BY HAROLD Y. WILCOX.

III the reports from Chicago are
true, Frank j. Navin has proven him
self one of the foxiest baseball mag,
mates in captivity. Ban Johnson an
nounces that the Yankees have been
sold to Col Rupert and Capt. Hus-
ton, of New York, the deal having
been closed late yesterday. The name
of the manager-elect has not been
announced, but il is rumored that
Hughey Jennings is not the man, and
that Bill Donovan, former Tiger and
later pennant-winning manager at
Providence, is the man.
That means that Mr.. Navin has sue.
ceeded not only in resisting the pow
erful pressure which was brought to
bear upon him to allow Jennings TO
90 TO New York, but that he has ar
gued Col. Rupert out of the Jennings
notion and secured his consent to the
signing of one OF Nayin's proteges. AT
time when so much depended upon

was SO insistent upon Jennings, Ma

Turkeys Plans,

Turkey, it is argued in London
will endeavor to accomplish
three things:
First. the invasion of Egypt.
Second, the blockading of the
Suez Cannal, and the third, the
stirring up of a holy war among
the 10000, 600 Mohammedans in
India as well as among these
re!igionists in Egypt. 1t is this
which England and her allies
regard with the most concern
although nothing has developed
so far to indicate that the Mo-
hammadans have been convin-
ced, in any large body anywhere,
that their religion is involved.
As to the Turkish army,
formidable as it is in size, the
opinion is expressed here that it
will not be an efficient fighting
machine under modern condi-
tons which require the latest
type of arms.
Concerning the campaign in
Egypt, England feels that in
Lord Kitchner she has just the
man to meet the situation, for
no European general has a better
knowledge of the country thar
he. If the reports that the Tur
kish invasion of Egypt is wei
under way are true, picturesque
forces mounted on camels anC
horses probably have alread,
crossed the frontier. Further
more, two Turkish army corp
are said to be moving in the di
rection of the frontier.
