IWNER PERRY's answer to the

OWNER PERRY'S answer to the
" Sporting News announcement
was that he had not discussed the
Hendricks subject and no other
definite plans for 1888 other than
spring training. Perry, Hendricks
and Killefer we're together at the
world series games in New York. On
the subject of spring training.
President Perry, as we'll as Manager
K1llefer, are endeavoring to- cut
down expenses and are investigating
a proposition to establish the 1888
camp at French Lick Springs for
couple of weeks and then finish
out the training here at the
stadium. All clubs face a curtail-
ment of expenses. American Asso-
citation headquarters today an
nounced that only two teams earned
a profit the past season, Columbus
and Minneapolis, with Indianapolis
breaking even. The five other clubs
were hit hard financially.
n
DdSeDdu ODSeTNeTS SUN are discussing the
busting of the popular Walter Johnson as
manager at Washington and many scribes
assert Clark Griffith, Senator president,
will do most of the managing. leaving Joe
CrOnin manager in name only. Former
Senator pilots say Griffith is champion
second guesser and pest for handing
out advice. The guess is that Cronin will
have to listen to his prexx, or be added
to the long list of Washin gions exploits
Being only 26 years old, the star short
stop probably will give attentive ear to
Griffith, which explains, perhaps, the
young mans promotion by foxy Clark.
Moreover, Griffith is famous for squeezing
dollars and the appointment of player
pilot is another of his means toward shaw
ing the pay roll.
DIVINE (Donie) Bush, who is
" one of the ex-managers of
Washington, broke into the edito-
rial page columns of the Min
neapolis Star the other day, which
is a real tribute to the peppery Hoo
Sier. Here is the article:
DOME WILL BE MISSED
The Minneapolis baseball season has
ended a couple of sour notes After
climbing the heights to an American
Association pennant the local team, as
sisted by the boys from Newark and a
couple of Miller pitchers who couldn't
stand prosperity, fell down and skinned
its knuckIes
Then Bush leaves town with the part
ing word that he probably will not be
back. That is bad news for Minneapolis
baseball fans. His generalship and
enthusiasm made pennant winner out
of what looked like mediocre bali team
and re-awakened baseball interest here.

THE rumor is out that the local
4 American Legion posts will not
conduct boxing shows this fall and
winter and have passed up priority
to lease the armory. FIT. Harrison
gave up boxing at the end of the
1881 summer season. The state box
ing tax, plus certain other fees, plus
the new federal amusement tax
form heavy load for weekly pro-
motions of f1rSt-rate caliber during
depression years. Fistic cards over
the state have been so few and far
between that some commission of
f1cials are reported carrying the
torch looking for the ghost to walk

You never can tell what small boys will
do and Yale university is ready to lift the
word gratitude" out of the dictionary
and toss it into the ash can. Yale opened
its heart Oct. and gave a free gate to
1000 small boys of New Haven at the
feature intersectionaI grid game with. Chi
csgo. Thereupon the lads expressed their
thanks in reverse order by cheering for
the visiting team and giving an assortment
of booes for Yale.
