IN FAST COMPANY Wilmot's Hen Flayed the Strong Chicago f t Training of Millers Continues Along Sternuous LinesYeager Get ting Down to Weight. s f & i8 i To-day Wilmot's men were given a chance to show their ability in fast com pany in a game with the Chicago White sox at Leavenworth Comiskey in spite of the loss of Griffith has a bunch of play ers who are considered fully as strong as the fast bunch of last season The pitch ing btaff includes Jimmy Callahan, still one of the best in the business, Patterson, whom Comiskey considers the equal if not the superior of Griffith, and P'laherty, who was sought by all the big clubs in the country but who Anally signed with the Whitesox, the outfield includes Fielder Jones (that really is his first name), whom Hanlon considers the best outfielder in the world, and Danny Green, one of the fast est base runners in the country Tanne liill, one of the most promising of minor league inflelders, will play either short or 1 t % * s third With his "Big Four" however, Wilmot should make a good showing against the Chicago twirlers Stimmel was scheduled to pitch to-day's game, and Yeager to do the receiving Yaeger has been taking off flesh rapidly, and as the fatty matter has disappeared, a dearth of witticisms has been noticed Wilmot has been tak ing his men on little runs to the Leaven worth baseball grounds every day, a dis tance of five miles. This strenuous form of exercise has contributed materially in reducing the corpulency of the big catcher. To-morrow's game at Leavenworth will be with the Whitesox again It will bo played on the National Military Home grounds, which Business Manager Run cie of the Millers declares to be the most beautiful in the country The ground is a turf field, with beautiful drives, long vistas of trees and great government buildings on either side Yesterday was a typical Kansas day at Lea\enworth, the wind blowing very hard all day But the millers were on the grounds morning and afternoon doing their "stunts'* in order to be in good trim for the game with Comiskey's Whitesox The men are all in good shape with the exception of Outfielder Sullivan, who has a very bad leg, an abscess having formed as a result of a bruise received some time ago H e is out of the game for the time being Isbeli and Patterson of the Whitesox arri\ed at Leavenworth this morning and will be joined by the balance of the team to-morrow They were on the grounds _ all afternoon and expressed the opinion that Wilmot's team should be a winnei They especially complimented Stimmel, -who is pitching in mid-summer form The batteries for to-day were expected to be Stimmel and Yaeger and Patterson and Sullivan for the best part of the game with a try-out for the other ball tossers Wilmot has arranged with the street car companj for the men to ride, but only on the suburban cars Yesterday several of the players got on the Kansas City lino nnd were put off when about half way in fiom the grounds They were given the ' horse laugh when they climbed aboard one of the suburban cars In a few days President Pulliam of the National League will send out to mana gers and umpires his instructions regard ing what steps shall be taken to maintain deportment on the ball field There will be no row'dyism," he said to-day "Any player who attempts it will eliminate himself will efface himself, as it were His outbreak will be a flash in the pan The umpire will take care of hun and I will take care of him later, if need be I am not looking for any such thmgfby players If there is any rowdyism it will not be the fault of the umpires or players, but my fault I intend to have clean ball, and to carry out that intention and enforce my authority will be a test of my executive ability WILL BE ACCOMMODATED [Young Corbett May Meet Terry Again if the Latter Will Bet $10,000. Another fight between Young Corbett and Terry McGovern may be arranged if 'the latter can really find backing to the extent of $10,000. When McGovern ar- ~ rived in New York, his manager, Sam i Harris, said Terry would like to fight his conqueror again and that he would wager j. $10,000 on the side that McGovern would C ' be the victor Hearing of this, George || Consldine, who is interested in Young fl Corbett, said that he would furnish $10, p 000 to back Corbett, and that Harris would I- have a return battle if he was sincere in ||V his willingness to bet $10,000. Corbett after his last fight said that he wanted a rest and thai? he would not do a ny fightingr for some time It is be- f^. lieved, however, that he can be induced to change his mind and give McGovern an other chance, provided there is an oppor tunity to make big money. v* T Young Corbett says he has made no plans to fight Yanger. H e said: "I'll fight him some day! but not now Yanger is looking for advertising in all this talk " An attempt is now being made to majce a match between Young Corbett and Jor dan, the English champion, but so far nothing has been accomplished It is pro posed to have this contest take place be fore the Yosemite Club in San Francisco some time in May If Jordan cannot be secured it is hoped that Will Curley will meet Corbett. ,M.

Ho ^vas thoroly in touch with affairs on the football squad last fall, and talked to me, as a fellow alumnus, freely, and I am sat isfied, truthfully I questioned him in re gard to all the men on the Michigan team who had been under suspicion, and among others about Gregory. "According to the story he told me, Yost had nothing to do with inducing Gregory to enter at Michigan Yost did tell my classmate that Gregory, who was a resident of some small town near Los Angeles, was a promising man. My class mate wrote to a brother fraternity man who was in business at Los Angeles, tell ing him that Gregory intended to study law and advising him to use all legitimate means to persuade Gregory to enter Michigan The Los Angeles alumnus held several conversations with Gregory and jfche latter's parents, and convinced them That the Michigan law school offered more advantages than those of any other in stitution they had under consideration. "I also have had assurances from pro fessors in the law school at Michigan that Gregory is an industrious and conscien tious student, I feel justified in stating positively that none of the men on the Michigan team last year were Induced to enter the university by promise of gain " The faculty of the University of Michi gan took official cognizance of Fresl ent Jordan's attack on Coach Yost and Gregory in a meeting of the board of con trol. The speech delivered by Dr. Jor dan at the University of Chicago last week was taken up, analyzed and answered In directly a rebuke was administered to Professor Scott of the local faculty, who spoke from the same platform as did President Jordan and who himself intl mated that athletics at Ann Arbor were not all they should be In the statement given out after the meeting by Professor Pattenglll, head of the board of control, the most sensational features were considered the (direct charges of unsportsmanlike conduct against Professor A A Stagg of the Uni versity of Chicago It reaches its climax in the closing sentence of Professor Pat tengill's statement that the present con ditions of athletics is absolutely intol erable " Professor Pattengill strongly defends the University of Michigan's standing in both scholarship and athletics and says that special care was taken in regard to the case of Center Rush Gregory Professor Pattengill asserts that President Jordan s accusations are ungenerous Michigan students are extremely indig nant at the statements concerning Yost and Gregory, made by Professor Jordan "There is absolutely no truth in his statements ' said the "big center It is all slander and nothing else It is a shameit is shame, I say Yost did not influence me to come here I qame here because it was the best place within my reach to study my chosen profession. If anybody had anthing to do with my com ing here it was Professor Ferguson of Stanford He recommended Michigan himself I don't like the reflections cast on my standing as a scholar one bit I have never failed in an examination since I have been here, and I passed by entrance examinations without a scratch I got a diploma from San Jose high school before I came here and had aa good a standing as any freshman." The University of Chicago professors and athletes take exception -to the state-, ment of Professor Pattengill of the Uni versity of Michigan in regard to President Jordan and Professor Stagg, but none was willing to be quoted when interviewed. Professor Stagg, at whom the shafts of criticisim were mainly directed, refused to reply to the insinuation of unsportsman like conduct, but intimated that he might give out a statement in writing later on. The students at Chicago were a unit in upholding Professor Stagg and his ath letic policy. NEWOFFIGERS&REIN Calhoun Yacht Club Elects C. D. Kicker Commodore and A. D. Axtell Fleet Captain.

Man Who Made Killing With For- * est King Formerly a Noted .f - Character in Montana. t Has Won and Lost Several Bank Bolls in the Last Fifteen Years. Special to The Journal. -- Helena Mont, April 9 "Kid" Kelly, who made the recent famous "killing" at Oakland with Forest King, is a noted Montana character His Montana frie'nds do not believe there was anything cropked about the race, except that he alone knew what the horse was capable of, and kept that information to himself When he was posted in the books at 60 to 1, Kelly immediately proceeded to back him "off the boards," and by post time tjie odds were at about even money JCelly is said to have won $78,000 on the race "About fourteen years ago Kelly engaged in ranching with his brother in Flathead county, Montana, but not finding this to his liking shortly afterward departed for Anaconda where he soon became noted as a "plunger " An instance of his habit in this line may be cited Shortly after Jais arrival in Anaconda, Kelly bought $20 worth- of checks at a faro game, got off lucky and soon had about $900 He decided to quit and pushed the checks over toward the dealer, who was shuffling the cards for the next deal. Just at that moment Jack Highland approached the game and purchased $100 worth of -checks He noticed Kelly's chips setting in front of the box, and inquired as to who they belonged Being informed that they were Kelly's, he turned to him and said "Why don't you bet them all on the high card, Kid?" The banter was too much for Kelly and bet them he did, simply by telling the dealer that the chips "went' 'on the first turn. And go they did The turn came jack-nine, and the $900 worth of chips were placed in the rack and Kelly left the house without a cent. H e took "his loss philosophically, however, and did not even reproach Highland for the bad "steer " * In 1891 Kelly went to Columbia Falls bought several lots and erected a $3,500 building, but this vetnure proved a losing one, as Kalispel was made the Great Northern division headquarters, and the Inhabitants left Columbia Falls as rats leave a sinking ship The ^ bar and faro games were not patronized and the build ing was afterward sold for taxes Kelly then traveled around the state for several years, working in Helena, Butte, Great Falls and Anaconda as a faro dealer, all of the time "bucking the tiger" him self, with Indifferent success merely eke ing out a living Along in 1893 he bought a horse called Al Watts and essayed to become an owner, but this, too., proved a failure, as his horse d*d not get withm the money in any of his entries He was still dealing faro when the Alaskan gold discoveries created such an excitement, and, getting the craze, started for Dawson City Here he was quite successful at faro, and was soon the owner of one of the best houses in town, and was doing the best business of any gambling-house in the place, when the town T?as destroyed by fire He lost everythinghouse, bank roll and paraphernalia He estimated his loss at $50,600 He again got a start on "shoe-string," however, and after a win ning streak of two weeks, soon purchased another house and was doing well, when he again burned out, and, as in the first instance, he had no insurance on his prop erty, and was left penniless Despairing of success in Dawson, he went to Cape Nome by the river route, and soon accumulated a roll of about $10,- 000 With this amount he started for the states, and stopped off at Helena eh route east, where he made a long visit with hia parents J&e returned to Seattle, where, with with W S Stanchfleld, the Helena horseman, he started' a gambling-house called the Dawson club This did not prove a successful venture, however, and Kelly sought to recuperate the losses of the club by playing the races, with the result that he was soon in hard straits again. It was quite evident that the club could not survive another week, whereupon Kelly drew out his share of the roll, bucked the bank in his own place and won out the entire roll, ab(jut $7,000 With this sum he started foi New York, where he secured employment as a faro dealer This was about eighteen or twen ty months ago From letters received by his friends, it is learned that he consV ered New York,a great place to pull off "coups," and he advised sgveralof them to come there, promising situations at $100 a week That was the last heard of him for six months, until the news of his startling victory at Oakland with For est King, and it is safe to say his every dollar was wagered on the animal MTRY BLANKS ARE OUT Fifty Five-Men Teams Are Expected to Enter the State Bowl ing Tournament.
