ONLY MINOR DETAILS
BLOCK SALE Of CLUB
Owners and Bidders for New York
Yankees May Get To-
gether Today.

NEW YORK. December IA few
insignificant details which are likely
to be arranged satisfactorily within a
day or two block the proposed sale of
the New York American League club
to Col. Jacob Rupert, jr.. and Capt.
Tillinghast Huston. The captain ad-
mitted yesterday that the deal was as
good as closed.
Il do not believe" said he. that any
official announcement of the transfer
will be made until Col. Rupert re-
turns to this city within the next few
days, but our original proposition has
met with favor. and if no unforeseen
difficulties arise the transaction is sure
to be completed by that time
Capt. Huston said that while Messrs.
Farrell and Devery We're unwilling to
lecede from their original price of
100000. and his interests swere as
stubborn about raising the first bid of
100000, the American League was pre-
pared to foot the difference to straight
ell out the local snarl. The proposition
had resolved itself yesterday afternoon
into a case of settling ground privi-
leges Harry NJ stevens, the caterer,
took out a lease last spring for these
privileges for term of ten years.
Mr.. Rupert, it is understood, wishes
to do the~catering. 1t was stated I'M
had been effected whereby Mr.. stew
ems lease would be honored by the
prospective purchasers, and thus the
last obstacle to the sale had been re-
moved.
Situation the Same.
Ban johnson, however. insisted at
midnight that there was no change
in the situation. Matters are right
where they stood this morning" said
the president of the American League.
However, there seems a better dispo-
stion on both sides to get together.
and I shouldenot be surprised if these
differences are adjusted very shortly.
have decided to remain in New York
tomorrow. and am hopeful that when
I leave for Chicago tomorrow night
the interested parties will have reached
a definite and final agreement"
Mr.. johnson intimated very strongly
that only the finishing touches of his
work remained. 1t was learned from
friends of Rupert and Huston that
the big car has guaranteed to pro-
tect the prospective purchasers in the
visits to Connie Mack and Joe Lannin
are said to have resulted in assurances
of deals whereby the New Yorks will
be greatly fortified for next years
struggle. 1t also is understood that
johnson will deliver a manager who
will meet the requirements of metro
politan tastes.
According to gossip. Harry Sparrow
who acted as business manager OF the
world tour of the Giants and White
ness management of the club for the
new owners. 1t is not known yet
whether either the colonel or captain
will serve in an executive capacity.

special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch TO Ine St4r.
NEW YORK, December IA story
was circulated yesterday that Eddie
Collins. the star second baseman of
the Athletics, sold Tuesday to the Chi
caso White Sox for a sum reputed to
be $4,000. figured in three-cornered
deal which would ultimately bring him
to the New York club as manager. 1t
was said that the local club would
give up Pitcher Ray Caldwell. Second
Baseman Lutte Boone and Third Base
man Fritz Maisel for the sensational
second sacker. Ban Johnson spiked
his tale as a fabrication.
Il had hoped to place Collins in New
York, said Ban. but circumstances
over which ] had no control dictated
otherwise. Charlie Comiskey's purchase
Of Collins was bona fide. He made 1t
with absolutely no consideration of
New York's interests. OF course, New
York or any other club could now go
into the market for Collins services,
but j do not for a moment believe
Comiskey has any intention of parting
with his hard won phenom"

Evers' Illness Exaggerated.

NEW YORK, December. 1.-THE ILL
ness of Johnnie Evers of the World
champion Braves has been greatly ex-
aggerated. according to George STALL
ings. who has kept in constant touch
with his star captain. "Evers is not
suffering from pneumonia" said the
Big Chief. yesterday afternoon. He
has a very bad cold. which has re-
sponded to treatment. He will be able
to go back to Troy By Sunday. He
might have developed a serious ill
ness but for prompt medical atten-
ton"

There is little chance that the rule
forbidding the withdrawal of waivers
will be passed when the National
League goes into session In February.
Several of the owners are still in favor
Of it, but even these men are Begin
ming to weaken under the united opin-
ion OF the managers. No manager
wants any such rule, for it means al
most the end of the practice of farm

soning- Anybody who tried to slip a
star out of the league under the new
ARRANGEMENT would run grave risk
of losing him.

But with new manager in charge the
Phillies could not retain Doom to ad-
vantage, While Magee has been long
ing for a change of clubs for several
years. These players will fit in nicely
on McGraw-s team and may plug up
the holes which caused it to fail in the
last pennant race.
In the event of the New York Yam
KEGS changing hands, it is understood
that several deals will be made to give
that team considerable additional
strength. Both the Philadelphia and
Boston clubs are to give the Yankees
assistance, according to Ban Johnson,
and a special effort is To be made TO
make the team a contender in the race
With a winner in New York the Amer
,ican League will be better fortified
than ever before. The fact that the
Giants have been successful for many
years has been the greatest help to
the National League, for with Nc
Graw's team up in the race every team

Herzog failed to set the world aflre as
a manager last season that he would
be particularly anxious to succeed
himself and get another chance.
HerZog, however, was under the i'm
preston that he was entitled to an in
crease i'll salary. The Cincinnati club
had paid him $4,000 for his first year
and wanted to renew his agreement at
the same figure. But Herzog baked at
this and insisted that he be paid sl2 800
for three years. The directors of the
club, however, did not make this con-
cession, and told Herzog that he would
have to sign for the old figure or stay

EASY FOR HOWARD.
University Team Defeats Armstrong
in Fast Basket Ball Game, 26 to 10.

Howard University basket ball team
defeated the team representing the
Armstrong Manual Training School in
the gymnasium of the high school by
a score of &c to 10. During the first
half things were made interesting for
the university quint. but later the
speed eff the schoolboy was of no
avail against the weight and expert
enee of the Folder players. The score
was against the Howard boys for
ma ior part of the first half, due in
big degree to the fact they could not
make their shots count in a great
many tries.
Both teams tried out their entire
squads, as the intent of the game was
largely to afford practice to each.
Howard is soon to play the st. Christie
pher team in New York-an eleven that
won the championship among colored
teams last year-and Armstrong is
booked to play Hampton's team at the
Hampton Institute this month.

The Bennington Banner says it is pos
sible that the name of Fred c. Martin
of Bennington viii be presented to the
Democratic state convention this week as
a candidate for governor. Some of his
friends are urging him to permit the use
of his name. 1t has been generally ex-
pected that either Harland B. Howe of
st. Johnsbmy or Charles d. Watson of
st Adams would be the candidate, but
each of them has before headed the ticket
and a good many feel that it would be
better to take a new man who represents
the younger element of the party Mr.
Howe has made a positive statement that
ne is not a candidate for any office. Mr..
Martin represented Bennington at the last
session of the legislature and was one of
the delegates from Vermont to the Balti-
more convention in 1912.

in the face.

The reopening Of the railroad-rate
hearing by the inte' state commerce
commission is doubtless a result Of the
recent conference of railway managers
with President Wilson. While an ear
lier date than Oct. 10 might we'll have
been set, the decision to renew con-
sideration of the needs of the roads
shows a disposition to deal justly with
them. The war has disarranged all
business. 1t is, perhaps, the most i'm
portaut factor in decreasing the gov
eminent 5 revenues by the enormous
sum of $100,0OO,00O, which must be
made up by war taxation. 1t has hit
the railroads hard; and they were hav-
ing their difficulties before. Fmer-
gency increases in rates, like war tax
alton, may be removed when the need
has passed. If for the time being
shippers are asked 10 pay slightly
higher rates, it win be only another
burden imposed upon us by the mad
