ST. LOUIS CLUB IS
BEST BARGAIN ON
BASEBALL MARKET
Hedges Should Have No
Trouble Selling His
Holdings.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Dec. 30.-Bargains In
baseball clubs In big leagues are getting
very scarce. but right at present there
Is one taht is going begging. The st.
Louis American League club is no
doubt the best bargain that has been
offefed on the baseball counter for
some time, and there IL little doubt
that Col. Robert l.. Hedges, the pres
ent owner. will be able to dispose of his
holdings before very long, as several
purchasers are nibbling at the bait.
The Browns have been tail enders to
the American League race for two
the buyers a little shy. but compared
with some of the other purchases of
late years in the big leagues. the St.
Louis proposition Is by far the cheap
does not look like e winner at present,
1t Is only a matter Of a year or two
for q new combination OF players to be
got together that will start the fans
Park as they used to come four years
ago, and every one knows that St.
Louis fans turn out in big crowds
when there Is any kind OF excuse for 1t.
Some Chicago capitalists are figuring
Hedges. and the deal may be closed
any day, but there is more than one
crowd seeking to get the club. The
price of the club Is cheap, for II has
not risen any since last winter. when
Hedges secured $4,000 option money
from the syndicate OF st. Louis men
that failed to go through with their
bargain after making the first payment.
It is rumored that Hedges will take the
same price that he asked last year, less
the $50. 900. for 1t this year. as he is
quite willing to get out from under the
losing team.
The St. Louis club owns its own
grounds and has one OF the best plants
in the league already built.

There has been sort Of q feud between

Things Now Changed.
Row, however. things will be changed.
Evers' friends say he Is laying for
O'Day. 1t will be worth the price of
admission alone to attend the frgt Cin-
c.rnati Chicago game of next season.
Evers will very likely have rome re-
marks to utter when he passes this
Reds bench upon which ODay will be
sitting. Likewise IL Hank takes the
ccschers box during the battle Johnny

in that erection. And 1t will keep up
all season. For Hank will not nave the
authority to order Johnny on the field.
There are other Cubs, also. who are
extremely likely to get back at ODay
for some of the things they didn't
like in former seasons. In this case
II will be the manager, rather than
the umpire who will be n most nm
happy man.
Then Hank will have his troubles
at the Polo grounds. New York fani
never have forgiven O'Day for his de.
cision on Merkle. when the latter
failed to touch second on that his.

Of q pennant. Moreover, Managei
Muggsy McGraw has often been or.

how these two men in particular will
act when Hank takes his Reds there

MONTREAL CLUB IS
IN NEED Of ONE
OR TWO PITCHERS
Lichtenhein Will Go to New
York to Secure
Twirlers.

MONTREAL. Dec. 30.-When one or
two more pitchers are secured for the
Montreal baseball club Mr.. Lichtenhein
thinks he will have got the strongest
aggregation together that Montreal has
ever had. He will go to New York q
week from today to see about more
pitchers. He has already twenty-eight
players on the roster. which by April Is
next will have to be cut down to 20.
as a new rule makes 1t compulsory that
no team shall have more than twenty
players on its list during the season.
Mr.. Lichtenhein's list at present Ia
as follows:
Pitchers-Lavender, Barberich, Taylor,
Sittont Burke, Evans, Parson, Leclaire,
Glaze, st. Martin. Carroll. and Burcheil.
Catchers - Roth. Curtis, Augemier.
Hardy and Bridges.
Infielders-Gandil, Mattress. French.
Purtell. Hartmann. and Yeager
Outfelders-Demmitt. Hanford, Rus
sell. Connolly. and Bailey.
or these Mr.. Lichtenhein says he will
sell enough to bring the roster down to
seven pitchers. three catchers, five or
six inhelders. and four or five outfield-
ers. Rochester. he says. has today only
nineteen players on its list.
In a letter he received from Pitts
burgh this morning he was asked IL he
had changed his mind about the Gandii
deal. He says he has not. There seems
to be no prospect of Mr.. Litchenhein
selling his majority interest in the ball
club at present. Having seen more OF
the directors during the holidays, he
has decided to stick with the club and
does not think he would part with his
stock even II he got his own price for 1t.
The seating capacity at the home games
is to be increased, and the management
is looking forward to a very prosperous
season.

There have been cases where former
umpires made great managers. There's
the case Of Joe Cantiilon. once man

OF the champion Millers, Of Minneapo-

Indicator. II anything, he was stricter
on the field than o'Day ever was, and.
moreover, was always ready for q

STRWAYS AND TAXES.

When taxpayers in the outlying parts
of the CITY come TO pay their tax
bills this year they will be brought 10
q realization of the cost of the rapid
transit for which they have been so
clamorous. The assessed valuations Of
property, especially IN the outlying dis
tricts, were heavily increased this year
10 enhance the citys borrowing capacity
sufficiently 10 provide subways reaching
those districts. In The Bronx, for IN
stance, assessed valuations advanced
from S4O3 100000 to S605, 100000, or
roughly 30 per cent The tax rate re-
naming almost the same, the taxpayers
OF The Bronx will pay nearly 30 per
cent more taxes than they had TO pay
last year.
The increase in assessed valuations in
Queens amounts TO about one-third, and
in the undevelOped parts Of Brooklyn
the advance in valuations was similar
to that in Queens and in The Bronx.
The increased borrowing capacity VIII
be all needed for subway construction,
and when the subways have been con
structed it will be a long time, according
TO the estimates Of the successful bidder,
before they will be operated at profit.
II is an expensive undertaking 10 pro-
vide comprehensive subway system Civ
ing long ride for five cents and serving
undeyeloped territory from which traffic
will be slight and Improbable, and 1t is
especially expensive when devotion TO a
five-cent fare is carried to such an eN-
cess as in the plan TO transport pa -CL-
gers from The Bronx 10 Coney Island for
a nickel. But this is the first time that
the relation between taxes and the policy
Of the public regarding subways will be
distinctly felt, and it will be felt most
where that policy is most loudly in
sisted upon-namely, in the undeyeloped
sections.

VIEWS or FOREIGN Politics.


II does not appear from the brief cable
dispatch whether the Rev. DIR. Jowett's
remark about lack Of treatment Of
British politics in the American press is
eXultant or lameniing, cOmmendatOry or
censorious, in tone. In ibis country il
will probably be variously regarded, some
resenting IT as an envious aspersion
upon the indubitable infallibllity Of the
American press and others accepting il
as a commonplace matter Of course. II
may provoke some languidly animated
silly season discussion on both sides Of
the sea. But 1t really seems TO us to
imply a serious suggestion of a not
uncOmplimentary character.
Why should've might almost ask,
how could-British politics be treated
in the American press? OF course, the
salient acts and achievements are re-
corded with a reasonable degree Of fulness
and accuracy. Dr. Jowett does not mean
to deny that There are also in some
papers intelligent explanations of and
comments upon such incidents. In such
respects we can say without Boosting, and
without invoking the proverbial odium
OF comparisons, that British politics re-
ceives more satisfactory treatment in
the American press than American poll
ties In the British or any other foreign
press. We should not expect DR.. Jowett
to dispute that What is usually lack
ing I'm our discussion Of British and In
deed of all foreign politics is the init
mate spirit Of partisan interest, which In
general cannot and certainly should not
prevail here
The British journalist treats British
politics as a Liberal or as n Unionist
The American does not, or at least has
no business to do so, He does not know
all the subtle details OF partisan differ
epces and # he did he would have no
good excuse for entering into them.
American interest in British politics Is
not factional nor even partisan, but in
ternational The attitude Of our press
should therefore be not that Of the spe-
cIal advocate but rather Of the detached
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-07-04
