In fact.

Jones did not like to say this year that he Intended to give up the Job, since it would be received skeptically following bis taking the reins last spring after repeated announcement that he had As it stands now, Jones will without doubt retire from baseball and devote all his time to the management of his lumber interests in the Northwest. Recently he moved his family to the neighborhood of those inter ests, and evidently Intends to make his borne near the coast. He has wearied of the strain of leadership, though he has always devoted his best endeavors to the team, and his grow ing lumber business practically need all his attention now, so that his living up the pro fession was only a question of a short time Commliiiaa Will lie Relieved.

That act brought- about his blacklisting by the commission, and when. In 1905, be was wanted by the Sox owner to play in an im portant series at Detroit, Cal went on. only to be denied participation by the edict of President Johnson when he reached the Michigan city.

Two home runs and one three-bagger in important games be tween, the Cubs and Giants has impressed this on Matty's mind. The elocutionary elo quence has been developed with frequent bits of badinage and airy persiflage wltn Haaa O'Day, Bob Emsfie, Will Klem and Rudder- HAM.

Unless the weather conditions change tbe Midway field will be la the best of shape, and a sure footing will be afforded the opposing back fields. The hay which has been spread over the gridiron wss taken off yesterday and during the day tbe turf dried out In rapid fashion, and Groundkeeper Tuohy says the field will be fit for the great battle. Director Stagg confined tbe work of the Maroons in signal drill yesterday, not wish ing to run tne risk ox Injuring any of the men by a acrlmmage so late la the week. Schommer and Page were at ends with the usual back field.

Falk and Hoffman were played at tackles, which positions they will probably occupy when tbe team lines us low morrow. Kelly and Elliott were tried out guards with Badenoeh In hie old place at center. Tbe last three appear to be the- chosen members of the center trio. Hirschl and Meigs will be kept In reserve In case of an accident to any of tbe regulars. Scnott and.

As far aa I can see Chicago and Minnesota appear to be evenly matched. Minnesota a line Is certainly stronger than ours, while our ends are bet ter than Williams In my Judgment. As far as the back field la concerned, neither team appears to have the advantage. Although WUMame backs are not vet erans, from tbe game (cey have played so far this year they lock like stars.
