coMIsKEY Is EvAsIvE
Does Not Deny That He May Make a
Change of Grounds.

Chicago, Nov 26.-There is a posi-
bility. although hardly a probability.
that Comiskev's White Sox may desert
the South Side grounds for new park
in the American Association may give
Chicagoans a chance to see minor league
baseball at the present home of the
White Stockings next season.
1t is pretty good bet that I will be
on the South Side next season." said
Comiskey. Hart has gone to the trou-
BILE of explaining to the public that it is
a hard matter for me to get along in
my present quarters. and for this .rea-
son it might be pleasant to show him
how the American actually does draw
in his naighborhood.
Il don't care to always be building
parks, however. DEVELOPMENTS might
change the situation, but at present it
seems to me that I will remain in my
present location
There are several locations on the
doubtedly get provided he did decide to
leave his present park. The old Con-
gress street grounds are still vacant,
and in location they far surDass the
present grounds of the National League,
and in fact almost any other site in
Chicago.
In the past Comiskey and Hart have
had no actual clash. If Comiskey should
transfer to the West Side, however. he
would be in direct competition with the
West Side magnate and every person at
the American League park would vir-
tually be drawn from the regular at
PENDANTS at the National League games.
Under these conditions the rivalry of the
past three years would resolve Itself
survival of the fittest the only logical
outcome

THE BETHANY-HAsKELL GAME
Everything Is in Readiness for the
Contest Tomorrow Morning.

Kansas City, Nov. 26-Thursday's morn
and the "Swedes'' from the Bethany
school at Lindsborg is second in interest
only to the big game to be fought out
in the afternoon between Kansas and
Missouri. The Indians have shown d
marked superiority over the southwestern
teams which they have met, while the
Swedes have rolled up a season total of
35S against their opponents %. In the
one game played between them a few
weeks ago neither side was able to score,
and the question of superiority remains
to be settled between them. This will be
decided by the Thursday morning game.
The Swedes are thought to have some
superiority in weight, while the Indians
are believed to have slight advantage
in speed. Otherwise the teams are very
easily balanced. The Indians have suf
fered somewhat of late from battering by
their opponents in various games, but
have again gotten into prime condition
and will be seen with all their old and
well known lineup. The Swedes have
been well trained, and with their excellent
condition and knowledge of the game
hard contest is to be expected The fight
will really be one for the championship
of the southwest, as the Indians have
whipped all of the teams in this section
worth considering, and have failed only
in their efforts to down the powerful
players from Bethany. The game will
be played at Exposition park and will be
called at 1890 sharp.
