Hy WILLIAM FEEI.
Manager Jimmy MeAleer OF the Ma
tionals, will be in the Capital to-day
for a few hours
He decided at the last minute 10 change
his plans and stop over en- route to the
annual meeting, of the American League
in New York.
There VIII be a short eonfab with
President Moves and other stockholders
of the local club this morning and then
McAleer and Noyes will hop on train
for the metropolis.
So much has already been publiehsd
here about proposed trades that there is
little TO be added. OF course. there Is a
possibility that Manager Jim VIII put
something through. but the chances are
remote.
A Boston paper several days ago print
ed a long story quoting Owner John l.
Taylor OF the Red SOX. and the question
came up about the proposed trade OF
Cabby Street for Catcher Carrigan and
Pitcher Joe Wood Taylor stated EN-
phatically that he had heard nothing
from McAleer about such swap, ana
that there was nothing in it, Furthermore,
he added that he had just about come 10
terms with Carrigan and expected that
the latter would wear a Boston uniform
in 1911 This would seem 10 settle the
possibility of such trade
Perhaps the best chance for a trade
of some sort viii be with Hugh Jennings
OF Detroit, who is pretty sweet on Bob
Groom, and IL he can offer anything, the
lanky twirler may so 10 Detroit As for
McAleer doing business with. St. Louis
al
the Browns has stated IN the Mound
City papers that he viii have nothing to
do with the Nationals boss. Hedges is
still sore on himself for letting McAleer
get away from him.
The Hotel Victoria was crowded with
baseball men all day yesterday. Some
of the National Leaguers, who viii begin
their annual meeting at the Hotel Bres-
lin to-day, dropped in and INDUCED in
the general tanning bee. August Herr
mann, OF Cincinnati: Stanley Robson. OF
ST. Louis; Barney Dreyfuss. of Pitts
burg: and Horace Fogel, OF Philadelphia,
seemed 10 think that Thomas J. Lynch
will be reelected without serious opposi-
ton.
Ebbets. of Brooklyn. said he would Try
90 have both leagues extend the sched-
ules until October Z. in order to take IN
Columbus Day, and he also declared that
he would find out whether President
Lynch acted legally when he fined the
Brooklyn club 500 last summer because
Mcmillan, a player. was sent 10 the
Rochester club without an application of
the waiver rule.
c. w Murphy. of Chicago, arrived last
night and so did John S. Dovey, who
sold the Boston club recently TO John p.
Harris. The latter viii be here to-day.
and may be accompanied by the syndi-
cate organized by William Hepburn Rus
sell. which, it is said viii buy the BOs-
ton club for $4,000, Il it has not done so
already.

In reference to the talk that has arisen
over the ownership of the Boston Doves.
Al Watts. in the Boston Traveller, who
has been close to the throne. hits the nail
on the head as far as baseball in Bean
town is concerned. Al says patty and
pertly that Boston does not give a tink-
er's expletive who owns the team as
long as the fans get decent baseball at
the Walpole grounds. There is room
for two teams in the Hub, neither of
which would harm the other. II Pitts
