A. Comiskey, master of the White Sox, the New Workers visited Cornis- key Park during the forenoon, and the new packers of the Yankees took copious notes, planning to instruct their architects to incorporate in the Yankees plant many of the idea. that were used in the construction Of the old Romans palace.
 The American, Leaguers would neither affirm nor deny the story that
 Wild BilP' Donovan is to manage the team. Johnson seemed inclined to stay under cover on this point, and permit Ruppert and Huston to spring the glad tidings after their arrival in New York.
 In connection with the promotion of "Wd1d Bi1l," a story was released on the baseball riaIto that Heine Wagner. veteran shortstop of the Bosk ton Reds would manage the Provi- dence Grays next season. succeeding Donovan Wagner was disabled all last season and has welcomed the berth with the International League champions of 1914.
 TraveHng eastward with Messrs Ruppert and Huston went Joseph J 1annin, owner of the Boston Red Sox and the Providence Club, and John J McGraw, who had dickered in vain over the long distance telephone with President Baker of the PhiIIies. The manager of the Giants was bent on trading Rube Marquard and an in fielder to the Phi1lies for Honus To- bert, but failing to gain his point, de- cided to hasten on to the Quaker City for a heart-to-heart taIik with the chief packer of the Phi11ies

 If Wild Bill Donovan gets the job as manager of the New York Americans there will be quite a reunion of form CT Eastern association players with the Yankees It is said that Lefty High and Kid Rehg, former Haftford stars, will also be shipped to the Yan- kees part of the deal. First Base man Pipp of Detroit. Infelder Miller of St. Louis and Inf1elder Berger of Chicago will also come to the Yam kees.
 Donovan broke into baseball as a pitcher for the Waterbury team when Roger Connor handled the club. High and Ref1g are of more recent vintage. Both youngsters are discoveries of Tom Connery who managed Hartford until a few years ago. They were found in the St. Louis Trolley league and made good from the start. High acted as utility man for Detroit last season and batted .266. Rehg was with the Boston Red Sox but had lit tie to do except act as pinch hitter Both youngsters are fast outfie1ders.
 The Springfield Union practically admits that Owner C1arkin of Hart ford and Owner Carey of Springfield are willing to join the FederaIs. In a story published today the Union wants to know what President O'Rourke SWOu4o OO aDOuL It. Let ClaFk1n and Carey make such a, statement on pa per or in the presence of witnesses and they'l see what can be done about it, said the Eastern association pres ident today. The Union probably doesn't know that the National board. could take the Springfield and Hart ford franchises away from the pres e1at owners if disloya1ty to organized baseball could be shown

 Washington. He remained with the Senators until 1890, when he joined Buffalo, and, the following season, was sold to Pittsburgh. From 1894 to 1896 he was manager of the Pirates, which twice finished in sew enth place under Comics direction He left Pittsburgh in 1896 and be- team, and it was with the Brewers that he first began to display that managerial genius which has made him ''the sage of baseball In 1900 Ban Johnson launched the American League, and Connie was the pilot of the Milwaukee club in the new circuit. The Brewers finished second that an mum, which was Comics last year as an active ball player. Since then, as pilot of the Athletics. he has conduct ed his campaign from the bench.
 In 1901, when the American League invaded Philadelphia with Connie at the helm, the Athletics finished fourth The next year he grabbed the pennant of the infant circuit In 1903 his club finished second, and in 1904 slumped to fifth place. Another flag was hoisted over the Athletic park III 1SU0. In the next four years Comics army finished fourth, second. sixth and second, resp pectiveIy. In 1910, 1911, 1913 and 1914 the Mack ian forces were again pennant win ners. By capturing the: sixth Ameri- can League flag this year, Connie broke all records for the major cir cults. McGraw has copped five flags for New York, Frank Se1ee got five for Boston. and Adrian Anson five for Chicago. Ned Ha,n1on annexed three pennants for Baltimore and two for Brooklyn. Charley Comislzey captu1- ed four flags for the St. Louis club of the old American Association and one for the Chicago Americans.
 Many fans believe that the tall tutors day as a leader of worlds champions are over, but that is a long way from being a, safe betting propo- sttion. At that. it would help the game if Cunning Comics club could be weakened to the point where the American League race would be less of a. foregone conclusion.

 FAST BATTLE
 DEFEAT TROY
By Wagner.0

The armless gentleman who tied himself in knots for the delight of the multitude proved a mascot for the Blue Ribbon basketball tossers at. Colonial hall last night The score was tied at 13 to 13 when he ap- peared on the floor at the close Of the first half. But when he had exhaust ed his box of tricks. including his shaving specially, the Ribbons came out and laced the Troy five by 31 to 19.
 Although the Troy players beat the Ribbons on their last appearance in our midst they couldn't repeat last night. Their passing was just as good but the Ribbons did some remarkable from taking many shots. The Rib bons displayed a better brand of pass ing than usual and their shooting was also of superior quality.
 The return of Beekman to the fold helped the locals a lot. He exhibited to get five goals as well as seven from the foul line. Young Reich worked well with Beckman by feeding the ball to the crack tosser on many occasions.
 Leonard, the regular center, was unable to appear so Ewing was sub stituted. He played fairly well but has not the skill of Leonard. Roach and Swenson were going fine in the guard positions. Swenson made two long shots in addition to holding his man safe. Wa1lurn, the old Ribbon player was with Troy, but couldn't do much against Swenson. Harvey. the lanky center, and Corrigan exceIIed for Troy.
 At the start of the game the Tro- Jans opened up their passing game and had scored two goals before the Ribbons got going. Then the locals struck their stride and before the end of the period the score was tie. Tn the last half the Ribbons played rings around the enemy. The Iineun:

REMAINDER OF THE
 HUNTING PARTY RETURNS

Hal Johnston and Jack Keller, the two remaining members of the party of four duck hunters who went down to the Murphy Flats On Friday, returned to Skagway last evening. While game was very scarce they say that they would have had reasonable success had 1t not been for the bad weather which was encountered during the whole time of thei absence. For the above reasons they brought back a comparatively small bag.
 To make up for his ill-success in the hunting field Jack Keller, while near the beginning of the Dalton Trail on the way home es- pied by the roadside a beautiful wild rose in full bloom, which he plucked and now has pressed in a small memorandum book which ne carries around with him constantly

BIG GUNS GUARD THE
 ROUTE TO PRINCE RUPERT

Prince Rupert. oct. 29-Aecord- ing 10 word brought by passengers who arrived in this city recently aboard the steamer Chelohsin, d point on the inside passage be- tween Prince Rupert and vancouver is now being fortified.
 The place selected, by the mill tary and naval authorities is . secret but is said to have great strategical importance.
 As matters stand at present, a cruiser of the enemy could not reach Vancouver, victoria or Ma naimo by way of the Straits of Jaun de Fuca. Up to week or so ago, however, hostile warship could have made a raid oa these cities by coming around the north crn end of vancouver Island, and it is to prevent this that guns are now being mounted at a place be- tween vancouver Island and the mainland.
 The passengers of the Chelohsin saw two heavy guns being placed in a position so as to command the channel absolutely and make it i'm possible for a ship to pass. It looked as if the work had only been in progress for few days. vessels thought to be mine layers were also seen.
