Second Baseman Realizes
Days as Player Are
Nearly Over.
SHOULD MANAGE
MINOR LEAGUE
Kid Is One Of Most Popular
Players With Washing
: ton Fans.

The question of the retention or re-
lease Of Norman Elberfeld by the WASH
1ngton Ball Club, Is one that will be
left entirely to Manager Griffith.
AS has been pointed out before, the
second baseman is anxious to get away
from the Nationals as he realizes that
his days as player are speedily draw
ing to a close and he should make pro-
vision for permanent future as man.
ager Of some minor league club. He
has applied to the owners here for his
release and, It Is understood. has sew
eral offers under consideration that are
most attractive.
Among the Washington players there
1s none who Is more popular with the
ordinary fan in this city than Elberfeld,
still II 1t is to his benefit and he feels
that his days as an active major Lacquer
ap over, the owners here do not want
to stand in his way and the indications
are that he will be given the requested
permission to SO arrange matters that
ne VIII not have to worry about place
in the years to come.
His nervy style of standing at the bat
ana rlsking even his life rather than
pull has resulted in Elberfeld being
pattered In nearly every part Of his
body and this has had much to~do in
getting him to arrive at the decision
that he had better try to quit the ma
jors.
One feature that has enhanced the
American Leagues prestige that has
been generally overlooked has been the
fact that Ban Johnson has succeeded in
getting Frank Huff. who has been the
most valuable scout for the Chicago
Cubs, to quit the National League for
the younger circuit.
From now on HUFF will scour the
bushes looking for American League
talent while President Murphy, of the
Cubs, is casting about for another dis

According to the official figures, the
three rockies the Nationals obtain from
the Rochester Club of the Eastern
League are all under 300 in their hit

by a single point TO crawl into the magic
class. He stands twenty-fifth with totals
of .2aB.
Moeller played in 1O1 games. made 65

1t necessary to cancel his engagement

The growing demand for a change ia
the conditions for the Gli1den tour sives
indication of being successful. General
dissatisfaction exists. not only among
the tourists, but also with the makers
over the present method Of running the
tour. The manufacturers contend that
the event has aegsnerated into a ruad
race. and that the authorities had lost
sight entirely of the touring end of the
contest. 1t is said that several :nakers
declared there were plenty of road races

Phillies Will Play
Giants Before Cubans

The Phillics will play their inal game
with the Cubans tomorrow, and have
arr anged to play two gnmes with the
New York Giants before leaving the
island for Florida. The players will
spend about ten days in Florida, pley-
ing several games with teams there be-
foIe starting for hcme.
Captain Lobert and his men agree
that the Cuban ball teams ara pretty
hard to beat and strong enough TO give
any major league team an argument.
Mendez. the star pitcher Of the Ha-
vana team. who shut the Phillies out,
to 0, last Monday, IS considered good
enough TO held his end up with any of
the star twirlers in either the National
or American League, and he has been
given the title of The Elack Mathew
son.. Lohert declares that If Il were
possible to give the Cuban a coat of
whitewash the Philiies could use him
as ole of their stars.

Giants in for Easy
Picking With Cubans

The general opinion seems to be that
In facing these Cuban contests the
Giants are IN for some soft and easy
picking. If McGraw's people win six of
their twelve scheduled battles. they will
need the break. Those dusky islanders
play the game all nine ways across.
When Almeida Joined the Reds Griff
was surprised at the Cuban's balance.
Most young fellows breaking into the
big show from the bush are generally

swarthy athlete. 1T doesn't seem to
worry you much.
I'm not breaking into the big show
from the bush," was Almeida's rebuttal
II come from a team that has beaten
the Athletics and Tigers about (?)
games out of ten and that shut out the
Reds eight times out of twelve starts.
I've come from the big show of the

HIM IN NEW YORK
Negotiations Start to Gel
Vaudeville Actor,for
Giants.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-Negotiations
are under way for the transfer of Mike
Donlin from the Boston Nationals in
exchange for Jack Murray and a sum
Of money said to be 5000.
Murray's lamentable showing in the
recent worlds series Is the reason for
his being 'in bad'' with McGraw. The
red-haired lad was considered one of
the best outfielders in the National
League until he ran up against the
American League pitchers. He failed to
get even a foul tip to his credit.
Donlin held out for 5000 a year from
the Giants and capitulated only after
remaining out of the game for a year.
Joining the Giants last year he was
told to sit on the bench. He did this,
going in to hit a couple of times in the
pinches. McGraw wanted to punish
him.

LEAGUE
GETS MORE FANS

Accurate, but unofficial. figures on
the total attendance at all the major
league baseball parks for the 1911
season. show that the National
League outdrew the American by at
least 100000 which is a pretty wide
margin. The parent body. incidental
ly, shattered all attendance records by
drawing 5.SOS,17S fans within its
gates.

New York second and st. Louis third.

est in Ban Johnson's race.

The National League drew 2.102.604
in excess of the number drawn in
1910. Most shocking in the list of Ma
tional League figures are those show
ing the Boston attendance. In 1910 the
Boston team drew 1887, In 1911
Boston drew 701,420
The increased popularity of the Bos-
ton National League team had its effect
on the Boston Amer leans, ana for the
first time since the organization Of the
American League the Doves outdrew
the Red SoX.
Boston has always eeen recognized
as one Of the finest baseball cities in
the country. and also one of the best
American League cities. The fali-off IN
attendance at the Red Sox games dur
irg the past season can be attributed
mainly 20 the disruption of what was
once a near-championship organization

Vigilants can play some game.

While the American League teams
drew more people to their games in 1911
than in 1870 the real noticeable feature
of interest here Is the large gain in at
tendance in Washington. Last year
$4,000 fans witnessed the games of the
Nationals here; that is. in round num-
bers. In 1910 267,333 were the official
figures for the season. There Is a
chance that the present figures will
shrink some, too, by the time they come
through the office in Chicago, but 1t
goes without saying that the r<,w
stands and the great squirt of the team
in midseason had much to do with the
increase in attendance. Modern stands
at ball parks are a good investment,
no matter which way you look at it.
Though many seats were vacant last
year. If the Nationals can show contin-
ued improvement for a couple of sea-
sons. and get up into fifth place at the
close of the campaign, the stands on
Florida avenue will not be big enough
to hold the throngs who will want tC
Sc them in action.
