\ Notwithstanding the improved showing
that the Nationals made in the last cam
paign, Manager McAleer is far from sat
isfied with his team. He feels that If he
can secure the services of several play
ers which are expected to be available
he will greatly improve conditions. In
order TO get the men he wants he realizes
that he may have to part with one Of his
star players, and it is generally supposed
that Charley Street, regarded as one of
the best catchers in the league. will be
parted with, providing the inducements

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, December 1O.-The two
Chicago clubs will try to make some
trades at the coming meeting Of the big
leagues in New York, but the names OF
the men that will be offered in trade have
not been made known by the local
magnates. President Comiskey said
that he will be on the lookout for any
kind Of deal that will help the South
Side aggregation next season.and Presi-
dent Murphy of the Cubs has already
given out the announcement that he had
figured out a combination that he would
offer to some eastern magnate but he
did not give any names.
The Sox will need couple Of good out
fielders next year, and If Comiskey can
land them by trade he will do SO. The
youngsters that were picked last sum-
mer by the Sox scouts look good, but
whenever there is a chance to get a sea-
soned player in place of an untried
youngster the "Old Roman" will never
overlook the bet.
A good first baseman would not be
turned down by Commy either, for there
is no one now that can claim that posi-
ton on the South Side team that is a
star of the first water. There has been
a report circulated that Comiskey would
bid for Pitcher Wood and Catcher Car
rigan of the Red Sox, but that goes
without saying, as every manager in the
American League will do the same II
the men are on the market. The Sox are
well fortified in the pitching and catch
ing department. but no good opportunity
will be passed to get a good veteran for
a bunch of youngsters.

BOSTON, Mass, December 1O.-Pres1-
dent John I. Taylor Of the Red Sox will
leave for New York on the midnight
train Sunday with one settled idea in
mind. That idea is the Kidding of his club
of malcontents. Taylor will not put a sale
price on any Of his ball players save one
or two Of the drafted recruits. who may
fall back into their minor league berths
Taylor will trade, however. and he has a
few players of unquestioned ability whom
he is dead anxious to get rid of. Among
these are Joe Wood, Bill Carrigan, Eddie
Cicotte and Jack Kleinow. President Tay-
lor will also listen to all offers made for
the veteran frank Smith. received from
Chicago last summer in the famous Lord
Mcconnell deal, and either Engle or Gard
ner is eligible for trade If some club cares

Taylor would like to land. Taylor made
wholesale cut in salaries after the
failure Of his team to make even Sec
ond place finish last fall. and many Sox
players have not signed contracts.
What is more, Taylor will not insist on
making trades unless they are to his lik-
ing. If the offers do not come as he
thinks they should he will stand pat
with his team, which he thinks will make
better showing than 1t did last sea-
son. But he believes that some club will
come across with the necessary material
to make a swap possible.

BY ]. ED GRILL0.

The impression seems to have gone out
that Manager McAleer will attend the
meeting of the American League in New
York Wednesday for the sole purpose OF
trading Charley Street. But nothing
could be farther from his mind. McAleer
would, If proper inducements are made,
trade his star catcher, but that does not
mean that he is determined to rid himself
Of Street. even though he has to give him
away Street has been most valuable
man for the Washington club. He has
caught most of the games by large ma
jority since he Joined the team and has
the reputation of being one of the best
catchers Of the circuit. McAleer will not
feel that he has failed in his mission if
he should return from the meeting with
Street still a member of his team.
But Street is the most logical man to
use in a trade, for the reason that he
can possibly be spared here and most any
club should be willing to give some good
ball players in return. Next to Walter
johnson, Street is the one player to put
on the market for trade because it is
possible to get something in return for
him. Players whom McAleer cannot use
here to advantage would bring nothing if
offered for trade. He probably has eight
other club wants them in either major
league. With Street it is different. He
is Undoubtedly one Of the catching stars
of the league and there Is not g. club
which could not use him to advantage
BY trading him McAleer may be able to
keep his catching staff up to the stand
ard and strengthen both his pitching
staff and outfield. Such move would be
sure to bring results.
Judged on reports that have been going
the round. the Boston club offers the best
opportunity to make a swap with Nc
Aleer If 1t is true that Owner Taylor
has some eight or ten seasoned players
whom he wants to get rid of, 1t would
seem easy enough for McAleer to make
deal with him whereby the Nationals
would loom up a much stronger team.
But. as said before, this thing of trad
ing Street is not matter of life and
death He will continue to be valuable
man here If McAleer cannot strengthen
his team by trading him.
There is no doubt that il the proper in
ducements were made, McAleer would

DETROIT, Mich, December 1O-"Im

President Frank Navin Of the Detroit
club tonight. Before l reach any deci-
sion I would like to find out what play
ers are on the market. There are several
men whom 1 am willing to exchange, pro-
viding 1 can get an even break
Detroit will get rid of two veterans, ac-
cording to rumors circulated today. There
is little chance of Navin trading any Of
his young men at this meeting. He in
tends to hold on to his recruits until
after Jennings reaches a decision on the
Yannigan trip. If the squad will be
split next spring into regulars and Yam
nigans the youngsters will stay till after
the seasons opening. While, on the
other hand. if the Yannigan team is
done away with bunch of recruits will
be sold. traded or farmed next month.
There is some talk, too of 4 change be-
ing made in the outfield. Sam Crawford
has been mentioned as figuring in a trade,
but the chances are that no other club
will give what Jennings wants for the
But Mcintyre Is not
apt to return here. He can be had by
any club that will give up something The
same is true OF one or two OF the old
pitchers though it is extremely doubtful
il it will be possible to make any ad-
vantageous deals for these men.
Jennings and Navin have gone over
the situation carefully, and if they have
come to any conclusion they are keeping
It to themselves, preferring to wait to
see what the other fellows have to offer
before they show their hand. Jennings
will be at the league meeting. and, as
usual, he is expected to be very busy.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December 1O.-Presi-
dent Hedges Of the Browns leaves Monday
night for New York to attend the Amer
lean League meeting, in hope of being
able to arrange deals whereby he will
boost the Mound city team from the rut
into which 1t has fallen.
Hedges will peddle most any Of his
players, with the exception of Wallace or
Lake. Other magnates will not be able
to dicker for these stars. Hedges failed
to name the 1911 manager Of the Browns
tonight, as expected, and it is possible
that Jack O'Connor's successor won't be
appointed until after the base ball gath
ering in New York.
That means that Hedges will personally
make the deals involving the trading Of
players.
It is said that Jim McAleer would like
to get Arthur Griggs. There is not a.
chance for the slugger to land in WASH
ington.
Hedges may make some other deal with
his former lieutenant, but the indications
are that the st. Louis owner will deal
with others. He knows James ability as
a barterer and fears that the Youngstown
haberdasher might slip him the short end
of any transaction they would pull. Be-
cause Connie Mack is the only manager
who has practically decided to stand pat
on next years team. Hedges says he
looks for the coming meeting to be a
record-breaker in a trading way. DE
troit, Chicago, Washington, Cleveland,
Boston and New York, as we'll as the
Browns are out to be strengthened, and
believe. there will be a lot of trades
pulled said Hedges to The Stars cor
respondent.

NEW YORK, December 1O.-If there is
any disposition on the part Of the New
York American League club to make any
trades for players, the management is
rather close mouthed about it. 1t is
more than probable that the team will
stand pat on the aggregation which
faced the Giants in the post season series.
Not that Frank Farrell was wholly sat
isfied with the outcome of the series, but
he can't see that anything available in
the American League will help him much
Ii there are players who might brace up
one or two points in the HighlanderS
there is no owner who is likely to let go.
A steady second baseman would help
some, but there is none to be had. An
other good catcher would help a lot, but
there is none to be had.
Mitchell goes back to Rochester for
Blair and that is as far as the club has
gone. The infield, except second base,
will stay as it is unless Priest or Elliott.

ter than the average.
The owner of the club is better salts
fled with his outfield than are some of
the fans. so there seems to be little
doubt that no changes will be made in the
outfield. Not a pitcher will be given
away or traded. for Arthur Irwin, who
acts as scout and principal adviser to the
club owners, thinks the Highlanders have
all the better of the league on promising
material, and by his advice nothing will
be let go. That makes the club practi-
cally good as it stands. 1t is argued
that the players will do better in 1911
than they did in 1910, and if that argu-
ment holds with the owner there is not
much chance that anything in the nature
of a trade will go with him next week.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December TO-
With Connie Mack touring Europe with
his bride, there is no chance of the
Athletics doing any trading Of players
at the American League meeting
In New York next week. It is
likely that either Ben Shibe or
John Shibe, his son, Will represent
the worlds champions, and neither
would attempt to make deal without
instructions from Mack. Before he left
for Europe. Mack. said: IT am perfectly
satisfied with my team as it stands, and
I expect to use 1t unchanged next sea-
son. There may be better players in
some positions, but I don't see where
I can improve in team work. and it
would be foolish on my part to break
up what has proved to be one Of the
best winning combinations ever put to-
gether. One or two Of my youngsters
are sure to show up we'll. and then we
have secured some young players who
may develop the goods. 1 shall stand
pat until the southern training trip,
and it will be time after that to talk
about any changes"
It would seem, therefore. that the
Athletics will be one Of the few teams ans
spring with almost exactly the same
lineup as it finished in the last cam
paign. There is no reason why Mack
should make a change. His team won
every honor that it was possible to
achieve. and. what is more, the chances
are that the youngsters who did so
much to make this possible last season
will show further Improvement the
coming season.
Collins and Baker are by no means
at the top of their artistic career. Both
can gain more knowledge, and 1t is
the general impression that the next
season will find this brilliant pair Of
young players doing better work than
ever before.

parent to every one that he has strength
ened his team by making the swap. IL
he does not make the trade. 1t will be be-
cause no one Offered him what he thinks
Street is worth.
In an interview given in Hot Springs
the other day Street made the statement
that he did not think the Nationals would
be able to make much better showing
next season than they had last. This is
perhaps true, though the addition of Gun
bingham and the hope of getting one or
two valuable outfielders out of the bunch
of youngsters McAleer will have under
his wing may make a wonderful change
in the team. On the face Of the present
roster Street is perhaps correct in saying
that but little Improvement is to be eX-
pected but 1t Is a long while until the
season opens. and In the meantime Nc
Aleer may get busy and secure by means
Of a trade material which will plug up
the weak spots in his team.
The injustice Of some Of the laws gov
erning base ball is illustrated in the case
of Jack Flynn. Flynn. according to re-
ports. Is figured in deal whereby he will
be sent to Kansas City in part payment
Of First Baseman Hunter, secured by
P1ttSburg. There are two or three Ameri-
yet If the National League clubs waive
on him he will have to go to Kansas
City and play for minor league salary,
though he could draw major league pay
II he could go to any one of the several
American League clubs who want him.
1t is, of course. by no means assured
that the National League clubs will waive
on, Flynn, but If they do. he Is not to be
blamed for his stand in refusing to report
to the Kansas City club. There are times
when a ball player is justified in holding
out, and Flynns case furnishes one of
them.
Aside from the possibility of few
trades being made the chances are that
to be held in New York Wednesday will
be extremely short and harmonious.
There are several clubs who have players
to trade, but whether they will succeed
in making deals is another question
Usually the manager with a player to
trade wants about ten times as much in
exchange, and for this reason there are,
Though there appears to be more smootI,
sailing for the National League club
,wners this year than for many years
past. the chances are that something Will
come up again to attract attention to the
I'D leagues wrangling proclivities.
While It seems assured that Tom Lynch
will be reelected. 1t would not be at al
surprising II a fight would be made
against the former king of umpires,
though It be a losing one The schedule.
TOO. may cause friction. for there is an
element which wants 1853 games and will
fight for 1t. On the WHOLE though, the
meeting will be tame compared to what
National League meetings usually are and
IL there are any trades at all they are not
apt to involve any prominent players.
