DAN NJ 'GANN, FORMERLY
WITH GIANTS, IS DEAD
American Association Ball Player
Takes Own Life with RevoI-
Ver-Motive Not Known

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 13-Dan
McGann, former captain and first base
man of the New York Giants, commit
ted suicide today. McGann was found
in his room at Bosler's hoted at 4
o'clock this afternoon with a bullet hole
over his heart and a revolver In his
hand.
He had been dead several hours. No
one had seen him since last midnight,
when he was apparently in the best Of
health. A maid, entering the room this
afternoon to clean it, found the body.
McGann last season was with the
Milwaukee team OF the American asso-
citation, and it was understood efforts
were being made to secure him for the
Louisville team for next season. So
far no cause for his suicide has deVel-
oped.
Although known throughout the base
ball world as Dan" McGann's name
was Dennis. A brother, whose name
was Dan, committed suicide last sum-
mer at Midway KY, where he had
been station agent of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad for many years.
McGann was single, about 3S years
old and was born and reared at Shell
byville, Ky.

Salary of New President

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-With g meet
ing of the, National commission-the
baseball supreme court-a meeting of
the board of directors of the National
league, a meeting of the National
league itself, a final session of the
Eastern leagues annual meeting, and
preparations for the American Leagues
annual meeting tomorrow, this was
New Yorks busy baseball day.
The National league occupied ltseif
only with routine business, and 1t Is
probable that the election of a presi-
dent will not come up until late to-
morrow or Thursday. President
Lynch's supporters say his reelection
is assured
President Ban Johnson said 1T might
be authoritatively stated that the
American league meeting tomorrow
would be brief; that the season next
year will open on April II and 154
games will be played, closing October
6, and that the National league prob
ably will adopt n similar schedule.
The Eastern league increased the
salary Of it's president from $4,000 to
$500, and authorized its new presi-
dent. Edward G. Barrow of Montreal,
to open and maintain league head
quarters here.

MARATHON EVENT
ATTRACTING MANY
Blanks for Annual Road Race of
Los Angeles Athletic Club
viii Be Out Today

That the fourth annual Los Angeles
to Venice road race OF the Los Angeles
Athletic club, to be held February 22
viii outshine anything of its kind here
tofore promoted by that organization
is indicated by the interest shown in
the long jog by MarAthoners through
out the southwest generally.
While entry blanks will not be out
until today, over a score of long dis
tance runners have already expressed
their intention of taking part in the
contest, and 1t Is more than likely that
there will be a least thirty starters
when the day of the contest arrives
Many old-timers will be on deck again
to go after laurels, and it is expected
that quite a little new blood will be
infused into the race.
Interest in this affair, particularly in
club circles, heightened perceptibly
yesterday when 1t was announced that
George D. Haggart, who, running un-
attached, won last years race, had
been accepted as a member of the Los
Angeles Athletic club and would run
under the club colors
Haggart's victorious performance
was spectacular, as he was a dark
horse and was hardly considered as a
winning possibility. 1t is claimed that
he is in even better condition now than
when he began training for last years
event, and he is looked on as top
notcher.
McMurray, who finished second last
year, is also ready to enter for the
coming race. Davidson, who ran a
beautiful race until he collapsed only
a short distance from the finish, has
also signiffed his intention of partici-
pating in the 1911 affair. These are
but a few of the likely entrants, and
there should be no scarcity of talent in
the event, with more than two months
for the contestants to enter and pre-
pare for the race.
The race will be run under amateur
rules, all contestants being required to
produce q registration card Also the
color line will be drawn. Blanks will
be sent out today and can be secured
at sporting goods houses and news
paper offices in this city, as well as
from Secretary Henderson of the club.
