believed that another victory was in

verse, however, and the Wheelmen
outplayed the visitors all the way.

the winners, did yeoman work for

WANTS ACKERLAND
AS CUBS PRESIDENT
TAFT Has Offered Berth TO Vice.
President, Says Herr
mann.
TENER BEHIND CLUBS SALE

In an interview at Cincinnati last
night August Hermann, president of
the Cincinnati ball club, said that c.
p. Taft had told him that he had Of
fered the presidency of the Chicago
National League club to Harry Acker-
land, of Pittsburg. vice-president of
the club. According to Mr.. Herr
mann's information Mr.. Ackerland
neither accepted or declined the offer
and now has it under consideration.
President John l.. Tener of the Ma
tional League, was the last of the
baseball magnates to leave Cincinnati
yesterday, following the memorable
meeting of Saturday, when Charles
w. Murphy, of Chicago, eliminated
himself from major league baseball
by selling his stock in the Chi
cago Nationals and resigning as its
president. Previous to leaving yes
terday Governor Tener held another
meeting with Charles p. Taft, who
purchased, all of the stock in the
Chicago Nationals controlled by Muir
ply. That the future of the Chicago
club was discussed was not denied,
but neither Mr.. Tener nor Mr. Taft
would go further in an interview.
The meeting of Saturday and the
gathering yesterday of those baseball
men who were in town were peculiar
in respect to the amount of gossip
furnished. The Murphy deal was all
that was discussed, and other than
the first statement giving the details
OF the deal, there was no matters of
any kind taken up. One of the mag
mates said: 1.-THE news is so big that
it has completely overshadowed
everything else. We are going to let
good enough alone for little while"
That President Tener was alone in
engineering the deal with Mr.. Taft
was ascertained positively yesterday
as all of the magnates confessed that
they had no idea whatever of the ma
ture of the called meeting here other
than that they all supposed it had
something to do with the Evers case.

Henry O'Day, the new manager of

players expressed their qualification
at the fact.
