Under these circumstances it is hard tobelieve that tie manager of the

Basebcll tab incorporated is sethtag more than a name but still the teasare wavering They want to believe thatthere has beer a manager secured te pilottheir ebaup Gas through the treacherousshoals of a baseball season they waatto believe that Loftua eventually meaaato arrive at the National Capital butIt is hard work

They have been told that Lotto was laDubueae that he would arrive here justa week that he was In Chicago and

that he would arrive positively lastnight They have bees told all thesethings and have believed them The de-

mon of skepticism however ta gnawingat their vitals sod shout two more pipedreams of this sort will bring the wholestructure of their conftdeace tumblingto the ground

Where Loftus sad what Is he dolagA little less than a week agoreceived that he would arrive oa a cer-

tain date There was much scurryingerased and preparations were made togive the new manager a rousing recep-tion lie failed to

tled down to await some word from thesea who will govern their team duringthe coming season None cane It eeuMeasily he thought that there te no suchperson as Loftiw for all the Washingtonfees could leers

This silence was followed by the report of a secret conference between Presi-dent Fred Postal Manager LenIN andDan Johnson president of the Leagueat Chicago This meeting was held be-

hind closed doors and nothing was madepublic concerning it

Following close upon title conferenceand shortly after the return of postal toDetroit there came a deluge of rumorsfrom the Wolverine City stating that theSessions were stilted for a shelf andthat Pittsburg hi I already bees selectedas Its successor This story was indig-nantly denied by local men interested Inthe club but still there was HO wordconcerning the whereabouts of Loftus

Finally it was announced that be wouldarrive last night and the situation oncemore grew tranquil Now it is said thatthe missing manager will reach here
