Kelley 70 Quit BROOKLYN.

One of the big Four on the cham
piOn brooklyn team has declared that
he viii not play under Hanlon another
season. Joe Kelley, the crack fielder
and captain of the team. is on the outs
with the clever manager Kelley is
quoted by the Washington Post as fol-
lows:
Mr. Wagner also made it known that
an effort would be made to secure Cap
tain Joe Kelley, the noted left fielder
and field director of the champion
Brooklyn Superbas. OF course, this eff
fort to purchase Kelley viii depend on
the action of the league owners at next
weeks meeting.
If the Big Eight clubs decide to pur-
chase the franchises of the Little Four,
the negotiations for Kelley Will natur-
ally be declared off. But the cOntinu-
ance of Washington in the twelve-club
league viii mean that Earl Wagner will
offer big inducements to HanlOn for
Kelley, in the way of players or a large
cash offer.
Kelley has informed the writer that
nothing would please him better than
to play ball in Washington next season
as captain of the Senators. Il hope Mr..
Wagner will try to get me, and if I can
help him land me then I viii be on the
spot and push the negotiations along"
cumstances play ball for Hanl0n any
play for HanlOn are not altogether of
a personal nature But I believe I will
be more contented to play in Washing
ton, and if Hanlon insists on holding
my release, then I will get out of the
game altogether.

NEED A RISTORIAN.
Who Shall Write Record of Republi-
can Party in Kansas.

An interesting question has been rails
ed by the arrival in Topeka of a repre-
sentative of an eastern magazine, who
comes to compile a history of the Re
publican party of Kansas for publica-
ton at an early date.
The gentleman is now here and is at
work. His first steps are calls upon the
Republicans to ascertain who will write
the history; in other words to obtain
the consensus of opinion among the
members of the party as to the man
who, in their opinion, is to be selected
as the party historian in the state.
These preliminary visits have result
ed in d diversity of opinion which shows
the wide scope of the views of some of
the party leaders as to the right man
to assume this responsibility.
Some men have suggested ex-GOver-
nor Morrill,; others want Ex-Governor
st. John to unload his storehOuse of
knowledge up to the time he abandon
ed the faith; D. r. Anthony has been
suggested; Cyrus Leland and General
Hudson have been mentioned; others
want to call in Noble Prentis; Tim Nc
Carthy of Larned James H Reeder Of
Hays City; Jim Troutman of Topeka;
p. I. BOnebrake, Topeka; Tim Slower,
lola; John J. ingalls,. Jim Legate, J. r.
Burton, Samuel T Howe, Topeka; A. J

Chicago, Dec. Eff the run on the
fight pictures continues at the present
rate for a few months they viii earn a
fortune for Martin Julian. These rep
licas of the Jefries- Sharl1ey contest up
to the final performance last week had
a record of nearly SIG 600 receipts. At
no single night exhibition since the pic
lures first appeared at the Lyric thea
ter have the receipts dropped to less
than 81 OO0 but a number of them have
exceeded double this amount.
The average daily attendance during
the week has been ., 500 persons. As the
pictures will run in Chicago four weeks
the mana cement of the theater calcu-
lates that the total receipts of the en-
gagement viii be in the neighbOrhOOd of
$50 600. They are at least safe in the
expectation that the total will be not
less than $40. 900.

The veteran actor has visited Topeka
but once since he abandoned Faust, %
appearing here two years ago in The

Richard Mansfield in a spectacular
work. His new role is said to fit him
better than any he has yet attempted

To students of history it may appear
almost impossible to weave a humorous

such has proven a phenomenally brill

has been accepted by the leading dra-

Gardiner was unable to land a knock out
blow despite the fact that his manager,

Wonderful Stories Told of His Re-

Jim Jeffries is not a great fighter, be-
ing anything but aggressive in nature,
but his strength is prOdigiOus.
This was proven in his battles with
Fftzsimmons and Sharkey, for while
they outboxed him, they could not beat
him down.
As a matter of fact. Jeffries comes
of a family noted for its strength.
The tales of the wonderful feats of
strength performed by Jeffries when
he was a young boiler maker have been
told and retOld and now new stories are
being recounted of the wonderful
strength of other members of the jeff
ries family.
The best of these are about the cham
piOn pugilist's first cousin, who lives at
Celina, O., and who is also named Jim
JeffrieS.
This man, according to all accounts.
IS possessed of remarkable strength,
but is not a believer in pugilism-
