Of Fifth Place.
BOSTON AND QUAKERS

New York, Oct. 1s.-The last sche-
duled games of the national league
clubs will be played on Sunday, Octo-
ber Is and on that day the season
closes.
All of the eastern teams play their
last scheduled games next Saturday.
Boston then meets Philadelphia at Bos-
ton, Brooklyn plays Baltimore at Brook
lyn and Washington meets New York
at New York.
The Cincinnati club goes to Cleveland
where it is scheduled to play games on
Friday and Saturday of this week. On
Sunday it will close it's season at home
with the Cleveland club as its oppo-
nent.
The Louisville club will form part of
the double-header at Chicago on Sun
day next and will close its season there
as will the st. Louis team.
Pittsburg plays its last game at home
on Saturday, the Louisville team being
its opponent.
BY not playing Wednesday, wet
grounds preventing its final meeting of
the season with Cincinnati, the StLOuiS
club cinched its lead over the aggrega-
tion and fifth place will be their posi-
tiOn in the championship race. Boston
furthered its advantage over the Phil
lies, and second place looks assured for
the New Englanders.
All season the Boston club has been
easy picking for the Phillies, but at this
critical stage of the campaign the New
Englanders are making monkeys of the
renowned Quaker sluggers and cinch-
ing second position in the league race.
Previous to the opening at Boston
Tuesday the Phillies had the series won
7-2. Tuesday, as we'll as Wednesday,
they were beaten by the former cham
piOns, decisively in each case, as they
failed to score a single tally in either
game. The great pitching of Teddy
Lewis and Victor Willis is made to
loom up all the more prominently, as
Manager ShettsIine made every effort
to put his strongest batting front in the
games, Chiles remaining a fixture on
first and Lajoie taking Thomas place
in center. Had the Boston players
shown anything like the form in other
stages of the race that they have in
their last two meetings with the Quak-
ers they would have duplicated their
feat of the past two seasons and be
crowned the leagues champions. The
Phillies have still three games to play
with the Bostons, and in order to gain
place honors they will have to win all
three.

PoPULIsT SLATE
Men Who Will Probably Be Nomina-
ted Next Year.

Among the Populists who are mentioned
in connection with places on the state
ticket next year is Judge J. w. Bowlus of
Fort Scott who will be a candidate for
state treasurer. He was candidate in
1896 but went to Idaho on mining business
and became much interested that he
did not return to Kansas to look after his
political interests.
David Hefiebower will again seek the
nomination.
1t is conceded by the Populist managers
that Judge David Martin of Atchison will
be nominated for justice of the supreme
court against the present justice w. A.
Johnston, Republican who is likewise a
candidate for denomination.
Ex-Associate Justice Allen of this city
has been selected for the nomination as
presiding judge of the court of vista atiOn.
One place is conceded to J. Mack Love,
chairman of the state Democratic central
committee.
Sam Bishop of Lawrence. a Democrat
with congressional aspirations is talked
of for the position of solicitor for the
court.
In the event w. l. Brown of Kingman
does not get into the congressional cam
Paign in the Seventh district it is said
he Will again be a candidate for state
printer. Mr.. Brown was defeated in the
last POpulist legislature for that position
by John S. Parks of Beloit.

her family. And would the colonel
kindly advance $500 to defray the ex-
penses of Mrs. CoOley's visit? The
Cooleys were to embark in hOusekeep-
ing the coming summer, and Mrs. G.
needed some money to buy furniture
for Richards happy home. Colonel
Rogers was only too glad to aid Rich
ard, and forwarded a check for $10O
more than Richard touched for. Dick
split the money among the needy play
colonel that Dick was still a bachelor
and had told a whopper.
THAT settled Dick with the colonel.
So, you see, in sacrificing himself for.
his players Cooley hammered a death
nail in his coffin. Dick is one of the
most talented players in the league,
and would strengthen any team in need
of a second baseman if he could get
away from the associations and temp
tations in Philadelphia"

LATE WESTERN LEAGUE
Will Begin Next Season April "a
With a 5-Month Schedule.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-After making sew
eral minor changes in the constitution
of the New American Baseball league.
composed of all tha clubs of the late
Western league, the league representa-
tives in session here adjourned Thurs
day until March IA. At the next meet
ing the new directors will take up the
work of arranging the schedule.
President B. B. Johnson announced
that it has been almost definitely de-
cided that next seasons games will
open April "a, 25 and 26. The number
of players which each club is permit
ted to claim was reduced to 10, with
the additional provision that the list
of players of each team be revised
monthly by the board. The question
of revising the circuit and the forming
of clubs in Chicago and Cleveland were
not considered and according to Presi-
dent Johnson it is probable the circuit
will remain the same as last year. All
the directors present were satisfied
that an Improvement could be made by
arranging a five month schedule for
next year, and this resolution was
adopted almost without a dissenting
voice,

WHAT SETTLED DICK COOLEY.
Tells Fairy Story About a Would-be-
Bride to Get Advance Money
to Aid His Men.

The Washington Post is responsible
for the following story on Dick Cooley:
''Dick Cooley's goodness of heart,
combined with a big white lie, was re-
sponsibIe for his unpopularity with the
owners of the Philadelphia club" says
Twirler Jack MCGEE.
when the PhiIIies were training in
the south last spring Cooley, who was
captain Of the team, was informed OF
the financial state of affairs that ex-
listed among certain players on the
team They were broke fat, and
couldn't muster up the nerve to make
a touch on the management. Cooley
came to the rescue of the broken ball
tossers under his charge by writing
letter to Colonel Rogers, informing the
colonel that a certain lady IN Topeka,
Kan, had consented the previous Win
ter to become the helpmate of one
Richard Cooley. Dick informed the col
onel that his bride was anxious to visit

OCEAN RATES ADVANCE.
Owing to the Chartering of Transports
For War Purposes.

New York, Oct. 13.-According to
ocean freight agents in the produce
exchange, Atlantic freight rates have
advanced on an average of five shillings
a ton. This increase is due to the fact
that the English government has char
tered over eighty steamships More
than ene-half of these were used in the
Atlantic trade. Agents say that they
will not know what boats have been
taken until the steamships are ready
to leave the other side. Then they Will
be notified that the vessels have been
taken. Within the last few weeks ocean
freight rates are said to have advanced
25 to 80 per cent.
