BALL MAGNATES ARGUE
Yesterdays SESSION A "wAR OF
WORDS, MIR. YOUNG SAYS.
MT. Brusb's Syndicate Scheme Again
Under DiscussiOn-A COmprO-
mise Possible.

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.--An absolute dead
dent of the National League to succeed n.
E. Young, and the magnates Of the Ma
tional League only argued to-day away at
the Fifth-avenue Hotel. AS announced by
President Young at the conclusion of the
day session, mo baseball history was made
as the outcome of the war of words"
The sessions, each of several hours du-
ration. were held as usual to-day. The
first was called at 3 o'clock and lasted
until G. The evening session began at
o'clock and was not over until late to-
night
the way one of the men referred TO the
heated debate of three hours which oc-
Cured in the afternoon. 1t was said, how
ever, that the syndicate baseball scheme.
which was defeated yesterday, was brought
up again to-day and that over this the
magnates argued pro and con, John T.
Brush leading in the debate. Strenuously
opposed 10 this measure were the Brook
lyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago
magnates. Behind Mr. Brush were ar
rayed the men from Boston, New York
and st. Louis. The chances that the Brush
combination will win a victory are said TO
be very small. 1t is believed that some
kind of a compromise is all that Mr.. Brush
can expect.
President Young announced that there was
nothing for publication. 1t was said, now
ever, by one of the League magnates that
during the night session vote was taken
on the presidency, with the result that the
deadlock continued, the vote standing 4
to 4.

KEY of Chicago. and one or two more
American League men on Saturday. The
significance OF their presence could not be
learned tonight.
Freedman has demanded that the League
make good his $4,000 guarantee for carry
ing Manhattan Field. BY this il will be
seen that Manhattan Field did not make a
cent the past season. Two years ago
Freedman forced the magnates TO pay the
rental OF Manhattan Field. on the ground
that If il was not carried along by the
New York Club some rival organization
might slip in and secure the grounds.

fifteen-round bout before the Monroe Ath-

clever blocks and clean lands by the quick
colored man. Judge was angry at the de-
cision and looked to have the best Of it,
though the defense Of McWinters was at
times marvellous. Blows in clinches were
allowed and most of the work was done
then. No blood or knock-down was record

each round. John Burns, of Cincinnati,
was behind Judge. Charles Marshall and

HEATING THE WHITE HOUSE.
Open Fireplaces Made Use of by the
President.
Washington Special.


With a thought to solid comfort the
architects of the White House planned an
open fireplace for almost every room in the
house, but not since the furnaces were put
in, years ago. have they been generally
used until the advent of President Roose-
welt and his family. Mrs. Roosevelt always
has open fires in the rooms in which she
receives her guests on reception days.
The President and, in fact, the entire
family uses the library more than has any
Presidents family in many years, and an
open fire glows on the hearth all the time.
Each of the other living rooms have open
CRATES, and they are kept in use most OF
the time. In the executive part of the
White House the open fires also are used,
and nothing so accentuates the Southern
air of the White House as the carrying of
coal in huge scuttles from room to room
TO replenish the fires.
1t is a matter OF unceasing interest to
the Northern-bred children of the Presi-
dent TO watch the firemen keep the fires
going They are planning great times for
Christmas, when corn-popping over the
bright Goals will be one of their amuse-

The Porto Rican planters and mer-
chants who think that all that is need
ed TO make their coffee popular in the
United States is to put high tariff on
she Brazilian product are making a
mistake. They claim that their coffee
is the best in the world. IF so, the
American people want it, no matter how
costly it may be or how cheaply rival
Oohees may be sold. It is the habit
Of this country to want the best OF
everything, and it is always willing to
pay for good goods. All the Porto Ri
cans have to do Is to convince the Am
eriCan people that what they say about
their coffee is true, and they are as
sured of profitable market for it. But
lobbying at Washington for protec-
live tariff is a poor way to advertise

1t is q favorable time for Southern
farmers to raise pork. They have +
peculiar advantage over the pork
raiser of the west, especially in year
Il of short corn crops, for there short
corn crop means short hog crop; here
it does not necessarily mean the same
thing, because southern farmers are
not restricted to corn for pork produc-
tlon. In fact, there is distinct ad
vantage in growing and feeding crops
other and more certain than corn
! Corn lie the best known feed for putting
fat on hogs, but for no other purpose.
sPAaturage, and not grain crops are
lar better for growth and growth is
Tar more than half the hog. On ac-
count of scarcity of corn and conse-
quent scarcity of hogs in the great
g-producing northwest, pork is
now high and must remain so for
at least two years. Therefore, those
who have hogs to market will find
them more profitable than if the corn
crop had been a much larger one. -
