1t is all mistake about there be-
ing nothing in a name. There is some
thing in the name "Quigley" that just
naturally makes men of this family take
to some kind of ball sport.
Everybody knows E. C. Quigley and
his little bud" who are expert base
ball and football officials. But on. in
Concordia another Celt of this name
is making himself famous by way OF the
ball route. However, he is neither a
| baseball, football nor a cannon ball
| expert--he's a dancing master.
Having studied how to do the light
fantastic and the can of wiCgley worms
| under a famous Chicago teacher. L. ].
Quigley is teaching the west Kansas
gallants and fair maidens how to Trilby
a la tango. and is holding classes in
Concordia- Beloit and other places.
| There's nothing to it-a Quigley
whose first name was BALI would
simply set the world on fire and over
flow the columns of every newspaper
| in the land.
| Jim Gilmore. president of the Fed
| eral league, says Lee Magee is the
only player the Feds ever have paid
a bonus for jumping. Tinker. Knabe.
Dolan, Seaton and numerous others
| were paid nice sums of money when
kthey jumped, but in all cases except
that of MaRee the money paid down
was an advance on the players salary"
says Gilmore.
| Worlds series of the future will not
differ from those OF the past il point
of the number of games that must be
won to cinch the title. The National
league is opposed to the plan of fore
ing a team to win five or six games
| to take the championship When the
| question is put up to the National
| leaguers for a vote. it will be knocked
in the hat. The National leagues ar
gument will be that the series will
lose it's punch If too many games are
played.
| Chicago, Dec. 1O.-Eddie Collins
will play second base and manage the
White Sox next season. Jimmy Gala
han. former manager, will be vice
president and a scout for the South
side team, also general right hand
man to President Comiskey. He Will
be regarded as the executive head of
the ball club.
No official announcement has been
made by Comiskey to the effect that
Collins will be made manager of the
the general superstition Callahan. OF
course, was not in a position to say
to-day that Collins would get the APP
lpointment. But from his conversation
1t could plainly be seen that he is OF
the opinion that such a choice Will be
made by Comiskey.
Comiskey has been after Collins for
some time-ever since the closing of
the American League season. The
I"old Roman" often said that he would
pay a small fortune if he could only
land a player whose ability had al
ready been demonstrated. And he
made good when he paid Connie Mack
$4,000 for the release OF Collins.
OF course. Comiskey found an inn
Iportant position for Callahan before
he made up his mind to relieve Cal
of the management of the club. 1t
has not been officially announced, but
those close to Comiskey say Callahan
is to be made vice president of the
team. In other words, he is to be
Comfskey's right hand man. He may
do some scouting. because he's a great
judge Of young ball players.
