WEDDING OUT.
Comiskey Decides to Let Out Ten Of
the White Sox.

CHICAGO, November 24.-With the
training quarters practically settled on
for Corsicana, Tex, President Charles
Comiskey of the Chicago American
League base ball team and James Gala
han, his manager settled down today to
a weeding-out process. There are forty
two players on the clubs roster and ten
of these are to be disposed of.
The identity of all of those slated to go
is not known even to the owner of the
club. Deals for the disposal of players
are said to have already been started and
several youngsters who We're encouraged
by being called to the big fold will be
disappointed in a few days when they
find they have been sent back to minor
leagues for further training. 1t is also
said that the standing of some of the
veterans is not as substantial as 1t might
be and one or two of these may be weed
ed out. The team has ten pitchers, two
of these, Delhi of Los Angeles and Peters
of Minneapolis. being newcomers.

of the Mediterranean there are a multi
plicity of places where the men could be
put down, say, for six weeks 1t would
be an interesting experiment.
AS regards the financial side, the cost
need not be much more than at present.
In any case, such is the support given
the game that funds would be readily
forthcoming. There would also he an
thousands who surely would become en-
thusiastic.
Aside from base ball players, it might
not be a bad idea for some of the ath-
letes in the Olympic games to stop on
the way TO Sweden. say in Scotland,
where the invigorating air would set them
up and prepare them for the farther
northern atmosphere at Stockholm. l
could mention several places which would
readily be put at their disposal.
/ expect that the team will stop off
somewhere and likely be transshipped at
either Hull or Leith to take the local
steamer. AS many people find going to
resorts at great attitudes rather trying,
SO may some of the American team be
affected by the sudden change to a far
northern country.
The games at Stockholm will be a
great thing for that country, and l hear
that the expense is not feared at all.
1t has been laid down by Theodore Cook
that Olympic games properly carried out
cost a country 100000 from first to last.
He also gives a note Of warning that
it must not be forgotten that this total
only includes the actual games them
selves and does not cover the innumera-
BILE preparations carried out at the ex-
pense of the various controlling associa-
tons
But Sweden has earned a place in ath-
letics. In 1908 it had the third highest
number of entries, topped only by the
United Kingdom and France. Sweden
took eight first prizes against four won
by France.
It must be admitted that really great
athletes come out only occasionally, just
as a great horse does, but at the same
time the wonderful records set up in
America show a high standard of ath-
leticism. This is being jealousy watched

Over in New York they have the Ing
preston that Clark Griffith is anxious to
trade George Mcbride for Jack Knight
and Earl Gardner, though it is good
bet that no such proposition has even
been considered by Griffith. nor Is it at
all probable sthat the New York club
would be willing to make such q swap.
Knight is better hitter than Mcbride,
but not in the same class as a fielder.
Griffith is known to have a very high
opinion Of the local shortstop. During
the worlds series the new manager OF the
Nationals gave 1t as his opinion that Nc
Bride could make any catcher look like

League whereby the local club secured
Players Foster. Moeller and Spencer, the
Washington club asked for waivers on

AS was stated in these columns some
weeks ago, it was agreed at the time the
deal was closed with Rochester to turn
over Lelfvelt and Groom to that club pro-
viding waivers could be secured on them
from the seven other clubs. In the event
that some one Of the other clubs should

Most any club would be apt to take a
chance with the tall twirler who won the
last five games he pitched for the Ma
tionals last fall. Griffith, too, is not apt
to want to let him go. AS to where lei
ivelt stands in the estimation of rival
clubs. will be shown by the action the
| rival clubs take.
The waivers on this pair are being asked
for the purpose of carrying out the con-
tract with Rochester. Griffith needs

valuable a man to turn over to the
minors. Should any club refuse to waive
! on Lelivelt he, too, will be retained. for
Griffith may want to give him another
trial in right field. Being undoubtedly
the best hitter on the local team Lelivelt
| should not be turned over to the minors
without another trial.
In the event of the request for waivers
on these palyers failing, the Washington
club will carry out its part of the agree
ment with Rochester by paying cash in
lieu of the players mentioned.
According to Jack WARRIOR, his pitching
record as sent out by Rob McRoy, secre-
tary to Ban Johnson, is wrong. Ball
play keep tab on their records all sea-
son. While WARRIOR was out hunting the
other day in Freeport, ILL.,, he ran across
the official figures. He Immediately call
ed off the hunting, and set about righting
the wrong.
The American League pitching records
given out recently credit Warhop with
twelve victories. Warhop writes that 1t
should be fourteen won and eleven lost,
and he would like Mr.. Mercy to look up
the matter and have it adjusted.
Il had a little bet last season that

tons no player can do himself justice,
but 1t is safe to say that New York
would have to offer more than Knight
and Gardner, for the latter is doubtful
quantity, in order to get Mcbride away
from Griffith.
In its dealings with its players the
Washington club has always been de-
cidedly considerable. 1t has taken into
consideration the players end Of a
proposition more frequently than its
own, and in this way has built up a
reputation for fair dealing among the
ball players.
There are innumerable occasions
when the local club has given players
their unconditional release when 1t
was possible to sell them for cash.
