Never before have so many sheep

Rube Waddell, the famous pitcher of
the champion Philadelphia Athletics,
may be sold or traded to the Boston
American team before the beginning of
the next championship campaign. Con
nie Mack, manager of the Athletics, was
In Buffalo in conference with Manager
Collins of the Bostons, and the deal
whereby Waddell will become a mem
ber of the Puritans may be announced
soon.
One of the reasons assigned for
Mack's willingness to let Waddell go Is
the coldness of the Philadelphia fans
toward Rube. When the big twkler
broke devn last fall part of the Quaker
fans thought his ailment was not gen
uine, although the management was
thoroughly convinced that the famous
"southpaw" was "all in" at the finish
of the season. On account of Waddell's
eccentricities and desire to stand high
in the estimation of the rooters Mana
ger Mack Is afraid that Waddell would
not be at his best if the fans .were In
different about his work.
"Rule has got to be the whole show
wherever he is," wild Mnck, "and If the
Philadelphia people failed next spring
to warm up to his pitching and rave
over his actions on the ball Cold he
might soon lose heart In his work, and
so I think he would do better work with
some other team, but the deal Is by no
means consummated."
President Johnson of the American
league wa9 with Mack. He announced
his staff of umpires for the coming sea
son. The name of Jack Sheridan heads
the list, although that veteran has not
yet signed his contract. If he signs the
staff will iuch'.de Sheridan, Connolly,
O'Longlillu. Hurst, Connor, Evans and
Conihan. Jack McCarthy Is not to be
retained next season, probably on ac
count of the numerous rows he had
with players.
Wicker Sign 1000 Contract.
The great pitcher, Bob Wicker, has
signed his contract to pitch for the Chi
cago Nationals in 1900 and during a
talk with President Murphy said he
considered the team much stronger
with the addition of Moran, Sheckard
and Stelnfeldt than it was last season.
Former Manager Frank Solee was
heard from, too, his letter from Fay
wood, N. M., reaching the o?nce of the
Cubs' president the other morning. Mr.
Selce congratulated the Cubs upon the
acquisition of Sheckard and statad that
the Chicago Nationals looked stronger
