given them cent. The National league
magnateS have satisfied themselves that
the new league is not going to injure
them. They know that rot half a dozen
deliberate major league players will be
won over to the experimental organza-
ton. Therefore, they are willing 10 give
to the invading body such towns as they
do not want-in fact, such towns as they
want to get rid of.
But what about the American league
or Western league? What about me pro-
lection for which we have been paying
for years? TT ''--~l league mag
mates know that the American associa-
ton has counted on drawing it's players
from the American league all along, yet
now, instead of helping us, they talk of
aiding the new association, and, what is
more, of giving it cities that we desire
and for which we have been asking for
years. Is that what we have been paying
for for years?
Il can hardly believe President Soden
has said what he is credited with, yet
the interview looked genuine. The last
time L saw him. in New York, Mr.. So
den came to me and warmly congratu-
lated me and the Western league on the
way its affairs have been conducted He
even declared he was proud of u.s. Yet
now he would help destroy us and go
over to those who originally sought to
lnJure the National league as well as U.s.
But L am not so !surprised, after all

Tor years that this protection business
was all humbdg. 1 hate to say I am
convinced that 10 isy for l want to see
harmony maintained in base ball. but it

does not provide merely for the welfare
OF the National league, and the magrates

refused at all times to show any act

local teams Interference here was not
| open to criticism.
Brennan landed the ball between the
poles and the score was q to 0. Five
minutes later Liggett ran around the left
end for another touchdown from the cen
ter of the field. Henry O'Brien made Z
touchdown, but the ball was taken back
by the umpire, as it was carried out Of
bounds. Two more tOuchdowns in rapid
succession, worked from the ends by
Dougherty and Liggett. made the score
SO to 0.
The second half was rather less inter
esting than the first. Quincy tried his
men on end plays, but, although they did
better than through center, they exhib-
tied an unfamiliarity with such tactics
and the chief started in to play the game
himself, as his team went to pieces The
score would have been much larger were
1t not for his superb tackles The re.
naming plays were, like the others, made
around the end. TOuchdowns were made
during the balance of the play by Fry
who made fine run from the sixty-yard
line, three in succession by Thompson,
and two by Liggett, which brought the
score to 81 to 0.

Defeated Brown Eleven in n Bril-
IiantIy Played Game.

CHICAGO, Nov 20.-The University of
Chicago finished her triumphant series
today. by defeating Brown by score of
II to 6. Only twice in the game did Brown
menace the Maroon goal, and each time
Chicago braced with fine spirit, and saw
ed her goal from the rushes Of the Rhode
Islanders. From center to the end the
Maroons outpointed Brown, and gave an
exhibition of consistent defense which she
has seldom surpassed.
AT no time was Brown able to score
through the line, while Chicago found
large holes at will. and sent. her fast
backs around the visitors ends for spec
tacular runs Back of the line Richard
son proved q jewel for Brown, and made
the only score of the visitors. In the re-
turn of punts both kicking and running,
he showed himself to be one of the clev-
crest backs in the country. HapGood also
played a brilliant game for Brown, and
almost scored single handed before Chi
cage rallied with her back to the goal
posts.
With defeat staring her in the face,
Brown made a grand rally in the second
halt and seemed to gain strength as the
half progressed. When darkness inter-
Vened she had scored, and was charging
into ChicGgos line with fierce low rushes
that showed her spirit was rot broken.
Without Capt. Kennedy, Chicago's de-
Tense Was still faultless, and her offense
lacked little Of its accustomed force
The day was ideal, and 10000 people
crowded the big stands and sang to the
music of the band.

FORM FINALLY TOLD.
Champion De Orc Defeated PeytOn
at Pool.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30-Alfred de ORC,
the champion pool player, won the first
nights play tonight in his match for the
championship title against Fred Peyton,
OF Omaha, at Maurice Days academy,
the score being POS against 1872
Peyton appeared nervous when he
stepped to the table, and was successful
in pocketing only two balls from De
Oro's break. The Cuban scored u and
then scratched. He also gathered in the
majority of the points in the second and
third frames, at the close of which De
Orc led by the score of 81 to 6. The
Western expert steadied down in the next
few frames, and his cue work became
brilliant His shots for position were all
well executed. and he displayed consid-
cradle nerve and good judgment in max
ing combinations from the lunches
In the tenth frame Peyton went to the
front, the score being So to 65. He in
creased this lead by demonstrating his
ability to overcome De Oro's safety play
and his mastery of the cue ball.
At the close Of the fourteenth frame the
Westerner passed the 100 mark, with ILL.,
against 80 for De Orc.
The chammpimon repeatedly jawed the
ball on easy shots, which he afterward
attributed to trying to play right-handed
At the twenty-third frame Peyton had
a lead Of forty-one balls, but De Orc
pulled up by masterful play and ran out
his string first

NEW YORK. Nov 3O.-The football
eleven Of Columbia was beaten by the
Carlisle Indians at MAMMA ttan field to-
day, As to 0. There We're probably 10000
people within the enclosure, and fully as
many moro on the vfaduct. This was bv
long odGs the severest beating Columbia
has received this season. Their team lined
up exactly as on the day they defeated
Yale.
The Indians were in prime physical con-
clifton, and tore through the Columbia
line and skirted the ends at will. At
least eight times the Carlisle becks e.ot
around the end for runs of from thirty to
sixty yards Most of these runs were
made by Seneca and Miller Weeks ston
ped most of them by beautiful tackles
but on two occc sions he was dragged
over the line by main strength On all
most every occasion the Indians took the
ball back twenty yards, and twice the
catcher got back ten yards. Metoxen
plunged through the line frequently for
gains. Columbia held the Indians for
downs but three or four times during
the game.

$40 o'clock On the first lineup Column

Carlisle forced Columbia to punt, and the
ball was the Indians in the center of tho

MISSOURI sMOTHERED.
Kansas Eleven Inundated the Wis.,
itfng Team.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 30.-Kansas
untversity's eleven administered a hu-
initiating drubbing to the eleven of Mis-
souri, at Exposition park today, winning
by a score of "a to 6. The score at the
end Of the first half was: Kansas, %;
Missouri, 0.
From the start the Kansans played
with great snap. They moved like clock
work, worked around Missouri's ends al
most at will, and pushed wherever they
desired. Just before the first half
closed Smith, Kansas right guard, tried
a place kick from the thirty-yard line
and sent the ball squarely between the
goal posts, setting the Sunfower cohorts
wild. Missouris score was made five
minutes before the game ended, Thur
man scoring a touchdown and kicking
goal.
Both teams had trained faithfully for
weeks, and each was considered the
strongest put forth by their college for
several years. Each expected a hard
tussle, and even the supporters of Kan
sas were surprised at their easy victory.
In the betting Kansas was the favorite,
but the Missourians, who had sent in
the biggest contingents from surround
ing towns for years, backed their team
literally. One bet was for $1,000 to 500
on Kansas.
The weather was damp and cold, and a
regular Kansas gale was blowing.

we have gone along for years in
conciliatory spirit, observing in every
way the obligations Of the national agree

brought us no advantages. We have con-
Quoted our league in a manner that was

tons We stuck to the big league be-
cause we thought in the long run IT would
be best. But they have never granted US
favor and have never shown the slight
est disposition TO encourage us IN any
way. AS We prospered and desired to
enlarge our scope they refused to grant
US the territory in which to do It, even
though 1t could have been done without
any sacrifice on their part. And now they
may decline even to stick by US according
to the terms of the agreement which they
themselves drew up"
Magnate COmiskey was not so sure that
President Soden had been correctly quot
ed. Said he: so far as regards Soden's
