JCST LIKE A BABY.
How Jeff Handled Munroe In the Ring
at Frisco.
New York Sept. 3. In answer to a
telegram Jack Munroe tells a few in
teresting things about his fight with
Champion Jeffries the other night.
"He is the greatest lighter in the
world." says Munroe. "I don"t think
that there is a chance of him ever los
ing the title In the ring. His strength,
speed and immense bulk offset what
ever the other man has, so that there is
hardly a chance in a, hundred of getting
n even break with him. His powerful
arms beat down your defense, and all
that you know Is knocked out of you
with the first punch. I can't remem
ber much after the first punch hecaught
me. I remember that we were closing
tn on each other and I saw his left start
for what I thought was my body. He
made a funny switch on It and landed
upon my cheek. I was dazed but did
not fall until he hit me again. The
ring seemed full of Jeffries and I hard
ly got upon my feet. .Before he battered
me to the floor again. There seemed to
be no chance to show myself, and all I
could do was to cover' up the best I
could. Nothing was clear to me; all
was a haie and I can't even remember
the bell ringing for the finish of the
round. I can remember being helped
up once from my chair, but after that
I seemed to be moving around In the
dark. My blows lacked force: there was
no strength in me and I was like a baby
in his hands..
"There are no three men in the ring
today who could beat Jeffries in one
fight. If there are I have never seen
them."

BAD DAY FOR NELSON.
Young Pitcher .'.Lost Head In
Sixth Inning.
Abbott's Batting and Howie's
Fielding Features.
The whole . aggregation of. Saints
ought to be arrested for .murder In
the first degree for beating "Fatty"
Nelson to death, on Friday afternoon
after the chubby little Oriole Cupid
had even made . himself believe that
he held the Celestials In the hollow
of his hand, and would "show them
up." In five Innings he gave them but
three hits, and two of these were very,
very scratchy.., 'In that time he Issued
but one pass and -struck out seven
of the wing-clipped. With the ex
ception of the first inning it was all
"one, two, three" order, and but one
man got to third base, and he stole
his way there from the initial station.
Ach Louie! aber he got his hoofs
tangled up In the stirrups of the bal
loon in the sixth and eighth rounds.
At the half-dozen mark on the pro
gram seven big holes were kicked into
the warming pan, and then in the
round before the finale, six more
cleaned their shoes on the gutta-percha.
The records won't deny this:
Topeka 13, Leavenworth 0.
Mr- Nelson, the Pitcher,
Winding Process,
Fourteen safe ones, all in one day,
did those Saints make! Just sit down
and let that seep, .into your-epidermis
and rejoice. , Gloat over it, glutton
yourself, grow monstrous, and be hap
py, for certainly Leavenworth sent a

C-P.3.
When Nickell Hits the Ball.
Denver Tom 'Hughes Just added an
extra bunch to his laurel wreath. He
presided over the square in the middle
of the field like the New" York Sun over
the greatest baseball writer In the
west. The yellow-legs could not any
more see the drift of Tom's bender-"
ines, than they could the home-plate.
He got into the hole a number of
times, but not a soldier boy could
make the turn. Five little hits repre
sented all they made. Seven bases
on Da J is were dished up to them, and
two of these came in the third and
three in the eighth. Despite the fact
that he bunched them up like grapes,
the guests were unable to get at the
juice.
Captain Abbott Started Things for the
Saints.
Nelson simply went up and never got
back again to tell the tale. But there
is one thing the boy ought to hate
credit for, he knows how to smile when
he gets licked, and does not go around
mad, throwing mud and biting himself.
It was in the lucky sixth that his star
set. Howey passed. Abbott whaled for
two bases. McDill sacrificed, schrant
walked. Dun singled. Olson got hit.
Brown and Shinners both got fair ones,
Hughes walked, and Abbott hit a
three-bagger. Get a paper mill and a
lead pencil factory, and figure it all out
if you want to prove why Nelson should
not have been licked. - .
Here are the data for the eighth when
you get through with the sixth. Olson
hit safely. Brown did likewise. Hughes
got hit. Howey slammed a safe one.'
Abbott and McDill both played trumps
with more sirajlesf Schrant closed the
sad matinee with a three-sacker.
The Saints went into the fracas with
a cripple team. Cole was nursing his
bruised finger which has become infect
ed. Hurlburt was sick. Eddie MeDill
played the center garden and Howey
played in the left weedpatch. This
cherubic ladies' favorite got two hits,
six put outs and one assist, the latter
an effective threw to the plate killing
off an attempt te beat his throw-in. If
he always plays like that he doesn't
need to be a. pitcher.
The genuine feature, however, was
the batting of Abbott. A three-bagger,
a two-bagger and .two singles were bis
During the
credit marks in that line. His game at
first was faultless.
Gus Alberts was . still sick and could
not umpire. Harry L&France, who
broke his leg early in the season while
with the Saints, happened to be at the
game and he was called upon to handle
the Indicator. In the. fifth inning the
wing-clipped commenced to bawl him
out" because of some Questionable ball
and strike decisions. Harry accordingly

"Where they play Sunday:
Fort Scott at Topeka.
' Pittsburg at Joplin.
Leavenworth at Sedalia.
Iola at Springfield.
It is now as good as settled that the
pennant will go to . either Iola or
Springfield. While the Gaslighters
have a lead of 30 points over the
Midgets, the latter still have plenty
of chance to close the gap. Both have
hard games ahead of them with Jop
lin, and these will settle the final
standing. The Miners are out of it
for the bunting. Sedalia has a fight
ing chance to beat the latter out for
third place. But the Goldbugs will
never do It. Their slump is too big
to be straightened out this late in the
season. They will in all probabilities
finish fourth. Pittsburg has a cinch
on the fifth place, and with the ball
that the Pirates are now playing they
would hurry Sedalia for fourth place
if enough time were still left. Outside
of the Iola-Springfleld scrap for the
premier position, the next interesting
feature to the standing is the scrap
between Topeka and Lieavenworth for
sixth place. The Saints have been
closing up the gap at leaps and jumps,
and with the schedule ahead of them
ought to overtake the Orioles. With
but 32 points to make up and ten
games with Fort scott ana seaaiia
ahead of them; the Celestials should
break up neighborhood with the cellar
champions. Fort Scott is in the rut.
It is possible for her to beat out To
peka or Leavenworth still, but It
would practically mean the winning
of every game, and that Is impossible.
The Giants will finish where they
started in the last place.
From the gossip over the circuit It
Is concluded that Joplin and Topeka
are the only towns ahead on the sea
son's gate receipts. It would be a
very poor sport who wouldn't bet that
Shorty HuriDurt is trotting in tne
money-making class as well as the
two mentioned.
The Sedalia Democrat backs this up:
"The Joplin players explain their loss
of three games to Pittsburg by the
statement that Umpire Collins gave
Pittsburg the best of It In every pos
sible Instance. The Pittsburg boys
naid Collins $15 fine in Sedalia. It
will be remembered, so there was like
ly method In his madness."
It is not commonly known, or prob
ably at all, but Gus Alberts fined
Abbott of the Saints $10 since the
team has been playing here at the
home this last time. Gus didn't say
a word, but Just turned in a plaster
of ten plunks against the big manager.
When asked for specifications, plans
and a diagram, Alberts said: "Oh, it
is Just for the kicking which he has
been doing lately. The fine will stick,
too."
Jack Root of Iola, one of ' the best
pitchers on the circuit, is evidently "all
in. Lately ne naa lost nis games witn
regularity. This Is from the Iola Daily
Register of Wednesday: "Jack Root
was given another chance In the box
yesterday, but as he has not pitched for
several days It Is not surprising that he
was not in form. It is very evident that

What do you think of this from the
Sedalia Capital: "Dutch" Henry has
returned from Topeka with the scalp
of Eddie MeDill dangling at his belt.
Mr. Leist says that Sedalia has the
wining ball team, and that there is no
other way to account for the continued
losses except to say that there was a
disorganizer In the bunch by the name
of MeDill. And MeDill has been swap
ped to Topeka, the youngest and there
fore the most unsophisticated of Mis-,
souri Valley clubs." And before leav
ing Topeka "Dutch" Henry assured the
Saints that he was very sorry to have
to let go of MeDill even temporarily,
for he "Is such an exceedingly good
man and I want him back next year
by all means." . . .
The fifty-fifty division of the gate re-'
ceipts is over In the Missouri Valley
League. Next spring will see the box
office results split on a sixty and forty
percent basis, the home team taking
the big end. This Is the way it should
be. It will make every town In the cir
cuit strive hard to make Its home games
well attended. The Idea of about half
the teams In the circuit living oft the
other half is a very poor one, and will
be ended for good at the fall meeting of
the Valley managers. Topeka, Spring
field and Joplin will lead the right tor
its aboltsnment, and if these three
can't knock the persimmon, then it
never will fall off the tree. It Is true
that a 50-50 division will do more to
carry a league through the season In
tact than anything In the world. That
is the reason It was instituted. Teams
that could not make money at home
knew that at certain towns intheleague
they would be recipients of a nice chunK
of the gate receipts. But the question
simply simmers Itself down to one of
fairness. If a town cannot toe the
mark In Its own backyard In the way
of supporting a ball team, then It ought
to get out of the league and be dis
placed by one that can.
