James Callahan, who claims to be certain of obtaining an AmeHcan Association franchise for Chicago, is touring the city, accompanied by M. 12. Cantiilon. owner of the Minneapolis eltrb, examining desirable sites for a ball park.

Callahan said last evening that as long as the local National League club intended to put up a tight against the Invasion he would have to do a bit of fighting, too, and therefore would need park centrally located. 1 le favors the old National Lengue grounds at Loom is and Harrison street. That" would bo carrying the light into National League territory, for the Loomls-street grounds are only a few blocks from the present Wesc Side Park. AMERICAN TEAM Going to Havana to Play a Football Game. NEW ORLEANS.

Ferd Kuhn, Nashville's baseball President, is aoout the busiest man In this city right now. First, he has a big removal shoe dale' oil hand. Then there is the Christines shoppers to look after, and last, but by no means least, the managerial questlbn for the 'OS club Is occupying his attention.

"Pretty tough proposition, this," he remarked Saturday during the busy hours, when asked if there was anything "dor ing" In the way of a new manager. "I simply have not the time to glvo the matter a thought. We'll not act until after Wednesday." This was all Mr. Kuhn had to say on the question. However, many are the names 'that are being considered.

Messages have been sent to have Cross and Ed Abbatticchio asking if they will consider a proposition to accept the job, but up to a lute hour last night no replies had been received. Either of these men would make good hero. Both are fine players and have been in the business long enough to know just "what what. But getting them is the doubtful question. Lave Cross, It is said, belongs to Kansas City, and it is doubtful if George Tebeau, owner of that team, would give him up.

Pittsburg holds the contract of Mr. Abbaticehio. For the past several days the fans have been discussing the managerial question with a great deal of interest. Various men have- been discussed, but the one that seems to be the most popular Is that of Chris Haury, one of the directors. Every-bodys knows Chris.

Than him no better German ever walked in shoe leather. And right here let it be said that Mr. Haury Is a walking encyclopedia on baseball. Furthermore, lie is a business man. knows the line points of the game, and in the writor's opinion, is In every respect the most suitable man "for the place to be found anywhere when it comes to a bench manager.

He's a fellow that would have harmony In the ranks, and would see to it that a player did his best. If he didn't he couldn't play for Chris Haury. A large number of the most prominent fans in Nashville ar advocating Mr. Haury, and while ho has not said that he was a candidate for the position It Is believed lie would accept the. place if it was offered him.

However, he would have to be given full charge, for Chris is one of those kind that would not stand up and argue a point with some one trying to dictate to him that did not. know tiie tirst principle in basoba.ll. Fandom seems to prefer Mr. Haury over the others, and the management would make a wise move in giving him a trial. Bttgging a manager- for any baseball club is no easy matter.

Cincinnati Is alao having a deal of trouble, and the following from tht! Cincinnati Enquirer, concerning "freak" applications for the managerial position, will be of interest: "It is not because of a lack of candidates that President Herrmann Is hesitating in making his choice of the next manager of the lieds.

C. CROWDER TO PRESIDENCY. PROMINENT ELK. MEMPHIS.

Dec. 21. (Special.) Although the make-up of the 1908 circuit of the Cotton States Baseball League remains undecided the successful organization which will commence its seventh straight campaign with the next race has named officers, and with A. C. Crowder, at the head, baseball people in the South believe that a good season of sport awaits fans in Six Club Circuit.

The new President, who succeeded D. Stacy Compton, resigned, lives In Jackson, and has been a leading factor In baseball circles in his city foi several years. President Crowder Is a member of the Board of Aldermen at the Mississippi Capital, and may occupy relatively the same conspicuous position as Mayor Joyner, of Atlanta, In regard to being a baseball fan, as Crowder is a prospective candidate for Mayor with a big following. He Is Grand Exalted Ruler of the Mississippi Elks, and his election to the Presidency of the Cotton States League was unanimous. He Is the fourth President elected hy the League, which was originally launched through efforts of J.

S. Til-ford, a third party degree fan, who moved from Frankfort, to Greenville, several years ago, and who was first President.

His bride-to-be Is a Miss Cave, of Bur.

Huston, Iu. Unknown to his many friends in this city, Lefty has gone ahead quietly and arranged the details of his wedding without consulting any nno, and although the date has not been set, it is believed that this will be announced in a few days. Mr. Davis was one of the best and most popular ball players that ever left Nashville. He first came into prominence when playing semi-professional ball hereabouts.

Afterwards he went 'to thu big leagues and has been there over since. Last year he wore a Cincinnati uniform. BASE BALL NOTES How would you like to receive the announcement from 'headquarters that Ed Abbaticchlo will lead the locals In 1008? And, say. Lave Cross wouldn't bo a bad man. Again it must bo conceded Mint the Boston Nationals look as good on paper as any other team In league, excepting Chicago and the Phlliles.

Joe Kelley must be credited with having accomplished an uncommonly advantageous deal. Mike Finn says he Is going to grab the rag next year. Mike always dishes out something like this about Christmas time, but no one takes him seriously. It must be stated, though, that "By Tunder" has a rather promising aggregation stored safely away. It Is rumored that President Comlskey, of the White Sox, will take his players to Panama or Honolulu if they will consent to leave Chicago on" Fob.
