THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9.1897. S r KANSAS TEAM AT LINCOLN. STRONGEST "WESTERN TEAMS TO MEET XnT S YTIRDAY. JaylinrrUera Picked im "Winners e- lirimktt Men Confident Oinnliu Snorts Think KnnHns Sbonld Be on OiIilN-On Fniorlte. The meeting of the Kansas and Nebraska University footbail teams at Lincoln, Neb., next Saturday will be the football cent of the heasan in the Middle AVest, Tne earae gives promise of being one of the hardest fougnt in the history of "Western football, as the two teams are conceded to be the mot evenly matched of any in this part of the- country- Nebraska plujs quick, snappy ball. Its rush line Is said to be a marvl of strength, while the men back of the line are said to possess w eight, (strength, flectness of foot and endurance. "When the Nebraska. "Wes leyan team plaved in Kansas City last Saturday Coach Thomas declared that Ne braska tinlverlty had the strongest t"am Of any college In the "West. He unhesitat ingly predicted a victory for Nebraska. Of course, the estimate of Thomas must be taken with a grain of allowance, owing to the prejudice he might hae in favor of a team from his own s-tate. Followers of the game in Kansas City and in the state of Kantas will not believe that Ne braska can wrest a victory from the mighty Ja hawkers until they tee it done. Kamas is plajing a remarkably fast game: the plajers are fleet of foot, exercise rare skill and work together like a linely con structed piece of machinery. The content gives promise of attracting a great irowd to Lincoln, as excursion trains will be run Into that city from all over the state, 'vhile many lovers of the game will probably go up from Kansas to cheer the crimson on to victory. It will be the hardest fought game of the jear for Kansas, and the re sult will determine the Western champions for 1897. The -victory of Kansas over Iowa gave the Jaj hawkers a tremendous boost along the fecalc of standing of Western teams and attracted favorable comment in many of the Eastern newspapers. A Ictory at Lincoln would certainly entitle Kansas to consideration from some of the crack Eastern elevens and there is no doubt that the men from the prairie state could give an excellent account of themselves against the most formidable elevens of the East. The Pennsjlvanla stjle of playing adopted by Kansas has proven to be a big success and eierjone will be Interested In watch ing the bearing it has upon the progress of next Saturday's game. The Omaha, "World-Herald Fays that while Nebraska will give Kansas the biggest scare of the season, the Ja hawkers will probably vin. The Lincoln papers are loyal to the Ne braska tram and figure on a pretty good elzed score in favor of the Nebraskans. Omaha sports say the Kansas team should be an odds-on faorite. Football games of Saturday produced no astonishment and but little surprise, sajs a Chicago writer. That Yale would defeat the men from the Chicago Athletic Asso ciation, good team as the latter is. few doubted. The Indians' stand against Penn sylvania was unexpected and seems al together the most creditable performance I that any minor team has shown this -ear. ' But Pennslvanla. like the rest of them, must have its day off. and it was the good fortune of the Indians to meet the red and blue upon that day. Cornell had the same luck against Princeton the week be fore: Saturday I.afavette. which has plajed a tie with Cornell, met the Tiger S?.dt,'ras lRten UP alive. In the West. Michigan set prophets guessing by dupli cating Illinois' score against Purdue, and Wisconsin and Chicago did as was ex pected of them. Although Wisconsin scored only eleven points against Reloit. no hostile foot trod the Badgers' goal line, and Chicago, running up her usual big total, as usual also allowed her oppon ents, the men from Notre Dame, to score. Kast and West Saturday showed deci sively the general development of the field gcal as a factor in the game. Quarter back Hudson or the Indians has either the best luck or Is the best man at the drop K'ck in the country. His two succesful trials against Pennsylvania brought his to tal up to three, against the bet team In the East. But he Is not alone. Hdlrd's goal liom the field comes almost as regularly as l'ritcttonlpIavK: so does Young's of Cor ned. In the West O'Dea and Herschberger rely on the same play. Hannan of Michi gan employs it frequently and now Notre JJanie has shown Its effectiveness for a rniroi team. It is to be hoped that the chpnged rules will rive the Held coal a greater value than the touchdown (roil, nnd ir that event, with the greater devel opment that is bound to follow, no team car. regard its goal as successfully guard ed unless the opponents are kept out-lde o( the thirty-yard line. Bevond that line most drop kicks are guess work. Of all the Eastern games Saturday thut ?l . ; I" vlew of the near approach of the iule-Harvard contest, is the most In. tertsllng. It is a pity, for purposes of com parison, that the relative strength of the c. A. A. nnd the Eastern college teams is rot- more definitely known than it is.

The trutcriul seems to be ready at hand, at New Haven, and there has been no talk or diminution of "Yale pluck": but friction among the coaches and the difficulty of de veloping the team with but one "vcteian plater to point the wav have had the usual result. Now. however, that the coaUies have buried their differences and the new jren have hail knowledge of the game hammered into them there will come u change. If the dates of the Harvard and Princeton games -were shifted. Yale, though fiure of on defeat, might look with con fidence to one vletorv. As it Is. It is .1 question whether it will not he two defeats. One thing is certain after the Harvard cume ulo will play 20 per cent better foot ball.

"The great American trouble Is dyspep sia." No one realizes this more than the mis erable sufferers who drag out painful ex istences. The body requires help, strength and assistance. It calls for nutriment, but meets no response, because the stom ach Is unable to digest, assimilate and turn into blood food that is forced into it. What then can the poor sufferer do? It is useless to take more food, because the broken down stomach cannot take care of what it already has. There can be but one answer to this question, and that Is to assist the stom ach to properly do the work for which it was created. Do jou ask how? The an swer is Mmple. There can be but one way and that is to help the stomach to help Itsrlf. Not by drugs, not by mineral washes; not even by misaging. but by constant and healthful stimulation. In this way alone can the overworked stom ach be restored. There Is but one pure, healthful and medicinal stimulant now known to the public and the profession, and that is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. This whiskey' should be taken either before, after or with the meals, and vou can readily see how- by gently stimulating the stomach when the food is taken, it enables the stomach to digest the food and thus pre vent dyspepsia and the troubles which follow in its wake. It will be well for every reader to re member thee truths and also to rtmem ber that it is the only medicinal whiskey which can he depended unon to accom plish just what j ou most require. the teams of 'S2.

Patsy Hnler Whipped In Enclnnd Boxlnir Contests Prohibited In ChlenKO Gossip of Chojn- slci-Goddnrd Ilnttle. St. Louis, Nov. 8 Boj d Frazer, of this city, has challenged Robert ritzsimmons, whose company is showing at the Standard theater, to a punching bag contest for Jl.OOO a side, to take place in either St. Louis, Chicago or New York, with George Slier as referee. Fitzsimmons has taken the chal lenge under consideration. New Castle, Eng, ov. S. Will Curley, of England, to-night defeated Fatsy Haley, of America, in a boxing contest of twenty rounds. The contest caused great excite ment in sporting circles and the attendance broke the record. The betting favored the American. Curley had thel advantage of two' and a half inches in height, which pre vented his adversary from dispiajlng his cleverness to the full extent. The ex changes in the early part of the battle were only slight. Curley being much superior in sciir-ce, held a big lead. In the final rounds Halej- made a plucky attempt to get on terms with his opponent, but It was of no avail. Tho latter maintained his smart at tacks to the very close of the twentieth round and secured a decided victory. Chicago. Nov. S Chief of Police Kipley has issued an order prohibiting all boxing contests in the future. When Mayor Har rison was asked regarding Chief Kipley's order, he said: "The order meets with mv approval, but it does not mean the total abolition of box ing contests in Chicago. . It does mean, however, the cessation of Indiscriminate sparring matches in liarns and back rooms of saloons In all sections of the titv with out leave or license. It is the policy of the administration to allow sparring matches for points, a limited number of rounds, with big gloves. These exhibitions mut be giv en after proper permits have been secured and will be held under police supervision and regulation. Such exhibitions as were recently given at Tattersalls" can do no harm, and permits will be issued for others of the same kind." Much talk and scant action have so long been the distinguishing characteristic of the heavy weight brigade that the Choyn-ski-Jefteries battle, slated to take plice in Frisco on the 16th, will come as a welcome relief to followers of the game, who have grown weary watching the giants of the squared circle pose and abuse each other. That it will be a slashing encounter is beyond doubt. Choynski s appearance be tween the ropes as a principal has ever been the signal for a hard fought mill, while Jeffries, joung. powerful, and am bitious, is certain to do his utmost to win from his starch opponent. To be pro claimed victor in this contest would mean to Jeffries a higher step on tho ladder of pugilistic fame than he has jet had the chance to gain. On the other hand, such a consummation would prove to be little short of absolute calamity to the worthy Joe. who by his defeat of "Denver" Ed Smith and others of that ilk has managed to redeem to a large extent the loss of reputation he sustained before Peter Maher. The latter boxer and Choynski are especially fortun ate in the possession of friends whose faith In them has remained unshaken. It is a remarkably cold day that does not bilng forth a defiance from one or the other to the great stars of the profession defiances backed by a sufficient supply of cfnent coin of the realm to insure respect. Beth have stains upon their respective rec ords which will take time and trouble to erase, Corbett, Goddard and Maher figuring as conquerors in Choynski's case, not for getting the so-called draw with Fitzsim mons in the East, when police intervention alone saved the Californian from a knock out. Against this can be set Maher's two decisive defeats at the hands of the sorrel topped freak from Australia, one by Joe Goddard. and a. very unsatisfactory go villi "Thunderbolt" Smith, of Buffalo. N. Y.. in which the Irishman shbwed to poor advantage. Maher's coming match "with "Tut" Ryan ought to furnish a winner worthy of the prowess of the -victor in the ChonskI-Jef-feries affair. Jim Hall, who will train Ry an, is of course quoted as sajing that the Australian will surely win: but when Hall acted in a like capacity for Maher prior to the litter's last engagement with 'Fitzsim mons, he was equally sanguine regarding his man's chances. "Can't hurt that big fellow." remarked Hall to a spectator in the training quarters, when the -visitor commented upon the cloud of dust Maher's football playing scattered abroad, and ex pressed a fear as to the effect on the pu gilist's lungs. "Can't hurt him; he'd lick 'em all yet." Which sounded convincing. But Just what the enthusiastic James thought when Maher's head bounced mer rily against the ring floor nt Langtrv and Referee Slier cried "nine out" history sajeth not. Meanwhile the champion and ex-cham-plon remain In peaceful seclusion, occasion ally emerging Into print to remind the pub lic that they are still in existence. Jim Corbett is especially brilliant in this direc tion, handling a fluent pen with the easy grace of a copng clerk. Of late, however, his press efforts have become more sub dued, and less threatening in tone. In deed, in a recent letter to a leading sport ing inpeiiJie of the pompadour hair actuil ly went so far as to say: "I believe Mr. Fitzsimmons can whip any other man in tho world except me." It was the natural outcome of a panic which seized the writer upon hearing a report to the effect that the wily Bob intends waiting until his in fant son has reached years of maturity, when he will deed the ch impionship title over to him and retire forever from the literary troubles of the prize ring. NATIONAL LEAGUE MAGNATES. They Will Meet In Philadelphia To day Temple Cup Problem to lie Solved. Philadelphia, Nov. 8 The National League and American Association of Base ball Clubs will begin i'ts annual meeting in this citv to-morrow. Standing out promi nently on the list of subjects to be consid ered is the Temple cup question. None the less prominent is a mass of evidence con cerning the row d Ism of playing on the field, which Increased last jear to such pro portions as to disgust the public. There will be more or less talk of having the Western teams make three trips East and the Eastern teams three trips West next jear, instead of two, as has been the custom. The Philadelphia clip's gate re ceipts question will also come up. Its three j ears' special privilege, by which it settled at visiting clubs on a 23 cent basis, having expired. The national board will meet to-morrow morning to disentangle disputes over draft ed plajers. An appeal from the Western League. aking the hoard to recommend at the league some modification of the drafting sjsteni will be discussed. W. C. Temple, of Pittsburg, who gave the National League plajers the trophy which bears his name, has announced that he will be at the meeting to protest against the abuses which have been creeping more and more into the games plaj ed for the cup. He sajs that in the very first contest for the cup. In 1SS1, between New York and Baltimore, one important condition, that of the division of the gate receipts, was violated, some of the plajers. instead of standing on the provision of CO per cent of the receipts to the winners and 40 per cent to the losers, agreeing to divide on a CO per cent bisis. Mr. Temple sajs that ho asked the league to punish these plaj--ers. but was told to let the matter pass. Don't Be Persuaded into paying a high price for a 5wiss watch. Waltham Watches are the most accurate made. The "RIVERSIDE" movements particularly recom mended. For sale by all retail jewelers. that a similar offense would probablj' not be committed again. That, in his opinion, was a serious mistake, for had the of fending plaj ers been - unished at the time no further offenses wouln hove been com mitted and there would nave been no scan dal this fall. Some club owners are op posed to the Temple cup altogether: oth ers are In favor of it and will work for its continuance. Edward Hanlon, manager of the Balti more team, which has taken part in everj' series yet plajed for the cup, naturally v.U! use his energies in support of it, and he has gone so far as to formulate a new plan by which he hopes to regain the en couragement of those who have expressed their opposition to the way matters have been conducted. Mr. Hanlon has adopted the suggestion ot A. H. Soden. of the Boston club, that the clubs contribute a fund of JI2.O00, to be divided among the plaj-ers of the three leiuing clubs the champions to get $6,000. th second club $4,000 and the third club $-000. This amount could be raised by each club subscribing $1,000 or bj- setting aside a cer tain percentage of the gate receipts of ev erj game, saj- 2 per cent. If at the end of the season the amount exceeded $12,000, the balance could be returned to the clubs in proportion to the respective amounts paid in. Although $12,000 would be divided among the first three teams, the teams whlcn finished first and second would play for the Temple cup just the same as usual, without, however, their receiving anj' pait of the receipts The National League would manage the games and take all the money, and if. perchan"e. the amount should be greater than J12.000 the excess amount would be so much clear gain for the various club owners themselves. NATIONAL ARBITRATION BOARD. Its Meeting; Lnxt Msht a Preliminary to the Annual Seanlon of the Leuicue To-day. Chnreoal Fumes. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. S The National League meeting, which had Us preliminarj-, or curtain raiser, in a session of the arbi tration boara to-night, has drawn quite a representative gathering to Philadelphia. The leaguo proper w ill begin its annual ses sions to-morrow. The magnates had all arrived to-night, excepting those of Wash ington. Baltimore and St. Louis. The pros pective representatives of these league cit ies, the Wagner brothers. Von Der Horst and Hanlon and Von Der Ahe, will arrive to-morrow. The representatives of the other clubs now here, in additloq to the netional president. Nick Young, are Soden and Conant. of Boston: Charles II. Bvrne ana r. Abell. of Brooklyn; Andrew Freed man, of New York: Colonel John I. Roger, and Reach, of Philadelphia; William Kerr, o Pittsburg; Harry Pulllam, of Louisville; John T. Brush, of Cincinnati; James A. Hart, of Chicago, and F. De Haas Robison. of Cleveland. The newspaper talent is also 011 hand in force, special correspondents being present from nearly all the league cities. Taking it all in all, It is one of the largest attended meetings held for j-ears, although, ot course, only the magnates tlemselves get inside the portals to hear or participate in the deliberations over the n.ooted baseball questions and affairs. The at bltration board, which consists of Messrs. Y'oung. Robison. Hart. Bjrne, Brush and Soden. did not go into session until 9 o'clock to-night. . . , The board of arbitration remained in ses sion until after midnight. In the dispute over the services of Second Baseman Ea gan, the board decided that the plajer rightfully belonged to Pittsburg and awarded him to that club. The board de clared that the Brookljn club, under the agreement existing between Pittsburg and Sjracuse. had no right to negotiate with Sjracuse forEagan's services and the ileal between those clubs, which also included the transfer of Cannvan to Syracuse, was declared null and void. A number of the representatives of minor league clubs who were in the hotel were called into the board's meeting room for a conference in relation to the petition of the minor leagues for a modification of the present drafting rule. Those who repre sented the minor leagues, all of whom entered into the discussion of the question, were Presidents Powers. Johnson. Bar rows and Murnane. and Messrs Kuntz, of Sjracuse; Ellis, of Newark, and McCar thy and O'Neill, of Montreal. After hearing their views the board, upon suggestion of Mr. Hart, asked the minor league men to resolve themselves into convention some time during the pres ent league meeting and agree upon a form of amendment to the constitution on the subject of drafting and to present this in writing to the board for itsconslderation. The matter is therefore llkelj- to be dis posed of before the league meeting ad journs, and it Is believed "will be wholly satisfactory to the minor leagues, Clinmplnimlilp Billiard Tournament.

How n Dojc That Should Have Been Burn n Retriever Prevented Trouble. From the Omaha World-Herald. Joe Teahou, traveling passenger agent of the Wabah, has returned from a trip through the state, and tells this ptorj-- "As wo were approaching Talmage the other day a l.-dy with a poodle dog came Into the smoker. A traveling man called her attention to the character of the car. and told her she had better go Into one of the ethers. She declared she was going to re main right there, and she told him he must not light and smoke the pipe he was filling with tobicco. He opened the window and calmly lit his pipe, and was puffing away when she leaned over and snatched the pipe from his mouth and threw it out of the window. The traveling man was at a white heat with rage, and. turning around, grabbed the poodle and chucked it out of the window. Then she went on the warpath. She declareel that she would have him arrested at Talmage, where she said, she knew everybodj-. and he said If she eliel he would have her arrested for stealing his pipe. The argument was hot and heavv, and when thej- got off the train they rustled around for the town marshal and finally found him, and were telling their troubles when the poodle came run ning up the track with the pipe in its mouth.

Deny That Thej Ask More Than the District Schedule nnd Declare That the Mine Is Exceed ing! Dunserous. To The Journal. In answer to Mr. Howard M. Holden's re cent article in .The Journal giving the com pany's side of the trouble at the Brush Creek coal mine, the miners have something to say. Mr. Holden sajs in the first place that a strike occurred in September, 1896. in regard to Tvages. That Is true. The strike occurred because the company refused to pay us the regular winter price of J1 12 per ton, which should have been paid from Sep tember 1 each jear. After the men had staid out until September 26. the companj gave us J1.12 for three months and then Jl till March 15 ot thh jear. From that date till September 1. 1897. we received S7 cents, and on September 1, when we asked the regular winter price of $1 12. Mr. Holden gave us no answer. He told the agents that he has been gathering up scabs and that there was no strike.on at the mine. How is it that the condition existing on September 1. 1S96, was called a strike bj- him and now he sajs there is no strike w hen the same condition exists? The men are out now for the ame thing they asked last year and Mr. Holden knows It. JCow. as to the question of arbitration that Mr. Holden is alwajs harping on. In tho first place, arbitration, as we see it. ought to work something like this: All three men on the board of arbitration ought to understand the question arbitrated. The companj- wants to pick one man. the miners another and thete two to pick the third. Who Is the companj 's man? Is is some-bodj- who understands something about mining? Oh no: it is some man In the city and the third man probablj- has never leen down a coal shaft in his life. Is such a man capable of sajing what would be just to all concerned? We think not. for if the companj- desired, it could hx un a .set of books to suit itself. AVe do not saj- that is the waj- of the Brush creek companj-, but still It could be done that wav. Last March we had a taste of arbitration. AVe asked for Jl a ton; the companj- wanted to pay 874 cents; we arbitrated the question and what did we get? We got left and the company got just what It wanted. We do not wish to be understood as sajing n word against the board of arbitration, for it did without doubt what it thought was right. But excuse us ou the subject of arbitration; v, e h.ive got eough. Mr. Holden saj-s an agreement was made between the companj- and the men that there was to be neither n strike nor a lock out without notice to the other side. That Is true, but the company iolated the agree ment, not once, but several times. Mr. Holden saj-s the men violated the agree ment by quitting work without notifjing the companj-. This Is not true, for the companj- was notified. Mr. Holden saj's most of the men have quit and gone elsewhere, nnd that but twelve or tifteen men are left near the mines, and seek to dlgnifv their action by a strike for higher wages. In the first place, we aro asking onlj- the same as we alwaj-s had for mining at this time of jear, and Instead of there being but twelve or fifteen old men at the mines, there are at least lift j- that would be readj- to go to work ns soon as we get our just demands. Mr. Holden's attitude toward the; Indus trial CounUl Is rather a peculiar one. In one place he tells how much he thinks of that honorable bodv and in another place he rather censures It for the action it took on the boj-cott. but we think the Industrial Council can take care of itself. Mr. Holden saj-s we demand more than tho district schedule of wages. Tho coal at the Brush creek mines is a great deal harder to dig than anj- coal vein In the district, as it sticks to the top and has all got to be cut off with a pick, which takes as much time as to mino It. and that is all extra work. In other mines the coal loosens from the top. and even If the companj- does have to paj-1 cent a bushel more to get this coal dug. It can and does sell the coal right here at the shaft for from 2 to 3 cents per bushel more than at other places in tho district. Mr. Holden "ajs that the mine is not dan gerous and that the state mine inspector sajs that whatever gas is here N reKCered harmless on account of the air in the mlns. I.nst winter three iren vv re burned liv gas so badlj thit thej- vver laid up for weeks and came near dvlns. ThWr names are John Coulter. Willis Phillips and Thorn is TIbbet. The companv paid them their wages and the doctors' bills. Still the gas Is not dangerous Of couse. it is harmless to Mr. Holden. sitting in his office, but If he had to work In it, he might see it a little different. In the state mine Inspector's report for 1KM. on page 164. there is an account of -an explosion at this mine on March 2 of that jear. in which four men were killed. Their names were Frank Duggin. Eugene Pai ker. Jrrrj- Tuller and AV. Sattler. Several others were badly burned, in the last few jears a number of men and mules have been burned. Mr. Holden and the othei officials of the company know- these facts to be true. WILLIAM SMITH. A. GRANJHON, HUGH SHAAV. Committee. MEDICAL TBUTMEHT OR TRIAL To Any Reliable Man.
