tered into any sort of tentative agre-
merit with any club for next season. He
is waiting to settle his claim with the ST.
Louis club before he will decide where
he will play in the future. The highest
bidder will undoubtedly secure his serv-
ice. and there are at least three clubs
anxious to secure him. Pittsburgh, Chi
caso and Cincinnati figure that their
teams would be stronger with Bresnahan
on the catching staff, and the competition
for his services is sure to be great, which
will make it possible for the Cardinals
former manager to grab himself a con-
tract which in the matter of compensation
will be second to none in either major
league.
Frank Chance is quoted as saying that
he received $4,000 from the Chicago club
last season, a salary which equaled that
paid TO John McGraw.
1t is but natural to presume that he
will demand a similar figure from the
New York club when he signs with IT,
and this would make Chance the highest
salaried manager in the johnson league.
and. barring McGraw. no other man in
charge of a ball team would receive SO
high a compensation for his services. But
the New York club can well afford to pay
Chance what he asks for. It will be the
first time in several years that the High
landers have been in competent hands.

Not a deal materialized during the
American League meeting which
adjourned in Chicago yesterday. Though
several clubs had representatives there
for the special purpose Of making some
advantageous swaps not a single deal
was recorded. Detroit. Cleveland and
Chicago all had players they wanted to
trade but no agreement could be reached
and the propositions were dropped. AS
has always been the case with the Amer
lean League the meeting ran off smooth
ly. There is never any friction at these
gatherings. in which respect the young
league differs greatly from it's rival In
terest seems to have conferred in the Sc
curing of Chance by the New York club.
The club owners realize that the acquisi-
ton Of the former Cub leader is one of
the strokes of good fortune which have
befallen their organization, for 1t is con-
ceded that with Chance at the head of
last years taflenders there is a strong
prospect for Improvement Of conditions
in New York, which will be Of benefit to
every club In the circuit.

Chance is too good a judge Of ball play
ers to let out player of Chase's ability.
Furthermore. Chase will be a different
kind of player under Chance than he has
shown himself heretofore. and the fact
must not be overlooked that Chase classes
with the best players In the majors. Grit
fifth is authority for the statement that
Chase can play the outfield with any of
the stars in the league, and If Chance
should decide to hold down first base, "A
position which he plays faultlessly, he
will undoubtedly find a place for Chase
out in the garden.
Joe Tinker cost the Cincinnati club a
fortune. To begin with Hermann had To
pay $500 cash for Corridor. Mitchell
would have brought $4,000 on the open
market. while Phelan. knisely and Hum
phries were worth at least $4,000.
Yet the price may prove a bargain, for
Tinker will not only be able to manage
the team, but he will fill a hole on the
Cincinnati team which has not been in
competent hands since the days of Tom
my Corcoran. With a good shortstop, the
Reds would have been contenders In sew
eral Of the campaigns of past years, and
there is no doubt OF Tinker's ability in
this respect.

HARVARD WILL ROW CORNELL.

ITHACA. n. Y. December I3.-Harvard
will row Cornell on Cayuga lake on
Spring day next May. according to an an
nouncement by Graduate Manager c. E.
Kent of Cornell. The regatta will COM
prise the varsity and freshman eight
Dared races. According to the university
calendar revised by the faculty Spring
day will fall in May -. 1913. Although
Princeton rowed against Harvard and
Cornell on the Charles last year, the
Tigers will not take part in the race on
Cayuga lake.
If Cornell rows Princeton again next
spring il probably will be on Carnegie
lake in a race with the Tigers alone or
I'm some three-cornered race. 1t is posi-
BILE that the Ithacans may row for the
Childs trophy against Pennsylvania, CO.
lumbia and Princeton. Although ordi-
narily crews entered in the Poughkeepsie
regatta are not allowed to race one an
other earlier in the season, the board of
stewards suspended this rule In the case
of Columbia and Pennsylvania last spring
and might do so for Cornell.

NEW YORK DOG RUNS THIRD.
Craig's George Clay Shows Well in
Southern Trials

LETOHATCHIE. Ala, December 49,
The all-age stake of the southern trials
which began here Tuesday with eighteen
starters. was concluded yesterday, and
the winner proved to be the setter Mo-
money. owned and handled by J. NJ.
Avery of Hickory Valley. Tenn. This
dog has been a consistent winner all this
and last season, and in the last three
stakes in which he started since the field
trials season began he has won first place.
Second place was won by the setter
Melrose Mohawk, owned by j. w. Consi-
dine of Seattle. Wash This is still a
young dog and his work in the race gave
great promise. The third place winner
was the setter George Clay, owned by
r. +. Craig, jr.. OF New York. George
Clay's good range. speed and bird work
clearly entitled him to the place he was
awarded.

Chance is sure to make q success OF the
team and will undoubtedly be one of the
best attractions around the circuit In the
league. The New York club has wasted
a fortune in salaries to incompetent man.
ayers who have failed to bring about DE-
sired results, and is to be congratulated
on having secured so capable a man as
Chance to run its team.
The most popular ball player among
umpires is Walter johnson. There is not
a single instance on record since Johnson
broke into the American League when he
has objected to decision There are
times, of course. when umpires err wneh
a decision means much. but johnson has
never been known to make protest. In
this respect he differs from nearly all
pitchers. and as result the umpires
never fail to speak a good word Tor
Johnson IT is merely another illustra-
ton of the remarkable disposition the big
pitcher possesses, which is as valuable to
him as his wonderful pitching arm.
Detroit was willing to trade George
Mullin to Cleveland for one of the Nap
pitchers, but the proposition was turned
down by President Somers during the
tired of trying to build up his team with
veteran PLAYERS, and he so declared him
self when Mullin was offered. The Cleve-
land team has a staff OF pitchers that
should be heard from next season. They
are ali youngsters and sure to improve.
and while the Maps might have been
benefited temporarily by securing Mullin.
the chances are that some OF these
Youngsters will be star pitchers for sew
eraI years to come. where Mullin cannot
last more than a year or two more and
be among the top-notchers.
Even If Frank Chance should decide to
NAV for the New York team. il 10 not
likely that he will dispose Of Hal Chase.

Famous Pitcher of Cubs Likely to
Join National League Staff.

CHICAGO. December 1.-THE status of
Mordecai Brown. former pitcher for the
Chicago National League team. which has
been in doubt, was settled last night by
William Neal of the Louisville club Of
the American Association. He said Brown
belonged TO Louisville, which wanted him
as pitcher for next season, but that the
club would not stand in the way if Brown
desired to better himself by accepting
position umpire in one of the big
leagues.
According to Neal, Brown has been Of

Wants to Clear Up Action So He Can

ST LOUIS. Mo-. December 13.-It is be-
lieved here that Roger Bresnahan, the
deposed leader Of the Cardinals will
effect some sort of compromise with Mrs
Helen Hathaway Britton before the case
comes up in February before the board
of directors Of the National League.
This policy was intimated by Arthur
n. Sager and George Priest. the two
lawyers for Bresnahan, on their return
from the recent New York meeting
The lawyers declare that Bresnahan Is
willing to accept a very modest COM
promise because he realizes the posi-
bilities of his future with Pittsburgh.

against one another for his services.
