YANKEES AFTER CATCHER
Likely to Get One, Too, on the
Word of Harry WoIverton.
STREET MAY BE THE MAN
Chance for the Giants to Sign a
Speed Marvel and a Sec
ond Ty Cobb.

Negotiations are pending which, il car
ried to successful issue. will give
the New York Yankees the best catching
staff in the league for next season. Harry
Wolverton, the new manager, ran Up from
Philadelphia yesterday ard pareelled out
this information Just who the new catcher
will be was not announced, but II is safe
10 say that a deal Is under way whereby
one Of the best receivers Of the American
League will cavort in the uniform Of the
Yankees on the hilltop next summer.
Although the manager is confident that
Sweeney and Williams are fully able TO
hold up their end behind the plate FOR the
galaxy of pitching stars who are already
members of the team. he knows only too
well the damage which cen be wrought
when one of Russ Fords spitters takes a
weird turn and splits a catcher's finger
He believes that II is best TO be prepared
for all emergencies, and consequently the
lines have been thrown out for another
backstop. 1t is whispered around that
Washington might part with Street for
Jack Knight and another player.
Aside from a new catcher" said VOL
verton. "the team will probably start the
season with the same men that finished
the last campaign. 1t is possible, OF course,
that the deal proposed may not go through,
and in that case we will begin Just where
we left off last fall. I do not contemplate
any more changes. l am confident that
the material is at hand for a crackerjack
infeld. There is no need to worry about
the outfeld and pitching staff. II we can
get up a good combination around the
bases we will be in the thick Of the pen
nant fight. and l am sure that have the
men for the positions"
While Wolverton did not see the Yankees
team play last year, he has watched
their work as individuals on other mines,
and knows just about what they can do
From the records and information which
he has az hand he can form a fairly good
estimate OF his material. and II will take
! him only a short while TO single out the
/ promising lights on the Southern training
/ trip.

Jimmy Callahan, manager of the Chicago
tlub, is OF the opinion that organized base
ball should lend a helping hand TO the
ttars Of bygone days. He says:
THE major leagues should ret aside one
lay each summer for a championship game
and apply the receipts toward maintaining
1 pension fund. This money could be used
or providing comforts TO worthy players
" the past. which otherwise they could
cot enjoy
Better still II the owners could create

While c.. @. Hommann was de-
elaring that J. Edward Stubbert was

son and DIR. William e. Ramsay
were protesting that he was q delib-
crate fakir In Recorder Henry w.

fsred copy of certificate OF Mr..

cine, filed In the county OF Essex
March 8, 1881. After it had been
read DR.. Ramsay ridiculed it. de-
claring that IL Mr.. stubbert spoke
the truth when his pedigree was
taken by the police on Monday, he
was fifty years old, consequently he
must have been about fifteen years

and was not more than nineteen
years old when he was given IL
cense TO practice, despite the fact
that state law sets the minimum
age to practice In this state at TWEEN

tices to be both infamous and outra-
gaous Mr.. Watson said there was
no doubt but that the man was a
fakir and cited a few instances
where he had given gold and silver
pills for various complaints.
The defense win be that Stubbert

ed last night that Stubbert or any
other physician having certificate
filed In one county could practice
temporarily In any other county IN

tain about It and went out Of the
