GIANTS TO PLAY BIG TEAMS.
They Probably Will Meet Detroit
and St. Louis Clubs.

NEW YORK, January 7.-Series with
two American League clubs are planned
as part of the Giants spring training at
Marlin Springs. Tex. The Detroit cham
pions of the American League will be in
San Antonio and the st. Louis Browns in
Houston, Tex. In an effort to arrange
games with the rival leaguers McGraw
began work yesterday through the mails.
Other innovations are contemplated. In
stead of having the Giants squad of forty
or more players divided for exhibition
games, the Giants manager plans to re-
stronger clubs than has been usual in
previous spring practice games.
Only the larger cities will be played on
the way to New York for the opening
game with Yale in April. Princeton may
be OH the schedule in addition to the Bal
timore. Jersey City and Newark teams of
the Eastern League.
McGraw'S decision to pit the Giants
against American Leaguers in exhibition
games is one of the winter sensations Of
base ball. Permission of the national
commission may be obtained before final
arrangements are made.
McGraW intends to have the young
pitchers leave for Marlin Springs about
February 10. Two other squads will fol-
low, the veterans being the last to leave
The Old training principle Of having the
young players engage in contests as MEM
bers of second team is to be ignored
the Giants manager believing that more
can be learned by the recruits through re-
manning in sight of the veterans.

TWENTY MAPS DUE
FOR THE DISCARD
Cleveland Club Now Has Fifty
Players on Its Re-
serve List.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, January "A few
weeks ago Cleveland had fifty-nine play
ers. or enough to place six teams on the
field and have five left over. Even today.
Manager Mcclure has fifty players re-
manning on his roster. and it is expected
that twenty more will be released or sold
before many weeks have passed.
The work entailed by big league club
in carrying so many players on the re-
serve list throughout the winter and dis
posing of them before the regular playing
season starts is considerable. Secretary
Barnard certainly will have his hands full
attending to the large amount of CORE
spondence that will be necessary and
will surely relish the day when the new
player limit rule takes effect.
For instance, Cleveland recently had
twenty-six pitchers on its roster. Here Is
the list:
Joss, Young. Rhoades. Berger. Falken-
berg Sitton, Otis. Mitchell Winchell,
Ables. Gregg. darkness, Koestner. Boise.
Doane. Patrick, Kent. Linke. Wright,
Cough. Robinson, Touchstone, Baskette,
Griffith, Kirsch and Van Sickle.
OF this number Joss. Young, Berger,
RhOades, Falkenberg and Sitton are the
veterans. Waivers have already been
asked on Sitton. Kent, Baskette. Robin
son and Otis have been sold to Toledo
and Soldier boy" Van Sickle has been
let out to Saginaw of the South Michigan
League. Van Sickle Is the boy who Gre
ated such a stir in Detroit amateur base
ball circles last fall and was signed by
Mcclure. He will probably be let out on
an option.
Probably about twelve pitchers will be
taken south. Those who MCGUIRE has
said were sure of trials were Doane,
Mitchell, Hardness. Koestner, Boice.
Linke and Gregg. Griffith and Kirsch.
the two Pittsburg semi-pros. and
Patrick of Springfield ILL.,, may also be
taken south. Touchstone will probably
go back to Roanoke. and Wright. Cough,
Ables and Winchell be disposed of to
class A teams. Just which veterans will be
taken south is not known, but Joss and
Young can be banked on as certainties.
ter-Clarke Bemis. Easterly. Higgins.
Murphy. Schmitt and Land. The last
named has already been sold to Toledo
and Erie will probably get Murphy. The
first four expect to be taken south.
Only one first baseman, George Stovall,
is on the list, Sykes having been sold to
Dayton.
Three second basemen are carded, but
Lloyd of GAINESVILLE and Flood of Mans
field are due to go to the minors.
The shortstops are five in number-Tur-
Stark received a trial. failed to make
good and has been sold to Dayton. Ball
will probably be released, but Newton,
the Roanoke recruit. may receive trial
There are four candidates for third
base. Bradley, Perring, Netzel and Murch.
The last two will not receive much con-
sheraton.

ON FLYING VISIT.
Secretary-Treasurer Heydler Home
on Business Trip.

Mr.. John Heydler OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of the National League. arrived in Wash
ington this morning for a short stay to
look over his business interests here.
Mr. Heydler is wearing a gold button of
which he is very proud. as 1t came from
the other members of the national COM
mission. 1t is the size of silver quar-
ter with large diamond in the center
and appropriately inscribed as to an ex-
member of that august body. John made
a splendid impression upon Messrs. John
son, Hermann and Bruce and they were
quick to show their appreciation Of his
sterling qualities as a man and an off,
cial.
The appointment of Mr.. Lynch as presi-
dent of the National League was very
pleasing to Mr. Heydler. as it not only
removed him from the politics of the Or
ganization, but gave him a man to work
for Of unusual integrity and ability.

think the base ball public looks upon our
differences in the same way. Both sides
had good plans. and by means of give
and-take process we reached a compro-
mise that cannot help Strengthening the
league.
The same rule applies to base ball
club. l do not think there ever was a
championship base ball team, or one up in
front in fight for a pennant, in which
perfect harmony prevailed. The nature
who is in the game with his whole heart
and soul is bound to feel sore when some
other player makes a bonehead move on
the diamond. That is a kind of a player
who makes for winning team.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, July 20.-Supt.
Q. H. Rothert OF the Iowa School for
The Deaf located here, when told OF a
report that the board of control In
sende ddisplacing him, declared 1t to
be untrue Mr.. Rothert said that the
only foundation possible for such
story is that certain deaf people in
Iowa that are ironical to him have
used every means to discredit him in
the eyes of the board and to annoy
him, which efforts, Superintendent
Rothert insisted, were of no avail.
He said he was on good terms with
the board of control and that thers
could be no valid reason advanced
for change in their relations. Mr..
Rothert declined to state the nature
or basis for the unfriendly attitude
toward him by the deaf persons who
he said are alone in trying to organ
ize a fight against him, in fact ne
treated the matter lightly.

it is impossible to say when the postal

cago or any other CITY as to the time
of opening the postal savings banks, !"
said an official of the postoffice depart
ment. "The officers in c1arge of ar
rangements have become involved in
mass of detailed arrangement which
makes it impossible for them to say
when negotiations will be in readiness.
The best estimate that can be Civ

is more than possibility that the

injury to themselves or the balloon
The reason for their descent was a
leak caused by stone thrown by a
small boy at Hamilton. WREN the bal
loon was being inflated.
Shots were fred at the balloon as
they passed over Kentucky. They
claim to have reached an altitude of
$500 feet. the temperature being 10

warmer currents of air. The balloon,
1T is claimed, has travelled $50 miles

the starting point will probably not
exceed S75 miles, maintaining a speed

10000 MEN ARE OUT

MONTREAL, July 20.-A new turn
In the strike of the conductors and
trainmen of the Grand Trunk and Cen
trail of Vermont developed last night
when Vice President Murdoch OF the
union called out $50 Wabash men
working between Windsor and Niagara
Falls. Dispatches from Detroit say
the men obeyed the order and freight
traffic is tied up.
Many of the men shut out OF the
shops have taken train service, and
the union officials bitterly denounce'
the company for closing the shops at
this time and thereby throwing 10000
men into idleness. They declare that
such a move will be. ample justifica-i
ton for sympathetic strike Of the
engineers and telegraphers, although
there is no indication that such move
will be made The latest calculation
OF the number of men rendered idle
by the strike and lockout runs to
10000
A new turn was given to the situa-
ton shortly after noon by the receipt
of a dispatch from the minister of
labor at Ottawa. offering on behalf of
the government to appoint board of

STARTED THE TROUBLE
This Was the Beginning of the Fight
Which Placed the Prison
Sentence on
Gompers.

ST. LOUIS, July 20.-According to
private advices received here an agree
ment was reached in Cincinnati be-
tween the representatives of the
Bucks Stove and Range company of
st. Louis and of several unions en-
ploying men at It's plant here. The
matters in dispute between the unions
and the company were settled and
written agreements were entered in
to by the parties to the conference to
this effect. The plant becomes a
union shop after fight that lasted
four years.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
was sentenced to a prison term be-
cause OF the disagreement, presided at
the Cincinnati meeting. Mr.. Gompers
said at the close of the meeting that
the agreement does not affect his
case.
The settlement of the differences
between the Buck Stove and Range
company and the labor unions marks
the finale of the most spectacular and
bitter labor war ever waged. The
fight began in difference between
the metal polishers in the plant and
the owners as to whether the men
should work nine or ten hours day.
The differences arose Aug. &c, 1906
The Buck company, of which the late
/ ]. W. VanCleave was president, helc
firm against the demands of the
| polishers for nine-hour day, and the
Stove Founders National Defense AS
sociation backed Van Cleave, whose
company was member of the ma
tional defense body.
VanCleave declared for an "oper
shop" This action led to an open
breach between the shop and the
uniopo and boycott was declared
| The Central Trades and Labor Unior
and the Metal Trades council ap
proved the boycott. The case was
