course, for his own team, and he
showed rare capabilities as a mana
ger. But he and President Ban John
son never did get along very we'll to-
gether. Jennings always had his say
and always had something to say.
When 1t came to the worlds series
two years ago between the Giants and
the Athletics, Hugh Immediately ia
vored the New York team. Johnson,
of course, didn't like it at all, and he
took Hugh to task. That didn't
change Jennings's views any, how
ever and when the Giants and the
Boston Red Sox were playing last
year for the worlds title Hugh was
again found roofing for McGraw and
his men. All this may not nave been
polite, to say the least, but it was
fact, nevertheless, and showed
that Jennings was both bold and hon
est in his stand.
Friends of Jennings say right now
that Hugh will be with Brooklyn next
season, unless some unforeseen hitch
pops up in the meantime. Such was
the case last year, when stories in
tended to injure Jennings and the De-
troit Club were published and Hugh
signed with the Tigers for "the good
of the game" Now, however, affairs
are different and 1t is believed that
Jennings is in a receptive mood in re-
gard to Brooklyn and Brooklyn, of
course, would be tickled to have Hugh
preside over her baseball affairs. Mr..
Ebbets will not admit--not now-that
there is anything in the story that
Jennings is to manage the Superbas
next season and he is going out of his
way to make it clear that Bill Dab
len will again be in charge of affairs.

During the last few days there has
been cry of the fans in the stands
and the bleachers at Ebbets Field
for Jake Daubert to manage the
team Ebbets is entirely too shrewd
a baseball man to listen to such an
appeal. Daubert is a popular player
and as a first baseman he would be
hard to beat, but Jake, who wouldn't
take the job, it is said, If 1t were
offered him, would find that with the
added responsibility his popularity
would be likely to wane and his play
ing would be sure to suffer. Great
players have made great managers.
as McGraw, Jennings, Chance and
Mack, for instance, but great play
ers have also failed dismally when
put in charge of a ball club Hal
Chace for one. A change of Dahlen
for Daubert is not likely, but Dahlen
for Jennings is more than a chance
bet.

Newsboys who sell the Star are
overjoyed at the announcement that
they are to be guests at the Velo-
drome cycle track Wednesday night
Arrangement with Messrs. Million and
Chapman, the promoters, has been
made to entertain 800 boys at the

hour. The race meet will be regular
in every way and there will be a full
card of events. All the favorites,
Kramer, Clark, Goullet, Grenda,
Fogler. Cavanagh and MacDougall,
the amateur king, will ride. The
newsboys surely are in for big time.

James e. Sullivan, the big mogul of
the A. A. L.. has made it plain that
he doesn't intend to tolerate athletic
meets Of any kind in which men and
women are allowed to compete in
open events. He has taken the Amer
lean Life Saving Society to task for
billing such competitions, and his let
tier, which has been made public, is
intended as warning to other or
foundations. The affair in question
has to do with mixed swimming con-
TESTS, and the life savers will lose
their A. A. U. standing if it ever
happens again.
The purses at the Cleveland grand
J lcircuit meet, the first of the season,

better racing than marked the week
