verified reports and recurrent rumors.
McAleer has remained under contract
with the Washington club, the result be-
ing there has been nothing done thus
far toward obtaining a man to direct
the club that is to represent this city
during the race which opens next
April. .
Means Many Changes.
No matter who the new manager may
be, it may be taken as assured that
there will be some revolutionary
changes In the personnel Of the squad
that now has a death grip on seventh
place. One of the unfortunate features
Of the Washington club during late
years has been the fact that despite its
lowly position it has paid some of the
biggest salaries in the league to inferior
players.
When CantiIIoff> was here he at.
tempted to avert this wholly unneces-
sary waste Of funds but. according to
those who know, the figures have once
more mounted high until the total is
said to be beyond the limit paid by the
Athletics and Detroit Tigers. Some of
the best paid are among the hold-overs,
men Of other days who will be forced
to vacate their berths If an aggressive,
experienced and ambitious leader is OBJ
tanned.
After a man has run bis course in
baseball he does not get young again
and this is one Of the axioms that must
be held up here for the guidance of
whoever is to take up where McAleer
has left of. The whole hope OF the fu-
ture is in new blood and fortunately
there Is more than one man on the
board of directors who fully appreciates
this following the disasters of the re-
cent regimes.
y 1t costs money to get ball players, just
as 1t does to purchase anything, but If a
good manager is signed and he in turn
injects the younger element the song
of the turnstile will be so sweet and
pronounced that the treasury will be
benefited to such an extent II will prove
a good investment.

CONTRACTS ARE TO
Be SIGNED TODAY
IN BASEBALL DEAL
McAleer Will Be Part Owner
OF Boston Red Sox Be-
7 fore Nightfall.
By SENATOR

Formal signing of papers is all that
remains to the deal in Boston where
by James r. McAleer, Robert Mercy,
and their associates obtain half inter-
est in the Red Sox from Gen. Charles
II. Taylor and his son John 1.
Before McAleers went to Boston all
details had been cleared up and when
the parties, together with President
Ban johnson, met in the Parker
House in Boston yesterday II was said
there was no hitch and that most of
the time was spent in devising ways
and means whereby an Improvement
may be brought about in the team.
Is Joint Owner.
On Tuesday The Times stated that
McAleer was not to obtain q con-
trolling interest, but WAS simply to
become joint owner with the Taylors.
This statement was made on the
authority of President Taylor, and
while IL was denied in some papers,
yesterdays developments would indi-
cate that McAleer and the men with
him have simply got so per cent of
the stock, the conclusion being that
in case OF dispute between the two
parties, Ban johnson will be the ar
bitter.
According to the statement issued
after the conference the Taylors' in
terest Is to be almost wholly finan-
cial, leaving the business manage
meEt and playing direction to McA!eer
and McRoy. who is to resign his pres
en- position as private secretary to
President Johnson. of the league.
McAleer Is to become president of the
organization, and will appoint a field
manager. Who this man will be has
not been stated, but 1t is likely that
McAleer's connection with the players
will be about the same as that of
Comiskey at Chicago. Although there
Is a utular manager Of the White Sox,
1t is really Comiskey who Is boss, and
his instructions are simply carried out
on the diamond by Duffy.
Speaker Favored.
Considering the likelihood Of such an
1t seems more than prob
able that Iris Speaker will be the man
as manager as he is popular In
Boston, and is considered q good base
ball man.
There does not appear to be any JUS
tiication for the statement that Jake
Stahl will return to baseball to pilot
the Red Sox, for recently in Chicago
that player told the writer that his re-
tirement from the game Is permanent,
and that he had settled down as a
banker. Every inducement was held
out to Stahl last spring, but he Is still
in the bank, and Is likely to remain
there.

reverberated with deafening

sister lying on the ground with

When TO Prune Trees.

One of the frequent inqniries
received by Prof. H. A. Surface,
State Zoologist of Pennsylvania,
is in regard to pruning trees. 1t
appears that many persons be.
lieve that there is an exact date
when trees should be pruned,
and doing this at any other time
would be very injurious. In re.
ply to an inquiry OF this klnd
Professor SAID;
at Is a true proposition for all
trees, that you can prune when
in Leaf If you desire TO check or
retard their growth during the
coming growing season, but If
you desire to promote or increase
the woody growth next year, you
should prune when they are DOR
ment or not in leaf, Shade trees
are often too large, and it is de-
sired merely to hold them for
shade purposes, without letting
them grow larger. When this is
to be done, 1t is better to pruue
them when in leaf, or IN Md
summer.
"However, when one prunes as
late as October. it really does not
make much difference in regard
to the effect on the tree because
the leaves have already perform
ed their functions for the year,
merely waiting the time when
they will drop away, as they are
no longer needed. At any time
when you prune, it woul be better
to pant the ends of the stubs
with pure white lead and raw
linseed oil. "
