Ban Johnson Willing to Give $500

Ed Walsh Never Made Charges, and
Head of League Says Highlanders
Bat as Well on Road as Home.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. July 23.-Five hundred
dollars reward is offered by the American
League for evidence tending to show that
any player or club in the league Is using
or countenancing tipping off signals of
an opposing team. Any player involved
will be blacklisted from organized base
ball for all time to come This bit OF in
formation, in addition to the fact that
Jack Sheridan may become manager of
umpires in the American League, or given
some other exalted position, was handed
out by President B. B. johnson on his
return to Chicago from the east yester-
day.
Il made a thorough investigation while
in the east in regard to the alleged tip

time ago. Neither could I find out that
Pitcher Ed Walsh Of the Chicago Ameri-
can League club had ever said he be-
lieved there was such system of signals
employed.
"There is no one more concerned about
1t than myself, and l will pay $500 to
any man who produces proof that any
improper signals were used. The fact of
the matter is that the New York players
have been batting just as strongly when
away from home as on their own grounds
and this in itself should disprove the
charge

ST. LOUIS. Mo, July 23.-In conversa-

Chicago Cubs the best chance NO

the Athletics will be there alongside of
either the Giants or the Cubs.
I'm Bender, Plank, krause, Coombs and
Morgan, Manager Mack has one of the
best pitching stats in either league Be-
sides. he has just the right mixture of
fast youngsters and hard-hitting veterans
TO put into the field a dangerous combi-
nation.
Mind you, I'm not counting the Red
Sox and the Highlanders out OF the race.
but Mack's pitching stan is going so well
that Philadelphia should qualify for the

brought about by Raymond will forever

YOUNGSTER IN A. A.
WHO WILL COME UP
Major League Scouts Can
Find Everything But Catch
erS in Association.
Special Dispa tch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MILWAUKEE, July 23.-The major
league scouts who have been doing the
small leagues about the country in search
of available talent for the big clubs are
now turning their attention to the Ameri-
can American. even though they can
draft but one player from each club
of the A. A. The major league clubs
figure that If they can land young star
they can well afford to pay good price,
for real stars are scarce. They do not
want the old ones. nor those who have
been UP and failed to make good; they
want the young players who appear like
corners.
OF the young players in the association
who look good enough at this time for a
trial in faster company might be men
toned the following list:
Pitchers-Yingling. Boice Otis and Bas-
kettle of Toledo; Kaler and Packard of
Columbus: Decanniere ard Richter. Louis
Vile; Hardgrove of Indianapolis; O'Toole
and Ryan of ST. Paul; Schardt, Cantwell
and Cutting of Milwaukee.
F'irSe base-Hunter OF Kansas City and
Aubrey, ST. Paul.
Second base-Downs of Columbus and
Hinchman of Toledo.
Third base-Boucher of st. Paul.
ShOrtStOp-BuCier OF lOleQO ana McCOr-
mick of st. Paul
Fielders-Murray, ST. Paul; Moran and
Rafferty, Kansas City; Chadbourne, Indi-
annapolis. and Reilly, Columbus.
OF the above pitchers, Yingling, Otis,
Packard, Decanniere and Cutting are
left handlers. Yingling gives great prom
Use. OF the young right handlers, Kaler
and Hardgrove look awful good, also
Schardt and O'Toole and Ryan are
booked back for the big leagues. Hy
West and Robinson of Toledo are both
right handlers and deserve a place in
faster company. Tom Dougherty of Mil
waukee Is another who should have been
in major league company the past two
years. Minneapolis is relying upon sea-
soned pitchers, having Fiene, Altrock
Patterson and Hughes.
Hunter Is a promising first baSeman,
being fairly hard hitter, big and lively
1Downs will no doubt go to big league
club. and 1t will be surprising il st. Louis
lands him. st. Louis would have given
considerable to have Jimmy Williams
back, but Joe Cantillon refused to listen
to offers Mr.. Hedges made for him.
Harry Clark of Milwaukee and Elwert
of Toledo are both good third basemen
and are easily better than some up in
faster company. AltiZer, whom Charlie
Comiskey let go to Minneapolis has been
and playing great ball. Lewis is also
playing a great game at short for In
dianapolis, but like Altizer he has been
up before. Clymer and Cravath have
been doing much to hold Minneapolis up
with their batting, and Newt Randall of
Milwaukee has been hitting like fiend,
but all three have been in the ma jors
before At that they are not far shy of
big league caliber.

BURWELL WANTS
TO BE SPEAKER
Hopes to Have Smith
Strength Behind Him.

Atlanta, Ca, December Wv. H.

Holder for the spealQership of tie
next house. He states that many of
the new members refused to commit
themselves directly on the speakership
now, preferring to wait until thew
come to Atlanta next June, indicating
tkat the fight for the plum would be
rather hot one. Mr.. Burwell seemed
hopeful that on the final round
up he would have votes enough to win
him the place. Mr.. Holder, on the
other hand is working hard to retain
the leadership it is said, and has many
promises of support. 1t i5 expected
that the selection of the speaker Will
bring on a pretty contest at the be-
ginning of the next session.
The race will serve largely to do.
termine the alignment of the new
house. MFR, Burwell has always been
warm supporter Of Governor Smith
and the Smith following is expectetl
TO line up behind him to a consider
able extent. Mr.. Holder, on the other
hand, has not been a Smith advocate.
and his strength will come from the
antl-Smith element in the house to a
great extent. AT present this is the
alignment, although the senatorial con-
test may change affairs considerably
by the time the legislature meets,
