Some Winter Sporting Gossip
OVERALL AND BROWN
WILL QUIT CUBS
Reported Yesterday in Chicago Base
ball Circles that Stars are
Through.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-The report
that Pitchers Overall and Brown were
to quit the game stirred up consid-
cradle discussion around baseball
headquarters. 1t is known that the
two Cub fingers are thick friends and
that they are likely to pull off some
thing on President Murphy and Man
ager Chance. Both have been in the
game for long time and have saved
up large bundle of money. They
have invested and so far their re-
turns have been good. Overall has
put most Of his coin in gold mines,
oil wells and orange groves on the
coast and up to date has been success
full. Now he has interested Brown and
it, is thought probable that the pair
will remain on the coast. settle and
become real business men. One rea-
son Brown made the trip to the coast
was to look over 2 Lining proposition
Overall had interested him in to the
extent of several thousand dollars.
Before he departed he received en-
couraging reports of the progress OF
the mine from Overall's father, who
was looking after the affairs of both
pitchers. Brown decided to make the
trip and see for himself When he
went away he said that if the propo-
sition looked good to him and the
prospects We're bright Of getting a
large sum Of money out Of the invest
ment he would not come back to Chi
cago to pitch ball for the Chicago
Cubs. Overall said the same thing.

QUINCY, Dec. 22.-The directors of
meeting yesterday Afternoon at the
office of President Harry F. Hotter
and discussed the letter sent by Presl-
dent NJ. f. Justice, giving the result
of the vote on Quincys release and
the terms by which the Quincy asso-
citation secures its release. The Cen
trail association is to be paid $1,000
within six weeks end the ASSOCIATION is
now confronted by the proposition If
raising the cash. The directors voiced
the sentiment of the fans when they
voted to drop out of the Central asso-
citation. The officers CT the local club
fought for this one thing for three
months and finally succeeded in getting
what they went after, even if it takes
a bunch of money, but the price is
not as big as it may seem. If every
fan will make such donation as he
can spare, he will not feel that he
has made a sacrifice, while the asso-
citation sill experience no difficulty
in raising the amount pledged.
The directors decided to get busy
at once and this morning the differ
ent committees started out on their
rounds through the city visiting the
merchants, 1.-The factories and the in
dsyidual fans. 1t will, of course, be
impossible to call on everybody with
in the next few days, but the fans
have expressed their willingness to
assist in raising this money and a
subscription by mail answers the pur-
pose just as we'll. Those who do not
care to do this can call up any one of
the directors by telephone and some
one will call.
Quincy has already received more
than S2,500 worth of advertising out
of the fight put up by the local asso-
citation for it's release and as this city
has the assurance of President Tear
ney, of the Three-Eye league that it
will be given a franchise in his cir
cult, the money to be raised will be
well spent. Ever since Quincy has had
league ball the fans wanted Three
Eye ball and now the opportunity is
offered them TO get it. There is not a
fan in the city who would not gladly
contribute anywhere from 81 to $40,
according TO his means, to secure a
higher class ball, for the assurance
of haTing Babe Myers back next sea
son and better team than we had
last year. Some, of course. are not
able to make big donation but every
one can give something and every lit
tie bit added makes a just little bit
more and n lot of two-bits or four
bits soon amount to handsome fig
IRE and no one should stand back
Just because he is unable to give S.
