It was a close contest with both pitchers doing splendid work but the team support was poor and those fast features that were became ob- scured by the predominance of errors, principally on the side of the Millers.
 The Millers were first to bat and after Kelliher and Van were down Whelan sent a hot drive to Hall which was really too warm to handle and he arrived safely. Galloway followed with a long fly oyer right field fence for four sacks, bringing Whelan in ahead of him.

PITTSBURGH, January Bobby
Quinn, who has been connected with
the Columbus American Association
club for several years, is to become
business manager of the New York
Americans. This position has been
rendered the popular Columbus man by
Col. Jacob Rupert, the new owner of
the Highlanders, and has been accepted
by Quinn.
On his return from New York a few
days ago, where he had gone in re-
sponse to a telegram from President
Ban johnson, urging him to come on
and meet Col. Rupert, Quinn stopped
over here to see his old friend Ray
Miller, the crack first baseman Of the
Columbus team. 1t was during this
visit that the news of Quinns new af-
flliations came out.
Neither Col. Rupert nor his associ-
ates in the Yankee deal have had any
base ball experience, and one of his
stipulations in the purchase was that
an experienced man in the business
end of the game be furnished the new
owners. This Johnson did by obtaining
Quinn's signature to a contract calling
, for $4,000 more 4 year than he is now
receiving from the Columbus team.
While Quinn was visiting with Miller
here arrangements were practically
completed for the transfer of the first
sacker to the New York team. Miller
admitted tonight that Quinn had
broached the subject to him. and that
he was perfectly willing to go to the
Highlanders if the transfer can be
brought about. This, it Is understood,
has already been provided for.

Robert B. Ward of the Brooklyn Fed

made public some If the details of the
fruitless psace negotiations with or

First peace overtures, he said, came
from Mike" Cantillon, owner of the

Federal teams in the west to enter the
American Association, and those in
the east to merge with the Internation-

This suggestion was instantly turned
down by the Federals, Ward said. and
Cantillon then brought into conference

several times in Chicago. Charles

were made to him to buy the New YORK

that line was widely circulated by or

minor leagues quiet at the annual
meeting of the National Association OF

REGARDING the attempt to arrange a
