MAY BE BACK IN FOLD.
TIIIy Shafer May Play Third for
Giants in 1918.

New York. Nov. 3o-Tilly shafer. the
temperamental party who used TO third
base for John McGraw's Giants. may
come back into the fold next season. But
he won't be folded into the arms Of his
former teammates with any degree OF
affection.
The desertion of Shafer left a big hole
at third, and the Giants feel that it was
because of the third base gap that they
were beaten out in the pennant race,
The loss Of the pennant meant the loss
OF world series spoils. Now those Giants
hated to lose the spoIls.
However. il TiIly really plans to re-
join the Giants he will be welcomed. But
the welcome won't be warm. OF course.
the Giants will be glad to get Tilly back
because he will close up the gap. but
they'll remember that he opened the gap
in ls1+and let the Braves trickIe through
10 the pennant.

INVITED TO TEACH GOLF.
VardOn to BE Tutor at New
York Hotel.

New York, Nov. 3O.-Harry Vardon,
who won the open championship of
Great Britain for the sixth time last
June, will be located here this winter
to give instruction at a schcEl to be
established along elaborate lines at
one of the large hotels, unless all re-
ports are in error. A person in touch
with the situation said Thursday night
that the idea was to devote a whole
floor Of the hotel to an indoor course
OF six holes equipped as nearly as pos
sible like outdoor links, except, of
course, in distance and driving facili-
ties. Natural sand bunkers and pits
and grass putting greens are planned.
Although Vsrdon's acceptance of the
offer to locate here for the winter has
not been received as yet, it is said he
was asked to name his own price.
Several American pros have been
mentioned as possible assistants to
VRrdon. among them being Elmer W.
Loving, of Arcola, to whom will be as
signed approaching and putting; Harry
Vinall, of Tuxedo; James Maiden, of
Nassau, and Otto Hackbarth, of Chi
cago.

BY WILLIAM PEET.

Retrenchment all along the line in base
ball is contemplated by club owners and
managers for next season, and II will be
interesting to note what effect this policy
will have so far as the Washington club
Is concerned.
According to reports, all American
League clubs will carry not more than
twenty players next season. This will
allow for a pitching staff Of six, two
extra cstchers, two utility infelders, and
the same number Of outfielders.
Since Griffith has been at the helm in
the Capital he has always carried the
full quota of players-twenty-fo -four-and
until the time set for cutting down as
high as thirty men.
In Cincinnati Manager Hermann an
nodnced that he had decided to do away
with all his scouts, and will depend upon
tips from his friends as to promising
material in the minors.
The Washington club EMPLOYS only one
recognized scout-Mike Kahoe, the vet
Gran catcher-but Grifith has so many
friends among the minor league man
agers that there is seldom a good ball
player developed on whom he does not
get a straight tip.
This retrenchment business also will be
followed out by the Federal League, for
the dope has it that President Gilmore
ana MS ccnIreres have decided to cut out
rosters OF thirty-fiSe men or more and
by the proposed method Of pruning each
club will reduce running expenses aboct
$4,000 during the coming season.
About the surest indication that the
Feds have stopped paying high salaries
Is the announcement that they are not
after Eddie Plank and Walter johnson,
both OF whom were reported as being
ready to jump IL they got their price.
Minor leagues also have decided to fall
into line. There will be a reduction In
the number of umpires carried by some
OF the leagues.
Chick GandiI, the Nationals big first
sacker, who has been bothered with a
severe cough for weeks and who believed
that one Of his lungs was affected, can
breathe easier today.
1t appears that some one told Gandil
he was going into quick consumption.
Chick became scared and consulted a
physician. Indications pointed to lung
trouble, and it was decided to have an
N-ray photograph taken OF Gandils
breathing apparatus.
The plate was developed last night and
no signs OF tuberculosis were apparent.
Gandil is preparing to take another long
hunting trip in the mountains, and will
spend as much Of the winter as possible
in the open air.
