CHICAGO, November 3O.-Fielder Jones.

Says Its a Joke.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, November 30
When Murphy speaks of Fielder Jones
as manager of the Cincinnati club he is
evidently joking. I certainly know of no
deal for Jones, and Jones has never
entered my mind as manager of the Gin
cinnati team. Further than that, he
will not be Cincinnatfs manager next
year. This report must be one of MUIR
phys jokes
So said President August Hermann of
the local National League base ball team,
when he heard OF the report that Jones
was to figure in a trade whereby he
would become a National League man.

of the new ones, like myself. being
strangers to that class of ball and to
that class OF league. IT, under these new
and strange conditions, the boys We're
able to pull together and achieve what
was, to say the least. comparative success
for the Nationals. it stands to reason, on
general principles. that next season
should show some improvement. This
surely is not a wild prediction, and l
should say was Il Very modest prospect.
AS far as l am concerned, personally,
if it is my lot to cover some territory for
the Nationals next season. l assure you
over what they were at the beginning of
last season. In other words. instead of
getting hit in the head l am going to use
my head in hitting. Those blows which
L received at the outset last year seem
to have se TuGdled me that i got my
batting average figures mixed up a little.
Next season | expect to rearrange those
figures that they will mean more not
only to me personally. but to the team 5
success.
Should the individual members OF the
team show even a little improvement in
their general playing ability, with the
splendid spirit of friendliness, harmony
and cooperation that is existing amongst
the members of our club, / cannot See
how the Nationals can fail TO become real
aggressive contenders for the position one
step in advance of where they finished
this year. Yours most sincerely.
