that there is easier game than Burns.
Manager McCarey wired tickets for

supposed they were on the way west.

A STORY OPTHB PAST.
Too Late MoGraw Discovered That He
Made a Mistake.
Pittsburg, Pa., Augr. 17. Pittsburg
players brought news that Christy Mat
thewson refused to be made a cat's paw
ot by McGraw in the disgraceful ept-.
sode of last week at the Polo grounds.
Matthewson was first selected by Mc
Graw to act as umpire. Carrying three
new balls Matthewson approached the
bench occupied by the Chicago players,
and said to Chance:
"Come on, Frank; let's play and I will
umpire the game for New York." ..
"You had better go and get into con
dition to pitch and quit butting in on
this affair," said Chance. "You have
nothing to do with it."
Matthewson then admitted openly the
Chicago players had taken the right
stand and went back to McGraw and
told him that under no circumstances
would he go through the farcical role of
umpire. McGraw flew into a violent
rage as Matthewson walked away from
the New York bench and refused to lis
ten to the abuse aimed at him by his
manager. Strang then reluctantly went
out behind the Gotham twirler and
stood there until the comedy had been
ended.
When McGraw realized that his action
was about to disappoint the large crowu
and redound to his discredit for years,
he grew pale and sent Pitcher Fergu
son on the run to give .Instructions to
the gatekeepers to admit both umpires.
By the time Ferguson reached the mam
entrance, however, Ernsile and John
stone had gone down town.

Preparations for the Largest
Crowd in Ring History.
THE ARENA'S CAPACITY
Will Seat 10,000 People With
Box Prices at $25.
Promoters Hare Added a Bull
Bout Attraction.
Goldfield, Nev., Aug. 17. The great
mining town w-hich only a few year9
ago was wild with gold excitement has
now g-one crazy over boxing. They fight
between Battling Nelson and Joe Gans
is the cause of It all.
The purse of $30,000 was raised in
20 minutes after Manager Billy Nolan
had telegraphed his ultimatum as to
what amount would be demanded.
Business inen, 'saloonkeepers, bankers,
mine owners, gamblers and miners, all
rushed into the office of Ted Rickard
and planked their contributions down
in good hard cash?, no promises or con
versation money; the total amount
subscribed reaching the grand total
of $52,000, which is deposited with
John S. Cook & Co., bankers. This
deposit is given to the bank in the
plain name of the- Gans-Nelson fight
fund, and every cent of this vast sum
is given to get a good, square fight, and
they certainly have secured the best
pugilistic attraction that has been
billed for the past twenty years.
The arena, is now in the course of
construction,, and w hen completed will
have a seating capacity of 10,000 peo
ple; the prices . ranging from S5 to $25
for box seats. In case of any labor
troubles that may arise the mine own
ers of Goldfield and Tonopah have
agreed to close their mines down and
turn every one of the 6,000 miners in
to helping the completion of the arena.
This will give one an idea as to the
interest taken in this world's cham
pionship contest.
Last Friday, after Gans and Nelson
had been signed up, Ted Rickard, the
promoter arid director of this pugilistic
contest, received in all something over
1,100 telegrams in reference .to orders
for seats. These communications have
come from the principal cities all over
the country, from Maine to California.
Betting is very brisk here and at a
low estimate there Is bound to be
$500,000 change'hands. -
From New York the most prominent
sporting men of the country have tele
graphed for sfsatp; John Considine has
engaged twerits'-flve ringside seats for
his New York'' friends, and will leave
in ten days for the cehe of battle.
In addition -' to this championship
fight, the promoters are going to give
a bull fight, which wilf also take place
on the same day that Nelson and Gans
mix it. The bulL fighters : are now on
their way and the wildest and tough
est bulls that "can be secured on the
Idaho, Wyoming and Montana ranges
are now being looked for by the cattle
men of .this "cau.bj.ry, " who have been
instructed- by telegraph.1 This' will be;
a novel event for the-American peo
ple,. and no doubt,will Jielp to increase
the attendance he,re. .J
Nevada is the1 only: -state in the
union where a finish contest can take
place, and there, is. no Question but that
the good sporting, people of Goldfield
have proved themselves to be the gam
est sports that ever promoted a pugi
listic encounter, This is the one place
where women, like the men, will be
permitted to witness a glove contest
from start to finish. No liquor will be
sold nor will any individual be allow
ed to carry any. iiquo-r into the arena,
as the sheriff has sworn 150 deputies
to guarantee that the best of order will
prevail and no rowdyism will be per
mitted. The Broncho's Fast Mile.

" JopWnat Oklahoma City. a:.
The Springfield Midgets who were
once considered pennant possibilities
are having a run of hard luck. They
have hit the toboggan good and hard,
and are trying to locate some method
of staying their- descent down the
greased pole which leads to the bottom.
Topeka lines up against the Midgets
next Sunday and a double header will
be played. The Springfield aggrega
tion has always been a hoodoo for
Cooley's pennant winners, but they will
have to hurry some if they beat them
this trip, or .even break even with
them.
" There has been a rumor going the
rounds for som-e time to the effect that
Captain Dick Rohn of the Webb City
team was to be replaced by Harry
Cheek. According to President Moore
there Is not a shade of truth in the ru
mor and he is somewhat at a loss to
know why such a rumor should gain
credence anywhere. He stated, how
ever, that it was the intention of the
stockholders to strengthen the pitch
ing staff of the team and that negotia
tions were pending that - would tend to
strengthen this department materially.
Leavenworth Times: Holmes' catch
ing in his first game at Webb City
seems to be satisfactory. He made
one error, but the tiresome stealing of
bases was cut short. There were no
steals, whereas Holmes threw three
men out who attempted it. Nothing
has been heard of Pitcher Parkin for
so long a time that local fans have
about decided that he is not coming.
Leavenworth ought to have another
pitcher in order that Queisser might
be kept in right field. His hitting and
base running has been more valuable
probably than the kind of bail he
would be able to pitch after having
been out of the box for - nearly two
months. If not Parkin, some other
man ought to be secured. Harry Eels,
once with Joplin and later with the
Kansas City Blues, is still pitching ball
for the Cleveland Americans. He was
knocked out of the box in the game
with Washington Tuesday.
Leavenworth Post: Harry Cheek,
Webb City's catcher. Is the most ac
complished man on the circuit when it
comes to being hit with a pitched ball.
In every one of the three games played
here with Webb 3ity and the game
there he went down at least once via
this route. While it is barely possible
that a pitcher should each day slam
the pellet against the ribs of the same
player, it is probably more likely that
Cheek has developed a way of being
hit and fooling the umpires as to his
intentions in the case. Jack Henry
once had the trick that first year when
he started out with Leavenworth, but
Henry has since become a 200 hitter.
"Happy" Jack Wescott has come back
to earth at Joplin and is pitching good
ball. From of Wichita pitched a three
hit game to beat him at Kingman Mon
day. Early in the season Wescott
could -not-get-away. One team after
the, other: batted him with frivolous
ease and he finally left the Rohn team,
released." Walter Queisser's home run
in the first inning of Sunday's game,
brought him $29. This makes up for
the home run he knocked in the ninth
inning of the last Springfield game,
receiving no contribution from the
stand.
In the series between Joplin and Okla
homa Ofty which opened at the latter
place the two teams will play five games
in three days.
Rumor has it that Edward Ruelbach
who pitched for Sedalia in the Missouri

critics are disposed to name him asr tin
best twirler in the National League. He

In their lineup, in Tuesday's gamt
Webb City had four new faces. Pricv
and McColIum are two new men in the
outfield. Olson at third base and Lat
timore in the box were the other new
men. Lattimore comes from South Cen

tion from that company. President
Moore considers him a find.
Leavenworth Times: Catcher Harry
Corbin, lately sold to the Pittsburg Na
tional league team, left last night for
his home in Winfield, Kan., to remain
until his injury mends. Corbin was
hurt in the last game of the late Spring
field series and will not be able to play
ball again before September 1. The deal
which was on to sell Corbin to the De
troit Americans is off. Corbin preferred
going to the Pittsburg Nationals and
Will be under the direction of his old

Joplin News-Herald: With the great

the Topeka baseball club seems to b
walking away with the pennant race in
the Association. The team now has a
higher percentage mark than has been
acquired by any other team this entire
season, and Joplin and Topeka are the
only two teams ahead of the 500 mark.
During the past week Topeka has won
a number of games by the rankest sort
of luck, and it Is hardly expected by

White Sox will be able to hold the per

throughout the remainder of the season.
The team has taken the first two games
at Oklahoma City. To win the first
game the Cooleycrows were forced to do
the unheard of act of making six runs
in the ninth Inning, but luck rolled their
way and they did it. In winning yester
day's game the team shut outOklahomg
City and piled up 4 runs for itself in the
eleventh inning.
Wichita Beacon: Olson, the fast
shortstop of the Joplin team, dotes on
"liquid beef" and is there with the
stiff protest if soup is not forthcoming
with every meal. He was among the
vanguard to land at a table in the Bal
timore hotel in Kingman last Monday.
He was also the last player to be wait
ed upon. He chafed under the delay
and with considerable emphasis de
manded soup of tha demure waitress
who condescended to take his order.
'We only serve soup at the bill ofare
table," was her reply.
. Wichita Beacon: "Who's the laslest
mas In the world?" Answer: "Tex"
Johes. The above question was made
unanimous by both the Joplin and
Wichita teams in front of the Balti
more hotel in Kingman Monday after
noon. "He's a good umpire and gets
away writh the goods," Is the statement
which invariably follows the pro
pounding of the above question. His
judgment on balls and strikes and his
decisions in the field have been good
during his career as an indicator
handler in the Western association.
Jones is popular among the fans and
players and protest against his de
cisions is seldom made. "Baseball

That Frank Genins is making goocl
with the management of tha Hutchin
son team is shown by the folio-winy
from the News: That Frank Genins
is a good manager is proven by the
record of the team since he took
charge of it. The Salt Packers have
won six of the last eight fames played.
Nearly all of these have been good
games, too. All of the boys are play
ing such an excellent quality of ball
that the fans are highly pleaaed. Tha
real secret of the fast ball that th
team has been putting up ls In & nut
shell Genins. Genina is an old
leaguer, having played for more than
twenty-five years and in all of the
leagues. He knows all of the players
everywhere and there isn't a one who
doesn't respect Geniins. Abbott had to
be turned off because the boys didn't
like him. Abbott didn't suit them and,
as a consequence, did not get the re
sults. Genins. being well liked, gets
lots of ginger Into the team. The
players like him so well that they are
always doing their best for him. If
they keep up their present stride,
Hutchinson will not be at the bottom
at the end of the season.

New York National Club Asks Dain
ajres From Chicago Team.
Chicago, Aug. 17. The New York
National league club has brought a
civil suit in the New York supreme
court against the Chicago National
league ball club for 13,500, alleging . '
damages to that extent on account ot '
the forfeited game. The summons in
the suit was served on Charley Wll
liams, treasurer of the Cubs, at Brook
lyn. Mr. Williams turned it over to Presi
dent Murphy. After reading the sum
mons and indulging in a hearty la.ugh.
President Murphy, among other things,
said:
"The New York club is bounid to
continue the farce as long as possible,
because they want to, if possible, re
gain the esteem and confidence of tha
press and public. A million lawsuts
will not get our minds off the main is
sue the winning of the National
league championship, if it Is possible
for us to do so.
"Barney Dreyf uss says that he never
takes any action upon the part of th
New York club seriously, and he seems
to know something from experience.
The bringing of this lawsuit will causa
further condemnation of the New York
club, and whatever chance Brush and
McGraw had to regain lost prestige is,
in my opinion, gone glimmering.
Things have come to a pretty pass
when we have damaged the New York
club by living up to the laws aril regu
lations of the time-honored National
league."
