from this country has ever gone to
Cuba with its strongest team. With
Collins and Baker out of the Ath-
letics they become a very ordinary
baseball outfit
1t required syndicate ball to bring
the American League to the front.
Once on a sound footing, President
Bon Johnson got busy and found To-
cal capitalists to back the eight
clubs and put his league in a posi-
ton where no man could control two
Clubs.
The Eastern League and American
Association are not after higher
classification, as they refused promo
ton to class A last season. What
they want is to become third party
to the National agreement which is
more interesting situation for the
majors to handle.
Secretary Tom Davis has settled
on Richmond, Va, as the training
camp for the New York Highlanders
For years Charlottesville, Va, was a
favorite training camp for Boston
clubs. There Jimmie Collins framed
/ up his batting order for the first
Boston American League team and
didn't change it for several seasons
The New York fans are hoping &C
see Johnnie Killing and Joe Tinker
in Giant uniform next season. Both
are said to desire a change of base
and McGraw is perfectly willing K
land them.
The New York Highlanders have
arranged for three games at Cincin'
natl before the opening of the regu-
lar season in April.

Harmon, chief of staff of the United
States aeronautical reserve, plans a
new argument against fortifying the
Panama Canal. He announced the
other evening that on date not yet
named he will attempt an aeroplane
fight across the isthmus from ocean
to ocean"
my object said Mr.. Harmon, lis
to show that, no matter how strong
or how elaborate the fortications at
the entrance to the canal, it will be
possible for an aeroplane to pass ov-
err them at safe height and destroy
them, rendering the enormous eXpen-
diture contemplated waste of mon

President p. r. Powers will develop
Powers has been apparently beaten so
many times for this office only to bob
up serenely when the votes were
counted that it is safe to say he'll be
chosen again unanimously Powers
founded the Eastern League and on
many occasions he provided money to
keep it from going on the rocks. The
club owners one year decided to try
another president in Powers place
but when the time expired they were
glad to welcome p. T. back. AS the
Eastern League enjoyed a splendid
season this year under Powers lead
ership it is thought that the clul
owners will decide to let well enough
alone.

dent of the billiard game, will un-
dertake to wrest the championship
from Willie Hoppe in the champion
ship match to be played at Madison

has the enthusiasts guessing is, can
Slosson beat Hoppe, whose play has
improved since he first appeared as a
star on the green table?
1t is considered that no billiard
player in the world has a better
knowledge of the game than Slosson,
his name having been connected with
