M'CANN READY TO FIGHT O'NEIL
 TO THE FINISH
Local Magnate Says Aviator Dan Has Not Shown Much Re-
 spect For the Rules

Now that the attention of Connec- tieut league fans has been attracted to the fact that Dan O'Neil of the New Britain team failed to file the contracts of his players until week ago, and that Manager McCann of the local club was violating a rule Of the National agreement in using a player from another club in the same league signed after Aug. 1st other 1t, tie matters concerning the internal elements of baseball clubs crop out.
 Manager McCann says that he has obtained the consent of every manag-- CT in the league to play Pitcher Swanson with the exception Of Dan O'Neil, and that he does not want the latter's consent To show what the other magnates think of using Swan son, Manager McCann received the following letter from Manager Finn of the Waterbury club this morning, sorry you couldn't land the whole Hartford club. More power to you. Furthermore, Manager McCann says that the deal for Swanson was com pleted before Aug. 1St. but that Swan son was not turned over to the local team.
 Should O'Neil push the matter. Nc Cam has more powder to fling Dack. He has learned that Pitcher Webb, who was recalled by the P1ttspurS Club. never signed with the Aviators, as the Grand Rapids club from which he was obtained by the Pirates object ed as they can under the agreement being another Class B team, WepD pitched and won seven contests for O'Neil's crowd, starting them on that remarkable spurt which they are de- termined not to let up. Because Grand Rapids put up such a fight, Pittsburg recalled Webb and < sent Pitcher Moore on here. The rules or the National agreement say that a player must sign a contract before he participates in any game. such games in which he plays, while un- signed, shall be forfeited to the oppos- ing clubs.
 Manager McCann stated today that he had no intentions as yet of get ting new grounds for the club next season. The lease to Newfeld Park has two years yet to run.

 Who will stop those Cubans? The Mechanics can't do it.. the Finnegans have finished their series with them, while the other clubs are falling by the way side each day Theirs has been the most marvellous squirt known to Connecticut League baseball.
 The Mechanics lead the league in the number of extra inning sessions, having played IA to date. Eight ten inning battles have been turned in; two for eleven sessions; two for twelve; one for fourteen; and one for sixteen. Our two longest were at Newfield Park, the 14 inning, 6-6 played off today, and the Is inning, a 7-2 defeat by Holyoke.
 The Hartford club last year pulled in a big pile on the sale of Pitchers Fisher and Evans and Second Base man Warmer Now comes the an nouncement that Pitcher Darby OBrien has been disposed of to the Boston Red Sox.

Yes terday's double victory over the Pa permakers placed them on an equal footing with the Mechanics in the number of wins. The residents how ever have lost three less.

Evangelist Who Left Waterloo Sud-
denly Now in London.
Waterloo, Jan. 1s.-The Rev. Sam
Small. well-known lecturer, evangelist,
writer and temperance orator, who dis
appeared mysteriously from Waterloo
last June while editing the Golden
West Magazine, has just been heard
from. He is now in London, writing
for a magazine.
Considerable mystery surrounded the
departure of Evangelist Small He
came here last winter and effected the
organization of a company to publish
a magazine to be devoted to the inter-
ests of the middle west, and succeeded
in getting out three issues. During
the time he was here he and his wife
had rooms at one of the leading hotels
and his daughter, Mrs. Jolly, the widow
of an officer who died in the campaign
waged by this country in the Philippine
Islands, lived in richly furnished apart
ments.
In the latter part of June the Rev.
Mr.. Small suddenly dropped from view
and tho inquiry has constantly been
made ever since, many people fearing
he might have been the victim of foul
play. but no trace of him could be Sc
cured until yesterday, when news was
received from Jacksonville Fla, from
a relative who says the erstwhile COM
panion of Rev Sam Jones is doing
magazine work in London.

Des Moines, Jan. 1S.-The name OF
Chairman John Cownie, of the state
board of control, has been mentioned
in connection with the Second district
congressional situation The resigna-
tion of Congressman Dawson makes a
vacancy to be filled, and progressives
are talking much of Mr.. Cownie as a
possible candidate. His home is near
Marengo, in Iowa county.
1t is the concensus of opinion of
those who have been discussing Mr.
Cownie for the place that he would
make a strong candidate and is well
fitted for the seat in congress made
vacant by Mr.. Dawson. He was Of
fered the nomination in the district in
1901, when John M. Rumple was elect
ed, but refused it,
When the progressives We're talking
most strongly of running a candidate
against Governor Carroll in opposition
to second term for him, Mr.. Cownie
was mentioned as likely candidate
His term as a member of the board OF
control expires April and it is "doped
among politicians that he will not be
reappointed as he was not Governor
CAROLS original choice for the place.
Reports from the Second district are
to the effect that Attorney G. A. Han
ley, of Davenport, a strong progress
sive and proposed candidate for Mr.
Dawson's seat, will not enter the con-
test. He is quoted in Davenport papers
as asserting that he will not be a can
didate for congressional honors in the
district under any circumstances
The papers in the district are also
giving considerable space to the demo

strong effort to induce former Con-
gresham Martin j. Wade to enter the
lists again. Mr.. Wade was in Des
Moines last week appearing before the
supreme court and While here declared
he would not consider a proposition to
make another try for congress
With these refusals of all talked of
candidates and none others announcing
themselves, things are much up in the
air politically in the Second district
