Some papers say that he is in line for a Federal League jeb and others say that Comnie Mack has placed him in charge of the St. Louis team which is all absurd. Captain Danny has received several contracts from his former manager Quring the St couple of weeks and they have been been unsatisfactory. The captain received the last one the other day but he returned it because it was not what he was looking for. Enclosed with the last contract was a letter from Connie Mack stating that this would be the last contract he would send and for Danny to accept it and-report for spring practice in March. But Danny says if the Ath- letics want his services they have got to come across with the kind of =& contract that suits him. As it now stands the Athletics will be minus the services of the captain if they don’t cough-up. Danny has been exercising for the past few months in the local Y. M. C. A. and says his knee has fully recovered. YALE-HARVARD REGATTA. Announced by Crimson Management— At New London, June 18-19. Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 25—The pro_ gramme of the Harvard-Yale regatta on the Thames river at New London, June 18 and 19, announced by the Crimson management today, includes the usual race of varsity fours as the opening feature of the second day. A Suggestion that this race be eliminat- ed was advanced recently but ap- parently did not find favor. After the \.fours finish, the freshmen eight oared Tace will be rowed during the morn- | ing. The big race of varsity eights will be held in the afternoon. An afternoon race of freshmen fours is the only event anuounced for the | first day. 1 ROASTED THE TOURISTS. English Papers Poke Fun at the Giants and White Sox. The touring American basebaly play- ers arrived here yesterday, said a Lon- { don paper of Tuesday. All are anxious to play in London, and efforts are be- ing made to arrange two games at the Chelsea. football ground, which accom- modates 70,000 persons. The party, numbering about sevemty, attracted considerable attention. Manager John McGraw of the Giants came in for a share of criticism from the Pall Mall Gazette because, in an interview in the Daily Mail, he ex- pressed the opinion that baseball was a better game than cricket to enable Great Britain to regain her place in sport. The Pall Mall Gazette recom- mends that “Mr. McGraw keep these impertinences for his friends at home.” McGraw told a newspaper man that the players were much disappointed that rain prevented their playing in Rome and Paris, while Charles Comis- key sald: “We must play here. Every one in the party is just hollering to pley in London, so you can see it will be some game. best ‘gate’ we had on the trip was 11,000 at Manila, but there was very little to choose between Manila, Tokio and Melbourne.” Practically all the local newspapers published ili-natured attacks on the Giants and the White Sox for mnot playing on Sunday, with a variety of ironical remarks with severe reproofs for “lack of common politeness,” based on the allegation that the players’ managers took no steps to inform the public when 700 persons were awaiting them at the fleld that there would be o game, the crowd staying “indefinie- 1y” in the celd drizzie. The newspapers remark that it is “hoped the players never returm, as thy’re unwelcome.” In Paris they showed themselves impolite, and there are many hints abeut too much Mont- matre.” Some papers also poked fun at “the softn of the high priced players, who, like race horses, are too valuable to take into the rain.” EVERS IS ANXIOUS. Whether He Will Get His Bonu: Chicago, Feb. 25.—That he may not get the $20,080 bonus offered him by| the National league in New York to sign with the Boston Braves, was the| statement made by Johnny Evers, de- posed manuger of the Cubs, on his re- turn to Chicago tonight. Hvers said that he had a suspicion that all was not right in the deal, and that a hitch has developed lailly that may beat him out of the money. Evers sald that his contract with Boston calling for $10,000 a year seem- ed perfectly legal; but the agreement between Charles W. Murphy and James Gaffney, whereby Evers was to go to Boston in exchange for Pitcher Perdue and Inflelder Sweeney may include the “joker” that will beat him out of the bonus money. Johnny infers that if the Boston men Doubts are not turned over to the Cubs the| bonus money will not be forthcoming, and he adds that he suspects that one of them may fall to report. Y. M. C. A. Sports. The emploved boys' class at the Y. M. C. A. gym. had their second physi- cal test Tuesday night. The events were five set exercises on the parallel bars, 100 rope skip for time and run- ning high jump. Zuerner _was high man with 147 points; R. Jensen, second, 131; E.

Slabman Will Pitch in Washington. Charles Croker, the pitcher who won the championship for N. F. A. in 1911, has gone to the Catholic University in Washington, to pitch there this sea- son. Croker pitched for the Colgate nine last year, and all through last summer pitchéd first-class ball. A clipping from the Washington Star gives him credit as follows: 1in the last few weeks, and organized baseball does not look at us with as { hostile eyes as it did,” continued Mr. | Gilmore. “We will be admitted to lorgamzed baseball as a third major league befors long, much longer than Iman_v people are inclined to think.

When told that the New York club had announced that Tesreau had gone to Marlin. he said: “The major leagues have announced a lot of players will report to their training camps who will no show up.” “We are not worrying about losing Mathewson, and consider him as good as signed,” said Secretary Foster of the Giants. “Mathewson has been sent a blank contract to fill in, and the New York club is willing to sign him for life. To show how ridiculous is the idea that Mathewson is considering the Federal league's offer, I need but say that Matty has been the New York club’'s agent on the coast to get our players there in line.” BERMUDA, WEST INDIES, PANAMA CANAL | foreign holders of these shares to throw them over for what they would bring.

Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and Texas also felt the effect of this sell- ing, but the Wabash shares made a betier showing than on recent days. The siump of the standard shares, influenced by the weakness of the minor issues, was coincident with the circulation of a report that decisive developments would occur in the Mex- ican situation before the close of the weel. While there apparently was mo authentic basis for the report, it was effective in promoting Dear selling. Contributory factors were the poor railroad reports and the less favor- able trade news of the day. The Jan- uary statements of both Afchison and Baltimore and Ohio showed decreases in gross earnings of more than $1,- 000,000. The weekly steel trade re- views reported that new business was not heavy, and in the copper trade thers was talk of price cutting because of the stagnant condition of the metal market.
