BASEBALL CHATTER OF MUCH INTEREST
 TO OUR READERS

When the directors of the Con- necticut league meet in conclave next Thursday at Waterbury a deadlock is likely when it comes to voting on the schedule. O'Rourke of this city, Cameron of New Haven, Durant of Waterbury and Hanna of New Britain will support President Tracy's sched- ule while Clarkin of Hartford, Teller of Springfield. Winkler of Holyoke and Edwards of Northampton will fight for the schedule as drawn by the committee. In this case the pres- ident of the league will probably dis solve the tie, having a chance to then act on his own report.
 Cameron of New Haven is in a peculiar position in regard to the mix-up. He was the chairman of the committee which arranged the new dates, putting the presidents report to the bad. Then when he was in- formed by Manager O'Rourke of this city that the action of the committee was illegal, he stated that he would vote to uphold the presidents report. But at the same time he will be hold ing the proxy of another director, Leller of Springfield, who is at his home in St. Louis, and voting as that gentleman has directed, to stand by the report of the committee.
 Some persons do not take stock in the reported sale of the Waterbury franchise. They still claim that Durant is financially interested to such an extent that he will be at the They think that the reported sale is like several of old, made purely to stimulate little new interest in the Brass City and push the game along there from time to time.
 Mo of a = ford team has made an offer to Harry Moves of New Haven to cover third for the Senators next season. Moves would rather play with New Haven, but is pleased with the new offer, and if he can break away from Nash vile, will go to Hartford, his former baseball home. The southern climate did not agree with Moves, who was used to the Indian summers of the good old Nutmeg state. Manager Bernhardt of the Nashville team wants s400 for Moves release.
 First Baseman Bill Abstein of the Pittsburg World Champions. has been purchased by the St. Louis American league club, according to report of President Hedges of the Browns. Ab- stein was on the market, being put there by the demands of the Pitts burg fans who did not like his work
 
 declared to be too much of a bone head. Abstein will contend with Claude Rossman, the former Hol- yoker. for first base honors.
 Jack Miller of the Pirates. one of the young men who broke into the majors last season, and really made good, has joined the hold-out league. Jack got his contract from Barney Dreyfuss yesterday, gazed on the figures mentioned in 1t, and then hustled hotfoot to the post office, sending the agreement back to the Pirate owner, unsigned.
 sNToo much harmony is not good for seball."-C. w. Murphy.
 Can you beat the national games chief little trouble maker? Just as he is about to back into a siding while the Press Limited rushes past, the shubby president of the Chicago Cubs breaks out afresh and in a brand new direction. His alibi, while being re- preached for trying to foist syndicate ball upon suspecting public, is at least novel. Harmony, that is too harmonious, is Anot good for any, thing, whether it be sport or busi- ness, asserts the sporting gentleman who said it was none of the public's affair if he wanted to have stock in every club of the National League.
 From any one else in our more or less civilized United States this senti- ment would seem peculiar, to say the least; but not from Murphy, provided you know him. If he is allowed to have free and unrestricted sway in baseball it is freely. predicted that Charles Webb Murphy will put our national pastime on the everlasting blink" He appears to be on his way.
