respondent of the Matin says:
Turkey now requests that she be adj

tanning. Of course. all the territory she
had before the war
This extraordinary proposal as yet
has only been semi-officiallys made, and
it causes no surprise in Servian official
circles, which are we'll acquainted with
the Ottoman mentality epd know that
Turkey never accepts accomplished facts

The correspondent says there is UNI
bounded confidence in Seryia with re-
gard to Austria, due to the belief that
some high Russian personages have given
a formal and binding engagement TO
support Servia against Austria.

London, November 25.-As the war ap-
proaches a conclusion public opinion in
Bucharest, according to the correspond
ent of the Standard, is getting more ex-
ercised with reference to safeguarding
OF Roumanian interests. Mass meetings
were held Sunday to protest against the
reported Greek persecution Of the kutz-
ovlacs in Macedonia. The leaders Of
this race strongly object to the division
of Macedonia between Greece, Bulgaria
and Servia, as they fear their own ma
tionality will be squeezed out. Roumania
intends to secure guarantees against this.
Another question relates to readjust-
ment of the Roumanian- Bulgarian from
tier 1t is now said Roumania is not
claiming Ruschuk and Varna, this

make its influence felt in the negotiations

are expecting to turn out In force

LARRY DOYLE.

BY HUGH A. JENNINGS,
Manager of the Detroit American
League Team.
The infields of the Giants and
Reds are a toss-up.
Boston excels on the left hand
side of the diamond; New York
on the right hand side.
Heinie Wagner Is far ahead OF
Fletcher as shortstop, and
Gardner Is better third baseman
than Herzog.
Opposed to this fact. Merkle at
first and Doyle at second excel
Stahl and Yerkes.
Gardner is Herzog's superior
as fielder and hitter. He Is faster
and covers lots of ground. He
has a pair Of clever hands and his
throws to first are great. He
fields Clearly. Herzog Is no
sluch, but he is not Gardeners
equal.
The success of Boston this sea-
son is in a large measure due 70
the work of Wagner at short and
at bat. He Is without a doubt
the best shortstop in the Ameri-
can league today, and that Is say
ing a lot with Bush and Jack
Barry to consider.
Yerkes suffers when compared
to Larry Doyle, who has been a
Giant star for a long time. Nc
Graw made Doyle q brilliant
player and appointed him cap
lain. Much was expected OF
Doyle last year in the worlds
series and he was the one star
who made good.
Jake Stahl must manage his
team as well as play first base,
and In so important a series this
may handicap his work. Merkle
Is a younger man, faster and a
better fielder. StahI is a better
hitter, however, than Merkle, al
though both are cleanup men.
Both infields work like ma
chimes at their best. Their Is

greater speed and accuracy than

In handling runners / think
the Red Sox, with Wagner Up, the

Boston's infieId Is better hit

Those New York infielders are

Thus as the hitting of one on
sets the base running of the other
and the better left side of the Red

Giants, consider them a toss up.
