Our order will not he arranged until the spr'ng trip, but I fail to discover any reason why Spike Shannon should not aeain be the top man. He is and has an eagle eye fhat worries the pitchers. Besides, he hits to a part of The field that makes it necessary for opposing players to hustle, and 1 think he reaches his base oftener on errors than any other man in the busl-nrss. For second place in the New York baiting '1st I would now pick Fred Ten-npr, for he can hit to either field and can lay down one of those old Baltimore taps which is intended only for a sacrifice as a last resort.

To follow these men I have Donlin. Seymour and Jiresnahan. all free hitters, who will bang in many runs. Bridwell will a hard man to pitch to. and he will start New York.

Startling changes are anticipated in the Boston American team for next season. Manager Jim McGuire is expected to dispose u' many vl ins veterans and build a team from his young material. Harold Danzig, who played on various semi-professional teams in New York State this year, is expected to beat out both Both Unglaub and Myron Grlm-shaw. At the close of last season he was called to Boston by Manager McGuire and given dally practice with the team in order to show his speed. He Is only 20 years of age, but 6 feet in height.

On the Boston American reserve list are upward of 50 players, but it is safe to say that not over half this number will make the trio south with th team President Taylor says that Congalton will be sold, as well as a bunch of the pitchers now on his list, while the probability that Knight will play at the Huntington avenue grounds next season is also very remote. Jimmy Barrett will also have the fight of his life to hang on. Last year he was allowed to take things easy on account of his weak leg, but President Taylor thinks that next spring ought to show conclusively whether he will ever be the Jimmy Barrett of old. and if not, there are half a dozen ambitious youngsters, notably McHale and Chadboume, willing and able to fill his place. Young Donahue, brother of the aggressive Jtggs.

played second base for Springfield, last year, and will be a candidate for the third sack. While Iaporte and McConnell are competing for second base position, there will be a three-cornered fight on for third with Donahue, Lord and Knight striving to make good. BASEBALL NOTES. President Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox is negotiating for a special train to take his team and some 75 friends to the Pacific coast next spring. Now they are predicting that the coming season will see Bill Dahlen's return to the minors a la Tom Corcoran.

Dahlen has been in fast company since the early nineties. Up in Lancaster, they are talking outlaw league again because two of Lancaster's players were drafted. The rest of the Tri-State Clubs are well satisfied to remain in good society. Mike Mitchell will leave immediately after the holidays for Sea Breeze. Fla, Where he will play with a winter team until the Reds begin their spring training at St.

Augustine. After hawking Bob Unglaugli all over the American League circuit without getting a respectable offer for him, the Boston club has decided to hold on to the eccentric first sacker for next season. The national commission will meet in Cincinnati on January 6 and consider important minor league matters. On the following day the two schedule committees of the big leagues will discuss opening and holiday dates. Garry Herrmann, on his return to Cincinnati, expressed himself as gratified as to what he had done for the international bowling tournament while in the East, but had nothing to say when asked if he congratulated himself on his accomplishments in obtaining a leader for the Reds of 1908.

There is one satisfied ball player in the country, for John Anderson expresses himself as rapturously delighted at being transferred from Washington to Chicago. The long boy advises Joe Cantillon to write a series of articles about what he knows about red vests and what he does not know about running ball teams. Chicago denies the report that Jimmy Sheckard is to be allowed to return to Brooklyn. Jimmy was in danger of losing his number until he swatted Mathewson for a home run last May that broke up the championship aspirations of the Giants. This demon smite entitled the "Grasshopper" to a halo in Chicago for at least another season.

Jim McAleer has at last spoken about Harry Niles. According to the St. Louis manager. Harry is atrociously weak in handling balls thrown by a catcher and does not know the hit-and-run game when he sees it. The last time "Sunny Jim" was In New York he announced that in a year Niles would be the grandest ballplayer In the business.

Fans are entitled to take their pick of the statements. i.xcnange. Garry Herrmann refused to part with "Admiral" Schel. but he will probably not refuse any offers for Long Larry Mc-L in. for the altitudinous receiver has recently had the nerve to say that Garry made a mistake in dispensing with Ned.

Hanlon's services. The tall boy has not been in the business long enough to learn that owners never make mistakes, the blunders of players alone being alluded to in this manner. Illustrious personages like Herrmann occasionally commit errors of judgment but mistakes, never! New York Press. Louisville Men Sign. Cincinnati, December 21.

Business Manager Tom Chivington. of the Louisville Club, came up to the big city yesterday and signed Ambrose Puttmann and Orville Woodruff to contracts for next season. He also had a talk with Helnie Peltz. who is going to manage the Colonels. Mr.

Chivington told President Herrmann that Louisville does not want to enter an outlaw organization, and that the talk of the American Association seceding is all hot air. Young, Standing Donnellj-, HASSARD'S SELECTIONS AT NEW ORLEANS TRACK (Copyright. 1907. by W. R.

HIGH SCHOOL PASSERS OUT Basketball Candidates Getting Ready for the Opening Game With the season's opening just a few weeks off. the Pittsburg High school basketball team is putting in some very hard practice. The number of candidates Is being gradually cut down. The opening of hostilities between the scrubs and the regulars began yesterday when the regulars defeated the scrubs in two hotly contested halves.

For the regulars, Johnson and Comensky played forward; Page, center, and Sivitz. Kess-ler and Broido alternated at gtTawi. For the scrubs, Cates, Frankel and Pipes starred. According to the schedule the games arranged during January will be the hardest of the season. Alleehenv Pre which is the opening attraction, has been at work for this game ever since the beginning of the school term, and expect to give a good account of themselves.

The Alumni, which will be the opening attraction at home, January 15, will have the strongest line-un in its should the locals succeed in getting awav with the game, their chances for beating last year's record will be good utler and DuBois, which follow, will be the real test of the season, as tney are considered the strongest inter-scholastic teams in the state j-nere win be no practice until after holiday week.

Dr. Lees was authorized to attend the meeting of the intercollegiate football rules committee in New York December 27.

FOOTBALL MEN OUT. Perdue Begins' Work Early To Produce Winning Team, Lafayett. December 21. Stuart Field presented an unusual appearance for this time of year Friday afternoon, when a large number of spectators and contestants turned out for the first of the football kicking contests, which are io be held each week in order to determine who the best drop-kicker and punters are in the University, and incidentally to develop kickers for the 'varsity next fall. The men have been practicing in numbers throughout the week, and when the examination came yesterday about 25 were booting the ball.

In addition to the kickers on the 'varsity squad this fall, a number of promising unknowns have appeared and are showing better form than their older contestants. Coe Trains in Maine. Boston. December 21. Wesley W.

Coe, the shot putter, left last night for Maine. He will spend about a month loggfng and roughing it with the hopes of returning to form for the big indoor meetings this winter, and especially for the Boston Athletic Association games February a fresh line of worriment for the box-j man. The press hardly made my indorse ment of iiridwell strong enough. If we had had him last season we would have finished second with ease, for that kid is a corker. Some of my former athletes have seen fit to criticize me and.

while I don't want to knock, 1 can see where Bridwell would have strengthened the Giants last year, for he would have been waiting for halls that my former men never got near." zel should be given this chance, but that will not be the reason that he will be appointed. There are few managers hanging around on trees these days, and Mr. Herrmann is determined to got the very best that money or players can procure. Ganzel looks to be the best available material. There is Jusi one other mar whom Mr.

Herrmann would like to iret. but he cannot be secured, owing to th I iii uioi ue is siar, ana mat it wouici be baseball suicide for the owner of the club to which he belongs to sell him at any price. Thus it looks as though Ganzel. whom Herrmann likes next to tVis man who cannot be secured, will get the job. It will be well remembered that Gansel made a record as a manager last year, for in every Instance when Hanlon was away from the team and Ganzel was in charge he brought the team out with flying colors, and a large majority of victories to its credit.

Even then Ganzel did not have free rein, and Ganzel the manager would be an entirely different personage than Ganzel the player. MAY RETURN TO RUNNING TURF Julius Fleischmann May Race With Tom Welsh As His Trainer New York, December 21. If Julius Fleischmann decides to return to the turf, which is probable, Thomas Welsh will train for him. When Fleischmann had a big raciner stable several years ago Welsh looked after it and succeeded in winning some notable stakes, but when the Cincinnati man became tired of the game and sold out Welsh took charge of the Newcastle Stable, owned by Andrew Miller, M. Blair Painter and F.

C. Bishop. But this combination did not fare particularly well last season and Mr. Bishop withdrew from It. Jockey Miller was aiso released, so that the conclusion was drawn that in 19oS the Newcastle Stable might not cut a very Important figure.

Welsh was in Lexington several days aero looking over a bunch of coming two-year-olds that he will train for Messrs. Miller and Painter next year, and afterward paid a visit to Cincinnati' where he met some old friends. Including Julius Fleischmann. Colonel Alec Labold and Henry M. Ziegler.

During the conversation that followed Welsh was informed that if he would agree to train for Fleischmann the latter might return to the turf some day, whereupon the noted trainer said that nothing i uc more agreeaoie to him.

President Fulllam. of the National League, who jho is a memoer or the National Commission, said yesterday that his body had taken no action on the proposed invasion of Chicago by the American Association. "Murphy did not allude to it when he was here, and we still brieve the association to be a member in good standing of the National Agreement." Pulliam said.

"When the American Association asks us for permission to place a club in Chicago we will act on the matter, but not before. It is the idea of the National League not to cross any bridges until it comes to them." Flick Buys Horses. Cleveland. December 21.

It is highly probable that President August Herrmann, of the Cincinnati Baseball Club. will present the Cincinnati fans with a Christmas present In the form of the new manager of the Reds, gf Mr. Herrmann, on his return from Xew York, stated that he would announce the name of the man within a few days. However, since that time things have I transpired to make hlin hold off a little i while longer In the hope of securing a man whom he is after. There is but i slight hope, but It may happen.

On the dope it looks as though Cap- tain John Ganzel is a one to ten shot. and should he be appointed there will not be a fan In town but what will be strong for him.

Brown, their crack first baseman. Is to advance in the ranks of his profession, would prefer to have him remain here at least another year, as they Xeel will be impossible to till his place. Brown will go to St. Louis heralded as the best tirst. baseman in the Eastern league.

Although with a tail-end club, lie played grand ball from start to finish. Montreal fans think Brown the niftiest first-sacker who ever played in these parts and that is going some, for "Saji-Uy" LaChance played here a couple of seasons back. But "Sandy," whose glory was then waning, could not compare" with Brown, even when playing bis best. Brown pulled off numerous dazzling plays last summer, and It did not seem to make any difference to him whether he got the ball to the right or left ou a sharp, slow, -high or low bound. He smothered the sphere almost every time.

He was a spectacular fielder and Is the closest approach to Hal Chase of any first-sacker in the minors. lirown Is left-hander and lines the ball to second and third so fast it looks like an undergrown pea. Brown Is not a sensational hitter, but his hits were generally timely. He was one of the best men In the Eastern League driving-in runs. Brown fielded above last season and batted .234.

He is well versed in play. Montreal secured him from Detroit. Prior to that he was with Walter Burnham's Newark "Sailors." He is 24 years old. FAMOUS OARSMAN WANTS TO BE MOYOR OF TORONTO Toronto, December 21. Ned Han-Ian, the one-time famous oarsman.

President Charles Webb Murphy of the world's champion baseball team announced this morning that the Cubs have received an invitation to train next spring at Monkey River. British Honduras, and that the proposition was under consideration by himself and Manager Frank Chance." Monkey River is within easy distance of New Orleans and the accommodations there are as good as can be found in ajny part of the world, with a climate close to the 00-degree mark most of the year.

The invitation for the Cubs to train in the British colony comes from John Lewis, who is manager of the Tnternation hotel at Monkey River, a thriving city situated on the Gulf of Honduras. Yewls is a well-known hotel man. who formerly lived in New Orleans. He is anxious to have the Chicago team make the trip to his new home and Manager Chance is inclined to accept the invitation because of the fact that the climate there is so pleasing and beneficial, compared to the raw weather that prevails in the T'nited States at that time of the year. The Cubs have been troubled for the last lO years to find climatic conditions that would enabie them to get into anything like playing condition before the start of the season.

Charles Zuber of Cincinnati visited Monkey River last month as a repre BANKERS AND MAKE A Burgoyne Will Play Tonight Against His Former Teammates When the smoke of battle clears away from the hockey game tonight between Lyceum and Bankeers at Duquesne Garden, both teams will probably acknowledge that they were in a contest. From what both captains say, this game will be even faster than the one played last Tuesday between Pirates and P. A. C. Should this be the case, the contest will be a pleasing one, which will be appreciated by the followers of this strenuous winter sport, for they like exciting games.

ne two teams have been in constant practice for this engagement, and neither will have any excuses to make after the game is finished. From the sale of seats the game will be witnessed by the largest attendance of the season. box parties have al- tl 1 I 1 1 III' I I 1 v-i. football team and subs will be out to ICY INKLINGS.

Povey, who made such a favorable impression on the hockey followers in the first Banker game, will again be seen at point for Sixsmith's team tonight. Siieitiitii if the Bankers, is not yet satisfied with his line-up and is hustling for several new men. so it is up to those on the present line-up to make good tonight.

111., says tht Theodore Breitenstein. the famous old southpaw pitcher of the Reds, hag been Indicted there for illegally conducting a saloon. sentative of the Chicago club and his report was so favorable to the country for a training place that the matter is under serious consideration by the Cub management. If the Central American trip is undertaken the team probably will leave Chicago two weeks earlier than otherwise planned. The trip by boat from New Orleans would take three as the journey will have to be made in slow vessels.

The distance is several hundred miles less than from New Orleans to the Panama canal zone, but the boat service is not as good. Monkey River is a city of nearly inhabitants and most of them art from this country and England. They are greatly interested in baseball. The city lias electric lights and waterworks and is almost as modern as New Orleans. Bananas and cocoanuts are the chief products of the country and the natives have leaxned to play the great American game, using the ripe cocoa-nuts in place of the regulation baseball, according to Zuber.

The Cubs will not go to West Baden in case the Honduras trip Is taken, for the time will be needed in traveling, rather than in tramping the hills around the Indiana resort. The plan is to put in a week or 10 days at Monkey River and then return to New Orleans and from there play out the present schedule of games arranged for the spring trip.

Chicago. December 21. A dispatch from Toronto last niht stated that ComWkey had sold Huh Hart to the Toronto Eastern League Club. The Sox owner denied that he had disposed of Hart and said that the Georgetown backstop will be a regular member of the Sox team as long as he plays as good baseball as he did last season.

"Manager Mike Kelly, who will endeavor to retain tor Toronto the pennant won last season by his namesake. Joe Kelley, will get a salary of $3uo in advance of that jam the latter last season," said President McCaffrey last night. "At that we are satisfied with the deal we made wltn him. He is no experiment, haing already piloted a number of teams to pennant positions, and.

besides, he is a young man with many years of hfs" ball ahead of him. So much cannot be said of some of the other applicants tor the manager's job of the "I received a letter from President Ebbets of the Brooklyn Nationals this morning," continued Mr. McCaffrey, in which he offered to give us J111 Casey for McGinley and Sl.OitO. His original proposition was McGinley ana S3(X but when he reached reasonable figures he was too late and we had signed Kelly, who is undoubtedly one or the best young managers in the country. We have no intention of trading McGinley or using him as the basis of any deals that may be consummated later.

He will be found on the pitching staff again next season." The managerial problem has occupied so much of the time and attention of President McCaffery. who is virtually the manager of the champions at present, that there has not as yet been a favorable opportunity for the discussion of the new grounds question, but that will be dealt with early next week.
