WATKINS is CONFIDENT

He Evidently Takes No Stock I'm the
Reports That Are Coming
from other Cities.

II am not discussing the proposed circuit
of the American League for next year,
said w. II. Watkins. of the Indianapolis
club, last evening, "but you can say that
indianapolis will surely be in the league"
This confidence expressed by President
Watkins should surely be very gratifying
to indianapolis patrons of the game in face
of the many reports that have emanated
from various cities in the country in the
last few days supposed TO come from MEM
hers of the league.
Yesterday il was announced by telegraph
from Baltimore that the American League
next year would be composed of Philadel-
phia, Baltimore. Washington, Buffalo.
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee,
but there is nothing more official in this.

the papers within the last few weeks. each
report being slightly different. Should
Philadelphia be taken into the circuit In
addition to Baltimore and Washington-and
there is nothing to indicate that the Quaker
city will be represented in the league-it Is
more probable that Buffalo will be dropped
than Indianapolis 1t has been suggested
that should Indianapolis be left out of the
American League this city could join
other league which could be organized and
be as strong as the old Western League,
but Indianapolis is too good city to be
dropped from the American League, and
baseball logic and history are against the
of cities that not desirable. Many
reports have been published. but nothing
Official can be given out until the circuit
committee meets in Chicago next week.

the cordial reception which they received
while away. Connie Mack remained I'm the

Mr.. johnson affirmed the statements that
the American League would have clubs in

but would not commit himself as to
whether Buffalo or Indianapolis would be
the third city to go i'm making room for
the Eastern additions. He said: "McGraw
and Robinson will be in control of our
club at Baltimore, and Mr.. Manning will
have the Washington team. We have also
decided upon both the hackers and the
manager for the new Quaker City Club.
but they cannot be announced until the
meeting of the league This meeting will
be held in Chicago in the near future. but
its exact date has not been definitely de-
cided upon. This conference between the
National and the American leagues has
only been talked over in an informal way
and no definite date has been as yet set
for such a meeting. think. however. that
such a conference will be held in the near
future at some city centrally located. We
dc not look for any opposition and do not
court a fight, although We will, of course,
protect our interests. i think, however,
that all matters will be settled amicably
and that the two leagues will act harmoni-
OuSly.''

The 1nterstate-commerce Commission
opened hearing at New York yesterday
in the general postoffice on the complaint
made by the Palmer's dock and the Hay
Produce Board of Trade against the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. Fifteen days
were given in which to sum up the cases
and present briefs, and the case was adj
1ourned. This hearing was followed by a
general inquiry into Undertaking. of mer-
chandise in an effort on the part of the
commission to learn to what extent under
billing was practiced. Robert G.. Steven
son, of the Trunk-line Association was first
called and stated that he had found in New
OF misrepresentation in the description of
freight whereby lower rate was obtained
than would be possible otherwise. Mr.
Stevenson testified that per cent of the
merchandise shipped out of New York was
misdescribed so that a lower freight rate
might be obtained than the shipper was
entitled to.
Manager Joyce, of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, said that the report of the inspectors
was not final; that the roads were notified
OF the change made in the billing and they
then decided whether the shipper the In
spector had made the proper classification.
He said there were very few cases where
he could say positively that shippers in
OF the freight shipped, and when they did
Ii was done at the instance of the mer-
chants to whom the goods are shipped.
Of the New York Central Railroad, testified
that he knew of no cases in which large
shippers, who loaded on sidings misrepre-
scented goods shipped. Where goods were
misrepresented he was inclined TO think *
was generally done by occasional shippers
and in many cases this Misrepresentation
was not Intentional but was done because
they were not familiar with the various
classifications. Mr.. Guilford further stated
that 1t was expected that Frank Harriott,
chairman OF the New York grain committee,
would look after all grain which came into
Buffalo for shipment to New York city,
whether for domestic consumption or ex-
port. Mr.. Harriott. he said. was TO act as
the joint agent of the railroads on the floor
of the Produce Exchange. He also said
that prior TO Mr.. Harriott's appointment
Of sharp competition between the several
roads, and ii was partially to keep a uni
form rate and prevent the cutting of rates
that the roads decided to have one Joint
agent instead of each road having a special
agent on the floor of the Produce Elk
change. The instructions which were given
TO Mr.. Harriott were not reduced to writ
committee thoroughly understood what his
duties were TO be. 1t was decided that the
wheat, rye, corn, oats and fiaxseed should
be divided between the several railroads.
but he refused to say what per cent. of the
whole the New York Central would receive
Mr.. Guilford said that since the agreement
between the roads the traffic had been dis
ance with that agreement. There is no
pool he said, NOR payment OF money by
one road to another According to the
agreement each road is TO have a certain
proportion of the business, and that is be-
ing done as nearly as possible.

BIG SALE OF SEATS.

the Football Game.

The advance sale of seats for the Indi-

Of any former athletic event ever held i'm
this city. The seats were put on sale early
yesterday morning, and before noon over
half of the grand stand boxes had been

stand Coach Horne telegraphed from
Bloomington asking that 500 seats be re-
served in one section for the Indiana stu
dents and that 200 more be held for Bloom
ington citizens who will come from that
city TO see the game. Athletic Director
Huff. of Illinois. wired Manager Carr yes
terday to check off section of $50 seats
for the Illinois delegation. Requests have
also been received from De Pauw students
and from both Charlottesville and Frank
lin. A special train will be run TO Indian
apolis from Greencastle. leaving that city
about IL o'clock. There will also be dele
cations here from Marion, Muncie and An
derson. Several of the Indiana players
live in the gas belt and their friends have
promised TO turn out in force to see them
play in big game.
Manager Carr, of Illinois, has received
invitation from the University Club in
which the courteses of the club are ex-
tended TO the players of the two elevens
and stating that the members or the club
VIII entertain the players INFORMALLY sat
urday night. Many members OF the Uni
versity Club are Eastern college men who
have in their college days witnessed the
historic struggles between the big four
and have not forgotten the brilliant con-
tests and intense enthusiasm which they
aroused. In Saturdays game they will
have an opportunity OF seeing touch of
real football. possibly not as finished as
the Harvard, Yale and Princeton games,
but contest which will rank far ahead OF
any game ever played in this city. There
will be the accompanying delegations of
shouting students, the intense enthusiasm
and the same heartbreaks over defeat and
wild enthusiasm over victory
The officials for the big game have not
yet been decided upon. but i'm all PROBABLE
ity both the referee and umpire will be Sc
lccted from the corps OF Chicago football
experts who officiate in all OF the big
Western games. This will insure not only
correct rulings, but prevent any inten-
tional rough play which has marred so
many of the games played in this city in
the last few years. Both managers will
insist on clean. straight football. and while
the game will be fercely fought there will
be no attempt at prize ring tactics or foul
play. The bigger Western college players
have learned the difference between hard
football and rough-and-tumble football
and both Indiana and Illinois have little
use for the latter style of game.
