xALEs FOOTBALL OUTLOOK.
Only Three of Last Years Crack
Team Will Return.

New Haven, Conn. Aug. 2s-Within
a month Yale football viii again come
to the front at New Haven, the date
for the rendezvous Of the candidates
for this years team having been fixed
Tor September o. The first game will
come on September . with Trinity
college.
Captain Gould has sent out orders
for % men to report at Yale field for
the preln mary practice. All but a
half dozen of these men are novices,
but the material as a whole is said to
be excellent. Where Princeton retains
nearly the entire team that played last
fall. and where Harvard loses but q
few men, Yale has practically lost its
entire team
OF the - men who played in the big
games last season for the blue, but
three return this fall to again try for
places. This leaves eight positions on
the Yale eleven to fill.
Last year Yale's team as it played in
the Harvard game at New Haven was
as nearly perfect as an American uni
versity ever developed. To make up that
team Mike Murphy had persistently
through the season developed a second
team, made UP of nearly as fast men,
whose halves against the varsity were
every afternoon as fast football as was
seen during the season outside of the
two big games.
This second team is now on hand al
most to a man as material for the 1901
team, and the kind of material offered
Is usually good. In spite of the fact
that nine strong players have left Yale
has men enough to pick a star new
eleven tomorrow.
OF last years eleven the following
players have left college: BIoomer,
left tackle: Brown left guard; Olcott,
center; Stillman. right tackle; Coy,
right end. Wear. quarter back; Finclze,
left half back; Hale, full back.
The only men left from last years
team are Gould. left end: Sheldon, right
guard. and Chadwick. left half back

10 be stronger behind the line than in
the rushers. For the line. however,
there are several strong men who are
almost certain to make places.
For full back to take the place of
FTale, an unusual man must be found.
and Yale men think they have found
the player in Weym outh, who is about
the build of Hale and about as fast
player.

Exciting Time in Chase County
Over the Orient.
Company Asks For $4,000 Per
Mile i'm Bonds.
FIGHT BETWEEN TOWNS
Cottonwood Falls May Ask to
Have the Depot.
Items of Interest From All
Over Kansas.

Cottonwood Falls, Aug 2S--The Kan
sas City, Mexico & Orient, through their
attorneys, Eaton & Eaton, have ad-
vanced Falls township, Chase county, a
proposition to vote bonds for a road of
standard gauge with a line complete
from Emporia to Wichita by December
1904. the township to pay $1,000 per mile
in bonds for IS miles. Toledo township
on the east has five miles and Cedar on
the southwest II miles. making about
$4,000 for the county.
Falls township will vote the bonds
but there will be trouble.
The proposition reads for depot,
stock yards and necessary switches
half way between Strong City and Cot
tonwood Falls and no other depot or
such accommodations within six miles.
This is a simple little proposition but
it means trouble. Strong City is a San
ia Fe town and is utterly Indifferent to
the movement save and except that
they can use the proposition as a club
to make the Santa Fe do something
better for the town.
David Mulvane credited with being
an Orient director has been in the
county lately the guest of the rich and
powerful Lantry family-chicken hunt
ing. Some say Orient business was dis
cussed but this is problema teal. Strong
City will aid the vote somewhat.
Cottonwood Falls business men say
they will make the Orient q. proposition
to place the depot on the south side of
the river, cut loose from Strong City
and vote the bonds. The Cottonwood
men have taken a poll and figure out
that they have enough votes to carry
the proposition regardless of Strong
City, and declare they viii go it alone
and as this will save the Orient a. mile
of track the company viii not object.
From Cottonwood the road will go up
Buck creek to the high prairie out
through Wonsivie into Butler county
Some express a, fear that the PROPOSE
ton is a Santa Fe scheme for a short
line from Emporia to Wichita, but 1t
hardly seems so. But the citizens here
have secured the right of way south
west to the county line over 20 miles
and seem to have an abiding faith in
the certainty of the proposition.

Lawrence People Organize to Check
mate Barbed Wire Trust.

Lawrence, Aug. ga company is be-
ing organized in this city to operate the
wire factory here, which was sold to
the wire trust two years ago. The new
company is to have a capital of 100000,
of which one-half is already paid up
The members of the new. company are
men who We're in some way connected
with the old wire mills, hence are ex-
perienced in the business. The build
ing occupied by the former company is
being fitted up for the new company,
which intends to have the plant in full
operation in a few months. The COM
pany owns the patent on a late wire
fence machine, and also a patent on
barb wire machine, both of which are
considered valuable. The buying of the
former mill by the eastern trust and
subsequent shutting down of the fac
tory was a great loss to Lawrence.

to call a meeting of the Players Pro
tective association and order a strike
just such a move and that the players
will run up against a snag such as they
have not dreamed Of If they go out
they will go out for life. He said today:
ut is up to Manager Griffith TO order
a strike among the players and make
good his threat to walk out of the
league because of the expulsion of
roWdy PLAYERS. 1t would be a good
thing for the American League If he
did take a few of them out. 1 have
acted in Shugart'S case and am only
waiting for more evidence in the Nc
Ginnity affair. Just now it looks as if
the Baltimore pitcher would nave TO
follow Shugart, for his offense- splitting

or worse than smuggling the official.
There will be other cases OF expulsion
If this rOWdy playing continues, though
/ shall not act hastily in the matter
Il know what the umDires are, and
in the country when they are let alone.
1 intend to back them I'D in spite OF
anything these young managers do. Let
them walk out and take along the play
ers they can take. We shall be better
off without them if they feel that way
Aside from McGraW. the American
League magnates are standing back of
Johnson. Comiskey, though his team is
hit hard through the penalties imposed,
says Ban is in the right Not a kick
has come from the other magnates.
