No men-' tion whatever, so far as the writer knows, of demands as to salary in crease was made, except by some of the Detroit players while on stiike last May, and then only in directly.

Organizer! baseball is far more stronglj- fortified today than it was In 1890, when the un successful Brotherhood revolt oc curred. But it Is not likely that players, in the light of past expe riences and with so wise a head as David Fultz leading the associa tion. will attempt any movement of this sort, at least until they have extended their organization to at least as low as class B Then, if a considerable percent age of their members do not suc cumb to tempting offers sure to be made by the magnates of the two big leagues in event of a strike, they can go out with some rea sonable prospects of success. A strike under existing conditions would be almost necessarily fatal. natl that Horace Fogel has been made thd victim of Charley Murphy, that Horace jumped on the umpires at Murphy's sug gestion and that now Cholly will desert him and allow the the National league to kick him out. Well, anyway, that's one debt of gratitude the N. L. will owe Noisy Charles. ♦ • * Ever hear of an umpire having any luck? Well, note this year what Rlgler has done.

IT'S surely one sad and mourn ful scene to wake up every morning and find the back yard bestrewn with jobless base ball managers, just as a long, hard winter is about to break out and run amuck. If al! the various changes had beem made during the course of the regular season, the clutter could have been cleared away in the general routine of business without attracting any great amount of attention, but at this particular time the huge mass of the unemployed is clogging the wheels of traffic. So far, about half a dozen big league managers have been given the good old raus, with several precincts which are normally “agin” second terms for any leader yet to ' be heard from. Joe Tinker is apparently to sup plant Hennery O’Day at Cincinnati, which Is a dignified way of stating that Josephus will horn the ex-ump out of a fkt situation. Presumably Hennery will again don the blue badge of big league servitude, un less Murphy signs him to take Joe's job at short. Hennery is said to have a standing offer from Ban Johnson. Johnny Evers has succeeded Frank Chance as chief of the bogged-down Cub machine, and all John has to do to make a big hit is to get a new shortstop, outfield and pitching staff, and finish firs? in 1913. Stovall Takes to Worrying. Roger Bresnahan is quite natur ally uttering shrill, flutelike notes over his nummary dismissal at St Louis, but It is said that th# Great Hen Pecked has been offered the St. Louis Browns As Chalice is also alleged to have been tendered the same job, George Stovall has something to think about o’ nights. The St. Louis Cardinal schedule Is for Miller Huggins to relieve the Rajah, unless the Duke of Bucking ham gets relief from some court. George Stallings has eased him self into a situation without any great disturbance, although it is said Johnny Kling went away from QPANn SUBFRB KEITH Matinee Toda, UAUOEVHIE Tonight at 8:10 Lilian Herl«in,Prima Donna Star nau v W.
