Ran Johnson of the American League

disposed of in the very near future to
Col. Jacob Rupert, jr., of this city.
Friends of the colonel, including Au-
gust Hermann and Julius Flefsch-
mann. have been active in his behalf
for the last month. Mr.. Johnson said
that negotiations were deadlocked Tor
the time. because of a difference OF
oninion as to the value of Mr.. Farrell s
homeless club. but that he hoped for
a settlement of these differences be-
fore the end of the week.
It also was learned last night. though
Mr. Johnson would not admit the fact,
that a new syndicate has entered the
field with "a more favorable offer. The
principal hackers Of this movement are
william Smith and James McGill, heirs
Of Pittsburgh Phil and owners OF the

tion and he can put the full strength

Here is what Haas has to say of Gal

Il don't know what we VIII be abe

sity Saturday night, because we have
not been able to get in the best licks,
several of the regulars being out OF

as if they had been working regularly

and it would not be at all surprising
If by the time the season ended the
youngster would have developed into
a star.
In order to estore old-time interest
and enthusi S.n in the opening game
OF the o.! it is very likely that the
two major Leagues will taboo ante
season city championships between
rival major league teams. 1t IS held
that these games have hurt the in
terest in the opening game Of the sea-
son. In ST. Louis and Philadelphia, for
instance, where the two rival teams
have met every spring previous to the
opening of the season, much harm is
believed to have been done to the in
terest, and when the National League
recommends the cutting out of these
games the American is sure to consent,
for 1t is known that Ban Johnson has
had this in mind for some time.
While nothing is impossible under
present conditions in base ball, it is
not likely that Connie Mack will give
up his holdings in Philadelphia to be-
come the manager of the Yankees, for
the very good reason that it would not
be easy for him to turn his holdings
in the Athletics into cash under the
circumstances. Personally, Mack might
welcome the change, for it would in
crease his revenue, as an enormous
salary would come with the job, and,
Furthermore, he would not have to
shoulder any burdens of investment
That the placing of Mack in New York
would do wonders for the American
League goes without saying. A change
of ownership of that club. and Mack
at it's head. would yield large increased
revenues to all the clubs in the league.
Nor would much harm be done by
Mack leaving the Athletics. a club
which has never been much of a fnan-
cial success.
The acquisition of single player of
such ability as Collins possesses is apt
to make aa pennant winner out of almost
any team. Collins looks to be just the
man the SoX needed to make them
factors in the race. Comiskey has some
good pitchers. but his weakest spot
for years has been at second base. Col
Inns, working with. the sensational
Weaver. will make the keystone part
Of the Sox infield one of the greatest
in the games history, but there will
be some superior to it, unless the posi-
tions at first and third are materially
strengthened over what they have
been.

G0LFlNG HINTS.

GOLFING JACKETS.-Nowt that
the season of the year is at hand
when many golfers prefer to play
in their jackets rather than don
sweaters, it is we'll to suggest
that in the selection of a coat for
play they pick one with plenty of
shoulder room.
A tight coat is a serious handi-
cap to most players accustomed
TO doing their best work under
summer conditions of freedom
and looseness OF clothing. Where
a coat is too tight some players
have a tailor open the seams a
bit at the back and produce the
same result as u specially built
golfing coat.
On the other side of the pond.
where coats are worn practically
at all times of the year. the
players think that they help their
games by holding their shoulders
together and preventing that dip
of the right shoulder so injurious
to the stroke.
