campaign, because he was not able to
give the club his best service. The in
Jury to his knee as the result of an au-
tomobile accident put him out of the
running. and it is believed that he has
come to the conclusion that he must
get down to real business before he
can hope to have any sort of a chance
to remain in fast company.
A couple of years ago Morgan was
most promising young player. He gave
evidence Of making a star of the first
water. but inattention to business got
him in bad and 1T is now question if
he viii ever get himself in good enough
shape to be able to do himself justice.
But Griffith may be forced to take a
chance with Morgan. and if the player
rounds into form, all well and good.
1t would not be at all surprising if
Howard Shanks should become the
regular third baseman for the Nation
cannot solve the second base problem
any other way than by placing Eddie
Foster in that position, Shanks is the
only man available for third base. He
played the position splendidly most of
the time last season and during the
early months of the year hit we'll
enough to warrant his being on the
bag.
Shanks, of course. is most valuable
man. because he has few equals as an
outhelder. and though not as consistent
a hitter as he might be. he goes well
during the early part of the season.
If Chic Gandi1 is not sold or traded
ne VIII not be released, as he is too
valuable a player for that. But Grif-
nth Is determined to play Judge, and
Gandil would then be on the bench, for
there Is no other position than first that
he could play, not being fast enough
to go to the outfield, though he is one
of the best hitters on the team.
The chances are that one of the clubs
in the American League which Is in
need of first baseman will sooner or
later make Griffith an offer and then
some sort of a trade will be made. This
also is probably true of Boehiing and
Ainsmith. both Of whom may be of
more value to some other club than
they would prove to the Griffmen.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, January Is
Harry F. Sinclair of. the Federal
League is out OF the market for
the New York Giants. He says
so himself; Fighting i'm Gilmore
saws so. But if further corrobora-
ton were needed it should be
sought no further than in the fact
that Sinclair sold Lee Magee to
the New York American League
cab.
Sinclair is out of base ball for
good, so far as the promotion of
the. game is concerned. He will
wind up his interest in the sport
as magnate, at least-so soon
as he disposes of Benny Kauff,
Tom Seaton and the other chat
tells of diamond renown that the
Dust of the independent circuit
left on his hands. The Oklahoma
oil king now is prepared to close
out his association with the dia-
mond sport by selling the play
ers he controls to the highest bid
ders.
Henceforth SincIair's interests in
base ball will be indirect. He has as
sured his friends of the lost cause that
he will stand behind them if they have
opportunities to place themselves under
the protection of the once more happy
family which pays obeisance to the ma
tional commission. Sinclair still is be-
hind Pat Powers. who steered him into

Will back Gilmore, if Fighting Jim can
dig up a major league franchise at
reasonable figure. But Sinclair, per-
sonally. desires to be nothing but a big
toad in a big puddle. No little puddle
for him.

PLAYERS NOT TO SUFFER

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, January 15.-Now that
peace reigns in base ball, story has
been going around that the magnates
in the two major leagues will seek to
take advantage of their players, and
nip off a few dollars from their sala-
ries. That the major league owners
have never entertained such an idea
was the declaration of Carry Herr
mann, president of the Reds. and chair
man of the nationSl base ball commits
sion.
There is absolutely no disposition on
the part of any major league manage
ment to take advantage of the peace
pact and the fact that disgruntled ath-
letes now have no Federal League to
flop to. The clubs are all trying to be
strictly fair and to give all athletes
just and generous salaries. There are
many cases. of course, where men are
receiving salaries that are double what
they are worth. and these. of course,
will have to be diminished.
Toney Wants Still More.
Regarding our own Fred Toney. Sec
ond only to Alexander in the National
League last year. we nave done what
we considered the fair and generous
thing by him in the contract we have
offered him for next season. But he
continues to hold out for more money.
His increase in salary amounts to
$1,000. and when it is considered that
Manager Herzog rescued him from the
minors and gave him his last chance at
a big league berth we think that is
fair increase. We realize that he is a
great pitcher and twirled fine ball for
us last season. but regard the boost of
a thousand dollars as enough. How
ever. he asks for much more, but prob
ably will be amenable to reason
shortly
The Cincinnati team has been obliged
to change its training quarters at all
most the last moment. All arrange
ments had been made to train at Alex
andria. La. where the team got into
condition last year. But word was re-
ceived that the training camp had been
done away with. Arrangements have
just been completed for the Reds to

Had Many Opportunities.

Sinclair, might have had, at reason
able terms, any one of q number of
major league franchises. He could
have bought the Braves for less than
Percy Haughton and his associates
paid. Better than that, he could have
purchased an interest in the former
world champions with James f. Gaf-
neg and Robert II. Davis. Sinclair
might have had the Cubs. but he step
ped aside for Charles weeghman, a
man very popular in the Windy city.
The oil man had an opportunity to
purchase the Browns: he turned down a
good bargain for the. Cincinnati Reds,
and turned deaf ear when the Cleve-
land Americans were practically thrust
al him. With Sinclair il was New
York or nothing.

to buy into New York fame both with
the Giants and with the Yankees. Until
a few days ago for many weeks a deal

hung tre- 1t was finally passed up as
hopeless by him. when President Harry

from his original valuation of the club
stock. His negotiations for the Yam

fused the proposition of accepting him
as an equal copartner. nor would either
sell his personal interest in the club.

said James A. Gilmore this afternoon,
cor at least will be through when he
has disposed of those players to whom
he has title I may assure you posi-
lively that the Giant deal is 4 dead
letter with him. He considered the
club seriously only while he was in
a position to make 1t a sure pennant
