AdVices from New York are to the
effect that John T. Connery, promi-
nent Chicagoan, is dickerilg for con-
troll of the Cub stock, being backed
by coterie of local politicians. Just
who is in the deal has not leaked out,
but an alleged wise head intimated
that Roger Sullivan, who is supposed
to have backed Connery, may be the
man behind the bankroll
With connery at the head of the
Cubs it would be possible to rehabili-
tate the team in the estimation of the
fans, and make the club a good pay
ing proposition.
1t is certainty that connery will
not go into the deal unless assured
that he will have a good team during
the coming summer. That means
that the league would have to make |
some provision for recommending the |
West Siders for the loss of Johnny
Evers. ~

be made to suffer for the hot-headed-
ness of former boss. They have
supported baseball, and are entitled
to consideration.
The local Federal League club will
take another real step toward open
ing the season tomorrow when the
athletes start for Shreveport, La, for
spring training. At least sixty people
are expected to leave on the special
train over the l. c., and a score of
them will be candidates for the team.
The makeup of the squad as an
nounced a few days ago is subject
to change, and one or two athletes
may be missing when the RATHER pulls
out. On the other hand, there may be
additions. The exact roster will not
be known until late tonight.
Manager Tinker was optimistic to-
day, and put in busy hours hitting
the players who hiked into town for
the jaunt. He asserted he would have
a strong team when the season open
ed, and gave out the usual talk about
winning the first pennant in the new
ly-organized league. Seven other
managers are making the same
claims.
Both Sox teams were beaten on the
coast yesterday, Frisco licking the
first squad, Z to 2, and the seconds
taking trimming from Venice, Z
to 1.
Reb Russell pitched five innings
for the first team and was touched
for eight hits. That seems a large
total, but the Texas southpaw was
not using any more stuff than neces-
sary except in the pinches. Only one
run scored against him. .
