BASEBALL NOTES.

NO more secrecy will be maintained
by the magnates about the doings of
the league. 1t is news to the public, and
the public will get it, President Lynch
declares.
Bill Coughlin, star third beseman of
the first two champion Tiger teams of
Hughie Jennings, has signed as player
manager of the Williamsport (Tristate)
club.
Treasurer Charles G. Williams of the
Cubs is the proud possessor of a watch
fob containing four championship en-
blems. He sprung it on the American
Leaguers and then wondered why they
didn't enthuse over the display.
Catcher Billy Sullivan of the Sox,
whose patent chest protector has come
into general use, will try out new in
vention this summer-spikeless spikes.
Billy's continuance looks like a horse
shoe, and he thinks it will bring good
luck if it doesn't land fortune
Batting is a matter of nerve and
skill, Barney Dreyfus says. He does
not favor any tampering with the rules
to increase the batting. You don't See

1t is said that Connie Mack is anx-
ious to get back Jack Knight to play
first base for his team. Mack is said
to have offered Pitcher Dygert and
Outfielder Heitmuller for the New York
infielder 1t was Mack who brought
out Knight after he was discovered on
High school team in the Quaker city.
plte lle attempts OF the several
outlaw leagues which have sprung up
like mushrooms of late, to induce At
lantic League towns to desert their cir
cult, the various league magnates have
stood firm. The Atlantic League en-
tiers upon its fourth straight season
this year and indications are that all
the clubs will be money-makers.
AL Orth is the latest recruit to
Charley Cars Indianapolis team. The
old major Lacquer, who started his pro-
fessional career in Virginia in 1895, will
resume pitching this year. although
last year, as manager of the Lynch
burg (Va) team. Orth essayed to cover
second base. Orth finished up last
season with the New York Americans.
Last year Brown of the Cubs pitched
and won more games than any other
twiricr in the National League. Four
men beat him in the percentage of vic
tories, but not one of them worked as
often as lie did. Mordecai pitched in
SO games, or nearly every third game
played by the Cubs, truly wonderful
record. For the II of these games
he does not get credit, for he went in
to save game that was apparently
Won by the Cubs when another pitcher

ent Trouble in Tibet.

reached the I5ritish government today as
to how the Tibetian trouble was precipi-
tated, but strict orders have been sent

companied by three ministers and 100 9TH
err men.

House of Lords today. Lord Morley, sec
rotary Of state for India said:
THE government has opened commu-
nications with the Chinese government in
regard to the unexpected and interesting
situation, but nothing has developed yet.
Meanwhile strict neutrality will be OBJ
served. The Dalai Lama will be- invited
to occupy the Warren Hastings house in
Calcutta and be treated with courtesy
and respect due to ruler of high spir-
itual authority and the object of venera-
ton to many millions OK His Majesty's
subjects.
THE only word received from the Da-
lai Lama since he quilted Lhasa was to
the effect that he was proceeding to In
dia to consult the British government, to
ma
no indication of the cause of his flight
except that the peorla of Lhasa have been
greatly oppressed by the Chinese"
