HOW ABOUT MILwAUKEE2
Ghe Brewers May Desert the West
ern 4 association.

The question as to where and how Mil
Svaukee will be represented IN the base
ball world next year is still further COM
plicated, says the Milwaukee Sentinel,
by the announcement that the brother
hood of ball players has its eye on Mil
Haukee as a possible city for the broth
erhOOd league, which, it Is said, VIII be
operation next year. The thought OF
Alilwaukee's going into the BROTH
erhOOd7s league had occurred to no
one until a message was received
by a gentleman connected with base
ball in this city, direct from the broth
erhood officials. saying that Milwaukee
was regarded favorably by them as one
of the cities for their league-udder GER
tain conditions-and making inquiries
as to grounds, etc. This is step IN the
movement that may yet bring Mllwau-
kee into the company of the largest ana
best base ball cities in the country.
The brotherhood people DO not commit
themselves in any way further than TO
say tnat they regard Milwaukee with
favor, and in the yet uncertainty OF
their own plans it is difficult to say
what will result from their favorable
view of Milwaukee as a ball center.
The directors of the Milwaukee club
eide to put a club IN here. they can get
Athletic park on very favorable con-
ditiOns.
The directors of the Milwaukee club
are trying TO arrange series OF exhibit
ton games for next week, IN which
Milwaukee. Detroit and Omaha will
have a fight for honOrs on the diamond.
The Detroit club, which has won the
Dennant in the International league
The season closed yesterday-will be at
Milwaukee under any circumstances
for three games. As Omaha is the win
ner of the Western association pennant,
the idea is to bring the two pennant-
winning clubs to battle in Milwaukee.
If the plan as now proposed is carried
out, Detroit and Omaha will play on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and
Detroit and Milwaukee on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday. The two clubs
winning the greatest number of games
out of the series will wind up with a
game on Sunday.

"ROBBED BY THE UMPIRE"
Dave Rowe's Men Make Two Hits
and Ten Errors.

Possibly if Dave Rowe had been in
the field yesterday he would have
claimed that the umpire robbed Denver
of the game. But Dave was down on
the card as extra and the contest was
such palpable give away on the part
of the "Carbonates" that no other man
had the temerity to raise his voice.
Denver began eXcellently in the field
with a double play that retired the
MilleTs without a run. At the bat they
made a good start, too, and when Dali
rymple sent the second ball pitched
over the fence. the local eranks drew a
long breath and murmured ''HudsOn's
going to be pounded to-day" But
Hudson wasn't pounded. He wasn't
touched again until the seventh inning.
when White hit out twO-bagger to
left field. Ten Denverites found the
air in the neighborhood of Hudson's
slow twiSterS, and the balance were re-
tired by the steadiest of fielding on the
part of Hengle. Hanrahan. Miller and
Minnehan. The Minneapolis infeld
played brilliant game in remarkable
contrast with the schOOlboy game put
up by Denver. No less than ten errors
are charged up against Twineham,
White, Dalrymple and Mcclellan, all of
which cost one or more runs. Three
wild pitches by Pagan completed the
record of decentralization of the
visiting team. Minneapolis made a
run IN the second inning on
hits by Hanrahan and Minnehan.
and an error by DalTymple which let
Chrisman to first. In the third Denver
went to pieces. and Minneapolis scored
six times after the side should have
been out on a series of errors. fumbles
and chump plays. Minnehan scored
again in the fourth on his own two
Dagger and errors by Mcclellan and
Twineham. The sixth was character
lied by heavy smuggling, which came,
however, after chances had been offered
to retire the side. Five hits were made
in this inning. which, with the errors
made, resulted in seven runs. In this
inning Reddy Hanrahan DISTINGUISHED
himself by taking three bases on long
hit to center field. Only seven innings
were played owing to darkness. Duke
will be in the box to-day for MinneapO-
lis and DarnbrOUgh or McNabb for
Denver. The score:

SMALL HOLDERS SCARED.
Sugar Trust Certificates Sell Away
Below Par

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.--The rumors re-
Gently prevailing about issues of new
securities by the sugar trust and the
continued decline of the price of raw
sugar in the London market appears to
have struck terror into the hearts of the
small holders. and as result the price
of the certificates dropped rapidly this
morning. The first sale was made at
1919 against 1929, the closing price
yesterday. A rush of long stock then
came out, w. H. Hamilton selling 1000
shares and r. 81. Bissell selling 5000.
The decline started by this selling
reached numberless stop orders, and
their execution carried the price down
to 971z. Then supporting orders ap-
peared, and the price was bid up to co.
During the decline the number of
brokers dealing in the certificates was
the largest since they were traded in on
the stock exchange, and much anxiety
was expressed in regard to the future
or the market for these and other trust
securities. The sugar cable from Lon
don to-day reports the market for raw
sugar there still weak and declining.
