Possibilities that Jennings may
come here loom strong. Jennings,
it is understood, has named $4,000
as his price for directing the Bison
team. AS he is receiving $500 for
coaching the New York team, indi-
cations are that a compromise as
to the salary may be effected.
Robertson, who announced the
resignation Of Manager Wntse from
Reading, Pa, last week, accom-
panied the team to Jersey City. He
left the team quietly for New York
city, to discuss terms with Jen-
nings, but no agreement was
reached, as Jennings was very busy
with McGraw, laying plans or de-
Tense and attack before leaving for
the final invasion OF Western clubs
In the National League.
The acquisition Of Jennings
would prove q valuable asset TO
Buffalo. Hughie is widely known
throughout the International
Tigers, Jennings brought his team
on mdny OCCdSIOnS 10 Du1AA1O tOE
exhibition games. With Jennings
rs manager, the Detroit Club has
played against Rochester, Toronto,
Baltimore and Providence, whose
franchise was bought by the SYRIA
cuse Club a number Of years
ago. Jennings is q favOrite among
the older fans of Buffalo, who
wildly recall when he was coach
ing Saint BonaVenture College
team at Allegheny.
With Jennings, the prestige OF the
Buffalo club would be regained.
The Buffalo club has suffered Ii.
nancialiy this season to a great
degree. At the opening Of the sea.
soon, rain proved to be the worst
enemy. The recent disastrous trip
when the Bisons dropped twelve
games in q row was another factor.
The other city in the circuit that
would give Jennings q royal wei.
come is Baltimore-the place where
Hughie played with McGraw and
other famous stars.

Efforts Of Manager Ty Cobb to

The st. Paul club refuses to let

While the presence Of good first

Johnston and Griffin, Hunter and

Johnson, Williams and washburn
Tilden and Wiener, my brother
Howard and the writer make the
strongest favorites for the title.
Snodgrass told me that he would
default the doubles with Wesbrook,
due to overplaying in the last
three weeks. Certainly in his
singles final with Little Bill he did
not exhibit the form of q first
ten man. He not only lacked
Judgment and confidence but also
failed to take advantage Of John
ston's weakening in the third set.
1t does seem strange to make a
statement that the former national
champion was tired in so short an
affair, but 1t must be remembered
that in the doubles on the previous
day seventy four games were played
just completing the match before
darkness.
Johnston still retains all the
shots he ever had and they still
carry the same pace, the only
outstanding comment that 1 make
being Of his inclination to worry

renceS during play. There seems
to be just q slight weakening In
confidence.
But I do not think that Bill
could ever be accused OF overconfi-
dence.
In the doubles match unfortu-
nately I was forced to default in
the fifth set due to the worst set
Of cramps / ever experienced in
tournament play. Both legs were
doubled up and 1t was impossible
to continue.
Johnston. throughout the match,
played remarkably well, volleying
and smashing with great force
and precision. Griffin also was
steady on return Of service. Howard
played splendidly and was instru-
mental In breaking through our
opponent on several occasions.
My volleying was decisive while
lasted but ] failed to put away
number of overheads, which
later cost us points.
