/ club. have 1t on the best of au-
thority that johnson refused to allow
Farrell to retain stallings, but Stall
ings always claimed that he and
johnson were the best of friends.
However. 1t might be well to let the
public know who chased Stallings,
the best manager the Yankees ever
had. out of New York.

The American League at its meet
ing in Chicago today will bring up
the matter of new ownership of the
New York club. 1t is believed. Far
rell may still be allowed to retain his
holdings. but Bill Devery,s it is said,
will positively have to go. AS Devery
owns a half interest in the New York
club II will mean that some one will
have to buy him out As baseball
stock is not very desirable the hold
ings may not bring enough to suit
Devery, who, from all accounts, is
willing to get out If he can only get
his money back. 1t Is a peculiar
state of affairs, but the club owners
in the American League cannot say
their soul is their own. as long as
Ban johnson is their president.

Connie Mack has denied all the
wild rumors about his baseball club.
He says he isn't going to sell his
stock in the Athletics, he isn't going
to sell Eddie Collins and he isn't
going to manage the New York Yam
KEGS. For Mack, he is doing lot of
talking and lot of explaining, and
he Is evidently peeved at the turn
affairs have taken. When every
thing is known Mack cannot be
blamed for asking waivers on Benz
der, Plank and COMBS. He has
very good reasons, no doubt. His
remarks about Hugh Jennings may
also be apropos, but as Hugh is on
the stage he is booster for Jen-
nings instead of a knocker. BY the
way, Jennings and Ben Smith, b. f.
c., may play an engagement in
Newark next week.

Reports from the Pacific coast have
1t that Harry Wolverton, who not so
very long ago managed the Newark
club, is in financial straits out there.
Wolverton and man named Jacobs
invested around $4,000 in the Sac
ramento club of the Pacific Coast
League. The club played part of its
games in San Francisco, but it was
a failure. Wolverton and Jacobs
could not pay the salaries Of their
players and did not meet the flnan-
cial obligations to the league. AS a
result they were declared out of
baseball. Wolverton has had his
share of hard luck in baseball. He
came here to play with George STALL
ings, and was made manager before
Joe McGinnity and H. Clay Smith
bought the team. McGinnity, as
owner, couldn't see Wolverton boss
ing him around-and Harry did boss
Joe around-and as a result there
was considerable scrapping, but for
which Newark would have won the
pennant. Finally Wolverton got
hurt and McGinnity fired him at the
end Of the season. McGinnity then
presumed to manage the club, and
the fizzle Joe made out of it every
body and his brother around here
know.
