Welt had two political visitors at Saga
more hin to-day, but refused to dis
close their identity. They came in an
automobile from New York. One of

McHarg is said to have communicated
word to the colonel that there is a
strong demand for his Presidential can

thoroughly organized are working hard.
The other political visitor is reported
to hail from St Louis, where the Taft

Harrison, a Londoner, who met Col.
Roosevelt upon the ex-Presidents return
from Africa two years ago, was a social
visitor.

BENEFIT THE
SMALLER FRY
That's What Frank Farrell Has
to Say Concerning Recent
Baseball Legislation.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-President
Frank j. Farrell, of the New York
American Baseball Club, believes that
the new national agreement etween
the major leagues will be a great boon
for the minors and also a help to young
players. Mr.. Farrell declared on MS
arrival here from Chicago that the
American League approved in toto OF
the agreement, out merely deferred
ratification until President Johnson
could study it more carefully.
zone of the best things that the
agreement will do for the minor
leagues" said Mr.. Farrell. lis to pre-
vent a wholesale drafting of minor
league players by certain clubs simply
to keep them away from rival clubs.
In the past a club would draft many
players and turn half of them back
without trial to block otho teams from
getting them. In the future a major
league team is required to give a
youngster a fair trial either in the sea-
son or on the southern training tip.

DATE-MAKING
TO BE EASY
Thus Declares International
League Leader-Jersey City,
Newark Opening Shunted.

II am all ready to play the role If
h tailor and fit UP the International
League for the coming season tomor-
row in the ALTERNATING at Providence"
That's the way President Ed Barrow,
of the International League, put it yes
terday in discussing the schedule
meeting at Providence. II think 7
have doped out a schedule that gives
everybody a square deal all the way
around and fits the holiday dates and
the other conditions in the different
towns to a tee.
"Of curse there will be some
changes before the table of dates is
adopted. If that vas not necessary
we would not hold the meeting tomor-
row. Our league, with Sunday baseball
possible in four towns, three In the
lower end of the circuit and M in the
upper, makes it most difficult to give
everybody just what he wants.
"There is no league in the United
States that has as many exigencies to
face in the tailoring Of the schedule
to suit the league every year as the
International. There are two Canadian
holidays not celebrated In Uncle Sans
cities, and the ~cluo-owners are privi-
legged to give out these dates as they
see fit. If the m~~'9ates could only
e how the race would pan out n
which teams would be running close
together-close enough to form rivalry
notwithstanding would be an easy
matter.
''But baseball dope is as uncertain

plans go wrong. Doping out a schedule
is a bigger task than most Of the lay
men begin to realize. There are SO
many minor details to take into con
sideration and SO many 'plums' that
everybody wants that it's enough to
give the schedule-inaker gray hairs.
"In our league he continued, be
cause of climatic conditions, all of the
opening games are played in the East
ern cities. This, in a measure, is n
handicap, because the race Is under
way for three weeks as a rule before
the Buffalo, Rochester, Montreal AMI
Toronto fans have a chance to see their
teams In action. In the two big leagues
the East plays the East and the West
plays the West during the spring series.
and everybody gets a chance to see
their home talent perform before the
race is under way"
Asked what he thought about q Jer-
sey City-Newark opening in the near
future the leagues executive was nom
committal.
At the same time the benefits from
such a meeting would be manifest. The
Newark-Jersey City rivalry always IN

have been If Joe McGinnity's plan to
have Jersey City open in Newark on

The manager of Adams has agreed to
allow his man to get into the ring with
Kimball. Kimball's Jos could not be
located, but 1t Is assured hat he will
listen to the demands of the down

This one bout will be enough to whet
the appetites of the fight ans that will
appear at T%urnbull Hall, 2S5 Market

Then, too, there will be on hand the
trio of Newark boys who made such
a grand showing at the Fairmont A. c.

Baseball Notes.

Montreal has purchased Pitcher
Zachert from the st. Louis Nationals.
Sam Lichtenhein has been dubbed
''the take it from me- member of the
International League.
Sam, by the way, insists that the
Gandil deal is not off, and that he
still has hopes of getting rid of Chick
Gandil in exchange for Safer and
some more Cubs.
Gilbert Bell, the Tiger mascot, is
the latest to sign a contract. Because
of school restrictions Bell will not ac-
company the Tigers on their training
trip.
Cleveland papers are bowling blue
murder about the George Stoval deal.
Does look as though Harry Davis gave
away a prize pippin for a specked
apple, but then you never can tell.
George won three games last year.,
and came within two places of being
the worst hurler in the league. Jesse
Baker, of the White Sox, and Dolly
Gray, Of the Senators, saved him the
ignominy of being last. Stoval. on the
other hand, batted In more runs than
any other member of the Maps last
year with the exception of Jackson.
besides raising the team from seventh
to third place.
The Pittsburg Club will be the dark
horse of the National League race.
With Mike Donlin at his best the team
will be a great smuggling aggregation.
Two such sluggers as Wagner and
Donlin coming up together will give
the pitchers the same s%ickening feel
ing that American leaguers hav when
Crawford follows Cobb to the bat.
Wonder IL John Camel is sincere in
his statement that he want to get rid
of Dolly Gray. He was offered Roy
Castleton, who had several trials with
the Yankees, but turned 1t down. Now
John says he wants to sell and not to
trade the pitcher. Guess the most
plausible solution is that CAMEL is try
ing to whip Gray into line, for he Is
holding out.
Jack Dunn will try out seven new
pitchers besides his staff of last year.
If one of the seven develops into a
good reliable m~oundsman Jack says he
will be satisfied.
