Big Baseball War Has Beached
a Critical Stage.
Money Losses in Many Clubs
Will Force Action.
FEDS CRIPPLE THE OB
Western and Southern Leagues
Among the Heavy Losers.
Magnates Will Likely Be
Driven to Peace Terms.
New Tork, Oct. 22. All baseball
fans, major, minor and outlaw, are
hereby warned to sit tight and take
firm hold on themselves. . For this
winter the old baseball boat is going
to be rocked as it was never rocked
before and any who haven't got a
death grip will go overboard sure.
The magnates are not talking much
for once. That in itself is an omi
nous Blen, for when a baseball mag
nate won't talk, one may well know
that something is brewing and some
thing of a mighty serious character at
that. But confab after confab is be'
Ins held behind closed doors and many
mighty important missives are passing
back and forth between the ruling
powers in the baseball world.
Just what is going to happen is hard
to forecast. One thing Is certain, how
ever, and that is that when the gong
rings In the spring of 1915 for the get
away in the baseball world the field
will have a vastly different appear
ance to the one it presented during
the past season. The warring powers
in Europe won't massage the face of
that country any more than the kings
of baseball will muss up the looks of
organized baseball this winter.
Clubs Lose Money.
The reason for this change is very
plain baseball clubs throughout the
country lost more money during the
past season than ever before in their
history. And ther . are few who don't
believe that the cause lies in the Fed
eral league and they also think that if
baseball is to continue as a profitable
business that peace will have to be
made with the Federals.
It isn't that the Federal league
made the two major league clubs lose
so much money. They didn t do that.
But the clubs they did hurt and hurt
badly, are the Class AA teams, making
up the American Association, the In
ternational league anl the Pacific
Coast league. The Western and South
ern leagues. Class A organizations.
were handled terrific wallops, too, in
the shape of greatly reduced profits.
The great race, in the National
League enabled that venerable body
to toddle through the season with a
better profit on a whole than it has
had in some time. Boston's great
spurt from the bottom to the top after
July 1. lent an interest to tnat organ
ization that resulted in packed parks
and big gate receipts. The American
League didn't fare so well as the Ath
letics early got away in the lead and
stayed there. At that the American
League clubs didn't lose enough to
scare them any.
Tributaries Crippled.
But the heads of the American and
National Leagues realize that they
have got to do something to appease
the powers in the Class AA leagues.
The International league is clearly on
the rocks. The Federals walloped
that organization unmercifully. And
the International league is a great as
set of the major leagues.
In fact the entire structure of base
ball depends on the minor, leagues.
The major leagues have to have them
to develop young players and to take
care of the surplus talent. They could
no more do without them than an
aeroplane could fly without an engine,
And the minors are demanding, and in
no uncertain terms, that the major
leagues make peace with the Federals.
They don't care just how peace is
brought about but peace they want
and peace they must have.
The Federal league hasn't made a
mint of money. But late reports indi
cate that enough of the clubs finished
the season with the balance on the
right side of the sheet to make it cer
tain that they'll stick in the fight for
some time to come. Just how the Fed
eral league is going to fare in this
coming peace parley is hard to deter
mine. If the club owners around the
circuit put their fight entirely in the
hands of "Jim" Gilmore, their scrap
ping president, it is certain that they
will come off pretty well in the nego
tiations. There considerable ' talk, however,
to the effect that some of the club
owners are weakening and that if word
reaches them from organized baseball
that they will be taken care of they are
liable to sell out. If a couple or even
one of the Federal league club owners
make any negotiations of his own with
the enemy, Gilmore won't be able to
fight nearly as effectively and the
chances of the Feds getting much out
of the settlement will be very slim.
Gilmore stoutly asserts, however.
Wan-
that bib club owners are all loyal to a
man and that they'll see him through

Albert 8. Burleson, postmaster general.
in an address here Wednesday night,

added, "if it is because of their mon

Mr. Burleson pointed to Congress

WITH THE BOXERS.
Denver Promoters Offer $20,000 for
20-Round McFarland-Welsh Boot.
Denver, Colo., Oct. 22. Twenty thou
sand dollars for a twenty-round fight
between Packey McFarland of Chicago
and Freddie Welsh, the lightweight
champion, or $10,000 for McFarland and
Mike Gibbons, were two propositions
put up to Packey by Denver sporting
men.
Three local men formed a syndicate
and agreed to put up a purse of $20,000
for a fight here during Stock Show
Week in January, between the Chi
cagoan and the Britisher. Packey im
mediately accepted the proposition, pro
vided Welsh would agree to 135 pounds
at 3 o'clock. He also said he would be
willing to divide the purse on any
basis.
If Welsh turns down the offer, the
promoters will offer $10,000 for the Gib-bons-McFarland
meeting at 145 pounds
ringside.
Lewis In New York.
New Tork, Oct. 22. Jimmy Johnson,
matchmaker of the new boxing club in
Madison Square Garden, is in a high
dudgeon. He declares that all the light
weights are running away from a match
with "Kid" Lewis, the English light
weight, who recently arrived in this
country.
Lewis was matched to box Jack Brit
ton at the Empire A. C. on Friday
night, but Britton, according to John
ston, developed a severe case of nerves,
and of course could not attend to the
matter in hand. Sam Robideau prob
ably will meet Lewis.
If the word of those who have seen
him in action Is to be accepted, Lewis is
a larger edition of Jem Driscoll, per
haps the cleverest man who ever step
ped inside the ropes. He has phenom
enal speed, and his skill is little short
of legerdemain. - Combined with these
necessary elements is the ability to hit
and the courage to box hard.
Wolgast Meets Welsh November 2.
Chicago, Oct. 22. Adolph Wolgast and
Freddie have closed their match for
November 2 in Madison Square Garden,
New York. This was made certain
when it was learned that Wolgast had
insisted that bis match with Tommy
Gary at Streator, III., originally billed
for October 29, be set ahead three days
to the 28th. This has been done by the
Streator promoter.
Wolgast will jump right out of
Streator after the fight with Gary and
hustle on to New York to meet the
possessor of the championship that
Adolph once held himself.
NO MORE "FAST STUFF."
Auto Speed King Says He Has Given
Up Fast Driving.
Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 22. Teddy
letzian, holder of the world s record
as a road race driver. Is through with
the speed stuff.
"I'm off the 100 mile an hour stuff
for good," said the veteran driver.
"It doesn't pay. A man is bound to
get nis ti ne stays with It long enough.
"I blew two tires on the Kalama
zoo track and went through a fence
sideways. An Inch and a half Iron
bar scraped some hair off the top of
my nead as l went under it, and after
I got untangled I did a lot of plain
thinking. Cars are a whole lot faster
these days, and tracks and roads that
they race over are no better than they
used to be.
"I will drive reliability and endur
ance runs and that sort of thing, but
nix on the fast stuff.
. "I set the present mark of 78.76
miles an hour for road racing and I
think I've done my share of the fast
stuff. Anyhow, I'm through with it for
good."

are temporary and the coaches hope to
have every one ready for the trip to
South Bend.
The football field at Washburn Wed
nesday afternoon looked like a real 1
training camp. - Coach Gray took the1
two sets of backnolds and gave them '
some much needed Interference prac-1
tice. Dean Rogers and Dr. Ernest held '
school on une corner of the field with
the linemen as scholars and this part
of the work was very profitable. All !
of the men were hooked to the bucking
machine and made to shoulder it up
and down between the goal posts. Then '
the first team and scrubs scrimmaged i
hard and fast. ' I
There is considerable improvement

However, the Good Old Dope still i
makes Emporia the favorite in Satur- j
day's game, and Good Old Dope is the
kind of fellow that requires tall hus-1
Uiner to down. G. O. D. has it figured 1
out that if the Ichabods win Saturday's
contest they will be given the favorite's
place In the championship. But if they
lose they will be dumped in the field
wth the other dark horses and will have
little chance of coming under the wire
first.
By playing their best Trobert's men
ought to be able to win, but there is
no gravy train on the schedule and
bowery bunks of roses will not lead to
victoryville. Mr. Gray himself realizes
the importance and difficulties of this
game, and if the men only work as
hard as he does the results, no matter
what they are, will be nothing to be
ashamed of.
This afternoon's scrimmage will prob
ably be the last practice before the
battle. The field is In excellent con

been reserved for the Aggie rooters at

Wheaton says milk makes men lazy.

The following news dispatch will
show how the Jayhawkers are working:
Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 22. Despite
their crippled condition the Jayhawkers
are showing excellent form in their
practice in preparation for the Kansas
Aggie game next Saturday. On offensive
play the men showed up remarkably
well, carrying the uall down the field
almost at will Wednesday. They used
some new plays for the first time and if
they work as well Saturday as they diq t
Wednesday night the Aggies will have
their hands full. When the Indians :
took the ball the Kansans put up a !
stiff defense and were able to make the ;
running difficult for Kennedy's backs.
Powell, the star of the Haskell team, ;
was injured on the head In the scrim
mage and had to be taken out of the
practice.
The Kansas coaches are taking no
chances on the Manhattan game. They
know that the Aggies fight harder
against K. U. than they do against Ne
braska and consequently are giving the
varsity the hardest kind of a workout
In preparation for the contest.
Mr. G. O. Dope, mentioned above,
slates Nebraska for the Missouri Valley
title, Illinois for the -Western Confer
ence championship and Washburn for ,
the Kansas honors, if the Ichabods beat
Emporia Saturday. The form sheet on
the Michigan-Harvard event is rather
complicated and uncertain. Also, since
Bricklev has droDned out. Harvard
stock has taken a tumble and It looks ;
as though the eastern trio will have to
fight it out to a finish-with odds about

fore Brickley quit. Within the past
week Yale has whipped up considerably.
Princeton is also working hard.
-The Manhattan and Junction City
high school teams will play at Junction
City tomorrow. Both teams are good
and carry some promising football men
and the game should be a good, close
one. ....... ;
