pro tenn. Can
tillon went hunting yesterday morning
because of the wind and rain. but left
Ganley in charge. When the rain squalls
ceased and the north wind moderated
Ganley had his henchmen on the lot
ready for business. They did nothing
out of the ordinary.
Every pitcher took a turn at shooting
straight ones over temporary plates,
slamming the sphere TO the outfield. 1t
was orthodox and useful but not thrill
ling.
The horizon is eagerly scanned each
day for signs of Delehanty and of the
backing in real money for the California
outlaw league. So far neither has
bobbed into the vista and things are
moving along here as if Delehanty had
already signed. Should he dispel that
dream he viii probably be the sufferer,
for Cantillon has about made up his
mind not TO make any special conces-
sions 10 Delehanty. Witherup appears
TO be lost, and while he would be a
welcome addition. he is not absolutely
necessary 10 the perfection of the pitch
ing corps.
BIZ Rapp's prospective shift TO Min
neapolis does not necessarily mean the
permanent eclipse OF this bright and
newly-married catcher. Bill is getting
much praise from the players here. and
