, on forever. He's not ready to quit and
won't quit until the courts restrain him
from further participation in the great
national pastime.
When the bell taps for the big inau-
gural in Ban Johnson's pastiming plant
next spring, you'll find this agate line
in the first box score:
ABB r. H. PU A. E
Wallace. ss..................... 0
Either that or something to that eff
feet. For Wallace will shortstop for
the Sportsman's Park contingent just as
surely as William Jennings Bryan won't
get his mail at the White House. All Of
which listens we'll to the adherents OF
Col Hedges light brigade.
The New York Giants have won enough
games in Cuba to assure them of the Sc
ries, having COPIED seven out of twelve
which are to be played on the island.
McGraw was determined from the start
that he would win the series, and took
particular pains to that end. He thought
his team would appear in a better light
than did the Athletics, who won but a
few games in their campaign year ago.
The Phillies, too, lost a majority of the
games played. But it must not be for
gotten that neither of the Philadelphia
! teams presented its full strength when
| sition to take the contests as a joke Nc
Graw allowed his team to make the trip
only on condition that they present their
! full strength and play to win. He and
| his men will be back in New York in 4
week or ten days.
| Now that Hanlon, of Baltimore, has
declared he does not care to become
manager of the Boston Nationals, base
. ball men are predicting that John Killing
| will be the new manager of the Boston
! Rustlers displacing Fred Tenney, who
! has already signed a contract for next
year 1t is believed that Tenney will re-
Ceive his 1912 salary in fun, together with
! his release. Killing, who made a big repu-
| tation as catcher of the Chicago Cubs,
was traded to Boston last year and
! caught good ball. But it is said that all
along he wanted to become the manager
! of the team. Killing it is thought, is
qualified to assume charge of the team.
| He has learned every angle of inside
! baseball. He is n shrewd, level-headed
! fellow, who thinks he knows how to
handle bal players. His long service
! under Manager Chance in Chicago has
| placed him in possession Of many valu-
able ideas. and he has formally asked
! John VI. Ward and James E. Gaffney to
! appoint him. A rival for the position is
Mike Donlin, who is equally ambitious
and is highly regarded by Ward.
The presence OF John Montgomery
! Ward in baseball again is a sure guar
antee of trouble in the baseball world,
unless that astute gentleman has altered
! MS belligerent tendency of late. Ward at
various times has precipitated more than
one trouble for the national game. He
was a warrior with the Brotherhood; he
helped float the Players Union; he once
: had the audacity to carry a strictly
| baseball matter into court, and last, but
most important, he actually had the su-
! preme audacity to sue Ban Johnson for
$4,000 Islander, and recovered 5000 of the
same. The noive! Can you beat It?
