TWO BIG SURPRISES

A special to Th c c; 1o be received
/nun Omaha last night brings the start
ling Information that t»e Western
magnates have permitted two sur
that they have been saving up
for the Blckey association to leak out.
first surprise is that Hugh Mc-
Gowan, president of the Indianapolis
Street Ra.lway company, ha? applied for
a franchise for •the Indiana city. The
second surprise is that the city council
Of Omaha is to refuse to close up a.
thai must be closed up if the
American association park is located at
Twentieth and Paul stre. is.
The Omaha special explains the sur
prises as follows:
"A man Interested in the local Western
• team ibis morning gave thje in
formation that the. unknown person for
whom Manager Rourke waited before
deciding whether or not he would
bell his franchise to Ilk-key, was the
Indianapolis car Hue owner who is now
in Kansas City conferring with Rourke,
Manning, VThltneid and other cluo own
ers. ICcGowan is an intimate friend of
the Western league president, and he is
said to have promised when the war
first opened that he would put a dub
in Indianapolis in the event of the leagu^
members agreeing upon its advisabilii
""President Hickey, of the American as
/uiation, has secured an option on the
grounds at Twentieth and Paul sir. ets.
but it is said that Manager Rourke has
n ceived assurances from the administra
tion that Twenty-first street will not be
closed. Ill's street must be closed to
make the site available."
The announcement that McGowan has
asked for a franchise for Indianapolis is
indeed a surprise when the following tel
egram from Kansas City is taken into
consideration:
This Storj Is Different.
"Kansas City, ■ Jan. Hugh llc-
Gowan said tonight that he was not iti
terested in the "Western league franchise
for Indianapolis or had not given any
encouragement to President Wjiitfield or
James Manning. He-would not deny that
he had been approached, however. lie
said he was interested in no way in base
l all/ 1
The Indianapolis Sentinel touching
Dpon this incident says:
Hugh McGowan, president of the ln-li- j
Is Street Railwaj company, is ttij i
man whom President Whltneld, of the I
Western league, claims has made applic- j
at i. m for a franchise for a <"iub in in- ■
aianapolis to represent the league.
This claim is undoubtedly based upon
Mr. McGoWan's friendship for Jimmy
Manning. Doubtless the Indianapolis sit
uation was discussi d bj Manning with I
Mr. McGowan, and thai gentleman In his j
usual generous manner promised to •'■■>
what he could for the Kansas City man.
Mr. McGowan is in Kansas Ctty, and
len for several days. He wilr return
here on Saturday, according to his pri- :
vate secretary.
It is not believed by those interested in
baseball in Indianapolis that Mr. Mc-
Gowan has made any offer to take ihe
Indianapolis franchise of v. league that
will be in every sense a minor organiza
tion to the American association. He had
an opportunity last Beason to note the
!s of his cars hauling people to
Washington park to see ball even of a
better quality than that the Western '
league will be able to put up.
President vThitfleld is undoubtedly nt
temjiiing to bluff the American associa
tion people out of Kansas City and
Omaha on the mere professions of friend
ship of men of capital like Mr. McGowan.
He has :i"t yet been able to make good
any of his claims when he has I" < n call
ed.
If Mr. Whitfield has had applications
from Indianapolis he owes it to the In
dianapolis people to let them know who
is to cater to their wants in the baseball
line. Efforts have been made here to timi
the Indianapolis people who think they
want to enter minor league baseball in
opposition to Messrs. VVatkins and Rus
chaupt, but the quest has been unsuc
cessful.
It is hard to say it, but the Western
league will have to make good on at
■me announcement before it can ex
pect the baseball public to enthuse over
the war reports. Mr. Rourke may have
been assured by the "administration" that
no streets will be closed for the Ilickey
association, but the fanatics will wait
for the report of the vote on the
ordinance that must be parsed before the
street can be fenced off.
If Mr. Whitfleld's announcements are
correctly reported by the correspondents
the president of the Western now looks
hi aded tor the bridge from which, ac
cording to the correspondents, he in
tends to leap If the Western does not
play ball in Milwaukee.
Whltfleld has Beveral times informed
the baseball world that the lease to the
Milwaukee ball paik Ls locked up in hi 3
sate. Gross, the man who has the plac
ing of the Milwaukee park lease, ls
(haunted by reporters, bui to all he
makes the simple statement that the de
parture of the lease to Kansas City or
any other point is all news tp him.
Tlie Mysterious Leatte.
The following la the latest bulletin re
garding the whereabouts of this Pat
Crowe lease issued by Mr. Gross:
"If Whltfleld says he has a two years
lease on our old park it is news to me,
but if he says he has the lease in his
•safe at Kansas City then we ought to
have some money here in ours, which
1 assure you is not the ease. The lease
is to be had but the money has got to
be in sight before there Will be any
signing going on."
It is hi gin time for the Western to
Btart something. About the only sighted
thing the Whltfteld followers can start
is a return to the little six club league
idea. The "Western ■will not be In St.
Paul, will not be in Minneapolis, in Mil
waukee or in Indianapolis.
Rourke just at the present time is a
loyal follower of the Whitfield banner
but then the Kansas City meeting has
b«-«-n adjourned but a few hours. Rourke
without doubt has been bolstered up with
assurances, but Rourke might make a
wise move by glancing on down the
track. Somewhere on ahead he may be
able to discover where the assurances
cannot be made good and wise friends
migrht prove their friendship by attempt
ing to show the Omaha magnate where
one bird tightly clutched is worth a free
for-all grab at a bundle of tail feathers—
that taking advantage of any real money
offer at the present time iis the only
Bure way of connecting with the money.

founding of such an organization is now
the topic of dist iis.^imi among alley keep

plsn. to bring the owners and keepers

rsie forming ol a national alley owners'
association was talked of by Chicago
t i wlers more than a year ago, and while
n > strenuous effort was made on their
part to perfect the organization, much
wa« done toward it. Bowling alley keep
er and owners throughout the country
wore brought in touch with the plan, and
now they announce they are ready to
bring about its founding.
The forming of the association, they
say. would be beneficial to all the alley
keepers and owners in many Avays. The
tutting of prices by various keepers and
owners for the use of their alleys would
be stopped. This means much to th<»
teams bowling on alleys where they get
a reduced rate. The prices could be regu

ftP.lronise any establishment exclusively.
In- with each alley having the Sinie fee,
the business would be divided.

PITS STARTS TIIK GUESSING.
Sjiortitia.' >I«»ii Wonder W'liy Koiiprt
Is AsUing- for Hacking.
NEW YORK, Jan. W.—What is Fitz Up
to? Every sporting man in town is mak
ing this query since the: report came out
that the Cornishman had asked Adolph
Sprtckles for backing against Jeffries, [t
is not the amount involved that puzzled
local sports, but it is way Fitz w reut
at it.
Is Fitz broke? His neighbors don't
don't think lie is, and judging from the
clothes "l^isnky Bob" wears he is still a
long way from the workhouse. Good
many "in the know" assert that there
was method in Fitz's madness in going
after the $25,000. it was simply an an
nouncement to the world that be has
powerful friends and that lie can get
backing t > any amount.
Some of his friends even assert that
there has been a secret meeting between
Jeffries and Fitz and that all arrange
ments have been made for a meeting be
tween the two men. What discussions
are going on now is regarded as in the
light as free advertisement, and that
both fight, rs have agreed to let the oth
ers speak for them for a while.
Whether or not Spreekles will be will
ing to back Fitz for $25,000 remains to be
seen. He has not decided yet, and prob
ably won't until he hears more definitely
from the "red-headed one." One thing
is true, the California millionaire is a
grefit admirer o f the lanky lighter, and he
recently made a statement that he would
be willing to back him for any amount up
to $50,000.
The fact that Fitzsimmons has chosen
this way in announcing to the -vorld that
he Is ready to re-enter the ring- is re
gard. (1 a.s certainly that he is in great
shape. Of court* the money beins put ud
by the public would follow In the lead of
the P ;eiiic coast millionaire, and Fitz
woi'id probably go Into the ring a fa
vorite ov.r Jeff, It is hardly likely thit
the Coririshman would dare to run the
risk of public censure in case of defeit
and it is argued that he must have an ace
up his sleeve somewhere.
That Fitz will enter the ring and that
Jeffr.es will meet him there is not a Par
ticle of doubt now. It is regarded as a
certainty that Fitz will be w lin- to
make a match with Jeff without backing
now that both have bluffed each other to
a standstill and the vocabularies of tach
are almost exhausted

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 10.—Frank de
Haas Rcbirson, of the St. Lout? National
BaeetaH club, today gave out the follow
ing epen letter to Mr. A. G. Spalding hs.
reply to a published Interview with the
Itftter a few days since:
•'Cleveland, Jan. 10.—Mr. A. G. Spald
ing, Albemi^rle Hotel, New York: De.ir
Sir—l received today a letter signed by
yon Which had previously ben: given to
the proas. You state you write simply as
an individual. In your letter you "offer a
great deal of advice to others. You en
close a copy of your letter to John f.
Brush, dated Jan. 7, 1902. In that letter
you advise Mr. Brush to induce me to
dispose of my "supposed' interest in the
St. Louis club. I may consider it.
"*A number of years ago the Chicago
club, of which you were then president,
began the most abominable practice (and,
in my opinion, the beginning of the down
fall of the National league)—selling the
releases of Clarkson and Kelly lor $30,000
to the Boston club you established a
precedent that ever since has compelled
every other club to follow or get out of
the baseball business. Under th.' method
established by you and your Chicago
club, the St. Louis Baseball company,
during- the season of 1900. paid out over
I£o,ooo for the release of ball players to
.strengthen its club. 1 believe this is more
money than you and your Chicago olub
has paid out in the twenty-six years you
claim to have been a member of the Na
tional league.
l<'«riM'd I'lnycM to Ort(aui/.f.
"When you began the practice of sell
ing players, that moment the National
league lost the respect and confidence of
the baseball players, and that chapter
came to a close a year ago last spring
when, by your actions, the players were
forced to form the Players' Protective
association, and demand of the National
league that this tyrannical process could
no longer be endured, and the National
league accepted and agreed to their de
mands. Yet you are advWing others to
induce me to get out of the National
league.
"Mr. Brush suggested to you to retire,'
I say to you, retire.
"Before doing so you might enlighten
an anxious baseball public from ocean to
ocean why the Chicago club has not paid
Adrian C. Anson any dividends on his
Chicago Baseball company stock (which
he paid for), also, why you took Mr. An
son on a trip across the ocean only a
few years ago, and only gave him a few
hours' notice pending a syndicate base
ball deal between the Chicago Baseball
club and the Cleveland Baseball club that
was never consummated, and at which
tin-e you were wearing what was called
in baseball politics 'gum shoes.'
"Take away the screen and let the pub
lic see that the only object you have in
view in this baseball controvt rsy is to re
new the baseball contract between the
National league and A. G. Spalding &
Broth, rs.
"I will try and keep in the front firing
line and remain there as long as the am
munition lasts. The supply is very large

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—President H. B

Northwestern university, made the an
nouncement Thursday morning at chapel

that he knew nothing of the meeting,

to England.
BRRLTN, Jan. 10.—During the course
of a debate in the reichstag references
were made to Mr. Chamberlain's remark
concerning the German army, when the
British colonial secretary delivered his
famous speech at Edinburg. Herr Son
nenberg, radical Antisemite, made a
long and violent speech, indulging in the
most bitter invective against Mr. Cham
berlain and the British army ever heard
in the reichstag. He characterized Mr.
Chamberlain as the most wicked man on
God"s earth.
This expression- called forth a stern re
buke from the president of the house.
But Herr Sonnenberg, unabashed, as
sailed the British army, classing it as
a "mob of thieves and robbers, unfit to
be compared with the glorious Germans."
The speaker's remarks called forth fur
ther censure from the president.
Chancellor as Peacemaker.
The chancellor, Count yon Buclow,
making a general reply, took occasion to
pour oil on the recently troubled British
waters. He spoke sharply against the
abuse of Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial
secretary, indulged in by several speak
ers since the opening of the debate, as
well as against the aspersions cast on
the honor of the British army, to which
the chancellor paid a warm tribute.
He said he regretted the incident,
which had too long inflamed public
opinion in both countries'. He hoped that
in future the endeavor to live on good
and friendly relations with England would
in no way be disturbed.
The chancellor, concluded with an ex
pression of approval of the recent speech
made by Prince yon Wolff-Metternich,
the German ambassador to Great Britain,
at Hamburg, advocating more cordial re
lations with Great Britain.

o£ Probable Trouble in >%
Chinese Capital.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—When shown
a news dispatch from Pekin, stating
that the presentation of certain demands
upon China by the French minister at
the Chinese capital, has caused a serious
hitch in the proceedings there, M. Cam
bon, the French ambassador at Wash
ington expressed great surprise, saying
that he was not aware of any claims
preferred against the Chinese govern
ment by the French republic which
would bo likely to cause an interruption
of affairs at Pekin. ' -'he ambassador
has not received any advices whatever
on this subject, and, therefore, was not
prepared to give a speculative interpre
tation of the dispatch.
]t was suggested that France does lvold
some claims against China, but it was
gathered that these were not regarded
here as of sufficient importance to bring
about the state of affairs set out in the
press dispatches. At the state depart
ment it was suggested that the trouble
may have arisen from a, question of
precedence or procedure in the coming
presentation of the foreign ministers.

Mrs. Schley will visit for ten days. Gen.

In the evening Admiral and Mrs.

conclusion of the evenings bill, appar

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—So far as the terri
tory of the Central Passenger association
is concerned the anti-pass agreement has
apparently been broken past all mending
for another twelve months at least. Cir
culars were received in Chicago today
which were issued by the Pennsylvania
and the Lake Shore roads announcing
that for the year 1902 exchange passes
would be given and inviting the same.
Similar notices are being issued by all
the lines.
The decision to abrogate the agreement
was reached in a meeting of the trunk

at which it was decided that conditions
were not favorable for carrying out the
agreement in Central Passei ger associa
