business. Dunn is game in every
way-much gamer than most of the
other magnates in the league.
C
Talking about gamesters, there are
quite few of them in the Interna-
tional League. Jack Dunn was the
poor man in the league, and he
couldn't stand much pressure. Tom
Fogarty, of Jersey City, isn't very
we'll fixed, either, but he is still keep
| ing store at the old stand. Fogarty,
! of course, isn't losing all the money
| that is going to the winds in Jersey
City, but success would have meant
a fortune for him, in that he Is a
young man, and is being literally
backed by one of the greatest old fell
lows in the country Montreal has al
ways been loser, so Sammy Lichten-
helm, the owner, never makes a COM
plant. 1t is his delight to blow about
loss of about $4,000 after every sea-
son, and then buy champagne on the
head of it. Charley Chaplin, of Roch-
ester, stood up as long as he thought
it was consistent with good business
judgment and then he allowed a whole
raft of players to go. Chaplin is a
rich man and a good sport, but he is
a business man first of all and he
couldn't see the idea of throwing
away money with small prospects OF
getting it back.

With the Boston Club back of it,
Providence is sticking to the ship,
and really spending money to win the
pennant. The team is drawing we'll,
and it is the best paying team in the
league. Toronto is not doing so
poorly. but it is said that President
McCaffery has an eye on a Federal
League berth next season. McCaffery
isn't even well off, and he would not
be able to stand much of loss He
hasn't made a holler so far, and he
is going along on pretty fair lines.
The Buffalo owners wouldn't take
much of a beating, and I understand
that they are very we'll protected.
Assistance came to them at time
when they threatened 10 quit, it Is
said, and the Buffalo men back Of
the club are not losing a cent,
although money Is being lost.

Brooklyn is back of Newark, and
j the owners have neither quit nor re-
manned firm. They have announced
/ a policy of taking the best we have
over here and using them to advan-
tage on the Brooklyn team. They
/ have been open and aboveboard in
+ their declarations and they have not
complained about their treatment
here. Conditions have made rash
moves almost imperative. Under
other circumstances, Brooklyn would
probably not have taken our players
away, and as far as we can see the
men haven't done the Superbas much
