got s7,00O for the leap, has informed his friends here that he has an ambi- tion to return to the ranks of organ ized ball and play with the Giants. And the Giants will be glad to get him if the deal can be satisfactorily ar ranged. Manager McGraw has ad- mired the speedy Cuban for the last two seasons and believes that he could be developed into the fastest base runner in the game.
 Marsans has been an unruly person to manage and gave Charley Herzog considerable trouble last year in Gin cinnati. The Cuban admits that he would be glad to play with New York, but first the club must go to all the trouble of fixing up his many troubles. In the first place Marsans would want the Giants to pay back the ST, 900 obli- gatIon to the Feds. He would also demand a $2,o0o bonus for signing. The injunction which was obtained by the Cincinnati club restraining Mar sans from playing with the Feds" is still pending in the courts.
 MarSans is playing ball in Havana under an assumed name. The sensa- . uonal first baseman on the Havana team named Mendiondo is no other than Armando Marsans. Although an outf1elder, Marsans is playing a. great game at the first bag and is burning up the base paths with his running. The Havana team is just now playing 8 series of games with the Birming- ham club of the Southern Association, although the National Commission frowns on any players or organized ball playing against Federal League players. This violation of the rule may cause the Birmingham barons some trouble
 Palmero, the Giants young Cuban pitcher, is also playing on this same team and he is likely to receive a re- buke for associating with the contract Jumper. Palmerto. by the way, has pitched four games and has won them all Also on the team is Romanach. the Cuban shortstop, who was signed by Brooklyn and refused to report. Gonzales, the Cuban catcher, who was with the Braves for time last year and also with Long Branch. is man. ager of the Havana club.
 It would require a lot of very dipIo- matic engineering to land Marsans back Into organized ball, for, by his actions in Cincinnati, he has aroused the enmity of the officials of organ ized baseball more than any other player with the exception of Hal Chase, Ban Johnson has stated that neither Marsans nor Chase would be received back into the ranks under any circumstances. Even though Man ager McGraw. does want to land Mar sans, it is not likely that he will con- slider the unreasonable conditions un- der which MaPsans wants to join the New York club.

Again, the F1lInors that have gone the rounds about the possible sale of Baker and Collins, have their sale to New York as an objective point, and such a move eR the part of the Philadelphia club has prsbabiy been urged by. Johnson himself
 With peace restored and the barriers between organized baseball and the jumpers removed, both Russell Ford and Ray Caldwell would be enabled to re- turn to the Highlaaders. With Plank and either Eddie Collins or Baker aIse enrolled with the HighlaHders the fight for next years bunting would see the New York club in the battling til the YeFy end,

HIGHLANpERs WILL
 BE STRENGTHENED.
Seems aS if New Workers Have Been
 Neglected in Trades,

No matter who js chosen to direct the destinieH of the New York High flanders next season. regardless of whether Jack Dunn, Roger Peoikin- Paush or Ira Thomas be selected to i'll the shoes that did not fit Frank Chance last season, 1t has been pretty definitely decided that for 1915 the New York American league club will be much stronger outfit than 1t was during the season just finished, and Tor the f1rSt time In many years will have reason to be regarded as & real contender for the American leaguA ( championship.
 It may hays been noticed that iR all the trades and rumors of trades be- tween major league clubs the High flanders have been seemingly neglected. This may be due in part to the fact that the Inagnates nave been busily en- gaged in trying to arrange terms of peace between organized baseball and the Federals: but 1t may be that this seeming neglect has been altogether in- tentionai,
 At any rate the probability Is that by the time the National league mag mates gather at New York for their annual meeting some big deal by which the Highianders vii be i'm ineasurably strengthened will surely be announced,
 All signs point to this. For one thing the intense interest that President Ban Johnson is taking in this clubs anairs and his eagerness to buy out Jim Devery's holdings and put anoth- CT in charge shows pretty plainly that 1t is. to be the policy of the American league to put In New York a club that will be ahle te dispute with the Giants the popular patronage at the Pele grounds, Ban Jehnson. believes mat the time has arrived for a move or this kind, and etsa if the chances et enc er two ether clubs may be dim med, he believes that the whole Ameri- can league will be benefited by in creased strength in the New York American teeSn.
 When ,MCIfTaV's Giants failed to win the pennant this past season it became plain that the faverites ef years were slipping not aieae as re- gardS strength on the field but like wise in the box office receipts. AL though the receipts of the club showed a handsome sum oR the right side of the balance sheet, it was the sensa-. nsRai Werk of the Braves and the big crowds that the games between tine Braves and Giants drew both in Bos- ten and New York tht were mostly ac- countable fer this. Once StaIlings' men elinched the flag, interest in the Giants, fell -off, and during the pest season series between the tive New York clubs the fans pulled hard for the Highianders to win.

MURPHY SAYS HE
 MAY TAKE PHILLIPS
Claims He. Owens Majority Interest |. in That Tean1-Bioeked Deal With
 FederaIs,

Charles W. Murphy, former presi- dent of the Chicago National League club, who has been declared ''out" of baseball by Governor John K. Tener, president Of the National league, is breaking into print at every oppor- tunity these days. Just as long as Chubby Charley can do this he is satisfied, but his latest rawlings are not likely to cause the National league magnates much worry.
 Murphy blocked the sale of the Chicago Cubs by advising Charles P. Taft to hold on to the stock. Taft was weakening after the past season of war with the F'ederals, but Murphy tipped Taft to the fact thata the Fed erals had whipped themselves and told Taft not to sell. Now Murphy is claiming he blocked the sale because he owns a half interest in the Cubs, and has added the statement that he also owns a majority interest in the Phillies.
 This is considered a bluff on AIur- phys part by those who know that he simply holds for so much money due him for the stock he sold when the Cubs changed hands, and that cer- tain amount of stocks has been depos- ited as collateral to protect the notes. It is nothing more than a mortgage, and as long as Murphy is paid his in- terest he has no chance of claiming anything.
 Nothing could be funnier than Mur- phys declaration that he is still fin baseball and that he might take charge of the Phillies. Murphy knows there isn't the slightest chance of this. If Murphy held an interest in either the Cubs Gr PhillieS nothing could meetings and he has taken no part in keep him out oft the National league them for almost a year. If the pres ent owners of the Philadelphia club should faail to pay the interest, the National league will see to it that the ray claim the club through default of money Is paid, even should Mur- payment It wiuld be of no use for him for he would have to be elected q member of the league again, and this never could happen as long as Cover nor Tener is at the head of 1t.

DEAD BANDIT MAY
 HAVE BEEN A COUNT
Man Who Committed Suicide After a HoId-up in Philadelphia Hotel.

Philadelphia, Nov. 27.-That the bandit who committed suicide in a hotel in this city on Wednesday night after he had wounded and held up Morris G. Condon, a guest, rented a room here on November 20 under the name of Fritz Capello.- -Reichgraff Yon Wyckenburg, was established tonight by the detectives who have been en- deavoring co solve the mystery of his identity. A lodging house keeper who identified the body and the clothing in the morgue tonight, informed the detectives that the man had engaged a room in his home last Friday, stat ing that he was an electrician who had just come to this city from New York because he had no work in the latter city. He seemed to be very quiet and studious but stayed out late at night and seldom arose before 1 p. m.
 In 1911. the year when. according to the suicides papers. he was cash tered or dismissed from the army. this regiment was at Innsbrucke, four hours ride from Innichen and Mir. Pereked, while confident that the rob Der was not Count Wicizenburg, says the mans familiarity with the third regiment and it's movements shows that he probably was in the districts where it was stationed

TEST. OF DOMESTIC INVESTMENT CONDITIONS

''~ New York, Nov 27.-Local interest In financial affairs today converged Faa1nly about the stock exchange and .Sts reopening tomorrow for limited dealings in bonds. The movement was recognized as partaking largely of the nature of an experiment, and aside from it's bearing on the securities market as a whole, will be regarded ae offering the best and only available rest of domestic investment conditions
 On the surface. there appeared to be no reason to apprehend selling movement of large proportions, the terTas imposed acting as a check to any heavy selling for foreigners. It was known, however. that the exigen- cteS by the European war have brought about pressing necessities at home, and this situation may have to be reckoned with.
