There's going to be a busy meeting OF
National League magnates here next
Tuesday, but they'll have to make quite
a fuss to out-noise the managers. II the
latter are not all bluffing, there ought to
be enough fan food manufactured
through the medium of trades and sales
to keep the writer fellows busy for
months.
Fred Clarke, Of the Pirates, is report
ed as having announced that he will 60

ing broken up what everyone thought
was a pennant hope machine by one lit
tie trade, Clarke viii try to put Humpty-
Dumpty back on the wall again with
several contemplated trades next week.
George Stallings, Of Boston, while de-
claring he won't let any good things slip
by him, Is the envied of the envied. He
is in the position of the dealer who
doesn't need any cards.
Next to Fred Clarke, Charley Herzog,
OF the Reds; Roger Bresnahan, the Cubs
new leader, and Manager McGraw, of the
Giants, expect TO be as busy as the pro
verbal bee All three are admittedly
and openly cunning for bear. Bresna-
han has cast looks Of longing toward
Eddie Grant. McGraw would, or at
least ought to. be willing to give one
arm and the toe of one foot for Zim-
norman. Herzog needs pitchers so bad
he has threatened to hire San Francisco
shanghaiers TO kidnap several for him,
And there is Miller Higgins who, re-
ports say, has been given orders by
Schuyler Britton, owner Of the Cards, TO
get good shortstop if it costs a law
suit Pat Moran could use several Wal

TO have his eye on several with very lit
tie visible stuff, however, to trade for

ises TO be a replica of an ante-bellum

number there are but few who can
come under the head of even good

five. From a percentage standpoint

margin, having ridden % winners out

centage of 40. His nearest opponent
is Notter, with a percentage of 81.

who has a percentage of 20 out of a
