McAleer Makes Denial.

ST. LOUIS. July 19.-James McAleer,
manager of the Nationals, arrived
here ahead of the other members Of
the Washington ball club and entered
a most emphatic denial to the report
that he has been negotiating for the
purchase of the Boston club of the
American League.
McAleer says he has had no talk
with owner John l. Taylor on the
subject and that he cannot under
stand how the rumor got started, un-
less II was simply developed in the
mind of some newspaper man.
McAleer pointed to the fact that he
has a contract with the Washington
team which does not expire for an
other season, and declared he had no
intention of asking for a release.

Some amateur players.

That was a most enthusiastic crowd
that went out to see Kendall and Man
haitian play in the independence
League yesterday.
/ 1t was freely predicted that the game
would be one of the hardest fought
battles of the league and there was
no disappointment. Had Manhattan
won. it would probably have assured
the championship, but in the extra in
ming an error gave Kendall a life.
1t was one of the most interesting
amateur games ] have seen this year.

Sheridan in retirement.

Every indication at present Is that
lack Sheridan is through umpiring in
the American League.
When the veteran arbiter first an
nounced his retirement 1 was inclined
to think that he would soon change his
mind. but according to stories from Chi
cago Ban johnson has heard nothing
from Sheridan, and has appointed Har-
ley Parker his successor.
Parker is an old ball player, has had
considerable experience in umpiring in
the Central League, and may be a good
man, but / am still Of the opinion that
the American League has suffered a
great loss through the refusal Of Jack
sheridan to continue to work.

Fogel, Doom & Co.. are not overlook
ing any bets for the future.
We have heard time and again OF
late in this city that ball players were
not to be had. but I note this morning
that the Phillies have purhcased two
pitchers from the Northwestern League
on the coast. One is Hall. from Ia
coma, and the other Is Rasmussen, from
Vancouver. Both of these men have
been doing sensational work thus far
and experts who have seen them in
action declare that President Fogel has
made no mistake in investing 5000 in
the pair.
