CHICAGO. Dec. 12.-Fred Clarke,
manager Of the Pittsburg National

voiced few opinions Of what is liable
10 happen IN the trading line at the big
session this week
Asked II the stories during the late fail
regarding the disposal OF HOnus Wag-
ner 10 some other club were true. Clarke
said:

asts generally. in the various Govern

aroused when their attention was call
ed, in the Sunday evening edition Of
The Times, to the fact that the pro-

TO every branch OF sport in Washing

They had considered the various in
cOnveniences such a law would bring
about, but, being the of season. they
had forgotten, for the time being,
that an extra hour meant no baseball.
