Up to date 32 play ers have been signed, one-half of whom will be called in the first of April for a month of practice according to the statement of President Kinsella. Davenport has lost Gagnier, an In fielder signed last fall, to Burlington a decision of Secretary Farrell. of the National ' commission having been handed 'down that effect. ' Swalm "will be with Davenport next season but not in the outfield, as he has decided to make a try for a box position. He has great speed.' Manager Kennedy is signing ah entirely new outfield. . Manager McFarland has signed new catcher for his Dubuque team. The man 'Is F. F. Tucker and hails from Waverly, N. Y. He played last season with the New York State league and is said to be a valuable backstop ojiviu uarran, me nuicner t wirier, nas signed up his contract with McFarland for next season. Mac has two exhibi Hon games booked with Milwaukee for April 7 and 8. lie will soon complete arrangements for four games with Freeport about the middle of April. He also expects to book exhibition games with St. Paul and Des Moines within fhe next few days. W. C. Keeley. who has been at the head of baseball in Dubuque since the club was organized, has resigned and Manager McFarland has a new boss. L. D. Mathes. who is the head of the Dubuque street car system, was elect ed president to succeed Keeley, and James Agnew is the new secretary of the club. The change does not "mean any change in policy at Dubuque, as Mathes and Keeley are closely con nected and have been the two men who practically controlled the club. The new president In an interview states hat Manager McFarland will not be interfered with in looking after team affairs and that Mack will be in full charge as under Keeley. DOPE FOR THE FANS Belden Hill and Snapper Kennedy are the only managers who have not announced the makeup of their teams for the season. President Sexton has received a let- er from Manager McCredie, of the Portland team, in which he repeats former statements that he is well sat- sfied with Jack Sweeney whom he purchased from Rock Island last sea son. Hereafter, he stated, he will strengthen his team from the minor leagues, having found Sweeney able to play circles around some of the men he bought from the National and Ameri can leagues and paid fancy prices for. If Lister, whom he has also purchased, makes good at first, he will have the strongest infield in the league. Swee ney, he says, is the best third baseman on the Pacific coast.

He was with Spring field and Peoria last year. Speaking of the schedules that have been submitted to the various Three Eye clubs for a choice the Bloomington Bulletin says: "Locally there Is con siderable dissatisfaction with both, as they hand it to the locals." That's the situation in Rock Island, too, as well as in Davenport and Cedar Rapids. In fact, unless some improvements are made before either is adopted the whole league is likely to find long be fore the end of the season that some thing has been "handed" to it. Indica tions are that it will not be entirely the fault of President Holland, either, in case this happens. Mr. Holland is ill now and unable to look after his busi ness affairs. It begins to look as though Ross Thornton will play ball in Decatur next season or he will not play at all. He has been holding out for a higher price than the association can see their way clear to pay him and it now remains to be seen what he will do.

Pittsburg offered Pitcher Charley Case to Brooklyn in exchange for Pitcher Harry Mclntyre, but was given a turndown. The deal would have been a good one for the Pirates had" It ;6ne through.

George Starnagle, who caught for Terre Haute daring the first two sea sons of the Three-Eye league and who was a member of the pennant winning team the second year, has been sold by Sioux City to "Ducky" Holmes for the'Iarter's new' team at Lincoln in the Western league. -.. . ...

Over 50 per cent of the guests of the hotel have taken advantage of the European plan since the privilege was provided for and this seems to be the general experience in not only tne large cities but those of Rock Island's class. The cafe will be operated as now and the main dining room continued, except that the European plan will pre vail throughout. We are indebted to the Ban Francis co Chronicle for a very entertaining let ter, written by a youthful American in Purls to his mother iu San Francisco, says the New York Post. If it had a title it would be. "How to Work the Newspapers." Its author is the fifteen- year-old adventurer the "Frisco Kid," who set out to go around the worttl and shine the shoes of all the princes and potentates who rule over the countries he visits. From Paris came this sug gestion to "Dear mamma: Say, now, here's a chance for youse to make a piece of change for yourself. One of youse get the S. F. Chronicle with my picture in it and go to the manager of each newspaper and show hliu my pic ture and "ask him how much he will give you if you tell him where I am. .ud don't let him know where I am until he writes out a note saying how much he will." The boy advises his mother to sell his photographs for $2.f0 each. He tells her that the London Express paid him for his story and declares that she can do as well In San Francisco. But he, doubts his mother's business sagac ity. He thinks she does not quite un derstand the significance of his exploit. He goea on to explain: Hum llntl Kxprrlruee. It Is a Novelty. Something out of the ordinary. Something new to tho Public. But I don't think youse un derstand it. I had all kinds of experi ence in my travels. Every experience in the workl. and some in the News Papers. So do as I ask you, and here is the way to approach the manager. Ask to see the manager. If he says what is it? show hfm my picture in tho chronickle and tell him you are my mother and if he wants to know where I am and whose shoes I sbined lately. tell him you know and ask him how much it is worth 'to mm. Pont you make the Price. But let him because you don't know how much It is worth. I wish I was there I would show rouse how to make a piece of change for my selr. oil tue manager may say $15.00 or he may say he's full up on space, or some thing like that. Then he may say $20 or Si. Then tell him you will coine back and let him know Then you go to the next paper and Do the same and the oue that gives you the most do business with him, and it he wants my address tell him." This "Frisco kid" had news to send, and surely it was worth whatever his fan lly might get for It. He sends It in a brief postscript: "I didn't shiue King Edward yet. I will shine him when 1 go back to London. I shined Pres Le- bout of France the other day, and I shined 'American Ambessery of Lou don and Consul of - Southampton and the lord mayer of London and the mayer of Havre france and the Con sult and the Gen Consult of Paris and the American Ambessery."
