BOSTON, Mass, July 20. - Secretary
Billy Locke of the Pittsburg base ball
club and William A. Baker, a former
police commissioner of New York, ar
rived in Boston early today to arrange
for the purchase Of the Boston National
League ball team. Locke and Baker were
willing to write check at once, provid-
ing President Russell of the Rustlers
would accept 1t for the whole Of the club
stock.
Russell. however, hung on hoping to get
the two to purchase half interest, and
Join him In the ownership. A lengthy
conference was held at Russells offices
this morning, Russell trying to make
Locke and Baker see things his way and
the visitors trying to persuade Russell
to sell outright.
Bakers money is behind the deal, and
according to Secretary Locke they are
willing to leave Russell in the presi-
dents chair. with Locke as secretary
and Baker as treasurer. They want
the control Of the club, however. The
trio meet again this afternoon at the
Rustler-Pirate double header and then
again this evening. providing the details
Of the sale are not wound up before
nightfall.

next year, though II is but natural thar
major league club should hesitate to
PICK UP players who have been up and
round wanting, for the reason that there
are but few instances where they have
held their own in fast company after re-
turning.
That there should be much criticism of
the local club because 1t has not kept
pace with its rivals in the matter of
securing young material for the team is
not to be wondered at. but on the face
of the proposition the blame naturally
must fall on the shoulders of Jim Nc
Aleer. McAleer, like his predecessors is
In full charge of the local ball team. He
can release or purchase as he sees fit
There is absolutely no Interference from
any of the other officials of the club, and
he can act, If he sees fit, without con-
sulting any one. No doubt McAIeer
realizes his teams weaknesses and what
he needs to give him a position higher In
the race. yet aside from the few PLAYERS
whom Mike Kahoe has secured this year.
not a single name has been added to the
list McAleer is reported to have been on
ten-day scouting trip, yet nothing has
come OF that journey to date, SO far az
getting new players for the team. One
would naturally suppose that McAleer
would make every effort In this direction
since he is held responsible FOR the teams
showing.
The fact that Cunningham and other
players secured last fall have failed
should not discourage the effort. The
club which keeps on trying Is sure, even
tually, to land some real ball players.
No man can be expected to build up
a winning team in a single season, but
no man can ever get q winner without
putting forth every effort. Good ball
players are distributed by Santa Claus
The competition Is SO great now 1t re-
Quires every effort and a thorough sys-
tenn TO be able to compete with the other
fifteen clubs in the major leagues. In
fact, a mans capabilities as manager
depend more on what he can build up in
the way of a team than his knowledge
of the game or proclivities to inspire his
players. Surely the first essential is a
team of ball players, without which no
| manager, regardless of his ability, can be
! successful, and IL would, therefore, be
but natural to presume that the manager
or losing team would put in the bulk
OF his time trying to better the caliber
| OF his charges.
According to reports from ST. Louis
Clark Griffith is to be placed in charge
/ or the Browns as soon Garry Herr
mann gets ready to let him out. Natu-
raiiy there is not much enthusiasm in
ST Louis over this contemplated move.
because Griffith has failed with a team
which gave great promise, though con-
ditions may not have been favorable for
| a Griffith success. But Griffith stands
! high with Ban Johnson and the head of
the American League has no equal when
| 1t comes to standing by his friends john
son took care of McAleer and If the St
Louis report is correct he will also place
Griffith.

BOSTON, Mass. July 20.-There was
enough Of championship lawn tennis yes
terday In the Longwood singles to sat
isfy the most exacting follower OF the
game Sensational matches In the singles
were quite the order. and by reason Of
the keenness Of play interest was not
allowed to lapse for moment. Tho up
sets began when G. F. Touchard Of New
York, after having been on the defensive
for the major part of three sets in his
match with N. w. Niles Of Boston,
rallied and pulled the match out Of the
fire in five sets.
T. r. Pell Of New York nearly defeated
M. E. Mclaughlin of San Francisco, and
those who saw the match believed that
the indoor champion would have eliminat-
ed his opponent had he not played a
hard five set match in the doubles previ-
ously.
There was no upsets In the eastern
doubles championship. W. J. C1othier
and w. A. Larneds team work was a
little better yesterday than it was Tues
day. but the game of NJ. H. Long and c.

BY J. ED GRLLO.

Because Ned Hanion has been men
toned as prospective purchaser Of the
Boston National League club the i'm
preston seems to have been created in
his home town, Baltimore, that Hanlons
efforts are of patriotic nature, and that
he intends 70 switch the Boston team
TO Baltimore.
The town is so enthused over the pros
poets that Mayor Preston has set himself
in communication with Hanlon, trying TO
induce him to bring the major league
franchise to that city. There is, OF
course, not the slightest chance for this
being done. and HaElon is the last man
who would make such an investment
Hanlon has had years of experience with
Baltimore as base ball town. He had
one OF the greatest teams that was ever
gathered representing that city few
years back. and though It won three
remnants he had TO take IL to Brooklyn
10 prevent going into bankruptcy Bal
timore did not support a major league
pennant winner IN those days. A crowd
OF $500 was considered enormous, and
what money the owners OF the club made
was the result Of the crowds they drew
on the road
Baltimore Is not even a first-class minor
league city, for IL does not support it's
team as IL should. and no one knows this
better than Hanlon, who II such thing
were possible would never invest penny
of his own money to put a major league
club In his home town.
But that Ia not the only obstacle II
Hanlou should buy the Boston club he
would have one OF the best base ball
propositions in the country. All he need
do az to get q team which will be up In
the race and he can make more money
In one year In Boston than he could in a
decade in Baltimore. But major league
franchises are not to be had for the ask
ing and before there could be a transfer
from Boston to Baltimore every club ir
the two major leagues would have to
give it's consent.
But then the whole proposition is out
of the question, for no sane man would
from Boston to place 1t In Baltimore. II
would be about as absurd as transfer
ring the New York Giants to Alexandria
AZ developer OF young material the
American Association has never held q
prominent position among the nigh-clas:
minor leagues, and this year does not
seem TO be an exception TO the rule. Ac
Cording to a siZe-up of the best materia
in that league, which appears in another
column OF this issue II is plain to Sc,
that with few exceptions the best play
ers in that league are men who hav,
seen duty In faster company Clymel
and Cravath, two outfielders. and believed

Neither did well here, but since leaving

is particularly true of Cravath. who
seems to have developed into sluggel
of more than ordinary ability and will
undoubtedly be UP in the big show agar
