Agent of the Beers Snid to Be In Chi
cREO.
A dispatch from Minneapolis, Mimi, says:
1t has been learned in Minneapolis that
agents of the Transvaal government are in
Chicago, seeking to enlist Americans for
service in the ranks of the Beers There
are in Minneapolis several ex-members of
the 18th Minnesota who are anxious to go
to the Transvaal. but they believe the Beers
must be defeated, sand: they consider en-
listment in their behalf almost as a forlorn
hope.
Two ex-members Of the 18th have COM
municated with the representative of Great
Britain in Chicago in regard to service in
the Transvaai., The reply they received
was that the only way IN which they could
get to South Africa soldiers would be to
go to Canada and enlist. and after that
take big chances of ever being called into
African service. This was not by any
means what they wanted, and they have
therefore dropped the idea of joining either
the Boer or British forces. How the ex-
soldiers learned of the presence in Chicago
OF a Boer agent they decline to say. They
say they know there is there but
further than that they will not say.

as result Columbia atfonce jumps to the
front as a factor in the big foot ball games
of the future. The victory of Cornell over
Princeton is also a notable event but the
Ithaca boys have for years been tough op-

The game at Chicago was hard fought,
and while the representatives of William
Penn did not win, their playing is said to
have been a big Improvement over their
past performances on fthe grdiron. The

them as more than probable victors.
The game at Cambridge was hard one,
as was expected. but the high score made
by Harvard proved surprising to many.
Heretofore the Indians have kept the big

it was thought the game would hinge on
one or two goals The wet weather and
muddy grounds were big factors in Har-

Louisville Buys Out Pittsburg.

The latest news from Pittsburg once
more emphasizes the fact that the National
League will consist of only eight clubs next
season. 1t Is to the effect that the owners
of the Louisville club have bought a ma
jority of the stock of the Pittsburg club
and will consolidate the players of both
teams into the one that will represent the
smoky city In the National League in the
future Mr.. Phil Auten, a resident of Chi
Cago, has for several years past owned
majority of Pittsburg stock, and it Is this
holding that has been bought By the Louis
Vile people. Harry Pulliam. the genial
treasurer of the Colonies, will be treasurer
and manager of the Pirates, and the team
he has given out to represent the smoky
city next season is as follows: Catchers
thinner, Bowerrnan and Schriver pitchers
Tannehill, Lever, Cunningham, WaddeI
and Philippe; first baseman Wagner; sec
end baseman, Ely; third baseman, Leach
shortstop, Williams; left fielder and cap
tain, Fred Clarke; center fielder, Beau
mont; right fielder, Dexter, and utility
man, RitChey.

Temporary Block in New York.

In New York there is a group of men with
money who have been anxious for the past
couple of years to get into base ball, and
the only obstacle that confronts them is
Magnate Andrew Freedman of the Ma tional
League Club and his tremendous and infiu-
entail backing in Tammany Hall. The gen.
tlemen who want to go into the new as
ISOLATION in New York close friends of
Freedman and hesitate to work on opposi-
tion lines. This situation in the great me-
tropolis is what will have to be overcome
by the western representatives of the new
lea que and there is more than fair chance
that the little tangle will be Strengthened
out to the satisfaction Of all the parties
concerned.
Here in Washington the situa ton revolves
around Mr. Scanlon. He is about the only
nan in the city willing to go into base ball
and back up the venture with brains and
money. He is surrounded by a group of
base ball enthusiasts but their knowledge
of the inside workings of club is very
meager and for this reason they are hold
ing back. Outside of Philadelphia, New
York and possibly Boston there is not
better base ball city in the country than
Washington. The National League mag
mates and the representatives of the new
association are fully aware of this fact.
and 1t can be definitely stated that this
city will be in one of the big organizations.

L H E LOCAL GU TLOOK

The representatives of the western end of
st. Louis and Quinn of Milwaukee, passed
through Washington yesterday on their way
to New York, where a meeting of the own
ers magnates of the new clubs will be
held next Saturday.
The two gentlemen named held long
conferences yesterday with Mr. Michael
Scanlon, who was one of the originators of
the new association. While not at liberty
to go into the details of the arrangements
already made by the men back of the new
movement, Mr. Scanlon said this morning
to a Star reporter that If the local gentle
ting their money into the new venture knew
the real situation all hesitancy would dis
appear. The western section of the cir
cult has been completed in all its details as
to backing, grounds and players. and within
the next week or two Ii is almost an as
sured fact that the eastern division will be
put in shape and will be ready to transact
business.
1t is not breaking any condolences to say
that the eastern clubs will be New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, and
that the only two places in which mission
airy work will have to be done. in the way
of getting backward capitalists into line
are New York and Washington. In the
makeup of the new associations eastern
circuit Boston has been left out heretofore,
but 1t can now be emphatically said that
the beaneaters are in line with plenty of
capital end that the grounds have already
been selected.
