At least twice this season inti--
mate friends Of his have gone to
him, asking him to resign. They
have been met with absolute re-
fusals. Only recently one of his
friends went to him on this sub
ject and Sisler replied, 81 am not
going to resign and, further than
that, il am fired, I am not going
TO play another game for the st.
Louis Club. Tell that to Ball. q
Ball, it is understood here, had
always admired Sisler ais a man
and as player. So far as known
he has not had conference with
his manager, but he did deny last
Saturday that he had any inten-
tons of selling his club. This was
but one of the many rumors rae
ing around this mans town.
Ball intends holding the reins
over his club. He has already in
stitufed plans seeking to
strengthen the discipline among
the players. He is now said to
be planning on Sisters success
sOr as manager Of the team.
Among the many ruInOrs current
here is one having Roger Peck
inpatIgh coming to succeed Sis
Ter, the Washington Club offer
ing Joe Judge. Goose Goslin and
a pitcher to land the great first
baseman. There is no verified
ton for this story and Peck
himself says he knows nothing
about it.
The most persistent runor, one
that has been going the rounds for
couple OF months, has George
Moriarty, the umpire, becoming
manager OF the Browns. SisIer is
out, and his declaration that he will.
loses his managerial berth has no
connection with the Moriarty rumor.
re Moriarty is named leader OF the
Browns Sisler win simply be traded
to the highest bidder, the ST. Louis
club demanding players, not money.
The club making the best offer
will land SIsler.
The Washington club, ii Is be-
lieved, has an excellent chance
Of landing Sisler, because it has .
first sacker of class to offer.
.JIaying here regularly, Judge
would become q hone-run hitter
Of parts, the short right field
stand being bniIt to his order.
OF course, the Browns would
want more than merely Judge, and
the so-called wiseacres here have
both Peckingpaugh and Goslin COM
ing to st. Louis in the deal. From
a Washington angle, Peck might
fit into the picture. but 1t IS diff
cult to see how Goslin could be let
go without his successor being in
line and, right now, his successor
Is not in sight.
There is new rumor every day.
but it is not mere idle gossip that
George Sisler is through rs man
ager OF the Browns. 1t is even
possible that he may be superseded
before this campaign ends.

Odd Floor Covering !,
Made From Hide of
Isl Vicuna.

Vicuna skins, 257 of them. made
into an immense rug that is bcauti-
full enough to grace the shoulders of
a reigning movie queen.
This unusual rug is owned by
Willis L. Copeland, who is stopping
at the st. Anthony hotel.
In telling the history of the rug,
Mr.. Copeland said that the Vicuna
is species of deer that lives in
South America. The Quichuas In
dams of that country killed the
Vicuna, and their squaws used the
breast skin from PSI of the animals
to make the rug. AS the rug ap-
pears today it is very hard to tell
that it is not one large skin.
A great deal Of time was required
by the squaws to cure the skins and
sew them together, Mr.. Copeland says.
The rug, before being lined, weighed
three and one-half pounds.
Mr.. Copeland was formerly con-
ductor on the Cerro de Pasco rail-
road that runs through Peru, and it
was while serving in this capacity
that he acquired the rug.
He has been offered as much as
$500 for it but says that he would
not sell the rug Mt any price. The
only other rug of its kind is owned
by ]. p. Morgan, the New York capt.
talist, according to Mr.. Copeland.
