ANEW SUGAR CANE.
A Franklin County Man Will Plant
the Louisiana Variety.

Paola, Feb 2s.-John Baldwin, a
prominent farmer of Franklin county,
was in Paola a short time between
trains Wednesday on his way home
from Dallas, and other points in Texas,
where he had been visiting. He brought
back a quantity of cotton seed and will
experiment with it on his farm. He
also made arrangements to have ship
ped to him this spring a quantity of
Louisiana sugar cane which he will
plant on his farm.
This cane is different from ours in
that it produces no seed. The stalk is
planted and from the joints the plant
grows. It is much richer in Saccharine
than our northern cane and Mr.. Bald
win thinks it will flourish here.

RYAN-RooT MATCH.
Two Thousand of the Proposed Wager
Deposited.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 2S.-Tommy
Ryan, in the presence of a crowd of
sporting men in the Southern club,
handed 81 900 today to Leo Mayer, stake
holder, as first deposit of his wager of
$1,000 to Dan Stuart's $500 that Jack
Root cannot defeat the Syracusean in
glove contest. Stuart also give Mayer
81 900. In case either refuses to make
good the bet two weeks previous to the
date of the battle, the man who de-
faults loses his forfeit
The money will remain up to May 80.
In case no club offer is acceptable, then
Ryan is willing to fight Root in private
for the $500, the aggregate of the wa
gers. Champion Jim Jeffries will put
up half of Ryan's $4,000 wager. The
fight will be for the middle-weight
championship.
George Siler will be accepted as ref
cree by all parties interested, but there
is a hitch in the arrangements for the
fight. AS the match will be for less than
20 rounds, the fight will not take place
in Chicago, but Lou Houseman, now
wants his man to weigh in at 162
pounds at o'clock of the battle day.

WATKINS SUPPORTS JOHNSON.
Club to Be Placed in Chicago, Regard
less of Harris Wishes.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 28.-Manager
Watkins. of the Indianapolis baseball
club, came here from Chicago today,
where he held a conference with Presi-
dent Ban Johnson. of the American
league. He says Johnson will pay no
attention to the protests of President
Hart against placing an American
league team in Chicago, and that the
St Paul team will be transferred to
that city at once and strengthened with
the best material at hand.
An effort will be made to arrange
dates that will not conflict with home
games Of the National league club, but
beyond this Johnson will not consider
the wishes of Hart or the National
league magnates. Watkins intimated
today that when the national agree
ment expires the American league pro-
poses to be in a position to divide the
best territory in the country with the
National league and make a fight for
it if necessary. 1t is believed that the
Chicago club is the first move to this
end.

doors, but would soon return. Failing
to return, as he said he would, Mrs.

SALARIES OF PLAYERS
Cut by Brush and Freedman, Says an
Eastern Journal.

O0S ny 640S4 anu G4CC0AAoA1 49,
Eastern Journal.
New York, Feb. 2S.-The Sun today
says:
Unable to brighten the BROOKLYN
Baltimore baseball syndicate with
threats of throw downs and freeze
outs" the broad-minded clique that is
directing the affairs of the National
League has hit upon a new plan of at
tack Somebody has discovered that
Willie Keller did not sign a Brooklyn
contract until last season was nearly
over, and that a majority of the games
played by the Superbas were Illegal be-
cause of the existence of the rule that
no player can indulge in more than
five games without signing a contract.
From one of Brush's agents comes a
vail that the league could justly de-
priVe the Brooklyns of the pennant on
this alleged technicality, and, although
the league directors have already Off
ciallY awarded the pennant to the
champions. their action can be re-
scinded AS a matter Of fact Keeler
signed a regular contract and got his
salary on the regular pay days, so such
d ridiculous argument is unworthy of
repetition. But it is indicative of feel
ing of jealousy that exists among the
Tnagnates who cannot have champion
ball teams for the asking. 1t is not far
out of the way to say that the cham
pionship won by the Brooklyns so c1ev-
some of the malignant attacks aimed
at the Baltimore Brooklyn syndicate.
Freedman and Brush are prosecuting
players by making arbitrary use of the
reserve rule. Rusie, Hartman and
Joyce have returned their 1900 contracts
to the New York club with the informa-
ton that the salaries offered were be-
meath their notice. AS Freedman will
not accede to their demands, these
players must remain out of the bust
ness in which they have secured a live
lihood until they see fit to bow the knee.
Brush is pursuing similar tactics with
Hawley and Selbach. who must retire,
too, unless they consent to swallow
bitter medicine. New York and Gin
cinnati since their ball clubs passed
into the hands of these magnates, have
never cut much of a figure in the cham
pionship race, and baseball critics aver
that there will never be a pennant in
either city until radical changes in the
management of the teams are made.

BALDWIN's HIGH AIM.
California Horseman Will Try For the
Derby at Chicago.

San Francisco. Feb. 2S.-'Lucky'' Bald
win, who is having a string of race horses
fitted for the spring race meeting at Chi
cago, will make an attempt to win the
American Derby at Washington Park
Baldwin's coIors in that race will be
borne by Norford, a son of the Emperor
of Norfolk, who was once a winner of the
Derby. Baldwin says his horse has all
the speed of his sire. and is much soqnder
than the old horse ever was. The horse
is in training, but no line has been given
on what he can do. 1t is likely that Bald
win himself will not take an active part
in racing, but the horse will bear his col
OrS on the track.

Porto Ricans Protest Against Amend
ed Tariff Measure.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The members
of the several delegations from Porto
Rico, now in Washington, having read
the compromise measure adopted at
the Repu blican conference, have united
in a statement to congress in which
they say that the idea and theory of a
tariff is repugnant to them and that
they are content to stand before their
people and the people of the United
States on the general broad proposition
that the island is entitled to receive abb
solutely free commercial relations at
once.
They call attention to the fact that
the United States government through
the state department, recently negotia-
ted q treaty with the island of Trinidad
in the West Indies which is British
Porto Rico. by the terms of which
treaty Trinidad is to receive from the
United States free of duty all articles
of machinery and implements and ar
ticles of husbandry and nearly all food
supplies, the free list for Trinidad in
this treaty being larger than the list OF
articles now admitted free to Porto
Rico by executive orders, all OF which
it Is proposed to tax under the tarin Dill
now pending in congress. The delega-
lions consider this unfair.
