: The casualties among the rumors
were distressing. The dear departed
dead ones were stacked up in neat
rows, and the badly wounded were
tossed OF into neglected corner
where they are lucky to receive medi-
cal attention before Doc Woods opens
up his surgical chest at the next train
ing camp. First and foremost, the
Yankee club has not been sold to John
Ringing, and will not be sold to John
Ringing As one of the Old Guard
remarked, "Just because some of the
boys played like dumb beasts is no
reason for Ringing to think that the
Colonels had circus to SELL"

No Waivers On Colonels
Mike Kelly is fine, tall fellow, and
will probably manage ball team next
year, but not the Yankees. In spite
Of the fact that the Bambino batted
.119 in the late-lamented series, work
on the new Yankee bali park is still
going ahead. Colonel Rupert has not
asked waivers on Colonel Huston, or
vice versa. "Nip" McManus will
positively not play third base for the
Hugmen next year. though he has re-
quested the privilege Of being at the
opening game, where he wants to
throw out,the first umpire.
That about disposes of the rumor
question. The tuntult and the shout
ing Of the series has died, and the
captains and coaches have departed.
There was no sign of life around the
Giant headquarters. John j. McGraw
took day off at his Pelham residence,
picking out an appropriate show place
for his triple deeked worlds series
crown. A few of the champions were
in and out of the Office on such minor
errands as drawing down the salary
check. The big cut of the worlds
series will be mailed to the Giant play
ers from Chicago when Judge Lands
has had time to go over the "divvy"
voted by the players and give it his
stamp of approval.
This recalls the fact that the only
home run of the day was credited to
kenesaw Mountain Lands. The Com
missioner ran home to Chicago on the
twentieth Century. He was burdened
down with eighteen bundles of official
data on the recent fraternal strife be-
tween the New York boys. His one
regret was that he had been too busy
to get in his usual rounds of golf. All
his enthusiasm for the royal and
ancient game has been bottled up for
a week, and some Chicagos1inks is dne
for terrible beating in the next few
days.
