, ence is attributed to the fact that this
section has been under the personal
observation OF Bob Quinn in connec-
tion with his regular duties and to his
penchant for picking Il diamond in the
rough and his patience in watching
such prospects until they develop.
Knows Warfare.
Quinn is familiar with all the meth.
ods employed in baseball warfare,
and in fact, was one of the prime NOV.
ers in the formation of the National
Association of Minor leagues when tho
late war between the American and
National leagues produced q: state Of
chaos in the baseball world.
While 1t is not known with whom
Quinn will be associated in handling
the Yankees the offer indicates that
the, control of the Yankees on the field
next season will be in the hands of
Jack Hendrix. manager OF the In
dianapOliS association team; Bill Dom
ovan, manager of the Providence In
ternational league team, or Jack Dunn
who was part owner and manager Of
tho Baltimore team Of the Interna-
tional league last season. With all Of
these men Quinn has been we'll &C.
quainted in previous years, as oppon.
ents rather than as associates.
One Of the chief causes for the fail.
urc of the New York Yankees to cut
any figure in the American league race
for the last few seasons was ascribed
by Frank Chance to the incompetence
of Arthur Irwin, business manager and
scout under the Farrell-Devery re-
ginle which is passing. and the former
Cub manager confided to friends of
his ability to separate Irwin from the
job was one of the compelling reasons
for his own resignation of the man.
agcmcnt OF the New York team.
The addition OF Quinn to the Rup-
pert-Iuston forces will, it is believed
here, rebound TO the credit of the
American league and produce a va
cancy in the ranks of the minor
leagues which cannot be filled.

Columbus American association team.
who Is spending the holidays with

present in the shape of an offer of the
business management of the New

indirectly from Colonel Jacob Rup-

In addition to q keen business sense
which has enabled him to convert
many a prospective deficit into near

that he is an excellent Judge of ball

for the fans to dope our coming
match as a fast. clever exhibition. But
those who expect to see ten rounds

LARRY OBJECTS 10 BONUS.
Catcher Mclean Gricved That Nc
Graw Offers Inducements for
GOO6 RehaviOr


Larry Mclean has not signed a
contract with the Giants for next
year yet, and all because the docu-
ment offered to him contains A
clause stipulating Il bonus for good
conduct. The salary is perfectly sat
is factory to Larry. but he hasn't the
slightest doubt in the world that he
will win the bonus.
The trouble is that the idea Of any
restraint ON his conduct harrows his
feelings. Mclean insists his conduct
has been SO exemplary since joining
the New York club that his behavior
should not longer be a matter of
doubt.
IT'S not the money 20 much" said
Larry yesterday, "it's the idea of the
thing. Now. If they should. give me
so much for every base hit or stolen
base, well and good: but a bonus for
behavior-jamals, jamals. as We used
