SPORTS
WHO ARE The MEN?
Minneapolitans Apply for Franchise
in the Western League.
E. L. oGILv1E, ST. PAUL, SAYS so
Mr.. Ogilvie Is After the st. Paul
#H Franchise and Says League
viii Get In There.

E. L. Ogilvie, manager of the South St.
Paul Advertising and Market bureau, who
is named by President Whitfield Of the
Western league as an applicant for the
St. Paul franchise In the bustling baseball
league, coyly admits the charge made by
President Whitfield. He expresses the
opinion that both St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis viii have clubs in the Western league.
He says that Minneapolis men have ap-
piled for franchise. but does not name
them.
He says that he is thoroughly convinced
that his league can make good in the twin
cities. In St. Paul, if present plans are
carried out, he intends to at once begin
breaking ground for new downtown
park. He already has several available
sites in mind.
President Whitfield of the Western
league has acquired title to the old
American league grounds in Milwaukee,
and, unless all signs fail, Milwaukee will
have two baseball teams next season.
The transaction was closed Monday after
noon when Fred C. Gross, of the old Mil
waukee club, received notice from his
bankers that President Whitfield had de-
posted with the First National Bank Of
Kansas City the money required to place
the Western league in possession OF the
lease held by the Milwaukee baseball club,
in addition to an option of five years more
on the property.
1t was generally believed that the
Western league would not attempt. to
break into this territory, and the pre-
sumption, based on statements made at
various times by Mr.. Gross to the eff
feet that Whitfield had asked only for an
option on the grounds, created the feel
ing that the Western league was bluff
I'M e. in Milwaukee for the purpose OF
compelling the American association to
keep out Of Western league territory IN
Omaha. Consequently the announcement
that the lease had passed into the hands
of the Kansas City man created consid-
cradle surprise.

year ago Texas oil was absolutely I'M
known in the northwest as an investing
proposition. To-day there are hundreds
of people of means who are holders of oil
stocks. But the changes in the business
are quite as phenomenal. year ago the
photograph of great gusher was Curl
osity. To-day the pictures tell not SO
much about the gushers as about the
improvements going on to handle the oil.
We received new lot of photographs
| at the office yesterday showing the worl,
in progress on the oil tanks and on the
pipe line. You will be interested in them
We will have them reproduced, and will
send copies to all who write for them.
These photographs show more convinc-
ingly and more exactly the extent and ma
ture Of the improvements in which this
| company is directly interested than could
be attempted in any other way.
The lesson Of these photographs is this:
TEXAS OIL IS NO LONGER A SPECU-
LATION. 1T IS A PLAIN BUSINESS
INVESTMENT, WITH ALL THE PROF
ITS OF THE RICHEST PRODUCING
PROPOSITION ON EARTH.
If you are prepared to believe this, OF
even to investigate it, we want to invite
you to the merits of the Omaha Texas Oil
! company as an investment. This company
| is one of the cleanest, most business-like
| managers are reputable business men. Its
! property is on Spindle Top, and its we'll is
| ready to come in any day.
! If this cannot be proven to your COM
! plete satisfaction, this announcement is
loss of money to us. Look it up. Others
are investing in Omaha Texas oil stock
and will make good money. Why not you

Evidence of His Dislike
for Baltimore.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Jan. IA Hugh Jennings will
not he allowed to play in the American
league this year. President Johnson an
bounced last night that he is on the
blacklist and that ''Muggsy" McGraw will
not have the services Of the star player
In his infield. This will be great blow
to McGraw, since he intended to have the
"big four together again this season,
consisting of himself, Jennings, lKeeler
and Kelley.
The cause Of his being placed on the
blacklist is the tt ouble which he had last
summer with Baltimore and Philadelphia
arrangements of the American league.
Both McGraw and Connie Mack wanted
him. and finally Jennings ended the mat
ter by joining the Philadelphia club of the
National league. ..-.s ...
1t is not likely that McGraw will abide
by the CZar JonnIson's ukase. After hay
ing allowed Boston md St. Louis clubs to
sign players who jumped American league
contracts, johnson simply plays the part
Of an unreasonable tyrant when he seeks
to blacklist" player who was never in
the American league nor ever had airy
connection Herewith and hence could not
have violated any of it's rules
Jennings is exceedingly popular in Bal
timore while Johnson is not on account
of his well known inclination to give that
town the worst of it,
His decision in the Jennings matter
looks as if he is giving Baltimore little
more Of the same old dose.

FOR BIG STAKES
The Abbott, Boralma and Lord Derb!
to Meet.

New York. Jan. 1.-Two matches be-
tween three of Americas foremost trot-
tiers, with the possible exception of Cham
pion Cresceus, 2:O2A, will be arranged to-
day. Thomas Lawson's trotter, Boralma,
1907, is to meet ex-Fire Commissioners
John J. Scannells ex-champion, The Abb
bott, 2:03A, and E. e. Smathers, young
trotter, Lord Derby 2:061H, in separate
matches for a side wager Of $4,000. In
his challenge Mr.. Lawson stated that he
would bet from $4,000 to $4,000 on the re-
suit of any match he might make, and
both gentlemen have announced that they
will accommodate him to the limit in each
match. AS the race promoters WILL prob
ably offer $4,000 for the attraction, the
total stake to be contested for in each
match will undoubtedly amount to $780,
000 49,. .
Mr. Scannell, when informed Of Mr..
Lawson's desire to arrange matches with
both The Abbott and Lord Derby, said
that he was pleased to hear the news.
Mr.. scannell would prefer to have the

Joined the Detroit club OF the American
league and played about twenty eight
games, making a splendid record in the
field, and batting over 275. He was
traded OF Boston, where he opened tho
season of 1901, but things did not go
right and he asked for his release, which
was granted. He then joined Denver and
proved the find of the season. His bat
ting was over 800 and his fielding was
around $50. George Tebeau thinks he is
one of the coming outfielders of the coun-
try. This gives the brewers Mcbride and
Jones as experienced men for the field,
with Maloney for the Southern league as
an experiment.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Jan. @14.-Male students OF
Northwestern university have the white
SOCK craze. Numbers of the students are
wearing low shoes and white wooden
socks, which show a double reef in their
trousers. Where they picked up the fad
not even the students can tell. A student
named Sanders was the first to appear on
the campus wearing them, and he soon
had many imitators. When Sanders ap-
peared in the lecture rooms the other
students set up howl. Order was not re-
stored until he unfolded the two reefs in
his trousers and hid the socks from view.
The fad promises to become as general
as the one did last year when the Greek
letter socks became the rage.
