sacKsoN i ears have been expressed by faint hearted fans that Detroit as a re sult of the discovery of available ball grounds In Pittsburg may be passed up by the American league have nt 'tle foundation insofar as they refer to 1903 Detroit will undoubtedly be in danger if next seaboa does not prove a successful one financially but for the present the league has all that It can attend to In swinging the M' A rk Invasion Of all the cities of tne country Pittsburg would present the greatest difficulties to American league Invaders Th town is National tu lutfcore is very naturally true to Drey fuss and 1ns Learn and addition will next season have another high class ball club Dreytuss will retain most of his players thanks to a lit tle bungling of the attempt to dect niate the team That the grounds referred to in dispatches are available and could easily be put into shape for baseball is true Hut 1 the American league has thus far not even taken an option on the land 1 he Pittsburg deal is off until 1901 De troit will stay in for one more sea fon anyway rom one point of view the action of the Kentucky court that refused to allow Corbett and McGovern to baiter each other was a most excellent thing lor those boys They could hardly I have framed up a more prolitable deal had they Iteen responsible for the prosecution and the judicial action On the strength of their coining bout the' rivals are getting all kinds of soft engagements most of them for short bouts with boys who are not espe cially dangerous The only really haz ardous match that either has thus far ventured into is that in which Mc Govern engages to box Yanger which was announced in papers This Is to be a twenty round go be fore the club offering the best Induce ments and will be decided between November 1 and 15 Efforts have been made before to bring these boys to gether but they have never been able to agree on the weight or this con icst they are to do 12(j pounds at 3 which is a concession by Yan ger Benny is matched with Tim Cal la han for Philadelphia on October 22 and the managers of the Quaker City club claim to have McGovern signed to meet the winner This it true conflicts with the bigger match Yan ger can straighten this out by can celling the Philadelphia date A bout with McGovern would be no card should it happen that Callahan beat Benny The rench turf scandal is rapidly increasing in importance and if the Jockey club only allows week or two more to pass before taking any action it seems likely to involve about every American In Paris who is in the habit of visiting the race track So far as can be learned from the meager re ports of the swindling itself the main charge is not that horses were doc tored or that jockeys did strong arm work but that a lot of simple old fashioned bunco business was practic ed in connection with racing though nt thd same time entirely apart from it The principal scheme was for one of the swindlers to let a victim In on a good thing and to offer to the victim the privilege of betting hie money with that of the sharper The horse would lose and the money went into the pocket of the op erator The only way in which jock 'eys could aid in this scheme would be ly pulling horses that had a good chance and as both Henry and Reit'f are in the first flight of riders of the rench turf on percentage of winning mounts it does not appear possible that either can have thrown away many races in which he had a real chance The fjrther the trouble goes the more interesting it becomes It is now said as noted in a dispatch in the turf column that neither of the riders will be affected by the de cision against American turf follow ers which would mean that the rench Jockey club had about decided that all of the swindling was done outside of tho race track Down in St Louis where the matter lias naturally been given very serious attention the impression is that the Btory spread broadcast last week that the American league may buy out its National Dengue rival is an inspired publication originated for the purpose of forcing the National Ix ague to the aid of the Robisons St Louis Na tional is In a bad way owing to the conflict with Hedges' team In St Douis as elsewhere the league that had the players to show naturally got the crowds and this in the run of the season told against the Cardinals though baseball writers of the county seat caliber succeeded for some time in prejudicing the popular mind I against the Browns Tho Messrs Rob ison realizing that this prejudice against the American team still exists Ibelieve that they need but two or three i players for weak places to bring their team up in the race inorder to regain their old prestige Un fortunately for the St Douis team the otherVhibs have nothing to give away If St Douis National can get a first division team it can fight the Ameri can otherwise it will share the trou bles of Boston and Philadelphia next season 'Wire tappers have been getting in on the Covington pool rooms again according to Cincinnati stories On Saturday it is said that the sixth race at Worth was the medium of a fancy bit of work that netted several hund rod dollars and that the closing St Douis races would have been good to the same crowd had not the room that was victimized become suspicious af ter the Worth killing re fusing money that was offered Thus far the trollev wire between Detroit and Ypsilanti lias not been cut The room out thereseems to be entirely overlooked byjf those who wish to make money though those who do not mind

seasonscame into town yesterday and rhe two lengthy and important conferences with President Angus They consde ed a lot ot matters connected with the 1903 programme but the only thing that they on so far as the public is con cerned was to continue a policy of mas terly silence Mercer evading the specific question said last evening) that he has thus far gned no contract other tharr the Instrument that binds him to play ball with Detroit In 1903 Mr Angus om the theory that the pleasures of anticipa tion exceed those of realization slmpiy smiled and advised interviewers' to wait for a few days for the baseball sensation that he is to spring Though neither party officially corrobo rated It there is no question that Mercer will be in charge of the playing department next season It is understood that Mr Angus and Mercer have come tc terms but that certain phases of baseoall politics make it adv sable to delay an nouncement In addition to settling tiis matter Mercer yesterday receved certain Instructions in regard working with Keeler on the trip wert He leaves town carrying a wad of money of the dimen sions of those that vaudeville corned ans playfully describe as large enough choke a He has made arrangements to return as soon as the California season is over arriving here about January 1 He will pass up the Ann Arbor coacnlng postion becaure of of al though the Detroit team will not report before March 20 The time during winch a college coach is needed is just the busiest season for a baseball manager rank Position Whether or not rank Dwyer will connected with the team has not been termined and has some bearing on the delay in announcing new position Dwyer may be placed with another Ameri can League team or may come here again to take a position under Mr Angus It is understood that Business Manager May will not serve again and it is likely that if Dwyer is retained to succeed him tne office will be made with greater scope very similar to that filled by rank Bancroft on old teaan Cincinnati Bancroft takes from the team manager much of the wot It that is handled by managers on many teams leaving the manager free to follow the game itself more closely Dwyer contemplated going Into the cigar business in uetroit tms given up tne idea for the present until his taseoail earlier stated do a lot of work for tne club this fall and Winter in following up pltyeis signed or wanted Mercer will alsi do his share of this work Willie Keeler and Sam Crawford are both on the All National team that is playing west wih the Americans and Mercer has
