leave here in a few days 10 see Owner
Frank Farrell. Of the New York Amer

up by long-distance telephone last night.
and they had a long talk, and Clymer
admitted to-day that he will go to New
York in a few days. and that he will
probably see Farrell. He will neither af-
firm nor deny that he has been offered
the management Of the Yankees, saying
that he is in such a position now that
he cannot say anything.
Clymer is part owner Of the Wilkes

BUFFALO WANTS STALLTNGS

where his abilities have earned him such
great respect among the eity's fans. Buff
falo can afford 10 erect a monument 10
the old adage anent the Ill wind"
While II is known that Stallings has
always had a soft spot in his heart for
his old team in spite of the fact that he
fought them with Newark in 1908. still it
seems doubtful whether he would con-
sent 10 go back TO them.
There are too many clubs in both the
big leagues that need able managers to
allow Stallings 10 go back TO the Eastern.
II Ban Johnson so wished his influence
might keep a man out OF the American
League. but II is doubtful II the National
League would stand for any further die
tation from him than they have already
put up with. Johnson is also far too
wise man to tamper too much with the
love OF fair play existing in the feelings
OF baseball fans. Thirdly, there is the
business end of the proposition. Stallings
has made the New York team a money
maker and could be expected to do the
same for another club

The last day OF December. 1909. saw
IS cars manufactured in the old and
outgrown plant OF the Ford Motor
company-the first day of 1919 saw %
cars shipped from the new Ford plant
at Highland Park. The change was
made quickly and quietly without
brass band. clam-bake or ball, but
nevertheless il was thoroughly done
and the various departments are al
ready settled down 10 regular routine.
The old factory on Piquette-ave.,
will be used as a parts factory, tool

The present capacity OF the new
plant is 200 complete automobiles pei

at rest the rumor which has secured

that the buildings were unsafe ana

izing that they have fast team TO

away. as they are more evenly
matched Than was the case last Sat
urday. when they met the Burroughs
team. The Franklin boys maintain
reports that the Franklin-st. Settle
ment shelters a rough team, would
quickly dispense with that idea after
witnessing a game between them and
team Of their own weight. The
Franklins and Riversides have always
been forced TO fight against handicaps,
owing 10 the location of their gymnas-
iums. In the Associated and lndepen-
dent leagues in which these teams
played, the slogan OF their opponents
often was Get the Riversides and
Franklins." In this undertaking they
found hard task as there has never
been lack of sand and gameness In
either aggregation.
