Crack Outfielder Announces His Intention to

something besides hit is shown in the
case of Jack Leliveh. There are few
better hitters than Jack, yet he seems
unable to hold his own in fast company.
He got his first trial here with the Ma
tiOnals, and while he hit we'll he was a
poor fielder and slow man on the bases.
He seemed to have improved after spend
ing a year or so with Rochester, and
New York picked him up. He hit well
for Chance, too. but it did not take the
Peerless Leader long to realize that Le-
livelt had too many shortcomings and he
was traded to Cleveland. Birmingham
used him almost exclusively as a pinch
hitter, and he made good, hitting safely
eight times out of the nine that he was
sent up in a pinch. But there is nothing
else that Jack can do satisfactorily. and
consequently he has been sent back to
the minors, Toledo being his address next
season.
Lelivelt and Ryan go because they lack
ed speed, and he realizes that a slow
ball team regardless of its hitting abil-
ity, has but little chance to win a pen
nant these days.
He blames his failure to land on top in
the last campaign to a lack of speed and
he proposes to better his team in this
respect, even if he has to sacrifice some
of it's batting strength in doing SO.
Griffith has long since been an advo-
cate of speed. He likes a fast man bet
ter than a good hitter who is slow, and
this opinion seems TO be shared by most
of the successful base ball leaders

The announcement of Clyde Milan's APP

Bowers of Clarkeville, Tex. reached Man.
agcr Griffith this morning. The event is
to take pace November 10. Milan played
his first professional bah as q member of
the Clarkeville team seven or eight years
ago, at which time he met his bride-to-be.
During the winter months Milan fire.
quently visited the Texas town.
His intimate friends have known for
some time that Milan intended to enter
the ranks of the benedicts this winter.
Just where the future home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Milan will be has not been decided,
but it is more than likely that Linden.
Tenn, Milan's home town, will be chosen.

season Washington played by Tar the

SIT having won thirty-fiye of the fifty
seven games played.
Boston made the next best showing dur
ing this period, gaining a percentage OF

ing twenty-five.
Though the Athletics won the pennant
|by comfortable margin, their showing
during the closing months OF the season
was decidedly poor the team winning
|twenty-eight games and losing just one
less than they won, which gave them q
percentage OF 800.

middle of April. This date falls one day
earlier each year. and SO it is necessary
every five or six years to jump back a
week and open little later than usual.
For instance. last spring the season

ing date will be April 8. but that is get

Fogel contends that he was ready to

insists that he had millions behind him
and that he would also finance a club In
New York. where he claimed to have a
site selected much nearer the center of
the city than the Polo Grounds. Not
Withstanding all these promises the Fed

he leave the meeting, and then made a
public statement that they would not
allow him to join the league in any
capa city. Now, Fogel wants to so to

There is poss bility that Fielder
Jones. once the leader of the White Sox,
will be found at the head of some major
league club next season. When Jones
learned the other day that he was a free
agent his name having been dropped
from the reserve list of the Chicago cub,
he expressed himself as being willing to
come back to the game as manager of
one Of the big league clubs Jones displa v
ed much ability as a manager during his
regime in Chicago. He won the pennant
in 1906 with one of the understanding
teams Imaginable. and followed this by
beating the Cubs in the worlds series.
There are several teams in fast COM
pany that would probably be benefited
by having Jones in charge. BrooNlyn is
one of these. and according to reports
from New York it is not at all unlikely
that Owner Ebbets will make an effort
to secure Jones signature to con-
tract.
A New York critic considers it short
sighted policy on the part of the Ameri-
can League that it does not arrange to
give Frank Chance a winner. pointing
out that a winning team in Gotham
would mean big financial returns for all
the other teams in the league.
Therei no doubt that this is true
but whenever a league lends itself to
strengthen certain clubs it is doing some
thing that will hurt the game. The NeH
York club has just as good a chance to
pick up good players from the same
sources that other teams get them as
any of it's rivals. No one gave Mack any
help build up winner in Philadelphia.
and the local club. which for years had
a tailender, was not given any assist
ance.
Mismanagement is responsible for the
weak team which has been representing
New York in the American League for
several years. Had better judgment pre-
vailed there would be winner there
now. Owner Farrell is susceptible to out
side influence. which accounts for his
getting rid o. capable men like Griffith
and Staliings and appointing men like
l.lberfeld and Chase to run his ball ciuo.
In Chance he has a capable manage.
and il he will allow him TO run the clubs
affairs he will eventually have winning
team without getting any assistance from
the rival clubs.
1t is not unlikely that the next season
will open as late as April IL instead of
around the 10th of the month, as is
usually the case. There is no fixed rule
