HUGHEY, JENNINGS
LOST CHANCE TO

Decided Phillies' Star, Then
With Scranton, Was Still
"No Good"

DETROIT. Aug, 25. - Had Hughey
Jennings and Connie Mack had the
proper hunch, they probably would
have hung on to a certain pitching re-
cruit they had on the Tiger or Athletic
rosters a couple Of years ago But al
though the youngster bore the name OF
Chalmers, so we'll known in Detroit and
also throughout baseball circles for OBJ
viOus reasons. Hughey cut the young
ster adrift, and just now he ranks next
to Grover Cleveland Alexander in win

he is pitching better ball than Alexan-
der, his latest feat being to shut out
the Giants.

dict Chalmers has proved the scout
was wrong.
Chalmers is a graduate of the semi
pro teams around New York city. Upon
the occasion of his team winning the
New York Herald trophy, a few years
ago, Chalmers friends begged Clarke
Griffith and John McGraw to give the
young pitcher a trial. Neither. how
ever, was trying out semi-pro pitchers,
and Chalmers had to wait. He first Sc

him loose. Chalmers caught on with
Scranton, and then graduated to the

Graw could use a pitcher who has won

WASHINGTON WOULD
HAVE BIG BOWLING
CONVENTION HERE
Next National Event For
This City, If Business
Men Say So.

Whether the 1912 tournament Of the
National Bowling Association will be
held in Washington, depends now upon
the business men of this city. The
proposition received decided impetus
last night at a meeting of the bovIers
at the Chamber of Commerce, when it
developed that $500 already had been
subscribed for the project.
1t is estimated that the expense of
the tournament will be between $4,000
and $4,000, and with thorough canvass
of local financiers, the additional
amount may be easily obtained.
Thomas Grant and G. G. Hammer,
of the Chamber of Commerce, were ap-
pointed TO go to New York to meet the
directors of the National Bowling Asso-
citation. This trip will be made next
Saturday. at which time bids for several
cities will be made for the tournament.
Annual tournaments heretofore held
have proved a good Investment for the
cities in which :he howlers met. The
tournaments have a large following OF
business men.

PRESIDENT FOGEL
STILL SEEKING To
TRADE EARL MOORE
Many Suggestions Are Made
To Land Best Twirlers
From Other Teams.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 2.-Though
Earl Moore twi-led excellent ball yester-
day, only to meet with defeat in four
teen innings. President Fogel. of the
Phillies. is still seeking to part with the
big fellow.
Here are some of the trades which
nave been suggested by President
Fogel and Mana ger Doom.
With ChiCs go-Moore for Pitcher
Rueloach. big right-hander. and Out
fielder Schultz, who leads the country
in home runs this season. having made
twenty to date.
With Brooklyn-Moore for Pitcher
Nap RuCker, who is rated as the best
southpaw in the National League, If not
in the country.
With New York-Moore for Pitcher
Rube Marquard, a southpaw, whose
record of victories this season is nearly
as remarkable as that of Alexander, the
Philie5' sensation.
With Pittsburg-MoCre for Pitcher
Adams or Pitcher CImnitz. 5oth right

Only Washington Newspaper Man
With the Nationals.

DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 25.-With
nearly all the baseball folks out
this way accepting the report that
McAleer is 10 become a perma-
nent fixture in Washington as a reg
ular stockholder and officer Of the
club, the experts have already com
menced to figure on the prohaole
manager Of the team for next year
Thus far but two names have been
man Elberfeld. When McAleer ap-
pointed Mcbride field captain OF the
Nationals he praised that player with
out qualification, and IT is known that
the field leader is one or the closest
men to the one who is now directing
the fortunes of the organization.
Elberfeld, on the other hand. while
having no official capacity, has play
ed a most prominent part in the ol-
rection of the team At Atlanta he
CAV Invaluable instructions to the

suited more than once since the reg
ular season commenced. When Elber-
field was, without warning, thrown In
charge of the New York Highlanders
a couple of years ago, he was not
particularly impressive as manager,
but since then he has changed his tao
tics entirely, and is recognized as one
of the ablest tacticians on the dla-
mond.
McAleer is having little to say about
his future relations with the ball club
and has not discussed the matter OF
q manager with the newspaper men,
but, should he succeed in his present
plan OF obtaining a large block Of
stock, the feeling is that he Will
choose his playing representative
from among the players now in the
lineup, with Mcbride and Elberfeld
as the favorites.
As far as can be learned no imme-
diate developments are expected in
the deal for a purchase of stock by
McAleer. He was in consultation with
Ban Johnson in Chicago and the idea
q that all the future negotiations
will be conducted through the head of
the league, who. after all, is the most
important parsonage when the mat
ter of stock transfer comes up. Should
McAleer buy and decide to appoint a
manager from the team that is now

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Conficting
