WILL BEHAVE HIMSELF.
So Says McQuillan to Scribes, Who
Swallow Hook and Line.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, November .
Pitcher McQuillan, the Quaker or the
Red, denies that he is "the mysterious
MITCHELL who has been causing SO much
excitement on the coast and who has
been generally supposed to be the big
Philadelphia hurler. Honest" said Mac
yesterday. I'm not the man. From all
1 hear he's Fred Walker, the University
Of Chicago pitcher-anyhow, I'm here,
and he pitched game two or three days
ago in San Francisco-therefore, We are
not the same, are WEI"
McQuillan frankly admits that he went
wrong to some extent in Philadelphia.
II made some mistakes there said he,
land did not always behave as should.
Nevertheless, everything 1 did was great
ly exaggerated and i was made the goat
for a lot of things l didn't do. I'll be-
have all right and give my best efforts
to the Cincinnati club"
wish we had Eddie Grants advice"
said McQuillan. HE knows all points
of law both base ball and the court
kind, and he never hesitates to state
things as he sees them. So far as the
validity Of the deal is concerned. we
are satisfied Doom supposed to
have full power to make all such deals
and changes as he thought needful for
the welfare Of the team"

ATHLETICS TO GO TO
CUBA THIS WINTER
Frank Bancroft Arranges to
Take Worlds Cham
pions on Trip.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 2-Busi-
ness Manager Frank c. Bancroft of the
Cincinnati Nationals has been engaged by
the officers of the Philadelphia Americans
to take that team to Cuba and to play a
series of games in Havana, Santiago and
other cities during December and January.
He says the men will leave New York
via Tampa, Fla, about the middle Of No
vember, for Havana. Yesterday when
Bancroft returned to Cincinnati he found
telegram and letter on his desk which
settled the question OF his going to Cuba.
The letter came from the manager Of the
Cuban team, whose home is in Havana.
1t stated he would pay handsome sum
for the Philadelphia Athletics for a month
this winter.
In addition to this, their transportation
and hotel bills will be paid The telegram
was from young Mr.. Shibe, son of Presi-
dent Shibe Of the Athletics, saying he had
received the consent Of his father for this
project and that all the Athletics can be
secured for the trip except Manager Con
ME Mack, who has sailed for Europe with
his bride.

CUBS ARE NOT ALL IN
Little Chance That Chicago
Team Will Need Shifting.
JIMMY CALLAHAN'S OPINION
Pick of National League Would Help
Team in But Few
Spots.
JIMMY CALLAHAN'S OPINION
By James J. Callahan

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, November ALI the wise
ones are predicting what must be done
to bolster up the Cubs and still keep
them a winning combination. 1t is RI
diculous to listen to some of the changes
suggested and planned. When the CUBS
were beaten by the Sox five years ago
it was predicted that the defeat would
disrupt and disorganize the club, and
that no club could recover from defeat
of that kind.
Everything worked out to the contrary
and the team came back and has de-
liyered ever since. 1t is admitted that
every great ball club at some time or
other must go back and have break
that sets it back for a while.
Cubs Best in League.
Now. let's dissect that proposition. The
Cubs proved they were the best clup
in the National League by winning the
pennant. Every other club In that Or
ganization is trying continually 10

Cubs. The Cubs at the present time pc

BIG LEAGUE ROW PLAN
To GUST TOM LYNCH
Report That Fogel Acted Under
Orders From Murphy in
Blocking Deal.
JOHN WARD AGAIN
MENTIONED FOR JOB
Position of Hermann Seems to In
dictate That He Has Goods
on Phillies' President.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, Ohio. November 2.--The
retreat of Horace Fogel from Philadelphia
has created an impression in Cincinnati
that the president of the Phillies is weak
ening and that the big deal between the
Reds and Quakers will come off as sched-
uled. Fogel is supposed to have gone to
New Orleans to look after the spring
training quarters, but no one would be
surprised If he bobbed up in this city in
side the next few days.
August Hermann is positive in his
statements that he has proof that Fogel
countenanced the trade and gave Doom
power to consummate it. The fact that
President Tom Lynch of the National
League has bulletined the releases OF
Beebe, Rowan, Paskert and Lobert to
Philadelphia lends color to Hermann IS
claim. Lynch could not be reasonably
expected to take such positive action if he
were not sure of his ground. No more
could Hermann, as chairman Of the ma
tional commission. be expected to blindly
violate the first principles of base ball
law-tamperng with players under re-
serve to another club. If Hermann had
not absolute claim to McQuillan and Mo-
rem when he signed them he is guilty of
one of organized base balls most grave
offenses.
1t is the opinion of those very close to
Mr.. Hermann that the entire sQuabble is
the result of political cOnnivance on the
part of certain National Leageu disturb
ers who have kept the old major league in
hot water for years 1t is no secret that
these persistent revolutionists are con-
spring to overthrow Tom Lynch, the
present executive. Already the names of
John Ward and Francis Richter have
been advanced as possible candidates for
the berth. Charles Taft and Charles Muir
ply, who own the Chicago Cubs, are sup
posed also to control the Philadelphia
National League holdings. 1t is believed
that the Chicago owners ordered FOgel to
block the big trade after he had practi-
cally come to terms with Hermann.
Charles Murphy, Chicago; Charles Eb-
bets, Brooklyn, and Horace Fogel are
regarded as the revolutionary nucleus
which threatens another gigantic election
fuss at the December meeting of the
league here. Garry Hermann, Barney
Dreyfuss of Pittsburg and John Dewey,
president of the Boston club. are suppos-
edly strong Lynch supporters. Stanley
Robson of ST. Louis and John T. Brush
of the Giants are, as usual, on the fence,
and no one can figure which way they
will jump. Robson Is a bitter enemy of
Murphy. He opposed Ebbets pet scheme
for Northumberland sixty-eight-g
schedule which Murphy championed, and
later refused to move up dates with the
Cubs to oblige Murphy in Fastening the
worlds series. But Robson is also sup
posed to be sore on Lynch as the result
of umpire differences.

him of the fact. President F'ogel has the
right to come here to discuss the trade,
but 1 want it understood by him that he
must keep close to the track and AVOID
any other talk of trades in place OF this
one. However, l do not know that ne
is coming and viii not know this until
see him.
IF President Fogel wishes to carry
this thing to the headquarters of the Ma
tional League in New York, all we'll and
good And l expect that If he wishes to
fight it QUE that would be the best place
for the fight"
While President Hermann has not said
so, it appears that he would prefer to
have the case go before the men higher
up in base ball.
President Fogel is on his way to New
Orleans and 1t is probable that he may
stop over in Cincinnati, it being en-
route. Charles Webb Murphy, owner OF
the Chicago club. is not in the Windy
city at the present time. according to a
dispatch received here last night. Muir
ply has been out Of the city for two
days, 1t is said, in Ohio on a business
trip.
Manager Doom when seen yesterday
stated that he had not heard from Presi-
dent Fogel and that he does not expect
to.
II don't know what to think of the
muddle," said Doom. 1T has already
gone too far. McQuillan and Bates sign
ed their contracts, having been assured
advance money. There have been no new
developments at this end Of the wire
