FODDER FOR FANS

The loss of Harry Chapman will be a
severe blow to the Crackers chances for
the 1914 pennant. Billy Smith will have
to find a good man to help out Joe
Dunn. the old reliable, who is getting
well along in years.
Harry will cast his lot with Mordecai
Browns st. Louis Federals next season
and local fans will keep a close watch
on his work. Chapman reminds one Of
Jimmy Archer's days when the latter
did the backstopping for Billy Smiths
boys.
President Gilmore, OF the Federals,
yesterday received a "black hand" let
ter which threatened OF blow up the
proposed North Side ball park In Chi
cago and do him bodily injury II he
didn't step down from his throne. He
left for Toronto shortly after receiving
the letter.
The consensus of critic opinion seems
to be that Charley Herzog will fail as
the Cincinnati teams manager, because
he lacks experience. Strangely. every
body thought that Tinker would succeed
last season for the same reason-and yet
both Tinker and Herzog graduated from
great pennant winning teams.
According to Plttsburg report, Sher
wood Magee, of the Phillies. made his
appearance before the Buffalo club OF
the outlaw organization and begged for
a chance to sign up. His services were
refused, it Is said, because his name
was not on the eligible list.

to-day Is the proud father of twins. a
robust boy and vigorous girl.

From New York comes the word that
Tim Jordan, once with Brooklyn, will
likely sign with the Federals. Mordecai
Brown has been dickering with him.
Brown believes he can land George Ty-
Ter. of the Braves.
Arthur Thomson, outielder on the
Omaha team, to-day declined the offer
made him by the Federal League.
Johnny Dobbs, of the New Orleans
outfit, wants the nickname of the Peli-
cans changed. Probably Johnny thinks
there are too many pelicans around
Louisiana is known as the Pelican State,
while the State sea- Is made up OF a
pelican and her young.
Billy Purtell, who has had several
trials in the majors, will make another
attempt to break in as a regular with
the Tigers. Purtell last year did well in
the international. His signed contract
has been received by Owner Navin.

the price of tobacco in the beginning,
after which, if things became really
acute, he would jump up and down

some of the most decorative language
it ever has been our privilege to
listen to.
But the thing is, Billy is doing
something He isn't sulking. And
right now he is stirring round, rust
ling up the leaves and framing up
plans to have a full force of Crack
ers on deck when the whistle blows.
We will take pleasure in ennounc-
ing from time to time the progress
made toward that end Right now.
we can no more than hint that there
are certain potential Crackers, hold
