1IASE BALL GOSSIP.
Al Buckenburger, who has Just bought
the Toronto, Out., franchise In the Kast
ern league, has returned to Pittsburg und
has made a most Important deal witn
Connie .Mack. Buck gets ilve of Pitts
burg's strong young men, Padden, sec.
ond base; Moran, pitcher; Genlns, iulleld
er; O'Brien, ouillelder, und Stuart, short
stop. "Buck" will also take to Canada
Wagner and Barrett, of Pittsburg, whom
he hud signed ror Trenton In the Atlantic
league. The Trepton franchise has been
transrerred to Hartford, Conn., and will
be handled by Kd. Barrows, of Wheeling,
W. Va.. who last year won the pennant in
the Iron and till league.
A Baltimore dispatch says Manager Bil
lie Barnle has compromised with Van der
liorst and Hanlon, and the suit he entered
against the Baltimore magnates for an
interest in the club and a share or Ihe
profits for two years has been dismissed.
The compromise was Ihe fruit of a visit
Barnle paid to the Baltimore manager a
week ago. when he was paid some money,
the amount being kept a secret, with
which he intended to buy the Toronto
club franchise. Al Buckenberger got In
ahead of him and Barnle Is again outside
of the base bull breastworks, but with a
small wad In his inside pocket.
President Freedman. of the New York
club, believes l.oiiisvllle will be in' the
National race to win. He says: "They
have Just as good a chance for lirst place
as for the tail end. Don't fool yourself
on Mefioskey's boys this year."
Buckenlierger Is said to have paid
for Jack Chapman's Interest In the To',
onto franchise. If Toronto gets a po-t
Hon on the rail and well up In the bun 'h,
Buckenberger will make money; If the
club falls to make a good showing the
new owner will lose his twenty-five hun
dredand maybe something beside. The
same comment applies to Scranton. but to
all appearanres the Canucks and the Mil
lionaires are going to earn money for
their owners.
Newspapers In Eastern league cities are
anomalously referring to the Scranton
players as "coal heavers" and "million
aires." Any old kind of a name will be
swallowed with grace If McDermott
proves a winner.

he was quite dead. Debth was a mar

T1I1KD BASEMAN DKAL'BY.
AUUcrtnott Wants tha Ulsoa for Scran
ton's Initial Hug.
Manager McDermott Is after Drauby.
who last season played third base for
Buffalo and was reaerved by that club
until a few days ago, w hen he was re
leased. Drauby hus been asked to send
Scranton his terms. If they are satis
factory he will be signed and will pluy
lirst base, ir the Wllkes-Harre manage
ment, who are after hi in. does not lirst
secure him.
First base Is Drauby's old position
which accounted for some of his many
errors at third. His chief value to Buf
falo was his heuvy stick work. If
Drauby is signed no further effort will
be made to secure big "Bill" Massey,'
of the Carboudales. an old time Scran
ton lirst baseman, a terrlllc hitter and
an all-around hummer of a player. It
had been susoected that the shrewd
Marty Styift in his refusal to allow
Massey to negotiate with Scranton hud
hoped to secure a fat bonus. He blocked
the deal anyhow, and now he and Mas
sey are none the better situated and
possibly Scranton has suffered a little
as Massey seems better than Drauby.
Still ball players, like the weather, are
subject to great cJiuiigeB and the Hison
may be found to till the bill. Drauby
played In the Cedar Itaplds club and
was a team mate of "Mugsy" Mctiraw
and "Hill" Hoffer.
Arrangements for re-buildlng the
fences at Ihe Base Ball park, enlarging:
the grandstand and moving the dia
mond westward were practically com
pleted yesterday and the work will be
pushed forward us rapidly as the
weather permits. The proposed changes
were recently given In detail In The
Tribune. It in Intended that there shall
be no delay In making the Improve
ments, and that the grounds and build
ings will bp ready for use several weeks
before the season opens.

yeurs I bud kidney trouble. In that
time I have paid doctors and for vari

$50. I was not cured and not even
benefited. Some weeks ago I began

little doses' than front all the medicine
that cost me so much money. 1 have
