Now Col. Huston has decided to withdraw from the game for whlcll be has done much. No one appear to regret It more than CoL Ruppert "In all the years we have been associated' be says, "we never hare bad a serious disagreement." If the deal goes through Col.

No tarms of the transfer have been made public, but the moat likely hitch In the proceedings would appear to concern the disposition of tbe famous iron hat It has been agreed that Col.

Ruppert shall take over eB other holdings, including the bat boy, but whether the hat is personal property or b'longs to the partnership Is a mooted question. Ii Col.

On the other hand occasions might arise when Col, Huston would need It with blm.

He, of course, woul4 wear it in case of a storm at sea or at Monte Carlo or when landing Ireland. With the coming of Frank Chance the Red Sox are apt to regain some of their lost popularity in Boston. Chance belongs to the old school ot fighters.
