Frank Selee Has a Scheme to
Increase Iiattiug.
Suggest. That All Carre Fitch'
tnff It Cat Out.
ONLY STRAIGHT BALLS
Ko Strain on the Slab Artists'
Arms That War.
Bat Thejr Would Hare to Be
Good Dodgers.
Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 13. While dis
cussing a method for increasing batting
Manager Prank Selee of the Cubs has
proposed a new argument.
"Many of the enemies of the foul
strike rule have claimed that the game
has been Injured by the handicap placed
on the batting," said Selee, "but if they
want to increase batting, I would sug
gest that they cut out all curve-ball
pitching and have nothing but straight
balls. Let the pitchers depend on
speed. This would be a great srivirg
of pitchers also, as it is the curve pitcii
ing that wears an arm out. A straight
shoot would be easier to hit and it
would increase batting. We would
then have to have better outfielders, for
they would have to cover more ground
nd learn , to run back on the ball.,, A
pitcher could work three or tour times
a week without injury, for there would
be comparatively no strain on his arm.
Many pitchers are more successful even
now with a straight ball than they are
with a curve.
"I am not advocating this measure by
ny means, but if the people that are
anxious to increase the batting in the
game want a good way to do it let
them take up that line of argument."
Mordecai Brown was a party to this
conversation and had this to say:
"I haven't any doubt but that it
..would increase the batting bo that it
Would satisfy any one, .but if they
should make such a law they will have
to supply the pitchers with armor
plate protection, for I'm sure I would
not be willing to risk my life in front
of the gun. It is bad enough on a
pitcher the way it is and unless a
pitcher is a good dodger these days he
is likely to be put on the hospital list
any time."
FOR TWI.NTY HOVND BOIT.
Tommy Ryan and Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien Matched.
New Yoik, Sept. 13. Tommy Ryan,
the middle-weight champion, and
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien have agreed
to fight 20 rounds for the middle
weight title. They have about reached
an amicable understanding as to the
weight at which they will clash and
have all but signed articles. Ryan
wants to fight at 156 pounds, ring
side: O'Brien demands that the figure
be made 15S at 3 o'clock, which is
the real middle-weight limit. The
fight will probably take place before
the International Athletic association,
of Rouse's Point, New York.
Negotiations for this match, hwve
been going on for some weeks. Up
to today Ryan has refused to talk
right. Now, however, he has come to
the bat and is. ready to sign articles
aa soon as the weight question can
be adjusted. As the champion he
thinks he has the right to say at what
figure he will scale in at.
The International Athletic associa
tion of Rouse's Point made an offer of
a (10,000 purse for a light between
Ryan and O'Brien some days ago.
With the offer was a promise to post
half ths rurse at the time the fight
ers signed articles. The club stands
ready to make good and only the af
fixing of the fighters' names to the
document is needed to guarantee one
of the best fights that has been seen
in some years.
WHY NEW YORK WINS.
McGlnnity, Matthewson and Wiltse
Do Great Slab Work.
New York. Sept. 13. Mike Donlin
suspended and released by Cincinnati
to New York in a trade, is the man
leading the National leaeue at nresent.
Donlln has taken part in seventy-six
unira ana nis Datting figure is .3 4 2.
Dunn of New York is second, as he has
tairen part in thirty-six games and bat
ted at a .340 clip. Then comes Hans
wagner with 117 games and an aver
age of .336. Two weeks ago Grady
was leading, with Wagner second, but
oraay Had now dropped to fifth place.
Prank Chance being in fourth. Beck
Jey has also taken a drop and is bat-
xing out a single point above .300
Mnoot and Shannon are the next two
oatters to show for St. Louis
The pitching record pays a high
xrioute 10 wiltse, the New York south
paw, the latter having won ten games
out of that number pitched. McGin-
nlty is the one who deserves the main
credit, however, as he has pitched 34
games and won 2 8. Matthewson has
made the brilliant record of pitching
in u games ana winning 31 of these.
With McGinnity, Matthewson and
Wiltse on the slab it is easy to under
stand why New York has been win
ning the pennant without half trvintr
Nichols Is still the leading twirler
for St. Louis, with J9 games won and
9 lost. Jack Taylor is second, with 17
games won and as many lost. Then
follow McFarland. O'Neill and Dun-
leavy in the order mentioned.
Racing at New York.
New York. Sept. 13. Diamond, at 7 to
t. won the I15.0UO Produce stakes, which
was the opening feature of the autumn
meeting at Brighton Beach. The Pro
duce is run in two parts, being for colts
and geldings. The second half will be
for fillies. Only a fair field of 2-year-oids
faced the starter for this race, with
Wild Mint and Jack Lory equal first
choices at 12 to 5. The start was bad.
Lyne beat the barrier and at once rush
ed Diamond into the lead. As he swung

Previous winners of the colts' half of

handicap, one mile and a furlong, in the

fifths of a second slower than the
world's record. Only one favorite won.
FITZ WANTS THE WLVXER.
Lanky Bob Would Like to Fight
Ryan or O'Brien.
New York, Sept. 13. Bob Fitzsim
mons announced today that he would
meet the winner of the Tommy Ryan
Jack O'Brien fight for the middle
weight championship of the world.
"Many people think I have reached
that stage where I can no longer get
down to 15 8 pounds," said the Cornish
man, "but I will fool them.
"Immediately after Ryan and
O'Brien settle their argument I will
post a forfeit of $1,000 to bind a
match with the winner. In a long
fight I think Ryan is O'Brien's match,
unless he has gone back considerably,
and it would not be a surprise to me
if he finished Jack inside of twenty
rounds. O'Brien is not used to bouts
of more than six rounds, and for that
reason Ryan, who is more experienced
than O'Brien, will beat him down in
12. or 15 rounds. It is immaterial to
me who wins. I don't think It would
take me more than 10 or 12 rounds to
dispose of Ryan or O'Brien."
- In the American Loajrue.
Uncertainty marks the going in the
American league. When Boston drop
ped Pat Dougherty the Champs were
so far ahead that it looked like an ex
ercise gallop' for Jim Collins" team.
That deal, which created so much
commotion at the time, was responsi
ble for letting just enough steam out
of the Boston balloon to drop the
Champs back to the bunch. New York
and Boston have been see-sawinff at
the front for a week or more, while
in Philadelphia the white elephant
hasn't been goirv? around fast enough
to put the Athletics in the running.

to achieve ultimate success the Sox

must receive material aid from De

American League Figures.
New York. Sept. 13. American
league batting averages show a mark
ed and continual decrease in percent
ages, even the great leader, Lajoie,
suffering with the rest. Only nine men
are over the .300 mark, and most of
these are dwindling steadily. The
base running records are also poor,
Harry Bay having the best mark so
far.
New York leads in team hitting and
Cleveland in extra bases. Lajoie is the
chief long range hitter of the league.
Sudhoff and Dunkle lead the pitch
ers in fielding, and Sugden the catch
ers. Lachance leads at first base,
Robinson at second and Bradley on
third. Wallace tops the shortstops,
and Robinson the outfielders. Chicago
leads in team fielding.
Chesbro has the best pitching record
of the season, although Smith of Chi
cago, has been most successful in pre
venting runs.
Racing at Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 13. The Excelsior
stakes, at one and one-eighth miles, the
feature at Hawthorne, was won by
Prince Silverwings by a length. The
Lady was second and Miss Crawford,
the favorite, third. Judge Himes was
scratched and Flying Torpedo added.
The stake was worth SI. 655 to the win
ner. In the third race McGee and
Ielagoa furnished an exciting finish.
The two hooked up at the final six
teenth pole and raced as a team to the
wire, where Delagoa won the verdict
by the action of a nod.
Racing at St. Louis
St. Louis. Sept. 13. Commodore,
favorite, easily won Delmar's feature.
He got off running and was never head
ed, winning by a length from Vestry,
who was a neck in front of Braden.
Barklyite made it three straight by
winning the fourth race very easily
from Lady Strathmore. Barklyite is In
great form at present, and it will take
a good horse to beat him.
Boston Sticks to Back.
. Boston, Sept. 13. A. C. Bucken
berger has signed a contract, and will
manage the Bostons next season. This
action was taken in quick refutation
of the story that Fred Tenney would
succeed him.
Nelson After McGovern.
Milwaukee, Sept. 13. Battling Nel
son and his manager, Teddy Murphy,
have arrived in Milwaukee, having
come direct from Butte, Mont., where
the battler defeated Herrera on Labor
day. Nelson shows a few marks of
the twenty round battle, one hand be
ing a little damaged and having a "tin
ear." Otherwise Nelson appears in
fine shape.
He will take a rest of aiTownsend and Clark.

Racing at Readville.
Readville, Mass., Sept. 13. Two fa
vorites and an outsider won the events
at the opening of the fall meeting at
the Readville track. The track was
slow, owing to a heavy morning rain
and the first race was not started un
til late in the afternoon.
The 2:10 pace was the feature, for
after Ben F., the favorite had taken
the first heat handily. Peeler Patron
came up in the second and won by a
head.- The next two were easy for
Peeler Patron.
Ecstatic, the unbeaten mare of the
season, won the 2:06 pace. It was
announced that on Wednesday the
noted trotting gelding. Major Delmar,
would go to beat the world's record
without a pacemaker. If he succeeds
he will then on Friday trot against
the world's record to high wheel

Columbus, O., Sept. 13. As the re
sult of a wager made at St. Paul on
the trip west the Columbus club will
play a series of three games here be
ginning September 25 with St. Paul for
the sake of seeing which is the better
team to decide a bet of 500 which

Ebbets Fights for Minors.
Cincinnati, Sept. 13. President Ebr
bets of the Brooklyn baseball club ar
rived here and held a .conference with
Chairman Herman of the national
commission. He came here to Drove
that the wholesale purchase of players
for the Brooklyns embraced only bona
fide deals. President Ebbets left for
Brooklyn and will send more evidence
for the commission to be considered at
Its next meeting; about September 25.
Left Fielder Barclay to Boston.
St. Louis. Sept. 13. George Bar

departed for Boston, having been re
leased to Manager Buckenberger. Bar
clay was at one time the star outfielder
of the National league, with a batting
percentage or over .300. He has been
suffering from malaria for two seasons
and it is hoped that a change of cli
mate will restore him to his old form.
Joe Walcott Will Fight Gans.
San Francisco, Sept. 13. Joe Wal
cott, the Barbadoes wonder, is to be
substituteed for Gardner in the match
with Gans, which has been scheduled
here for September 30. The change
has necessitated new conditions for the
fighters.
Racing nt Detroit.
Detroit, Sept. 13. The mudlarks
had another whirl at Highland nark,
The winners included three favorites,
two second choices and one well back
ed outsider.
The rumor circulated to the effect
that the Highland park track would
be one of the outlaw circuits proves to
be entirely unfounded.

GOT THE LAST ONE.
Saints Made It Three Straight From
Fort Scott.
On Monday afternoon the Saints
drove the last nail into the coffin
threw upon it the last clod, and then
stuck up a sign board which read as
follows: "Here lies Fort Scott, the
tall-enders of the Missouri Valley
league for 1904." The Giant corpse
struggled Just a few times and then
stretched its toes. The obsequies read
like this; Topeka 7, Fort Scott 3.
Abbott and Armstrong Talk it Over.
It was all over in the first act. The
Celestials made more runs In that
round at the swatting stick than the
Scottltes in their entire nine. Four
chalk marks went down for Topeka.
scott took the field first, with Hender
son handling the tureen ladle. Big
Ben was apparently suffering from
tangled wires. His whisking muscles
were a little rusty. He hit two men,
gave three hits, and Harrington help
ed out by making an error at second,
where he was playing, vice Downs,
sore arm. This combination which
Henderson dished out netted a whole
quartette to the haloed ones, and Ab
bott telephoned home: "The victory
is ours."
In the fifth. Big Jones fumbled
Bevis' grounder. Shlnners sacrificed
him onward, and Olson furnished him
a single with a cushion seat to ride
home on.
In the seventh Abbott got to first on
Haney's error. Cole's semi-sacrifice to
first shipped him to second, and he
stole third on Henderson's wild pitch.
Then as Bevis was swinging at his
third strike, Abbott stole home. Arm
strong made a great bluff of quitting
the field because the umpire gave the
decision to Topeka. But visions of the
$50 fine imposed on Dud Risley for
pulling the Gasllghters off the dia
mond about six weeks ago, made him
reconsider the motion and kick it un
der the table. Shinners then got his
base on balls. stole second and
whirled the dusty track on Olson's
third hit of the game.
Horath Smashes a Bat.
The Scottites got one In the second
off Olson's error and Henderson's hit.
Another came in the fifth. Graves
singled himself to first. Then Jones
hammered one clear out to the phono
graph advertisement, the ball striking
near the top of the fence, bounding
into . the air, and giving the fans
heart disease for fear that it was go
ing over. But the horse-hide caromed
back into Cole's hands - and Jones
only got a chip good for a two-bag
ger. Meantime Graves had pitter-pat-
tered home. In the ninth Circus Clown
Haney raised the ante. He filtered a
pretty two-bagger through the left
field horizon, went to third on a mean
grounder to Olson, and then withered
out of sight over the gutta-percha,
when the smiling little Swede let one
percolate through his shins.
Dunn was out oi tne game on ac
count of sickness, and Eddie McDill
had another chance to show his" value.
His work on third was ninety-nine
and one-quarter per cent pure.
Claude Liming having gone out or

left field fence in the Fort Scott-To-peka
game of Monday afternoon will
probably go down in history as the
longest hit of the year at League park
for 1904. The ball was practically driven
on a straight line. It struck about four
Inches from the top of the fence, where
the cross-beam and the post come to
getser. The ball shot up into tne air
for about 15 feet, but bounced back into
Cole's hands. On the old Washburn
field the ball would have fallen into the
scrub elm growth just east of the park.
Here is another wad of indignation
from the Iola Register: "Iola Is now 42
points ahead of Springfield. Do you
suppose there is any way that Shlveley
can figure us out of the rag? Nay, nay,
Pauline."
Lawrence Barr, a Fort Scott amateur,
tried out against Leavenworth on last
Friday. He gave fourteen bases on
balls, and then proceeded to let the
Orioles down with seven hits.
It Is thought that.inthe Kansas' legis

In order to knock it out. some organiz

meeting of the league at Kansas City.

they all are in the league again, should
commence soon to influence their rep
resentatives to protect Sunday games.
President Shlveley stated some time'
ago that this matter was one of the
important topics up for consideration
at the November meeting of the Valley
managers.
! "How do you like Armstrong?" was
asked of Harry Ernich, treasurer of
the Fort Scott team. "Why at the be
ginning he looked all right, but the
people down there now think they got
a package."
President Sheard stated today that
several of the players whom he in
tends to keep for next year want to
winter in Topeka, but to do so, must
have work. "All Jobs will be cheer
fully taken care of," says Sheard. "Thu .
boys are willing to do most anything."
Carter has won - more games than
any Topeka pltche' this year.
The Sedalia Sentinel writes Claude tim
ing's obituary in this way as an indicator
man in the valley: "Umpire Liming de
cisions were also very raw and at ull
stages of the contest he gave Topeka the
best of it, both on ballff and strikes and
also on the bases. His decisions were
questioned numerous times and when a
close decision was made which went
against Topeka either Abbott or Dunn
would raise a howl and the 'umps' would
become Intimidated and change the decis
ion in favor of the visiting club, of which
he was a member before being appointed
an indicator holder in the Valley league.
His decisions were on a par with those
made by Collins, whose reputation is well
known here, and the spectators became
so disgusted with his work that he was
hissed by almost everyone who witnessed
the game. A spectator at the game loan
ed his timepiece to the 'umps' during the
progress of the game and after watching
the contest for a time went out on the
diamond and had Liming turn it over to
him for fear that he would get away with
the watch as he did with the game."
