spoke as follows:
"If these gentlemen intend do

with me they better get q move

they won't get Pennock and I'm
not saying they win. am saying
that up to now they won't give

The time also draws near for a

Possibly Collins win not be r0ped

early next month. Before that

William Widowed, chairman of
the State baseball commission, an
nounces that the Phillies will not
be permitted to meet the Giants in
q series at the Polo Grounds on &C
count of a difference in weight.
"The PhiIIies are the Iightest
team in either league and in the
chairman's opinion would have
absolutely no chance with the
Giants. It is ordered that the
PhilIies get q reputation by beat
ing some college teams.
Miller Higgins, manager Of the
Yankees, has been ordered to pro-
duce a capable substitute for Ike
Whoozis before the Yankees will
be permitted to play their Inn

Tigers. The substitutes contract
must be submitted to the chair
man and If it Is found that the
New York club is grabbing more
than II Id per cent of what he
draws at the. gate the Yankees Will
be suspended Indefinitely.
