Jim McAleer says that he will stand
pat with his Boston team for next sea-
son. 1t seems but natural that he should
be satisfied with a club which not only
won the pennant, but a worlds series,
and yet time may show that an error
changes. Boston, like most teams, must
depend for it's strength on three indi-
viduals. Should it lose Wagner, Speaker
or Wood, the team would not stand a
chance to repeat its performance Of last
season. An accident to either one Of
these players would give the Red Sox
severe setback. 1t is, Of course, not pos
sible to go out and secure players who
can take the place of any one Of this
trio. and yet it will be wise to have
even a worlds championship team forti-
fled to the limit with utility material.

Notwithstanding the fact that he claims

Richard kinsella, for many years the
owner of minor league clubs and of late
the scout for the ST. Louis Cardinals,
has come forward with d proposition
which astounds base ball folk. He has Of
fered Mrs. Britton, the owner of the st.
Louis National League club. 100000 for
the loan of the club for one year. He
agrees to pay this amount if he and Bres-
nahan are allowed to conduct the club

proposition and one which Mrs Britton
ought to accept without hesitancy. If
Kinsella can make good at St. Louis he
will find much wider field for the eff
fective exercise of his undoubted finan-

There is no danger of Ty Cobb quitting
base ball because the Detroit club will
refuse to accede to his demands. Cobb
wants a three-year contract for $45 ,OO(
and he is very apt to get it. At the rate
good ball players are being paid these
days. Cobb is entitled to all he has
asked. for the reason that he is not only
the greatest of them all. but he is the
best attraction in the game today. and
Is one Of the few players who help the
gate receipts regardless of what his
teams position in the race may be.
AS yet there is no controversy over
the contract between Cobb and the De-
troit club and in fact there may not be.
but the story is going the rounds that
Cobb has confided to a friend that unless
he gets his price he will quit the game
and go into the brokerage business in
New York. That. Of course, is all bosh,
for Cobb will never quit the game as
long as he can star in it, and, further
more, it is not likely that the Detroit
club would start season without hav-
ing him in the lineup
Word comes from Shreveport that

These belated spurts are considered to
De Tor the sole purpose of affecting the
next seasons salary and not at all in

been able to boast of in several years
The addition Of Chapman and Johnston
has made great difference in that
team. They are a couple of hustling
young ball players who put a lot of life
into the team-something that it has
lacked heretofore. There was a lot of
difference In the playing of the Maps
after these youngsters got into the
lineup compared with its work pre-
vious to that time.
Though the New York American
League team was a bitter disappoint-
ment during the last campaign, that
club may prove a surprise next sea-
sen. On paper the team looks to have
chance to beat out several Of it's
rivals. Injuries proved a great handi-
cap during the last campaign, when
there was really not a single occasion

ANALOSTAN GUNNERS.
A. B. Slime Carries Off High Honors
in Weekly Shoot.

With fifteen members on the firing line
the Analostan Gun Club closed its season
Saturday afternoon and, considering that
a stiff breeze swept the range, splendid
scores were hung UP. After the wind
died down six marksmen shot at double
targets.
A. B. Slime carried off high honors in
the singles, with score Of 81 out Of 100.
while Frank Huseman, one OF the best
shots of the club. recorded the best
score in the doubles, having killed ~
birds out of As. Husenan, who was both
cred by the breeze, managed to take
second place in the singles. when he
broke 81 saucers out Of 100. Third hon.
ors went to E. w. Ford. who got 81 out
of 100 in the singles.
A. W Parsons was next to Huseman in
the doubles, with 81 dead ones to his
credit out of As. while Slime broke 81
out of 3S. William Wagner, one of the
Oldest members in the club, showed the
youngsters that he has not lost his shoot
ing eye, when he brought down 81 out
of 80.
The Analostans will hold special shoots
this winter. the first probably coming
on Thanksgiving day.
