It is said that Herr-man is prepared to make a very advantageous offer for the little star.

Stevens, of Sum-merfield, Ohio, on Saturday broke the old record, which was held by Midshipman Chambers, who resigned a short time ago.

yesterday has stimulated Interest in the Pittsburg matches, for the fact that the Boston man is to go a-ainst "Wizard" Shafer on January 23 for the world's championship, and that Hoppe will challenge the winner to recover the titles he has lost by forfeiture, form a duality of reasons for the '-attention that is being given the events in the Great Northern this week.

New Tork. January 8. Joe McGinnity will be a Giant next year, and the good old "Iron Man" will again endeavor to twirl the horsehidn in a way that will put the Giants in the running. There was never a pitcher, not even the great Christy Mathewson, who was ever really closer to local fans than He was a pitcher who could always be relied upon to do his best, and his grand work as a Giant can never be effaced from the memory of those who have followed the Giants' record closely. Joe has been hit hard occasionally, as every pitcher has, but in the long run the "Iron Man's" record will sine up alongside of any pitcher who ever occupied the at the old Polo Grounds.

There have been more flashy pitchers than McGinnity, but for an all-round, good old standby, one who can be banked on day in and day out. I think good old Joe's record will stand the spotlight, where some of the other luminants would be doused like the "glim" on a canal boat, Manager McGraw received a letter from McGinnity yesterday, in which the redoubtable "Iron Man" wrote that the terms offered him were entirely satisfactory, and that he was greatly pleased to be back with the Giants again. MnRran Is faelinsr highly elated over because three years are he was defeated by Joe Bowker, who was in turn knocked son's Giants. I am willing to acknowledge that they were far from being what I anticipated." Tnen McGraw switched off unto his next season's team, and said: "This man Bridwell is going to surprise people. He Is the best thrower in the National League The beauty ot his throwing is in the fact that he gets the ball away from him in any position in wheh he grabs the horsehide.

He is much like Doolln, of the Phillies. Tou Just watch him alongside Devlin next season and see the fielding plays those boys pull off. Why, Bridwell can go to his right as well as he can to 'his left, and can get the ball over, too. Bridwell has one fault In fighting the ball a bit too much, and will try to get it away from him just as fast for a runner like McGann -as for Browne, but the boy has got baseball In him, and you wait and see what I will make of him.

He has a nagging style of his own which is good enough for me. and I know he can keep both the pitcher and flelders guessing a whole lot on where he is going to place the ball." It has been definitely decided that the match play between Willie Hoppe, former world's champion billiardist at balk line lo.l, and Albert Cutler, of Boston, challenger of Champion Schafer, which takes place in Great Northern hall Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings, will be for 400 points at each exhibition, making a total of 2.400 points to run.

Robson's chances are not considered1 good, for he has lost both to Bowker and Johnny Summers.
