RICHMOND CLUB TO BALTIMORE
Jannin Sells Providence Team and
Buys Minority Stock in the Buff
faIO Association.

New York, Jan. pa tentative re-
organization of the International Base
ball league circuit was accomplished
yesterday, but Newark was left out in
the cold for the present. Newark may
get place in the circuit later, but the
old Newark franchise, which was
transferred last season to Harrisburg,
has been shifted to Richmond, Va,
and if Newark is represented next sea-
son the Jersey City club will be trans
ferred to that city.
The Richmond club has been sent
back to Baltimore and will be man

league situation in Baltimore and
Buffalo was not discussed.
Lannin Buys and Sells.
The Providence club was sold by
Joseph J. Lannin, who also owns the
Boston Red Sox, to William H. Dra-
per, Providence business man who
owned the club several years ago, for
$4,000. Mr.. Lannin, it was announced,
has bought all the minority stock in
the Buffalo club. Last season Mr.
Lannin Endorsed a number of notes for
the Bisons and was of much assist
ance to them financially, when they
were hard pressed by the Federal
league invasion.
In relation to the claim of Charles
H. Ebbets, owner of the Brooklyn
club, to the national commission
against the league for $4,000 for
money loaned to the old Newark
club, President Barrow read a letter
in which he pointed out that there
was no Newark franchise, as it had
been declared forfeited after the
stockholders had failed to live up to
their obligations.

cage National Camp.
BRESNAHAN DEAL STILL DARK
Weeghman COnfers With Deposed Cub
Manager. But No Deal Is An.
nounced-RusselI Signs

Chicago, Jan. %. - House-cleaning
along wholesale lines is scheduled this
week at Cub headquarters. Eleven
former Bruins and Whales already
have wended their several and respect
i've ways to other fields of endeavor,
and, according to plans outlined by
Manager Tinker, 10 more will be
shipped hence before Saturday. At
least five of the undesirables-three Of
them pitchers-will go to other Ma
tional league teams.
Secrecy surrounds the identities of
the players listed to draw the gate, but
the fact that several pilots in the par
ent circuit have besieged Tinker with
offers for the hurlers in question is an
indication that they are regarded by
Joe's competitors as still able to de-
liver A number Of minor league mag
mates have agreed to take over five
other athletes.
Clean Up Fed Affairs.
Weeghman was busy yesterday, con-
ferring in the morning with Roger

Ogden Armour, in California, the Cub
executive does not expect to hold the

Bresnahan The latter declared he
wanted nothing more than an even

plans to assume the management and
part ownership of the Toledo A. A.
club This franchise (now known as
the Cleveland Spiders1 is in the hands
of the bankers who have charge Of
Charlie Somers' affairs, and the price
