OFFICERS A SECRET. Leaders Chosen But Their Iden tity Not Disclosed. Men Fear They Might. Be Made Examples Of. New York, June 12. Once there was a brotherhood of baseball players. It had its day and died. Now there is another organization of ball playing talent. Its day has just begun. At the Sturtevant house, at a meet ing of delegates from the eight clubs comprising the National league, it was decided to combine the young men who bat and throw for a living into the Protective Association of Baseball Players. Delegates were present from the teams aR follows: ? . New York Davis, Doyle and Mercer. Brooklyn Keeler, Kelley and Jen nings. Boston Duffy, Collins and Clarke. Ph'iad.-lnhia Delehanty, , Donohue and Murnhy. Cincinnati Corcoran, Irwin and Phil lips. Pittsburg Ziminer, Ely and O'Brien. St. Louis Young, Heidrick and Bur kett. Chicago Griffith and Callahan. McOraw was prevented from attend ing by reason of the injury 'he received Saturday, and Ryan of Chicago, who was to have been a delegate, visited friends in Clinton, Mass. Daniel Harris, the New York repre sentative of Samuel .Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, ad dressed the men as to what was nec essary to become an affiliated body of that organization and what they mig;ht accomplish. The players were in session five hours, and decided not to ally them selves to the American Federation at present. They assert they have no intention of antagonizing the league club own erf, and have organized merely for self-protection. Eventually they ex pect to Ret all minor league players with them. They believe the game will become more sportsmanlike and that there will be less "spiking" of players and less rough ball. Officers were elected, but the play ers absolutely refused to name them, apparently being of opinion that they might become shining marks Tor the league club owners. The next meeting will be held on the second or third trip of the western clubs to the east. K. U. FOOTBALL TEAM. Some of the Probable Players of the 1000 Eleven. Lawrence, Kas.,. June 12. Fay H. Moulton, of Marion, Kas., is to man are the football eleven next season, and he is confident of having- as good a team as K. U. sent out this year. Manager Moulton has been quietly at work for pome time on the team for next year, but he is veiy reticent about what he Is doinpr. In reprard to a coach he thinks that Walter Winter, a gradu ate of Yale in the class of '85, will prob ably be the man selected. inter coached the Minnesota university team n '86. the year the Minnesotiansi de feated the Kansans by a score of 12 to 0. Another man mentioned for the dace is Johnny Outland, an old K. L bov who hails from Minneapolis, Kas. For two years he has played on tne Pennsylvania team and won distinc tion. Amonc others whom Manager Moul ton tried to secure to coach the Kan sans are: Kennedy, who was captain and Quarterback on the Chicago, uni versity team last year, but he had made other arrangements; Mortimer, who played tackle on the same team, but he bad nreviouslv aereed to coacn Colo rado university team: Edwarus. who was cantain and eniard on the Prince ton team last year: Kicnaru&on, wno played right half for Brown, and Mur nhv. another hirown man. The Kansar.s win prooaoiy suner tne loss of five of their best players next year. Smith and Woodward, the two big guards, have played their last same football. Tom Smith is now deputy sheriff of Brown, county and has given up his school work and Woodward has also quit school, captain Avery was graduated this year from the engineer ing department and has a position waiting for him. Wade Moore, who was such a strong favorite both on the gridiron and the diamond, has ac rented a position in Joplin. and Tucker, the other hair or tne y team, nas moved to California, so that it is not likely that he will be at K. U. next year. Wilcox -will captain tne tearri next year and play tackle. Of the other last year's men who will be back Nofsinger and Algie will play ends. Meahan cen ter or guard. Hess center or tacKie, Owen quarter and Buzzi and Moulton halts. Jenlcenson and uavin win aiso be back and try for the team. Of the new jner. who will figure in the make up of the team Orwig, who did good work on the scrub team last year, stands a S"Od chance of making the team. Orwig comes from Independence, Kas., and is a new man in sch-x.l. Hamsey ard Riggs, who played on the Topeka high school team la?t .year, will be at K. U. next year, as will also Mor ton, a nephew of Meahan's, who will try for tackle. Games have been ar ranged with Nebraska, at Lincoln, No vember 1&: Wisconsin, at Madison, Oc tober 27, and others. M'GOVERN AND WHITE Will Meet at Coney Island This Tues day Nighjb. New York, June 12. Sporting men are looking forward with a great deal of in terest to the fight at the Coney Island club, between Terry McGovern and Tommy White of Chicago. The boys met once before in Chicago, and so evenly did they fight that the referee declared the bout a draw. On that occasion White surprised Mc Govern by the wonderful showing he made. His ability to take punishment and land on McGovern surprised every body. White who arrived from Chicago a few days ago with his manager, Lou Houseman, has been putting on the fin ishing touches to bis preparation for the "go" at Coney Jfcland. He is in fine physical condition, hard as nails and down to the requisite weight of 122 pounds, at which the boys will fight. McGovern is also fit. He t.as been training for the last two months. His work indicates that he is just as strong and clever as ever. That McGovern ex peets White to make a hard fight is ev idenced by his answer to a question put to him. When asked how long he thought the bout would last, he said: '"I think it will go about 15 rounds. White is a clever two-handed fighter, and a very plucky fellow. He can take a lot of punishment, and I will have to land on him hard and often to secure the decision, but I am sure I will put him to sleep inside of 15 rounds." Johnny White, who is associated with Charley White, in refereeing boxing contests held at the Broadway Athletic club, has been selected as the referee of the 25 round bout between Tom Shar key and Gus Ruhlin, which takes place at the Seaside Sporting club, on June 26. DIXON VS. YANGEE. Little Chocolate and Tipton Slasher Have a Bout Tonight. Chicago, June 12. There will be a decision in the Dixon-Yangec go at Tat tersall's tonight, according to a state ment made yesterday by the manager of Yanger, as well as by persons identi fied with the Tattersail's club. Followers of the "Slasher" are more confident than ever that the little Italian will get the decision, and this in face of odds of 2 to 1 in favor of Dixon at the time the "little chocolate" struck the city. Down among the South Water street merchants Yanger has secured a following which threatens to gobble up all the Dixon money in sight. . Some of the backers of Dixon dis covered Saturday afternoon that there was money to be had on the street de voted to vegetables and chickens, ' but this was covered so quickly that be fore all the bets had been placed Benny Yanger was the favorite. The bets made were mostly in small amounts, $50 to $40 being the largest wager re corded. At the different resorts, however, Dixon is still the favorite, but his back ers refuse to go better than 4 to 5. Yanger's condition is most reassuring io nis menus, ana mere ate not a lew among the old timers, even, who think that the Italian stands a good show or gaining the decision. x anger s campaign when he gets into the ring with Dixon has been mapped out. "The Slasher" will go for the body, and he will make a rushing fight of it. As a matter of fact, 1 anger knows very little about any other style of fighting. He thinks by setting a hot pace he is bound to get close to Dixon, and that is all he wants. DISOBEYED ORDERS. Pete Clay Will Ride the Grand Ohio Mare No More. New York. June 12. P. Clay will not ride the thunder cloud mare Imp again in all his life. P. Clay, who became known to fame though hi3 ability to sit still and slumber and not wake up the sleepy mare, has been discharged. It all came about through the little black imp's inability to know when he had a good thing. A day or two before the race in which Jean Beraud sailed under the wire just ahead of the amazing dusky apparition from Chilicothe, Trainer Brossman had P. Clay hoisted into the saddle for the purpose of working out the racer for the Beraud contest. He instructed the di minutive jockey to ride her in certain time and to watch closely for signals in order to regulate the pace. P. Clay had learned of a deal between Brossman and Arthur Featherstone under which Jockey O'Connor was to ride Imp when ever Mr. Featherstone had no norse of his own in the impending race. P. Clay determined to get even with his employ er then and there. Over on the track P. Clay sent Imp as fast as she had ever moved under neath him, urging her at every stride and paying not the slightest attention to the frantically waving handkerchief, which was intended to induce him to slow up. Brossman at first thought some mistake had been made and that his prodigy was running away with her rider. But the attitude of the jockey as he bent over, sending Imp along at the top of her speed, soon convinced him to the contrary. Brossman gritted his teeth a good deal during the rest of the journey, and when the jockey, with a grin of satisfaction, slipped out of the saddle after it was over.he was prompt ly fired. Thus it happens that Imp has succumbed to Jean Beraud, for if she had not received the gruelling bestowed by P. Clay there might possibly have been a different ending to Tuesday's splendid contest between V. C. Whit ney's noble horse and the Ohio mare. . MICHAEL FAST AS EVER. Midget Cyclist Issues a Challenge to the World's Riders. New Bedford, Mass.," June 12. Jimmy Michael rode a five-mile exhibition and left immeaiately for Manhattan beach, where lie will take up his training quarters. Michael went his first mile in 1:81, the fastest ever made by an N. C. A. rider, and. the faste3t ever made behind the pace of a gasoline jnotorcycle. His second mile was in 1:36 2-5, the third in 1:39 3-5. fourth in 1:43 and fifth in 1:44; total time, 8:12. Michael followed his machine as pret tily as of old. He today issued a chal lenge to the middle distance riders of the world to a ride of a series of races behind motor tandems, each man to supply his own tandem, and the dis tance not less than twenty miles nor more than fifty miles. The only re striction is the use of the regulation pacing machine called for in the rules of the National Cycyling association. Two weeks after the acceptance of the challenge he will race the first man who responds on the track offering the best inducements. Michael says he can ride as fast, ir not faster, than ever be fore. WEAK WITH THE STICE Chicago Club's Record at the Bat is Very Poor. Chicago, June 12. Batting records of tne cmcagi) club to date show that C larke Griffith, the anarchist, leads the team in stick work, while Mertes. hav ing played the whole season, is the real leader, with a percentage of .33S to the .StiO which Griffith has acquired. Ganzel, the new first baseman, continues to hit in a highly satisfactory fashion, but the weakness of Bradley.Green, McCormick, Clingman and Childs tells the story of many beatings. The club average is but .274 by far the lightest in the league, - Gar.zel Is the real fielding leader of me oiuo. wnite the nelding figures of the whole team are as unsatisfactory as the batting. Menefee now ranks as the ciud s leading pitcher. National League Race. Nothing has interested the farts who have tried to keep track of the National "so race during tne past week as much as the wonderful gyrations of the orphans. Boston was riven Its first glimpse of Loftus' aggregation during the wet., ana to tne Deaneaters the antics of the rough riders have been in the na ture or a circus. The climax came Fri day, when Chicago secured three home runs and three two-baggers, and still were unable to beat the ex-champions, who got omy six mis oi eananan. Boston re mains where it has been all week in sixth place. Chicago's only chance to win seems to oe witn OriHith In the box. The Orphans' visit to Boston lent helping hand to Seiee's men, and the Beaneaters are now in eood trim for the rest. The strength of, Boston might best be judged bv the set-to with St.. Louis, reckoned as the strongest team in the West, and touted for championship hon ors. St.- Louis had a hard time while in Boston, and left with its feathers badly ruffled. Chicago's visit to Brooklyn also proved prori table to the bridegrooms. As hiis been the case right along. Chicago's infield pre sented the lost games to the Champions, seemingly without' compunction and with out regret. Loftus has now made a change, and his new venture with Mc Cormiek at third and Clingman back at short will be watched with interest. Philadelphia Is on the slide, due most likely to Napoleon Ia Joie's absence from second base. The Quakers haw found even Cincinnati a hard nut to crack, and the Pirates from Fitlsburg'.have- proved quite unpalatable. Pittsburg, by the way, is plugging right along, and St. Louis is having fair luck. Brooklyn is keeping out of tha way of Pittsburg, but that is all. "Across the bridge from the trolley dodg ers, FreeOman's outfit keeps up its repu tation. It has now quite a respectable grip on last place, and there is small like lihood that the pygmies will be dispos sessed of the honor soon. Cincinnati is making a brave effort to keep out of harm's way, and has fairly succeeded. American League Race. Slight changes have marked the progress in the American League race during the past week. Chicago has profited the most, while Cleveland, which started the week in third place, hs found some rebuffs while on the road. To the Wonderment of the fans, lndiananolis is still setting a furious pace, and. judging from the play ing of. the Hoosiers, there is no abate ment in sight. Milwaukee has made Her culean efforts to stick to the leaders, and a merry time has been the Brewers' lot. Comiskey's White Stockings have im proved wonderfully during the week, and they seem to have at last struck a gait that leads to pennants. Their playing, however, has been raiher paradoxical. Detroit's visit to Chicago for four games should put the White Stockings in second place in the pennant race. Detroit is still loking up from below and has had a neck-and-neck race with Buffalo. Kansas City has not done as well an its home grounds as it did on the road, and fifth and sixth place has been, fought fur between Kan sas City. Minneapolis and Cleveland. With Minneapolis it has been noticeable that Dr. Harley Parker, well known in Chi cago, has done the best work in the box for the millers' pitching staff. Cincinnati Races Start. Cincinnati, O., June 12. The second meeting of the Latonia Jockey club opened with fine weather and a good crowd. Kleven books were In line. The track was fast. Jockey Berman, while going to the post on Lord Everle In the first race, lost control of the horse and was thrown over the rence at the six furlong pole. His left leg was broken and he was otherwise badly injured. For the first time during the season the judges had occasion to take action on foul riding. In the fourth race Xanthos cut off Nitrate and Problem and was set back. Sakatuck did the same thing to Fair Deceiver in the last race and was the guilty party in both instances wa sthe guilty party In both instances and was set down for the balance o the meeting for his poor Judgment, Base Ball Gossip. Manager Ewing has signed Pitcher Co gan. recently released by Chicago. Dr. Boger will try to secure some con trivance to put on Lajoie's hand, so as to enable Larry to play as soon as the thumb bone knits. New York may farm out Pitcher Si Seymour to Worcester. Mass. His inabil ity to control the ball is the cause of Sey mour's downfall. Manager Clarke, of Pittsburg, has gone to Cresson, Pu., for his health. lit is suffering from kidney trouble, and will be unable to play for two weeks. Jaclitsch, the former Canuck, who has been with the Phillies all season, has been farmed by Manager Shettsline to the Min neapolis CIUD. Laioie views the defeats from a bench at the club house door. Coean. the former Chicago nlaver. now with the-Giantii, is an alderman of Pater son, N. J., ar.d, of course, owns a saloon there. A few years back he and Carrick pitched for the Newark team. Now both are together in Gothfun. i ney are accusing rierr rsreitenstein in the east of being as slow and deliberate in his movements as Cuppy. He is said to be nggravatingly slow this season. Conny Mack has purchased the release of Outfielder Tommy DoWd. His second baseman, Henry Keitz. formerly of the Baltimore and Pittsburg clubs, has de serted the Milwaukee team play in the California league. James J. Corbctt has been secured to make a tour of the Atlantic League cir cuit, playing first base for the home team in each city. His schedule is as follows: At Wilkesbarre. June 12; at Scranton. June 13: at Allentown, June 14: at Harris- burg, June 19; at Reading, June 20. Yellow Tail Stale. St. Louis, Mo., June 12 Five favorites and one well played second choice scored at the fair grounds. The defeat of Yellow Tail by Hi Nocker, in the third race was the most striking feature of the card. Hi Nocker, with light weight up just romped away from Yel low Tail, who seems stale just now and staggered home a poor fourth, under the 120 pounds impost. NATIONAL LEAGUE. AT NEW YORK.

The Bodies of Two Respected Emporia Women Arriye on Same Train Mrs. Jarjuith and Mrs. Parrington. Wichita, June 12. The growth of bus iness at the Wichita Union stock yards is little less than marvelous. The reports of the joint freight agent at the yards show that the business has doubled in the past year. Last month 621 cars or live stock were received at the yards while a year ago the receipts amounted to 262 .cars. The total number of cars handled last month was 1,278, while last year there were handled in the yards but 5GS, showmg an increase of business of 710 cars. The receipts of the yards are increas ing steadily and there is every indica tion that the yards will assume before long the place of importance to which it has always been destined. There always, has been a good hog- market, but practically no market for cattle. The proposed establishment of a feeder and stock market means much for the yards. When cattlemen know they can sell all kinds of stock at a point they prefer to stop there and not to patronize a point where the demand is limited. This is shown daily by the fact that persons having mixed loads of hogs and cattle generally go through to Kansas city. bam btewart who intends to open up a came commission at the yards in a few weeks, says that he is satisfied that Wichita will before Jong be the feeder and stacker market for the southwest. its location is right and from now on the banks will float all the Daoer the stockmen can present. THE HARVEST IS ON. Southern Kansas Hums With the Sound of the Thresher. Independence. Kas.. J une 12. Whpflr harvest in southern Kansas and the northern part of the Indian territory is now on in full blast. Nearly one- half of the wheat has been cut and the rest will be cut and shocked by the last of this week. The grain is ner- reciiy ripe ana tne farmers are cutting night and day to get it all cut nnii shocked before any wet weather come. In one wheat field of 1,000 acres in the territory south of here there are six teen harvesters at work. Harvest hands are very scarce and there is a great deal of wheat which has been cut and left lying; on the ground be cause of the scarcity of shockers. Several threshing outfits started out thir. morning and will begin threshing at once. In Chautauqua county west of here three threshing machines com menced threshing new wheat today, which is three weeks earlier than usual. The quality of the wheat in tiiis sec tion of the country is the finest ever known, and the yield per acre will ex ceed the average yield by from ten to nftecn bushels. Most of the wheat in this county and Chautauqua county will average from 25 to 40 bushels per acre. The oats are beginning to ripen and will bo ready to cut by the last of this week. The quality of the oats is un usually good and will yield more than double the amount usually raised. The prospect for a good corn croo was never better than at present. It has all been plowed for the last time and i3 from four to six feet high. If the corn is not hurt by dry weather it will make the largest crop ever raised in southern Kansas. HOME FOR BURIAL. Bodies of Mrs. Parrington and Mrs. Jaquith Returned to Emporia. Emporia, June 12. The bodies of two young women who grew up in Emporia came in on Monday's train: Mary Wright-Parrington and Margaret Nel-son-Jaquith. No train has come into Emporia with a sadder cargo for many a year. The death of Mrs. Parrington was announced Thursday; the death of Mrs. Juquith occurred Sunday and brought grief to hundreds of her friends in this town, where she grew from girl- nood to womanhood. Mrs. Jaquith was born in Indenend- ence, Kan., and moved with her parents, Air. and Airs. J. M. Nelson to Emporia, about ten years ago. She'was gradua ted with the class of 'S3 at the Normal and taught for several years in the Un ion street school. She resigned to mar ry B. W.

Coxey's Lieutenant Painted Signs in Wichita. Wichita, June 12. The show wagon which made its winter quarters just north of Casey & Gatst's on North Market, has pulled out on the road again. Many citizens have seen the old wagon as it stood there, and many have also read the sign painted on the sides, which read, "Real scenes from the war with Spain, and other scenes." But very few people ever took the trouble to closely examine the paint ing on the sides of the wagon or they would have noticed the name Carle Browne of Coxey fame painted thereon. The old gentleman who owned the waaron was asked how Browne hap pened to paint the signs and he replied that Mr. Browne was in Wichita one day and asked for the job of painting it, and got it. Then he added: T didn't tell him he could put his picture on it, but he did, just the same." The picture referred to Is one Browne drew representing himself with an armv hat on his head. Browne is something of an artist, but he has never had any schooling. .WELLINGTON'S BANKERS Purchase Waterworks Bonds City Will Now Erect Light Plant Wellington, June 12.
