The Cantil1ons, Joe and Mike, will
spend $4,000 OF improving the Min
neapolis ball park before the opening
of the 1912 season. 1t is being trans
formed into one of the most preten-
tious ball yards in the classy minor
leagues.
William Collins, the local wrestler for
whom Sam Berry stands sponsor, will
wrestle a Canadian grappler by the
name of Hammell at the New Audito-
rum, December 80. Collins had a
chance to go to Montreal to wrestle,
but he is now in business here and
could not leave.

Manager Harry Davis, of the Maps,
explains how Ollie Pickering, released
by Cleveland because he was a wild
baserunner, became a good baserun-
ner with the Athletics.
Il hit after Pick and signaled him
when to run said Davis. collie al
ways did his best, but his best didn't
always help his team score runs. He
liked the signal arrangement.
THE other fellows don't boiler MUIR
der at me any more" he said, after
we used it a week.

This talk about Wolgast laying back
for a year and letting someone else
defend his title is bunk. Wolgast has
no idea of such a thing. The Michigan
wildcat will be boxing again before the
fans realize it. He has everything in
favor of a speedy recovery.
Fred Welsh. who was to have fought
Wolgast, volunteered to defend the
title until AID is back in the ring. but
this is unnecessary, as a champion has
at least six months grace the world
over in which to defend his title.
1t might be well for Mcfarland,
Welsh and Matt Wells to get together
in a series of the elimination sort and
have the winner meet Wolgast for the
title. They might include Willie
Richie, who gave Welsh such a fight
on one days notice. and not forget Joe
Mandot. the Southern champion.

And. speaking of -Iughey, HEX
puts this jingle across in the Chicago
Trib, moved by the latest bulletins
from Scranton, Pa.
Hughey Jennings will get well;
We shan't miss the strident yell,
And they say his leg win mend
So his hoof he may extend
With that copyrighted kick
(No one else can do the trick
Joyful news! His teeth were spared,
And his edge is unimpaired
For the gramnivoral play
(Chewing grass. that is to say).
Next year "E-yah' you will see
S~prightly as he used to be,
With the light and airy step,
Full of ginger. full of pep,
Full of all the stuff that serves
To impinge upon your nerves.
Some there are who wish, 10 doubt,
That he pleased would cut 1t out;
But when Ty Cobb comes to town
What's the king without the clown?

The Cleveland club is falling heir to
the discards of the Athletics. With
Harry Davis and Pat Livingstone in
the battle lin the coming year the
Maps will be a very dangerous foe,
for the team will be much stronger
than it was last year.

Wild Conroy, of the Washington Sen
dloiS, Will llhSiy go " SoihS SoulhSlh
league team next season. He was
wanted by Jack Dunn, of the Balti-
more club, but no satisfactory deal
could be made for him.

Clarke Griffith attracts just as much
attention as he walks down the street
in Washington as he ever did in Gin
c%innati, but it is of an entirely differ

President Murphy says that Joe
O'Brien's salary will be larger than

and that he will draw a share of the
profits in addition to the salary.

all of the men that he had on the
