WHITING SAM CRANE, WJ HSbETH, DAMON RUNYON, CHARLES DRYDEN - JERSEY CITY MAY LOSE BASEBALL FRANCHISE JERSEY CITY. July 20—Declaring that they can not afford to lose any more money, James J. Lillis and Hugh Msßreen, owners of the Jersey City baseball club of the International league, have announced that unless the games at West Side park are more gen erously patronized they will be obliged to transfer the franchise to some other city. In a public statement issued yester day, President Lillis said there would be a game on Sunday to test the loy alty of the local baseball enthusiasts, Jersey City and Baltimore will be the contesting teams. The price of admission will be raised from 25 to 50 cents, and the grand stand seats will be 75 cents instead of 50 cents. The free list, Including passes, will be suspended. If the attendance is not up to the expectations of the owners, it will be the last game played in Jer sey City. President Lillis says that only by the increase of prices and an attendance that will show a desire on the part of the local fans to patronize the game “can Jersey City be continued on the baseball map.” It was learned that the Jersey City team has made money only one year since it was established. James J. Lillis, a Jersey City lawyer, bought the team two years ago from the estate of the late Robert Davis. Last year Hugh Mcßreen, of Boston, became part owner of the team. nolanTnFattell on VERGE OF BIG BREAK SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.—The Billy Nolan-Abe Attell alliance appears to be resting on the weakest kind of a foundation. Attell has been hinting that he and Billy are no longer yoked. He neglected to notify Nolan. Mean while, Billy has been hustling to per fect the details of the Attell-Murphy battle, scheduled for August 3, and “pointing” his man for a return match with Johnny Kilbane. "I took up Attell’s case at a time when his popularity was rusted, his title gone and his prestige dented." says Nolan. "I claim nothing from him on the grounds of gratitude, as grati tude appears to have no place in the boxing game. “My contract was to take Abe to the mountains and get him into first-class physical condition, after which I was to land him in the ring with Kilbane again. He will box Murphy under my direction and we will then get Kilbane. After this Abe may act as he chooses.” If Abe tries any sleight-of-hand stuff with Nolan, though, look out for a beautiful battle of wits between two men who know the boxing game.

BOfflG DREYFUSS NOT PLEASED WITH O’TOOLE'S HURLING CHICAGO, July 20.—A Record-Herald dispatch today from Pittsburg says that President Dreyfuss, of the Pirates, is becoming tired and disgusted with the frequency with which Marty O’Toole, the spitball flinger, for whom he paid the record price of $22,000, is being trounced. Speaking of yesterday's game with New York. Dreyfuss tartly remarked: “It i:- not necessary to pay a pitcher a high salary to go in and hand out three walks in one inning. 1 can go out on the mound and do as good myself and save the salary of a pitcher. There is no excuse for such miserable pitch ing.” JIM DELEHANTY TO BE LET OUT BY DETROIT DETROIT, July 20.—According to a message received from Hughey Jen nings by a morning newspaper here to day, Jim Delehanty, the Tigers’ hard hitting second baseman, is to go to the Pacific Coast league.

Beyond any question of doubt, the current season has been the most dan gerous In the history of the league, and unless Dame Fortune smiles more lav ishly on the organization and pulls that smile mighty quick, 1912 will mark the close of professional ball on this cir cuit. for several years, at least.
