Tells How They Turned Him

Never Gets Any More Dividends
on His Stock.
SIP ECULATIN ONBALL

Cincinnati, Aug. Adrian c. An
son was in the city today on business,
as he said connected with the enlarg-
ing of his business quarters by securing
part of an adjoining building recently
occupied by the Blue Ribbon company.
The building he wants to lease as we'll
as the one he already occupies is owned
by David Sinton, the aged millionaire
OF this city, and it was to see him An
son came here.
mo, 1 have never sold the stock down
in the Chicago baseball club he said.
Those up there don't seem to want me
to have any considerable bunch OF
money in hand. They appear to be
afraid that 1 might enter the game
again as opposition. They refused to
pay me for it although it was once
worth $3.50 on the dollar. The stock
hasn't paid me q cent of dividend for
three years, ever since Hart has been at
the helm. I don't suppose that it Will
as long as he is in charge.
after twenty-five years service they
turned me down, and they don seem
to have profited much by SO doing Yes,
1 wanted to be president OF the cluD,
but Spalding answered me That
wouldn't be easy l suppose he meant
there was a higher power that would
oppose it. The higher power most likely
was John r. Walsh, the capitalist.
Walsh rules, especially baseball affairs
in Chicago, after a high and mighty
fashion. What the national game wants
all over the land is another league to
oppose the old organization. Then there
would be renewed interest in the game.
You don't hear people talking around
town nowadays about an exciting race
for the baseball trophy. If there were
two big leagues, each would have its
friends and interest would be intense
until finally the successful teams of
each league had met and settled a real
championship. Now, when people talk
about baseball they simply hazard
opinions on what the policy of the league
mOguls is to be. As at present, base
ball is too much like a trust to attain
the popularity that is its due. The Chi
cage league club suffers l believe. be-
cause of an opinion very generally held
rightfully or wrongfully that the Ameri-
can league had to pay the National
league to get into Chicago, therefore
to patronize the new club is indirectly
to aid the old. Each of the present Ma
tional league cities would we'll support
another club in an opposition league,
and should have the chance to do so.
Il think Bill LANCE Would be the man
to succeed to the presidency of the Chi
cage club, although 1 don't know that
he would accept it, as 1 had letter
from him at San Francisco the other
day in which he said he was practically
running his father-fn-law's real estate
business and doing WELL

PROGRESS IS VERY SLOW.
Constructing Quartermaster Is Dis
pleased With Work at
Leavenworth.

Leavenworth, Aug. 4.-"Progress in
the construction of the new buildings
at Fort Leavenworth is being made
very slowly and the work is at least
two months behind expectations" said
Captain Mccarthy, constructing quar-
terTnaster, yesterday. Il have submit
ted my monthly report on Progress on
Public Buildings to the quarterma ster
general of the army and am quite sure
when it reaches the department the
contractors will hear something drop"
More than a month has passed since
the construction began and the very
small showing is indeed trivial when
considered in connection with the large
amount of building under construction
One of the contractors who has eight
buildings under contract had but two
stone masons at work yesterday and
the other two contractors are not any
better off.
Captain Mccarthy is much displeased.
He said that the contractors have been
notified that any request for extension
of time will have to based on other
reasons than mere inability to procure
mechanics or material. Both. he said.
can be obtained to fill the demand and
there is no need for so much unavoid-
able and uncalled for delay. The cap
tain thinks that the sooner the build
ings are completed the earlier they will
be occupied by troops, as the depart
ment will take no steps looking to re-
organization of the school until there
are sufficient buildings to meet the re-
o11irenents.

sHAEKEY PICKS MCCOY.
Says He is More Clever Than Corbett
and Hits Like a Pile Driven.

New York, Aug. 4.-Tom Sharkey
ought to be competent to Judge the re
spective merits of Jim COrbett and
Kid Mccoy, who are matched to fight
on August 80. He has met both men
in the ring and knows their styles. The
sailor has written newspaper article
in which he says:
Il want to say, first, that I am some
what prejudiced against COrbett, but
I'm not going to let that interfere with
my views. They are honestly what
believe. and they can be taken for what
they are worth. 1 hope that COrbetts
head will be knocked off.
Mccoy ought to win that fight. He
will, too, if he is in anything like the
shape he was in when he met me. He'll
have to do it quick, though, for he will
be enough for him to dispose Of my old
enemy.
My reasons for thinking so are these:
Mccoy is a fighter who has two styles.
He is as hard a hitter as any man in the
business. perhaps. - barring FTtzsifn-
mons. His punches are like the kick
of a horse, and I know what I'm talk
ing about, for I got a couple that made
me view a sky full of stars through
roof. He's twice as clever as Corbett
and can feint any man out. Those two
styles of his show that he is that much
better than Corbett. That game of his
of waving his hands in front of his face
is enough to drive an opponent to des-
peration. and when he gets him that far
he knows it. Then it is that he brings
that other game into play, straight
lowed by a right hook. It's like a thun
derbolt, and if Corbett can stand it,
then he's better than 1 ever gave him
credit for"

Wichita Man Says Wife's At

By Friend Who Called at His
Home Too Often.
WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES
Peculiar Affair Between g. w.
Trout and ID. S. Beachy.

Wichita, Aug. 4.-D S. Beachy, by his
attorneys, Dyer & Davis, has brought
suit in the district court against g. w
Trout, in which he asks for damages
amounting to $4,000 for the alleged
alternating Of the affections of his wife.
The petitioner ayers that a happy and
pleasant home was broken UP and his
property almost entirely cOnfiScated,
and his happiness blighted, by reason
of the defendant coming between hus-
band and wife.
The case is more complicated and
made peculiar owing to the fact that in
May a decree of divorce was granted
to Mrs Mary E. Beachy from her hus-
band, D. S. Beaehy, giving her alimony
and her former name of Mary E. Dear
ing. To set aside this decree, a suit
was brought IN the court yesterday
charging that it had been secured by
fraud on the part of the person bring
ing the suit.
The petitioner, Beachy, in his suit
against Trout, states that he and Mary
e. bearing were married in Ell Dorado
in 1887 and that they had lived happily
until in August, 1899. The petitioner
further states that he became acquaint-
ed with the defendant, Trout, in jan
uary, 1899, and that from that time un-
til June, 1900. he and the defendant
were on intimate terms as friends; that
a number of times the defendant had
called at the Beachy home, and on ac-
count of the acquaintance of the two
men, Trout became acquainted with
Mrs Beachy, and that after becoming
acquainted with Mrs. Beachy the visits
of Trout became more frequent, he COM
ing both day and night.
The plaintiff also AYERS that the de-
PENDANT wrongfully and unlawfully per-
suaded the mind of the plaintiffs wife
against the plaintiff and alienated her
affections, by reason of which, on March
%, she left his home, and on May in
stituted divorce proceedings in the dis
trict court, charging him with extreme
cruelty and gross neglect of duty. The
decree was obtained by Mrs. Beachy
and her name changed to that of Dear
ing.

FIGHTERS TRAIN HARD.
Fitzsimmons and Rubin Working
Like Demons to Get in Shape.

New York, Aug. 4.-If Bob Fitzsirn-

which takes place at Madison Square
Garden August 10, the ex-champiOn will
go after Champion Jeffries with both
feet It is Lanky BOb's one ambition to
get on n return match with his conquer
or, and the Cornishman announced to-
day that he would gladly accept Brady
challenge if he was successful with the
Akron giant. FitzSimmons is still grind
ing along at a steady gait down at his
training quarters at Bergen Beach. He
realizes that the only thing that lies be-
tween himself and the championship is
the effort of his life to get back into his
old-tine form.
Fitzsimmons does not consider Rubin
cinch, but, nevertheless he is confident
that he can defeat his opponent in less
s than 10 rounds.

one that he believes me to be. 1 will
stop Rubin before we go half the dis
tance, and after dispose of him 1 will

championship
Fitzsimmons is letting no grass grow
under his feet He has a perfect gym
nasium fitted up where he has every
thing that could be of benefit to him
while training, and. as he is taking no
chances on getting into condition, he
keeps grinding away steadily.
Bob Armstrong, Sharkey's old sparring
partner, is helping Fitzsimmons in the
sparring line, and Lilo Pardella the Ital-
ian champion wrestler, works out daily
with the ex-champion.
RUHLIN WORKS HARD

whipped a better man than Fitzsimmons
when he knocked out Tom Sharkey.
Rubin says he viii show Fitzsimmons

he never seems quite satisfied that he

however, more than pleased with the
way his man is working, and says that
when he meets Fitzsimmons he will
show the pugilists how quickly a good
man can win a fight.
Rubin tumbles out of bed at 6 O'Clock
every morning and takes a run to the
beach, where he takes his daily plunge
in the ocean. After a swim of nearly an
hour he gets back to Madden's home and
eats his breakfast. After q rest he takes
a five or ten mile run over the good
roads which abound around Bath Beach

TROUBLE FOR THE LEAGUE.
McGraw Drops Hint While Denying
Another Rumor.

Baltimore, Aug. 4.-Johnny McGraw
does not seem to take much stock in the
story that he is to be made manager of
the st. Louis team and Tebeau RELOCATED
to back seat What bothers McGraW
more than this is the poor business the
league has been doing all along the line
The situation has now become so critical
he says, that the magnates are believed
to have quietly made an arrangement
among themselves to cut salaries.
There is something doing in baseball
and within few months not only will
the American association rise to plague
the league magnates, but some of the
most prominent players in the country
will be seen in uniforms not worn by
them now.
The best evidence that real plans are
being made lies in the secrecy with which
the movement is hedged. Phil Peterson,
president Of the local company that will
back the enterprise, with McGraw as
manager. recently received a mysterious
letter that elated him. This letter was
from one of the big men in the movement
and gave proof of the progress of the as
sociation, that has bOlstered up the hopes
of the local hackers of the plan.

BIG JIM JEFFRIEs
To Try His Hand at the French Style
of Fighting.

New York Aug. 4.-The astute and re-
sourceful Mr.. Brady sprung a new one

about been forgotten, and maybe Jeems
