"Wouldn't Substitute Him
for Dutch Schaefer in
Million Years."
DREYFUSS TO NAME
PRICE TO MOVES
Negotiations Unofficial, So Far as
Nationals Manager Is Con-
cerned, He Says.
By SENATOR"

Manager Jimmy McAleer of the Ma
tUn-ls, is not seeking the services of
Jack Flynn, the Pittsburg first-sacker,
who has been tried and found wanting
in the National League. President Bar
ney Dreyfuss, of the Pirates, may like
to unload Flynn upon the local, club,
but his chances of success are remote.
mo, I'm not looking for Flynn" said
Manager McAleer today. Il never saw
the boy play in my life. From all
hear he is just a big fellow, rather\slow
on his feet, and not at all suited for
my team.
Furthermore. with Dutch Schaefer
playing the kind of ball he is right now,
there isn't a chance in million years
that l shall get anybody for that bag
Certainly am not seeking Jack Flynn.
haven't wired the Pittsburg club, and
don't want Flynn. That's all 1 know
about it
Tomorrow Barney Dreyfuss will most
likely put a price on Flynn, following a
telegram from President NOyeS asking
one. No matter what price is made
Manager McAleer will hardly consider
it, as the entire negotiations are being
conducted unofticially so far as he is
concerned.
Flynn is on the bench in Pittsburg
because of his light hitting. His Dat-
ting average this season is only .2ll, not
enough to entitle him 10 d regular place
on championship team. DreytuSS has
yet to be informed that the Washing
ton club has changed its policy and is
now building up its own team instead
of its competitors. Manager MCAleer is
likely to inform him with abruptness
and eclat, whatever that last may be
The Nationals boss was pleased to
hear today that Tate, the crack first
baseman of the Youngstown club, has
not had his arm broken, and that in
all likelihood will be in shape to join
the Nationals before the close of the
American League season, if he is
needed Tate was hit by a pitched
ball on the arm and, until a careful
examination had been made by a spe-
cialist, 1t was thought that he had
fractured bone. After the specialist
concluded his work he announced
that Tate had escaped a fracture and,
with a rest, would be able to get
right into the game again.
Tate is the premier smuggling first
sacker of the o. & p. League, and
has been bought by Manager McAleer
for the Nationals. He is not likely
to be brought here until next spring,
however, as Spencer. of the Rochester
club Will be tried out this fall, and
there will be little chance for Tate.
Two More Days At Home.
Two more days remain before the
nifty Nationals will hit the road for
their final swing around the Western
wheel for the season of 1911. Tuesday
evening at o'clock they will embark
at the Union Station for St Louis,
where they open their foreign pilgrim
age on Thursday.
