Will Not Start Peddling Any
of His Yankee Ball
Players.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-"we've got a
bunch of bali players, and don't pro-
pose to start peddling any of them"
This was the reply of Harry wolver-
ton, the new leader of the Hilltops,
to raft of rumors concerning changes
In the makeup of locals during the
coming campaign for the American
league pennant.
"Of course continued Wolverton,
mo manager is willing to stand pat
eternally and let a lot of good trading
opportunities go by; but don't believe
there is any need Of hurrying to get
new raw material. I will certainly not
overlook any opportunities to strength
en- the Highlanders, but at present there
are no trades pending nor are there
likely to be any for while.
There has been lot of talk to the
effect that ! desire to trade knight.
This is not so. consider knight a
good ball player. He didn't have par
ticularly good luck last year, but he
has got the suff in him, and L am sure
he will make good. No sir, / am not
going to peddle any of my players and
I would be perfectly willing to start the
season with the team as 1t stands now. y

governor declared 1t was.
