Word coms from Paris that the international Olympic committee ha reported that it has decided to Intrust the organization of the next Olympic games to the Ameri can Olympic committee. The com mlttoA reached that decision on ac count of the fact that the war will n.ake the holding of the games in Ber lin iiniuuuible. and America is best qualified to handle the event at this time. The International Olympic con gress will also be Iield in New York in 1916. and that too, influenced the com mittee. Vancouver Gets Pennant. Seattle. Wash, Sept 15.

WOLGAST AND MANDOT OPEN BOXING SEASON European warfare will be trans ferred to Milwaukee next Friday night when Wolgast, the German, battles Joe Mandot, the Frenchman, in Frank Mul kcrn's Cram City arena as the open ing gun of the 1914-15 Wisconsin box ing Reason. It is a lightweight clash, a second meeting of the principals and a mix-up that has all the ups and. downs of a popular .novel romance. Back in 1911 Wolgast, then the lead er of the 132-pound division, met this soft speaking baker boy in the New Orleans ball park, and it was here that he began to show signs of going back for Mandot, trimmed him decisively too. in one of the biggest upsets in re cent years. Mandot was coming fast at that time, and only his determina tion to live up to his word kept him from being the lightweight champion of tie world. BOSTON BEATS BROOKLYN; GIANTS IN AN EVEN BREAK Boston, Sept. 13.

The pennant season in the Central association having been finished with Waterloo as victor, attention is now being turned to the make-up of the circuit for the coming season, the d'z posal of players by draft and sale, and the placing of the various managers who have piloted the Central associa tion clubs this season. The battle for the pennant, which was won by Waterloo, closed Sept. 7, and was one of the most exciting ever fought in the history of the circuit. Waterloo won the pennant in the next to the last game with Burlington, the Pilots barely nosing out Muscatine for second place. The race for fourth position between Clinton and Cedar Rapids was also won in the last series by Clinton. The makeup of the circuit is as yet problematical. The only two uncer tainties are Galesburg and Keokuk. There has been some talk of the lat ter city dropping out of the league, imd it is uncertain Just what Keokuk will do. There is a feeling, however, that Keokuk will stick, the attendance there having been sufficient to insure success for a good manager. Galesburg is not at present in a po sition to say what it wants to do next season and it appears to be a matter which rests with the directors of the league whether or not that city will be retained in the circuit. There are two other cities looking with covetous eyes toward the Central association. Dubuque is one, and it is thought that city will attempt to take Galesburg's place, ICed Egan going there as manager with his left-overs if that city gets Into the circuit. The other city is Quincy, which is said to regret its leaving the association sev eral years ago. Standing of the Leagues. 3 NATIONAL LEAGUE. Pet. .574 .554 .543 .536 .473 .458 .446 .431 Boston . .

Maitland in "Chile: Its Land and People,'' you can buy a horse in Santiago for $25 or $30 and for less In the country. In illustration, he quotes a little happening witnessed by Miss May Crommelin In Mendoza; "Up rode a gaucho, dressed in white, if I remember rightly no worse than his fellows, at any rate. He bestrode a nag, sorry enough, yet still capable, and wore a medal round his neck. Off came his hat with a bow of much grace, but he stretched out his hand toward the window grating Imploring alms. 'It's all right; he's one of our beggars. The town has so many li censed ones who are allowed to come round.' said my hostess, looking out over my shoulder. So, instead of dis missing him with a little 'Pardon, lit tle brother, for not giving you any thing, some small coins were placed in his palm. 'Dios lo pagara' (God will repay it), was the dignified response, land with a farewell bow of perfect j politeness this beggar on horseback I rode on." All the news all the time The Argus.

CHICAGO HAS STRONG LINE Shorty Des Jardlen, All-America Se lection, Back at Center Al berts and Scanlon Strong. . .v Urbana, 111., Sept. 15. Making read? for his second season at Illinois, Coach Bob Zuppke is anxiously awaiting re ports from several of his stars, whose eligibility is threatened by scholastlo deficiencies. Not until the Illinl squad formally gathers on Illinois will "Zup" be able to estimate his material. But It is certain that prospects are far brighter than they were a year ago when the little coach took a big Jump from high school to conference ath letics. Up In the Michigan woods for a brief rest before the arduous campaign opens, Zup" is in constant corre spondence with his players. Captain "Slooey" Chapman, who has been pitching hay and running 10 miles a day at Vienna, III., sent word this week that he. is in great physical shape. Harold Pogue, the quarterback sen sation on Illinois field in 1913. has been hard at work at Manistee, Mich, while Bart Macomber has taken daily workouts at South Haven: Chicago Prospects Bright That the University of Chicago will be represented by the strongest center trio of the west If not in the country is the consensus of opinion among the Maroon fans. While the more keen, observers of the gridiron sport agree that this year's team looks formidable from end to end, there has been no In clination on their part to single out any special department Captain Shorty Des Jardlen, center, ajii" Butch Scanlon and John Alberts. guards, are the men touted as the most powerful at their positions. The cap tain, they say. Is admittedly the peer of pivot men. His earning a position on the 1913 ail-American eleven speaks for itself. He has the size, speed and strength to go with his Innate ability. Butch Scanlon, also, should be a fac tor in the team's success. Butch al ways was a fighter. In his first year tne iormer nyae .fara star was mue else, but two years under Stagg havei resulted in his acquiring valuable pointers as to the way In which guard should be played, and he has been changed to an aggressive, hard-working player. Another Waddell Story. Every story told of the late George "Rube" Waddell isn't true. When starring in "The Stain of Guilt" Wad dell's press agent dug up the files of long ago and made him the hero of many escapades, much to the player's delight There's one the press agent didn't evolve, however. It's been told on Waddell by gentlemen of veracity. Back in the days when the corsairs roamed on Smoky Island, Waddell had a habit of loafing around the club of fice, sticking up officials for passes. One afternoon while the rush through the gates was on, Waddell chanced to be in the office. The phone bell sounded. Next to a fire alarm there Is nothing "Rube" admired more than a phone call. He raced to the receiver, yanked it from its perch with a loud "Hello. What's the mat ter?" Waddell listened to a mortal at the other end of the line and then glanced into a corner of the room. "Wait a minute," yelled Waddell Into the trans mitter. With a bound be darted to that corner, grabbed up an umbrella, and rushing over to the phone, held it in front of the mouthpiece and roared: "Is this yours?"
