All other gushing springs of baseball
dope having dwindled down to mere
rivulets and the supply of good mate
rial almost exhausted, baseball scribes
at this stage of the eas clothe
themselves in the garments of the
prophet and turn to prognosticating
on the coming campaign. Down in
Baltimore three seers got together,
and after much consideration the ora
cles concluded that the signs indicate
hat the International League at the
close of the unborn season will sum
up as follows:
Baltimore, Toronto, Buffalo, Roches-
ter, Newark, Jersey City, Providence
and Montreal.
Wonder what Joe McGinnity, Larry
Schlafiy, Fred Lake and Sam Lichten-
helm have to say about that! OF
course somebody a to finish in the
second division, and or paper just
new these teams would probably finish
in the second squadron.
But!-Which one of those four a
ayers do you suppose expects to start
the season with the players now on
their reserve lists? The Newark Club,
lacking pitchers and another good
catcher. as at present, would do vel
to finish at the top Of the second d.
vision, but the needed strength will be
obtained.
Larry Schlafiy has his eye on some
men, too, who will make the Skeeters
a live-wire combination, and Larry
says that the rivalry between the
Tigers and the Insects will be closer
this seaso than ever before. Fred
Lake will ge- reinforcements not only
from Detroit, but from other sources
And Montreal, well. the Royals do not
look very classy, but we'll wager they
don't finish last.
Baltimore evidently has some preju-
dice against Rochester. It's a 2-1 bel
that the Hustlers and three-time
champs will finish 1. 2. g.. If they dc
not after winning three pennants in a
row Chaplin and Camel had better shut
up shop for repairs while they over
haul their team. 1t is entirely toe
early for the wise ones who are really

"MAJORS
MINORS"

One Oriole at least will boil out the
winters kinks at a health resort, ever
though Manager Jack Dunn has off,
cially announced that the Birds will
do their spring training at home.
Mickey Corcoran, the speedy. hard-hit-
ting right fielder, has practically made
at his own expense at Hot Springs,
Ark.
Catcher Charley Schmidt was kept on
the Detroit payroll for two years after
he was of no service to his team be-
cause when the Tigers needed him he
caught for two weeks with a broken
finger. Frank Navin has a better
memory thar most of the magnates.
It's too bad that Hughey Hearne
couldn't land on the International
League staff of umpires. Hughey has
now turned his attention to the Cana
dian League and will try to get a
berth in the new organization which
enjoyed such a prosperous year.
Jack Dunn denies that he tried to
cut George Stallings out of Tom Dow
ney.
Billy Byers is finding it hard hook
ing on as a minor league manager.
The Baltimore heavyweight backstop
had hopes of landing at Syracuse as
pilot, but he will be lucky to get a job
as a private from reports.
Clark Griffith is a good press agent
for the 'Old Fox He manages to
get something new in every day. Now
he will prohibit cigarette smoking from
the start of the season in the Wash
ington ranks. Connie Mack never al
lows his, athletes to use the poison
pill.
Kitty Bransfield. who was turned
down by the local club when offered by
Chubby Charley Murphy, will manage
the Wheeling Central League club

Noah Henline. last season an Orioie
may land as manager of the Danvills
team, in the l. !. /. League.
Thirteen of the twenty-five players
owned by the Baltimore club are now

HudSOnS Go
Into Lead in
the National

The West Hudsons are the leaders in
the National Soccer League today, and
they acquired that lofty pinnacle yes
terday without moving a finger.
Furthermore, 1t was not through any
misfortune to the True Blues, the de-
posed league leaders. that the Hudsons
scared to the top. Tom Adams's men
were awarded two points yesterday be-
cause the Wilberforce contingent did
not show up to play a scheduled con-
test, doubtless deeming weather con-
ditions unfit for a game. There will
probably be a big hullabaloo, but
Referee L. M. White decided that the
field was in good enough condition for
a game, and his decision counts. No
other games were thought of yesterday
in the competition.

and Outfielders Walsh, Corcoran and
Gettman.
Home Run Buck Freeman, the former
Boston American and Maple Leaf out
fielder, has hooked on as manager with
the Scranton Club in the New York
State League. Buck will pilot the 1912
Miners from the first cushion.
Loudell, the new Gray twirler, is
something of a hitter, having earned
ar average of .263 in 26 games, while
Cavet laid up against the ball for a
912 average in "a games with the Min
neapolis Club, champions of the Amer
lean Association.
Joe Persicco, a New York boy, who
say that he is a catcher, dropped in at
the headquarters of the Newark Club
the other day and registered with Joe
McGinnity's employment bureau. Per-
sicco may or may not be given a trial,
but If he does get so far as to have his
name tabulated in the box scores Joey
must not consider it an insult IL his
last name is abbreviated, otherwise
contracted, or turned inside out.
Rip vowinkle, who took down some
| good American money last year from
the Newark Club for merely DOMINIC
a uniform daily, has written to Fred
Burchell. owner of the Syracuse Club,
asking for a trial. Rip, who is a
pharmacist in Oswego. N. Y, says his
arm, under careful treatment, has re-
sponded wonderfully and will be as
good as ever.
This is not the first time Heine zim-
norman has retired from the baseball
game. He always has been on hand
when the season opened, however, and
one of the first in line when the first
payday of the year appears.

THOSE POPULAR COPS.

Washington, Nov. 11.--There's a
good looking policeman on duty at
the White House who is very popular
with newly married couples. The
cause of his popularity is as follows:
Most of these couples come armed
with kodaks and cameras and snap
shot everything in the grounds, from
the fountain to the immaculate COL
that adorn front and rear of
the executive mansion. 1t generally
occur to the bridegroom to get a
snapshot of the bride directly in
front of the mansion. When this is
done the policeman is hurriedly sum-
moned in as a background. mas
much as it relieves the monotony of
patrol duty he never fails to respond.
and how could a perfectly good look
ing policeman neglect to display
%gallantry when a good looking bride
wishes it.
When the young couple go home
they generally send the policeman a
photograph. This policeman has re-
ceived such pictures from all over
the country.

WHITE HOUSE SQUIRRELS.

Washington, Nov. 11:-The squir-
rels in the White House. grounds are
getting SO tame that persons having
business in hat part of Washington
are expecting to see them do most
anything that any we'll domesticated
animal might do. They run across
the Presidents front porch whenever
they feel like it, paying no attention
to the policemen there, burroW
around the Presidents g%eraniums,
play with each other about the
drives, feed out of the hands of we'll
disposed persons, and IN the whole
seem to enjoy life much more than
any other living thing in the vicinity.
Their latest stunt is to climb the
iron electric light poles and sit on
top of the glass globes. To date no
report has come in of their turning
on the lights.
Recently a big fat squirrel got on
top of an electric light pole and
made a great noise as if in distress.
A group of oHlookers made bets as
to what was the trouble. Some sug-
gestions were made for helping Mr..
Squirrel out of his supposed predica-
ment. Just when sympathy was rum
ming highest the squirrel jumped
from the pole five o. six feet to the
branch of a nearby tree and vanish-
ed.
White House officials pay little
attention to the squirrels. They are
fed mostly by visitors.
