II Is expected that news of the sale
OF the Distiller franchise will be given
out at any moment, several local and
outside men dickering for the club.
At any rate it is unlikely that the
present men will be behind the club in
1914, practically all OF them having
signified their intention of dropping
out of baseball
The general opinion IS that outside
capital will be secured to run the club
next season and it is considered prob
able that club of higher class will
be behind the Distillers next summer.

Joined the Giants has more than borne
out the judgment of the Little Ma

prices. The late John T. Brush never

Two passes and a single served to
fill the route, then Wildfire made good,

three runs scoring. Zim's single
showed Wildfire home, making 1t three
straight for the Cub machine in this

Up to the turning point the cellar
champs looked like winners. Some

two passes and double steal netting
one in the opener and three swats
