Manager Harry WoIverton of the Yankees sprang a little sensation when he said the Highlanders next season will have one of the best If not the best catching staff in the American League. WoIverton admit ted he had a deal under way where by the Highlanders will procure one of the best receivers in the league. He refused to name the club with which he is dickering, but said the enced, heady player, who has won his spurs in fast company.
 Though Wolverton refused to name the man he is angling for, 1t is the general belief in baseball circles that the new catcher who will wear. Hill top livery next season is either Street, Ainspnith or Henry of the Washing ton Nationals. It is known that the Highlanders have been dickering with Clark Griffith for some time, and big. deal probably will come to a. head in a few days. The Wash ingtons have three f1rst-class mask men, and can we'll afford to spare one of them if they can strengthen their team in some other position. third baseman more than anything else, and the. rumors that they are after Jack Knight will not down.

 In discussing his infield and out field, Wolverton said he has two cracks in Wilfred Osborn, the Ro- Chester recruit. and C. H. Coleman, the Tacoma third baseman. WoIver- ton said he heard that Osborne is a hard and consistent batter, who should be able to hold down a. posi- ton in any big league outfeId. '.As to Coleman" he continued, tout on tha coast they tell me he is a won der. He was one of the best ground coverers in his league, and I have been told that at times his work bordered on the sensational. I have great hopes of him.

In the second half Ludwig was ruled off the turf for throwing his fist at one of the Loco players: During the Singer-Crane mixed 1t up and were sent to the side lines- Altogether it was a busy even ing for Referee Franz but his rulings
 Outside of the boxing features there were two surprises furnished. The Crane No. five beat the Locomo- feated Crane No. 1 by 34 to H. The Loco team has been a hoodoo for Crane No. in previous contests but last night. the superiority of the valve makers was plainly apparent Their passing was much better than their opponents and so was their
 Bob Hoffman, the old time profes- sional star, did great work for Crane. He anbled all over the floor and managed to shoot six goals Lankham- mer got away with seven baskets and Barnsley, who proved a sensation at forward, had five.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Ty Cobb declares that in his opinion Gregg is a better southpaw than Mar quard or any other port-sfder of the present day. The Georgia Peach -sldarquard showed great form last season but did not make as good a rec ord as Gregg, although he was with a championship team and Gregg pitched for club which escaped finishing in the second division by only a few games.
 game than Gregg, but his record in pitcher. Marquard built up his record while pitching for a team which play ed consistently all season Gregg work ed under a handican, for the Maps
 "Marquard and Rucker are the star port, fingers of the National League Gregg and Plank are the best per formers in the American. The records show that Gregg allowed less hits per inning than any of the other three" !"
 Records are well enough in their way, but if Cobb had batted an equal number of times against Gregg and Marquard his opinion would be of greater value.
 Connie Mack Is said. to have catch CT of unusual ability in the youngster Egan. Naturally Thomas and Lapp will do the bulk of the receiving again this year, but if Egan lives up to the reputation the Baltimore critics give him he will be a hard man to- keep on the bench. He is said to be speedy and to possess a fine arm and con siderable batting ability. He has also shown cleverness in diagnosing bat ter's weakness. Thus he seems to have about every essential qualification for a major league backstop with the single exception of experience, which he can acquire.
 It now seems probable that the Yale team will play the Giants at the Polo Grounds on April TO- This was the original date fixed for the game, but when the schedule committee decided to open the major league season on April Il it necessitated a change in the dates of the exhibition game It was then proposed to shift the Yale game to April 6, but as the New Haven boys cannot meet the change the for mer arrangements will be carried out.
 Charlie Murphy declares that he will start work soon on, new cage for the Cubs. Murphy says his new park will be a thing of beauty and of a magnifcence never before imagined. From all accounts it will be a sort of combination of the Great Wal of Chi- na, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Pyramids the Labyrinth of Crete, a Turkish Bath, a Louis XIV chateau, the lawn of an English country house the Panama Canal and the Auditorium Annex.
