KUiott, in this public declaration of a change that has been forecast for some time, makes one condition. fie insists that if he is to drop from under un-der for the purpose of giving the Oakland Oak-land club a new boss, he must have the right to negotiate for his own sale to one of the major league ball clubs. He backs this up with t he assertion that i he is positive that he can land with one I of the eastern clubs.
