NEW YORK, Feb. 12.--Jack Ryan, the
climbers, veteran coach and scout, does
not rest even in the winter, for he has
found a young infielder over in Jersey
City. and has recommended that he be
given a trial at Charlottesville. Mana
ger Griffith is likely to send the young
ster the official papers in day or so,
and then-the Griffmen viii number
thirty-nine athletes.
This kids name is Dolan,' Ryan
told the writer today, 'and he looks
good enough for trial with Grif. OF
course. he may be too green for fast
company now, but then / was tipped
off to him by a friend OF mine.
aDolan is nineteen years old, weighs
about l6o pounds, and is five feet ten
inches tall. He is a sandlot player in
Jersey, and is absolutely inexperienced.
j hope Griff takes him to Charlottesville
for trial He can be placd out in
some smaller league, you know, If too
Green for US now
Inasmuch as Griff is enamored of
youngsters on his ball club. he will un-
doubtedly sign up Dolan and add him
to his infield squad.

break into the game, and the Climbers
coach has asked Connie Mack to make
place Tor hum al Raleigh, n. C., where
Earl Mack, son Of the American League
sphinx, VIII be manager THIS season.
Young Ryan plays the outfield and first
base, and may catch on with Raleigh.
"A merry fignt is expected today when
the National League takes up the mat
ter OF having the New York club pay
into the league treasury 25 per cent of
its worlds series receipts. 1t is re-
ported that President Hampstead Is just
as opposed TO the plan as John T.
Brush was, and that he viii oppose the
payment TIL the last. This matter Will
come before the meeting late today.
Bostons Complain.
The American Leaguers nave agreed
to accept the change, but the Boston
Nationals have come TO the fore with a
protest. The blder leaguers will gather
at the McAlpin this afternoon and
when they adjourn the big meeting will
be thing of the past. This is the final
opportunity for the magnates to stand
in the limelight and answer the cheers.
Saturday the Yankees leave for Ber-
muda and after that the fans will not
be contented TO read about the moguis
when the players are cavorting about
on the diamond
Trades and rumors Of trades kept at
tention at a high pitch last night in the
corridors of New York's newest hotel.
On every side managers in both big
leagues might be seen buttonholing each
other and engaging in earnest converse
ton. At the mere approach of a scribe
the confab ceased and there ensued a
gentlemanly silence that could be felt.
One thing was settled anyway in the
nix-up. Frank Chance will trade none
of his players until he knows something
about their ability. He discussed this
last night with the writer, saying
There's nothing to all this trade talk
in which the New York club is men,
toned. What a crazy man I'd be TO let
go Of some man just because I'm igno-
rant of his worth. It's safe bet tina,
the man seeking him knows just how
good he is. SO I'll hang on to the men
] now have until I've seen them play.
After that I'll know something about
them for myself"
Glad of Change.
The Yankees new manager is quite
satisfied with his shift from the National
League 10 the Johnsonian circuit and IL
willing 10 admit that his surroundings
are certain TO be more pleasant. How.
ever. he is unwilling to say much about
Charlie Murphy, merely inferring thai
Us prevaricator, the wee mogul from
the Windy City takes all the prizes and
the trophies and will never have to send
them back to Sweden.
"I am through with Murphy now. sc
what's the use of even thinking Of him .
concluded Chance. He did the best he
could to cmbarrass me, telling falst
stories about me, but l guess most OF
them were not believed and that l an
as well off today as / was before ht
told them"
Col. Bob Hedges, the Brownie mag
nate, departed today for his home, &C

having passed a splendid three days
No. he worked no trade. but he didn'
