The one days respite on account OF
the flooded condition of the ball park.
gave those directly interested In the
Washington ball club an opportunity to
reflect upon recent developments and to
tentatively plan upon the course to fol-
low now that James McAleer is entirely
out Of the organization.
Hardly had the report been circulated
that McAleer was to reopen negotia-
tions for a block of stock in the Boston
club before the over enthusiastic fans
commenced to file suggestions at head
quarters, with the result that there Is
hardly an available man In baseball who
has not already been nominated for
the berth which McAleer is vacating.
So numerous have been the PROPOSE
tions advanced to President Tom Noyes,
and the rest, that Ii Is almost impos-
sible to decide as to just who is the
most popular man for the managerial
place. Already at least a score Of names
have ben proposed, but. for the benefit
Of the fans It might as well be stated
here that all OF this Is useless, as 1t can
be stated on absolute authority that the
directors of the club have no intention
whatever Of seriously considering the
question of a 1912 manager until well
in the winter, when the annual meeting
is held
Possibly An Outsider. =
From what can be learned there Is
not a man living who can say who
the new manager will be, but the
writer today received from high
authority a strong intimation that the
man who is to take McAleer's place
will not be selected from the rank
and file of the present team.
Mcbride, Schaefer, Elberfeld, and
several others have friends who
would like to see them directing the
Nationals, but the impression among
Is taken 1t will be found that the new
manager will be an experienced man
who is through with his playing
days, and who can be counted upon
in an executive position being espe..
cially valuable in trades, drafting, end
the purchase Of new men.
1t is pointed out that as desirable
as may be a playing manager the
biggest feature, SO far as Washing
ton Is concerned is in obtaining new
blood and in order to accomplish this
purpose 1t will be necessary to have
one well versed IN the politics OF the
game and capable Of thinking faster
than those with whom he will be call
ed upon to deal.
Ordinarily when a new manager 3

PL ANS FOR TEAM
AROUSING MANY
Opportunity to Discuss McAleer Successorship Afforded
by Interference of the Rain With the Opening St.
Louis Series Yesterday.
BY SENATOR

I leans strongly toward Harry Davis. For
years Davis has worked hand in hand
with Connie Mack, the shrewdest tao
san sRs In In. EG% 1ss his az Se
game. and, now that he has about fin
ished his career as a player, he is cited
as an ideal man for the place here.
However, Cleveland claims TO have
Davis under contract for next season.
Cleveland's Manager.
Early In the year the condition Of
the Maps was most tangled. and 1t was
not surprising that Owner Sommers
was casting about for a manager.
While he was on his hunt he placed
George Stovall In charge, and the big
ly that the strongest sort Of a petition
has been presented for the retention
Of Stovall as head.
What disposition the Clevelanders
will make OF this petition is, of course,
problematical. but II they should decide
that Stovall will do II will be up to them
to find a proper place for Davis; that is,
presuming that the much-talked-of con-
tract is actually signed.
If the directors of the Nationals
should cut In with an offer to relieve
Cleveland Of Davis it would relieve
the situation greatly. That this will
be done Is said to be far from improb-
able.
mas Deeu
ed, there is another man--Billy Murray
who has strong backing for the posi-
tion Of manager. Murray was getting
along swimnlingly with the Philadelphia
team In the National League until a
sudden switch OF ownership left him
out. and since that time he has de-
voted himself to scouting duty for the
Pittsburg Pirates. Like Davis, Murray
is a thoroughly experienced baseball
man. and II his services can be OBJ
tained he is likely to receive lot OF
favorable consideration by the directors
here.
There is a persistant rumor in certain
baseball circles here that Ned Hanlon
is slated for a position of considerable
Importance in the Washington club, but
investigation fails to show justification
for such a report.
former Baltimore leader made efforts
to learn for just what sum HanlOn
could obtain a controlling interest here,
but there was nothing but discourage
ment in their paths, and the scheme
was abandoned. Since Hanlon has
figured prominently in the dealings for
a transfer in the Boston Nationals. but
little success has attended his efforts,
and he is still in Baltimore, apparently
out Of the game.
The American League is such a closed
corporation that II would require the
the introduction of any magnates, and
It has yet to be proved that the presi-
dent would agree to have Hanlon and
friends become prominent factors in the
league that Is at present so prosperous.
. We have It from President Noyes that
nothing concerning the selection of the
new manager will be done until the
winter Is well advanced, and IN the
meantime all talk Of McAleer's success
sor is likely to prove idle gossip.

Boston Fans Hope
For Better Days

BOSTON, Sept. 16.-Boston baseball
fans today are looking forward to i'm
proved conditions In Boston's American
League club. following the closing OF
the deal yesterday whereby James r.
McAleer and others obtained half IN

McAleer has returned to Washington,
and is not expected to return here per-
manently until the first of the year.
when, together with Robert r. McRoy,
he will take charge OF the Office and
begin definite preparations for next sea-
son.
Already work has begun on the new
park in the Fenway, and II is expected
that this will surely be \finished by
April. From one close to the club Of

corporation will pay an annual rental of

While nothing is admitted concern

that McAleer put up $4,000 of his
own funds and that the rest of the

The official statement issued after
the deal had been made was as fol-

The passing of John Taylor takes
from hasebal one OF IT'S greatest lights.
He has had more free advertising in the

Cent Charlie Murphy He was al
ways good for a sport writer's copy.
He'd say anything about anybody, car
ing not who was hit or what the results
might be. He was one Of those who
refused to obey implicitly the head Of
the American League, and on this ac-
count soon was at loggerheads with
him. However, Taylor was always a
sport. through and through. He was In
the game more for the fun than any
thing else, and he always managed to
get lot of fun out of 1t. Many OF
his acts were Ill judged, though, and
in the last three years he has rapidly
lost popularity in Boston. II Jim Nc

soon have the fans fighting to get into
his park. even as It. used to be I'VE

Hunter Sore Over
H. Having to Quit Ball

PITTSBURG, Sept. l6.-Fred Hunter
Is to Quit baseball, he says, today.
Hunter holds warm spot In the
hearts of the fans here and his re-
lease to the Indianapolis club created
quite stir in local fandom. Fred went
to indianapolis last week, but returned
TO Pittsburg to discuss the transfer with
President Barney Dreyfuss, and left
again for Indianapolis-but not to play
baseball. -
Hunter has been on the Pirate roster
as ffrst-sacker and there are many who
believe he would have made good II he
had been given more Of a show. He
is fast fielder, good hitter, and, while
he did not run bases in as dashing a
due to inexperience on the base lines
and poor coaching.
II am goirg back to Indianapolis. as
I nike the city, but think my base
pall days are over" said Hunter this

was sent to Pittsburg determined to
make good, and believe I did, but 1
nave not been given the proper show
due me.
Bench Discouraged Him.
There is really nothing personal be-
tween Captain Clarke and me, as I
never knew Fred before 1 joined the
Pirate club. but have been left on the
bench so many times, when feel that
could have materially helped the club,
until 1t Is enough to disappoint any
player.
II win not report to the Indianapolis
club under the present conditions of my
trade. Baseball Is my profession, and
have followed 1t with a zeal and hope
of landing permanently with a big
league club, but 1 certainly do feel I
have not been given fair show here.
! will take up some other work in In
which I think are coming to me, are
made, will get back in The game and
try to hook on with some other big
league club and show the Pittsburg
management just what I can do. Other

The Other Side.
Hunter was in conference with Barney
Dreyfuss for some time, and It is stated
the head Of the club told Fred he had
been let go on account of his poor head
work on the bases and some bone
head" stunts he had pulled or when he
was given chance to show his ability.
Hunter has not had the ability to
make him jump in as a finished player,
but he looks good to round into condi-
tion for a first-class initial bagman, and
if he reconstders his statement and re-
turns to baseball, 1t can safely be pre-
dicted that he will land with the fast
boys again and make good record.

Marty O'Toole May
Face Giants Today

PITTSBURG, Sept. 16.-Following the
tussle with the Cubs in which they
landed three out of four games, the Pi-
rates today inaugurate series with the
Giants.
The New York aggregation looks like
a pennant winner, but the series may
enable Chicago to creep up on them to-
day. McGraw and his men arrived yes
terday, and have been resting up for
today's game.
Manager Clarke may use Marty
O'Toole this afternoon, although 1t is
not certain that the $22,50o pitcher is
altogether At. McGraw hasn't peeped
a word, and it's toss-up whether he
will use Mathewson or Marquard.

catcher, is the man who discovered
vean Gregg, the left-hander to whom
the Maps owe their position In the
American League race. and who has
been the pitching sensation of Ban
Johnson's circuit this season.
Sugden was with Vancouver, and
also keeping a close watch on the ath-
letes of the Pacific coast with inten-
tions of tipping Cleveland off TO any
player who promised to develop.
'Speck'' Harkness was with Butte.
Mont, in the Northwestern League in
1908. Sugden saw him and wrote the
Cleveland club about him. Joe got no
reply from Cleveland. and let the mat
