PH|L[|ES HOLD
ON TO STANLEY
Claim Washington South
paw Twirler is Not Free
to Sign with Giants.
By G.. A. NoIaht

Philadelphia. Jan. a1.-Manaser
Doom of the Phillics has denied that
Len Stanley. the southpaw:: twirler,
who lives in Washington. had been
signed by the New York Nationals.
Stanley Was on the Phillies' pay roit
last spring, and he was sem to the
Atlantic City club. He did splendid
work for the Seashorc team.
The Phillies still claim the player.
Both President Meyers and Manager
Johnny Castle of the Atlantic City
team deny that a deal has been made
by them with the Giants for Stanley.
a dispatch from Portland. Ore,
states that tho Phillics have made a
trade with the club there. whereby
Catcher Mike Loan and Pitcher Stan
ley have been traded for Dan Rowley,
a catcher. This deal lacks confrma-
ton at this II Of the line.
Loan was with the Phillies last
YEAR. He made his reputation will,
the southern manual training school
team. and Joined the Phillies last sea-
son. Loan did fine work lin the prac-
tice games at Philadelphia park. and
the players expect him to make his
mark on the diamond with a little
more experience.

mand for such a contest. Luther is

garded supreme in his class.
Two Claimants for Match.
Both Al Palzer and Joe jeanette are
claiming the mattel, with Jack johnson
June -. the night before the Grand
Prix. Al Lippe writes from Paris that
all details have been arranged for a
meeting Of Palzer and Johnson, and
Dan McKetrick is now on his way to
the gay French city to fin things I'M
for jeanette. McKetrick exhibited
letters and cables before sailing indi-
eating that the match was on, and has
been on for weeks
The only difficulty would seem to
be Johnson's troubles with the federal
here. If he can get away.
johnson will doubtless jump at the
chance Of meeting Palzer. but may
be so anxious to clash with Jean

1t shows that three clubs in that cir
cult have greatly outclassed the other
five during the entire period. and in

teams have been almost completely

This nine year interval is selected
because the present style 1a4 anne
schedule has been used in both leagues
since then and also because previous
to 1904 the teams were subject to
sudden changes of extraordinary ma
ture on account of the baseball war
which was waged bitterly up to the
season Of 1908. Since 1904 the sta
