' PAT MOHAN MAKES OFFER
WOiild Like to Umt RIIIH* Marquard
for tlie Phillies
Special to The Telegraph
| Xew York, Dec 10. —A deal was
started hero between Pat Moran and
i John McGraw that bids fair to go
through before the gloom turns into
dawn. Both Moran and McGraw have
' been flirting with each other In trying
i to land certain players which the other
! coveted and it is probable that sorne-
I thing will actually come out of the
| proposition which Moran finally offered
| to the Giants' leader late last night.
| The new Phil leader's proposition
' was this: He offered Honus L,obert
j and Charley Dooin to the Giants In
'j exchange for five players who were
j supposed to be Rube Marquard and
j Rube Schauer, pitchers. Robertson,
jan outfielder, and Kddle Grant and
Beatty, intielders. The deal all hinges
on the Marquard case. If the "Wards
I really turn Rube, back to organized
I baseball as they said they would do
; if the Giants can show that they held
a prior claim upon his services, then
Moran will allow the trade to be made,
j Dooin and Magee will hold oft until
! Saturday.

President Ban B. Johnson Names
Connie Mack as Part of Deal
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Dec. 10.—Unverified re
ports had the Yankees Anally disposed
of anil Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the
owner,yesterday, but B. B. Johnson,
president of the American Jjeague, who
is conducting the sale, asserted that
the deal is not closed yet. A matter of
$50,000 in cash is said to be holding
j up the transaction at present, hut those
I involved assert that this obstacle will
I be overcome Saturday when, it is said,
Colonel Ruppert will meet with Mr.
Johnson. Charles Comiskey of the
White Sox, and Connie Mack of the
■ Athletics, at French Lick Springs, Jnd.,
j where Colonel Ruppert is now.
j Just what is the import of Connie
j Mack being one ol' the quartet at the
French Lick meeting is somewhat du
lbious among baseball men who were
at loss to explain the sudden interest
| of Mack toward the Yankees. Reports
| from Philadelphia that Mack was con
sidering a job as manager and part
owner of the Yankees were feebly de
nied last night, but the added report
of the French Lick meeting would
put some light of truth on the report
that Mack will take charge of the lo
cal team next Spring.

Special to Tht Telegraph
New York, Dec. 10.—George 11. Gra
ham and the Tri-State League broke

activity of the Tri-State magnates in

favorable comment. When President

I meeting.
I At this session plans for next season
| were discussed. President Graham!
says Jack Deal wants to put a team in
Lancaster. Buck Freeman is after the
leadership of York, and Easton is beg
ging for admission. It is the belief
that with Jako Weitzel out of th«.
game and all contests played at Lauei
Park, Reading businessmen will back
a team. There has also been talk that
Williamsport and Altoona are getting
the baseball fever.
The Tri-State will meet In Harrls

day believes that next season will be a
record season for the Tri-State Iveague.

Famous American Naval
Author Dies Suddenly
Admiral A. T. Mahan, who for many
years has had an international repu
tation as a writer on naval subjects
died suddenly in Washington. His
work as naval commander did not
bring him much prominence, but his
book "The Influence of Sea Power
Upon History" made him known over
the world. The admiral was born
Sept. 27, 1840, at West Point, where
his father was a professor and an
expert on mathematical and engineer
ing subjects. He was appointed to
Annapolis from New York in 185G, and
he graduated in time to serve through
the Civil War.
His books on naval strategy, history,
and his opinions on international
politics made him influential through
out Europe, and his criticisms of the
British naval policy were closely
studied by the admiralty.

MR DECLARATION
IV COME W
Player Limit Rule Arouses Man
agers; Marquard to Be
Returned
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Dec. 10.—Declaration of
war by the National League against
the Federal invaders may. be given
stronger endorsement at to-day's ses
sions of the major body. While there
are some representatives of the na
tional body who favor a settlement, the
opinion prevails that Governor John
K. Tener will name the terms, and the
Feds will have to accept or fight.
One sensation was recorded yes
terday. Announcement was made
that the Federal League president had
sent word to .Manager "Muggsy" Mc-
Graw that they would return Mur
quard it' it was proved that the New
York Nationals owned Marquard by
contract. Indications are that Alar
quard will be returned to New York,
and the $1,500 advanced to the pitch
er by the Federal League, on advice
of Marquard's attorney, will be re
turned.
To Rescind Limit Rule
The new player limit rule may be
rescinded. Managers claim they can
not do business with twenty-one play
ers. John McGraw was especially bit
ter against the rule. He said that he
had signed forty-four players for next
year, sixteen ot' them to long term
contracts, which left him only a lee
way of five players to pick from the
new crop. He asserted that it was
next to impossible for him to select
the five best from the army of others
in so short a time as the rule allows.
At present the National League has
signed 272 players of which New York
has 44; Pittsburgh, 45: Boston, 29:
Philadelphia, 28; Brooklyn, 32; Cincin
nati, .10: Chicago, 35, and St. Louis,
32. This will mean that on May 1 the
eight clubs will have to get rid of 104
players. Where these men will go is
very doubtful, as the minor leagues are
retrenching- to the limit and have come
out flatfooted for smaller salaries, such
money in fact that erstwhile big lea
guers will hardly be attracted.
