DOVEY TO BUILD UP TEAM
OF FAST YOUNG PLAYERS.

Boston, July 19.--More deals, where
by some of the Boston National League
talent will be returned to the minors,
are impending. Tom McCarty will prob
ably go to the Hartford club in ex-
change for Wanner, an infielder of
promise. Holyoke would like to get
Vive I4indaman, and Boston would
like to get Mccormack, the Holyoke
shortstop.
President Dewey says he will adhere
to his plan of building a team of fast
youngsters and not adopt the sugges-
ton offered that he trade four or five
men for one star, who may have seen
his best days.
A winning team is badly needed at
the South End grounds, and all the
fans hope for President Doveys sake
that the winning combination will be
found with Manager Smith and a team
of willing, ambitious young players.
There are always people trying to
break into baseball, whether or not
they have the ability to run a club sue
cessfully. Rumors to the effect that the
Boston club could be bought have re-
suited in several offers being made
to the stockholders whom President
Dewey represents.
President Dewey has said very re-
Gently that on no account would he
part with the stock which he himself
holds in the club

He has made % hits and eight errors

In three leagues the top team is un-

six clubs of the Carolina League.
A Western writer calls attention to
the fact that the White Sox pitching
staff is entirely five letter affair
Walsh, Smith, White, Scott, Burns,

pitchers who are good for only five
letters than for only five innings.

johnson Says
jeff Is Bluffing,

Chicago, July 19.-Jack Johnson, after
acting as umpire at a baseball game
here yesterday, spared three brief
rounds on the ball field with his spar
ring partner.
That johnson was not in condition to
meet anybody outside of lightweight
for sometime to come, was apparent
That he will never clash with Jim
Jeffries was volunteered by himself.
"The $4,000 I offered to bet some
time ago that Jeffries never would post
a forfeit to meet me or anybody else
in the ring, goes" said the champion.
"Jeffries had not the slightest intention
of covering my $4,000 and he never
will.
1.-THE fact that I was to meet Jeffries
yesterday was simply press agent
yarn. made no promise to be there.
Neither was l hurt in an automobile
accident at Cedar Lake, but 1 am
through with that burg
Johnson said he would start for De-
troit in his automobile today and will
try to make the trip in Is hours. He
claimed there was $1,000 up on the re-
suit
1t also was made known yesterday
that Jack has not had glove on since
ing at Cedar Lake consisted in steer
ing his automobile around the Cobe

KETcHEL and LANGF0RD MAY
FIGHT AT NEW YORK CLUB.

New York. July 19.-Matchmaker
Johnson of the FairmOnt Club is con-
fident that he will pull off 1O-round
bout between Ketchel and Langford
in September. He says he has received
verbal promises from both men, but
he doubtless would be easier in mind
if he had their signatures. The National
Sporting Club of Pittsburg has offered
$4,000 fer six rounds between these
star pugilists and the National A. G. of
Philadelphia stands ready to hang up
$4,000 for a similar bout. The Fairmont
A. C.. members have notified their
matchmaker to go ahead with an Offer
that will clinch the battle and they also
have expressed a willingness to pay
a special rate for reservations that will
net at least $4,000 for the pugilists.
Meanwhile Langford may tackle Joe
Jeanette in 12-round bout in Boston
at an early date and also will accept
bout with Papke at the Fairmont A. c..
if the Ketchel go falls through. Papke
will be here this week ready to fight
Langford, Lewis, O'Brien, Ketchel or
Sailor Burke 10 rounds at the Bronx

lott SECURES PORTLAND
TALENT FOR SPUD LEAGUE,

Portland, Me, July LIT was not
very long ago that the Bangor papers
announced that our old friend, Happy
Jack lott, was dead one," that his
clarion tones would no longer be heard
on Maine diamonds, etc, but it looks
as II the Bangor people had another
guess coming to them, for the only
original Happy blew into town bright
and early yesterday morning just as
full OF ginger and enthusiasm as ever,
and as usual with lots of baseball on
his Elind. Happy, as a matter of fact,
is on still hunt for some ball players
to take back to the Spud League, where
he Is going to put team into Caribou,
and judging by the talent that he has
landed the other outfits on the circuit,
HOulton. Millinocket and Dover-FOx-
croft. will have to sit up some nights
figuring out how to keep Biddo's bunch
from carrying off the honors when the
league season closes, the middle of
September. Everybody who has seen
Happy in action knows that he is a
hustler and these are some of the
players that he has dug up: Mike Nc
Donough of this city, who will play
IN the garden; DwiIlal, the crack south
paw slab artist; McGuigan, second
pase: Pinkerton. shortstop; McF'ar-
land, catcher: Farrell, the star Som
ellsworth player. and Hammond of
Lawrence, third base. Manager lott is
looking for one more pitcher and then
ne says that he will be all fixed to show
the fans up in Northern Maine what a
winner looks like.

WELSH WILL FORCE BAT
NELSON TO Defend TITEL.

London, July 19-Freddie Welsh,
who has wen a clear title to the Eng
lish lightweight championship by de-
feating Young Josephs, will sail for
America in a few weeks to force Bat
Ting Nelson into a match for the
Worlds championship. Welsh has said
that he would post a $4,000 forfeit here
to go as side bet and would agree to
make 1873 pounds ringside. He will sign
articles for a 45-round battle and de-
clares that he will beat Nelson decisive
ly. Welsh will be ready to fight in Oc-
tober and will train for a month. Sport
ing men fail to see how Nelson can re-
fuse TO meet the Briton now that he is

MAJOR LEAGUE MAGNATES
AFTER MINOR LEAGUE STARS.

Springfield. July 1.-two of the
Springfield players will be sold to some
of the big league clubs. TOM Daily
was here Saturday in Broklyn's inter-
ests. Brooklyn wants a catcher and a
shortstop. Daily likes Outfielder McCabe
of New Britain pretty well. and this
fellow is booked for promotion.
Bronkie of Watertown has played
such a fine third base game that he
VIII be taken from this league. Fisher
Of Hartford is wanted to strengthen
the New York Americans pitching
staff and it is claimed that the
"Yanks' have as good as closed the
deal. Pitcher Bannister of Waterbury
and Mccormack, Holyoke's crack
shortstop, look good enough for big
leagues.
