NOT TO MANAGE BIS0NS.
Joe Kelley Says He Is Satisfied With
Present Job.

BALTIMORE, Nd, November 1--The
story which emanated from Newark to
tbe effect that Manager Joe Kelley of the
nennant-winning Leafs has been named
as the successor of George Stallings as
leader of the Buffalo club was denied by
the Canuck chieftain last night Ac-
cording to Kelley, he has heard nothing
from President Stein of the Bisons, and
as to assuming the leadership of the
Herd Joe says he is very well contented
at nresent in Toronto and is contempiat-
ing no change.
Kelley also emphatically denies that
there has been a break between him and
President McCafferty of the Leafs, al
though reports have it that there has
been much dlSSenSlon III tne iHdHdSeiheHi
of the Leafs.
Though the Buffalo club is in a position
to give him a tidy little sum for his
troubles, Kelley would probably not drift
toward Bisontown should he decide TO
toss up the job at Toronto. There are
several managerial jobs vacant in the big
wagon, and Joe's name has been fire.
ouently connected with the cities seeking
new leaders
Kelley has built up a splendid team
for the Canuck fans, one that Will be
heard from in the international League
for several seasons to come. with a bad
start the Leafs managed to gallop nome
ahead of the Hus:lerS in the race Tor the
eonfalon, and Kelley is hopeful that his
cohorts Will cop the puhtHS dSdii ieAl
year. .
According to old Dame Rumor, Bill
Bradley, who guarded the third sack in
his usual brilliant style this year. Will
take hold of the tiller should Kelley give
up the job.

K|GHLANDERS DECIDE
TO DROP WOLvERTON
Rumor Says President Farrell
Wants Chance or Roger
BreSnahan.

NEW YORK, November 7-Harry VOL
verton's days as manager of the High
landers are ended. He will not be signed
for service next year. This announce
ment, made by President Frank ]. Far
rell of the club last night, comes almost
as a total surprise, for it had been un-
derstood for some time that a renewal
of his contract would be offered to VOL
verton any time between now and the
opening Of the 1913 season next April.
Wolverton is released outright and is a
free agent.
AS to who will succeed Wolverton moth
ing is known as yet beyond the fact that
several well known base ball figures are
under consideration. President Farrell
admitted that he had not deposed Wolver-
ton blindly without having any idea of
who would take his place at the helm,
saying that he could name number OF
men, some of whom he knew were avail
able, but that he did not want to men
ton any of them because of the poSsibil-
ity of creating discomfort with their
present berths on the part of the ones not
chosen. He said he probably would not
be ready to announce the signing Of a
new manager for some time.
1t is not known whether Farrell has his
eye on either Roger Bresnahan or Frank
Chance. the recently deposed leaders OF
the Cardinals and Cubs of the National
League. but it Is considered more than
likely that he has prepared to obtain the
services of one of these big cards in event
that 1t becomes possible for him to do SO.
In some quarters recently there have been
discussions as to whether the restoration
of Hal Chase to the managership in
event Of Wolverton's demotion would re-
suit in the abolition of alleged internal
dissensions in the team turing the past
season. But If Chase has been thought of
no word has come directly from the club
owner.

have made Tinker manager of the Reds.
Tinker says that he will quit the game
rather than continue on the Chicago
team. The chances of his going to Gin
cinnati to manage are now rather slim.
The demands which Evers makes would
virtually rob the Reds of the nucleus for
a winner and the Cincinnati owners re-
fuse to listen to his propositions Having
prevented Tinker from bettering himself
it would not appear to be a wise move to
have him continue on the Cub team, for a
dissatisfied player is worse than no play
er at all.
Every now and then some Individual
entirely unfamiliar with the system of
organiZa ton under which base ball op-
crates, makes the glaring blunder of re-
ferring to it as trust. and making it
appear that the club owners rule the
players in high-handed manner. John
B. Foster of the New York Evening Tele-
gram takes the following fall out of these
charges:
ANY one in the National League or the
American League who would be frighten-
ed away from a much-needed inveStiga-
ton because of silly claptrap about either
of these organizations being a trust or
conspiracy against trade deserves to have
trouble.
THE National League, the American
League, the International League, the
American Association and all other
leagues are no more a trust than any
society or organization put together for
the purpose of regulating game or pas
time.
Any person who wishes to organize a
base ball league or base ball club has
that privilege, but there is no reason
under the sun why the National League,
the American League or any other league
should be compelled to recognize that or
ganization if it doesn't care to do so.
1t might well be contended that Sc
cret and benevolent organiza tions must
recognize their members INTERCHANGEABLE
simply because they happen to be secret
organizations. There isn't an element in
the major leagues which corresponds in
any way to a trust. The clubs are indi-
vidual companies, usually fighting with
some spirit and occasionally with some
acerbity to win championship, the pur-
pose for which they were brought into
activity.
ANY method which tends toward syn
dicating pooling would make these
leagues in the nature of trust. 1t is
the individualism of the clubs which is
the backbone of the sport. Whenever
there is a disposition to pool issues more
than one base ball critic will have a lit
tie something to say about it,
