Why All This Mystery
About FaupH:S Selection
OF Manager for HIlt0ps?

managers. In the American League
Mr.. johnson has a hand in the selec-
ton Of most of the managers n II Is
understood In this case that Harry
Wolverton Is his selection for the High
landers.
1t was reported last night that Jack
Dunn of Baltimore was being consid-
cred by Farrell. There is no doubt that
Jack would be a great leader for the
Hilltop crew. but II is doubtful II he

principal owner of that club az we'll as
the manager.

Some one also hi suggested that
Hughey Jennings Is under consideration
by Farrell. There IL not a chance in
the world Of getting Jennings. accord
ing to Q report from Detroit. as he u
tied up there for some time to como.
It all SINNERS down to .he main point
at issue, which 10 that Harry Woiver-
ton 10 here In answer to a summons
from somebody high up In baseball. He
started from California about the same
time that Chase resigned. Chase did
not resign until II was announced that
Farrell had opened negotiations With
wolverton. Now Farrell says that he
has not opened negotiations with VOL
verton.
II will be remembered that when
Stailings was made manager Of the
Highianders The Evening World printed
the fact that Stalfngs had signed q con-
tract q week before II was announced.
This information was given by q man
who had actually seen the contract. Mr..
Farrell denied It emphatically. The man
who had dug up the story offered to bet
Mr.. Farrell 80 that Stallings had
signed a contract. MIR. Farrell de-
ciined that issue. but insisted IN his
denial. A week later the new was an
nounced and II vas shown that the con-
tract was signed Just as The Evening
World had announced.
Not that 1t makes any particular dif-
ference. but what is the necessity Of all
this secrecy In baseball matters. II
anything could be gained by II nobody
would say a word. but IL In hard to un-
derstand how a ball club can profit by
denying a story n day and Affirming
II the next.

JOHN POLLOCK,

CATURDAY night Is now tho big
night for the holding OF boxing
shows In the vicinity. as shown
by the fact that eleven clubs have ar
ranged bouts to take place this evening.
Years ago mere suggestion Of bring
ing on . show on Saturday night was
met with q fiat refusal by tho man
ayers. and as a result only about two
or three small clubs held their enter
tainments on that night. Billy Gibson.
however. made the experiment a paying
venture at the Fairmont A. c. He ar
ranged q weekly series Of bouts between
well-matched boys. who while they may
not be champions furnish as a rule real
good contests.
Since the Frawley boxing law went
into operation numerous club managers
have come to the conclusion that this
night Is the best one after all. as they
can draw larger crowds than ordinarily,
owing to the fact that Saturday 10 pay
day for the mos followers Of the sport.
During the last six weeks several
more stubs have tried the scheme Of
holding shows on Saturday. with great
financial success. The chances are two

discussing the quick return from

weli-known trainer and owner Of race
horses, who arrived here on the steam
ship Lusitania. accompanied by his wife
and Carroll II. Shilling. the prominent
Jockey. They wen abroad to look over
the English tracks and also to select
training quarters for the stable OF
horses which Mr.. kohler. the wealthy
piano manufacturer. expects to race In
England next year.
The first thing Hildreth did was to
deny the report which has been circu-
lated here to the effect that he had been
ref used a license to train In England.
Hildreth said that he did not even make
application for a license. as II would be
useless for III TO DO 30. as the license
would expire at the end OF the present
year. He further stated that he JUS
went abroad TO take n look around. and
saw four races at Liverpool and on
race at Derby.
"They have fine racing over there

again In midwinter. haven't decided
