'C|NN|TY TO RETIRE
"Iron Man" Plans to Sell Inter-
est in Newark Indians.
MILLION GETS AN OPTION
Stallings and Arthur Irwin
Mentioned as New Manager
of Team.

Iron Man" Joe McGinnity, former pitch
err Of the New York Giants. has had his fill
of managerial experience, and he is plan
ming to retire as manager and owner OF
the Newark Eastern League Club. Nc
Ginnity after a season Of constant re-
verses has given an option on the club to
Frank Million. Of Newark. the owner OF
the Newark Bicycle Velodrome. Yesterday
afternoon Million and several other sport
ing men had meeting for the purpose OF
forming stock company to take over the
Newark club and franchise. The scheme
went through, and McGinnity will be asked
to consummate the deal upon his return
from Baltimore. where his club has been
playing.
The new company. which will be COM
posed entirely OF Newark men, Will pay
$4,000 for the club and plant. An offer Will
be made to George T. Stallings to accept
the managerial berth, and should he refuse
either Arthur Irwin, the scout for the
New York Yankees, or Harry Wolverton.
now with Oakland. Of the Pacific Coast
League. will receive the preference. Stall
ings, who is at present with Buffalo. had
the Newark club before he went to man
age the New York Yankees, and he was
succeeded by Wolverton. Both had a first
division club.
This year has been particularly dsas-
trous for McGinnity. Although he is ad-
mitted to have a first division team, he Is
next to last and losing regularly. His pat
ronage has fallen of to merely nothing.
where he used to draw from 1000 to 10 900
on big days. When he and II. C. Smith.
Of Chicago, bought the club from Frank
Farrell, of the Yankees. three years ago
he finished second TO Rochester That
year Wolverton was at the head of the
club, and last season McGinnity took the
reins alone. He did even better then, and
after leading for most Of the season was
beaten out by Rochester In the last two
weeks.
This spring he built new ball park ex-
pectins to duplicate his success OF former
seasons. but everything went awry. To
start with he broke his throwing arm a
few weeks before the season opened and
was kept out OF the game himself for sew
eral weeks. Then he failed TO replace three
OF his best men-Schlafly, Gettman and
characterization he lost by drafts and
trades, and 1t seems all his deals were
failures. He worked hard but could not
WIN games, and then the Newark public
ike all others, being tickle, turned against
him. He hard wordy war with some
fans" last Wednesday, and then an
nounced his intention Of quitting. McGin-
nifty went to Newark right after his re-
lease from the Giants: He paid $4,000 for
the club and spent $4,000 more on new
stands, so that ne will set his money back
on the deal.

Now for Results.

More than four months have been
spent by the new congress in sowing.
Now the time of harvest draws near
and we are about to reap. Five big
propositions are to be settled by vote
in the senate, and when that is done
congress may bring its long extra ses-
sion to a close. The votes for which
definite times have been agreed to
are: Canadian reciprocity, vote on
which is set for July %; wool revision
bill, July 81; free list bill, August / !;
congressional reapportionment, Au-
gust 8; Arizona-New Mexico statehood
bill, August z.
This will still leave the Lorimer
case pending, and as it was handed
down as unfinished business from the
last congress, it was all the more i'm
portant that 1t should have been dis
posed of at this session. Undoubtedly
IT will come up again at the first reg
ular session of the Sixty-second con-
gress next winter. Failure to vote
on it this time is a victory for Lorimer.
1t is to be hoped that the senate will
allow nothing to arise to prevent final
action on any of these FIVE measures.
Every one has been sufficiently de-
bated and the country is ready, in
sistently anxious, for the curtain bell.
Canadian reciprocity, for which the
extra session was called, doubtless has
clear track and will be accepted in
the senate without amendment by a
liberal majority. That means that
the free list bill is slated for defeat,
since it was Matched chiefly to encom-
pass the defeat of reciprocity. No one
outside a few democratic politicians
takes 1t seriously. 1t would add
nothing to our concessions from Can
ada, but only to those we make to
Canada, for all that Canada will do
in the matter of tariff reduction is
embodied in the reciprocity bill The
free list bill does not even ask Canada
for any additional concessions, but
simply proposes that the United States
make concessions which it does not
have to-
Conditional statehood and congress
sional reapportionment, having been
favorably recommended. probably will
encounter no further difficulty of
being enacted into law, though as to
