Informed baseball men are of the
opinion that John A. Heydlei's tenn
porary position as the head OF the
National league during the vacation
OF President Harry Pulliam will In
course OF time become a permanent
enc. IL Is believed that Pulliam now
has the New York, Brooklyn. Boston,
Pttsburg and Cincinnati clubs against
him and that 1t is only question
of short time when he will be de-
posed as executive Of the Oldest base
bali organization in the land.
While the name OF James Hart, eX-
president of the Chicago club, has
been mentioned for the position OF

National league ethics. is the appro-
Pirate man to succeed Pulliam.
He makes friends on all sides, keeps

spondence files in the Office vault
He refreshed his memory on the
fact that, last year as this, Rossman
had manifested no hectic inclination
TO rush into the fold the moment the
gate was opened.
He ascertained that he had written
Mr.. Rossman some very alluring let
tiers, copies OF which were on file,
with marginal comment on their fulfil
ity There the record ceased.
Rossman's 1908 contract was then
looked up. Mr. Navin, ascertained that
II called for the very amount offered
in the opening epistle. He also noted
that Rossman's name was included In
the list OF the first squad that had de-
parted for the south.
In other words, Claude had held out
TIL the last moment, and had then
gone 10 pieces.
"rll just play past performance on
this athlete" quoth Navin. He hasn't
written any OF those useless letters
TO Rossman. If the dope should go
wrong, II will be recalled that Sam
Crawford still possesses a most USE
ful protection for his left hand which
he has at times donned and sailed
forth TO play first base that fairly
scintillated
A huge tome was then taken of a
dusty shelf. In which reposed sheaf
of correspondence with Charlie
Schmidt. Belligerent In tone were
these epistles. The replies were brief
and to the point. Charlie and the club
are not now indulsing In their first
debate regarding salary.
Mr.. Navin perused the correspond
ence to the bitter end. The final
chapter was a brief dispatch from
Augusta, Ca, then the Tiger training
camp.
Schmidt reported today and sign
ed his contract" II read and the sig
nature was William A. Armour"
Past performance will go for this
boy, too" quoth Navin. after he had
digested the documentary evidence.
There still remained the question
regarding Moriarty. The brilliant
New Workers. letter, refusing to sign
at the terms offered by the club, was
duly read. Next to 1t was the copy
OF letter from Frank Farrell, presi-
dent OF the New York club for which
Moriarty has played ball for the past
three seasons. In 1t Mr.. Farrell told
his friend Mr. Navin just how much
money Mr.. Moriarty's envelope had
contained last year. Careful compari-
son with the terms offered the player
by Detroit, showed conclusively that
the salary offered had been a very
fairly liberal advance.
