- .au begin without nickel

.H#urafnr class. John J. McGraw,
.as very wise manager of the New

George a millionaire. He had lit

ont of the Missouri metropolis, and
succeeded in doing so. Incidental
ry he was foxy enough to buy a de
sirsbIe piece of property for his ball
yard. Now the railroads must have
his property. George wants $1,000
MOO for the real estate.
He sold the Louisville club to
Biv Grayson for 100000, and Jim
nv McGlu paid him $4,000 for the
Denver club. George has declined
100000 for the Kansas City fran
r1fse. Baseball surely has been
good to George.
MULLER HUGGINS, the new
VI manager Of the Cards, is
shown by the records to be one
Of the best little walters in the
National league. He is likely to
add 70 this reputation before the
pennant race begins. He is doing
considerable waiting right now
waiting for signed contracts that
never come.
DlCK EGAN, second baseman Of

Clark Griffith who was manager of
that team for several seasons:
