american league managers have
their work cut out for them from
now on in getting rid of their surplus
talent in order to live up to the re-.
cent rule adopted by the johnson or
ganfzation that by May Is next each
club shall have only twenty-five play
ers on its roster, says the New York
Press The task is a big one, as when
the season ended the league had 400
players on it's reserve list. Since
then only twenty-five men have been
sent back to the minors.
Manager Jim Mcguire of Cleveland
and Leader Hugh Duffy of Chicago
will be compelled to work day and
night to get their teams down to
the legal limit. The Maps have sixty
men now, the White Sox fifty-eight.
Pat Donovan of Boston will have to
get rid of about thirty FASTENERS and
Big Chief Stallings of the Highland
ers will have to turn loose some TWEEN
ty-five athletes. The only American
league manager who isn't seriously
affected by the rule limiting the num-
Der of players club can carry is
Jim Nc Aleer of the Senators. When
ne took charge of the Washington
club it had twenty-eight men on it's
roster, the addition of Elberfeld Civ
ing the Senators twenty-nine.
Until May Is each club will be al.
lowed to carry thirty-five men, and af-
ter Aug. 20, which is the date when
the drafting from the minor leagues
starts, the same number will be al
lowed per club.

Baseball players have two ambi-
lions in life. One Is to advance to
the big leagues and the other is to
some day become a manager, or poss-
IDLY own a ball club of their own.
The fact that at the present time
many ball players are seeking. man.
agerial berths is shown by the many
applicants which President Hofer Of
Quincy had. Through an error his
advertisement in the Sporting papers
was continued week after he had
signed Myers. 1t is estimated that
between ITO and 200 applications were
received during this week and several
preceding it.
A clean ball player, Of average abil-
ity and business experience, can
easily in time acquire berth as
manager and in the long run it looks
as If 1t is to the players ability to
develope himself In the business end
OF the game.

So far as Congress is concerned the
constitutional bar to the acceptance by
Senator Knox of the State portfolio in
the Taft Cabinet was removed when
the House passed the bill reducing the

called on Gov. Wilson in abody and pre-

request him to have State Inspector and

Gov. Wilson told the commissioners
he would comply with the request at

for asking immediate action is that
there are some moved by feeling Of
retaliation, seeking for selfish purposes

The striking of more than million
cent pieces at the San Francisco Mint
in 1908 made new record in the his
tory of the United States Mint and Its
branches, for never before since the
coinage of pieces of this denomination
was begun, in 1893, had such COINS
been struck anywhere except at the
parent establishment at Philadelphia.
As a matter of fact. says the New
York Sun, no need for the making OF
coins of this denomination in the West
presented itself until within recent
years, as the demand for cent pieces
was confined almost exclusively to the
Atlantic and Middle Western States.
In the West and Southwest this minor
coin has had no purchasing value, was
not recognized and was seldom seen in
Indeed. even at the pres
ent time there are many Western To-
calities in which cent pieces are not ac-
cepted. We can remember when five
cents was the smallest change that was
necessary in any transaction as moth
ing sold for less than nickle.

AT the meeting of the Kentucky An

ed requesting Gov. Wilson to call an
extra session of the Legislature to pass
a uniform county unit bill. The petit
ton says that Gov. Wilson personally
and the republicans are pledged to this
policy and he is asked to make good.
1t is dollars to doughnuts that the gov

into extraordinary session to consider
any county unit bill. Republicans only
make promises, but do not keep them.
