Connery May Get Cubs.

The difference between the bid made
for the controlling interest in the Chi
cago club by John T. Connery and his
friends and the price asked by Charles
p. Taft was SO slight that Connery
expects to acquire the stock in a few
days.
This was announced by Connery
yesterday upon his arrival at Chicago
with Charles A. Comiskey and the re-
turning worlds tourists from New
York. 1t was learned that Connery
had made an offer three weeks ago
to President Tener, whose brother,
George Tener. once business part
ner of the Chicago man. had recon-
mended him to the league head. Presi-

nounced that he had quit professional
baseball and would not report this

Los Angeles.

Quite a contrast to the manner in
which some few New York fans ac-
cepted the defeat of their favorites,
the Giants, at our hands last October.
In New York, as in Chicago. we went
to and from the baseball grounds In
taxicabs, but instead of a cheering
mob to greet us, we usually ran the
gauntlet of a shower of sticks. stones,
ripe vegetables, and other missiles too
numerous to mention. Beyond the
smashing of a few window lights In
| our taxis, no damage was done, how
ever.

The boys hurled the pill around the

two solid hours. No game was played,
but a seven-inning tussle scheduled
for this afternoon marks by the way,
the completion of fortnight in this

be sorry TO say good-by to Columbus,
they are beginning to get accustomed

Similar Reception for Giants.

The Giants got a taste of the sarne
kind of friendly feeling on the part
of the Philadelphia populace last sum-
mer, when Umpire Bill Brennan rem
dered his now famous decision which
forfeited a game to the New York.
team. McGraw and his players were
certainly unjustly assailed, as they
had done nothing to influence the UNI
pires verdict. even though they were
benefited by it temporarily.
