COLLINS NOT TO RETIRE.
Denies Injured Leg Story and Dis
cusses American League.

Boston, Oct, 25.-The yarn that Mana
ger James ]. Collins, of the Boston
Americans, will have to retire from the
diamond on account of injured leg,
is pronounced by that payer to be en-
tirely untrue He has added consider
able flesh since the season closed, but
says as far as his leg is concerned he
could go into the game today. Collins
has been in Boston for a week on par
sonal business
THE Boston American club is not ly-
ing on its oars he said. I'VE have
some good men in mind for next season.
AS soon as [ sign them 1 will be able to
divulge their names. I am not doing
business with men who have already
signed contracts with other clubs. There
are lots of good players in the National
League who have not signed contracts
as yet for 1903 and it is a few of those
men I'm after"
"Will the American League have a
New York club?"
-Four weeks ago I said it would, and
again today you can state it as coming
from me that the American League will
have a club in New York next season,
and it will be Grst-class team too.
Il have no intention of leaving Bos-
ton I have no intention of playing
with the New York American League
club, and. in fact. the subject has not
even been mentioned. Boston is the only
city to play ball in. We made money
this year and will make more money
next season. If 1 can strengthen the
team 1 will do so. and the owners OF
the club have not limited me in signing
good players no matter how high their
salaries might be-"

DAN PATCH FAILED.
Made Gallant Effort to Lower the
Record at Memphis.

Memphis Tenn. Oct. 25.-Dan Patch
the famous PAGER, driven by McHenry,
failed in his attempt to lower the
worlds mark of 1:5sA at the Trotting
park Friday afternoon. The champion
got away after scoring once, accom-
panied by a runner. and stepped the first
quarter in :29%. Up the back stretch he
moved like a machine and the half was
passed in :59lk. "A shout of approval
went W from the big crowd and the
next quarter was watched with anxious
interest The time. 1870, was disappoint-
ing. Turning into the stretch McHenry
urged the PAGER on, but Dan Patch tired
perceptibly and the wire was reached
in POI fiat. 1t was said that the con-
dition of the track on the back stretch
was not satisfactory and Dan Patch
will probably make another effort to re-
duce the record next week.
Darrell and Conner were scheduled to
ord of 2:0S%, but the exhibition was
abandoned after the horses broke sew
eral tines.
Gail Hamilton won the De Soto stake
in fast time, both heats being trotted in
the best time of the year for 3-year-olds.
Walnut Hall proved the best in the
Gayoso stakes. Chase won the first
heat while Miss Whitney captured the
second. Walnut Hall was never in
trouble in the remaining heats. Only
two starters faced the flag in the 2-year-
old trot. Hilgar, a smart looking young
ster by Virgins, won both heats easily
from FANNY Summers.

stage TOO STRENUOUS.
Coach Criticised for Working HIS
Men Too Hard.

Chicago, Oct. 25-The News says:
Coach Stage has been criticised some
what by some of his old players for
the way he works the teams. 1t is said
that every football team he works until
their limit of endurance is almost pass
ed, and that in baseball it is his great
est fault and one of the reasons why he
seldom has a firstclass team, as the
men are never able to rest up sufficient
~ to get into condition after being in
jured.
Eldredge, who played behind the line
In SO and 1900 until he was injured and
had to retire from the game, says:
1t is too much to expect of any man
to work him hard for three hours dur
ing the afternoon in scrimmages and
then give him two hours more of it inn
medlately after dinner for signal prac-
t1ce, and secret formations. Stage has
always held that if the man was work
ed to death he'd be ready to work him
self to death in a game. but 1 know it
was so when l played, and doubt
whether the men have changed any
since then. that we fellows were so
overworked we could hardly drag one
foot after the other. and when we got
into the game it was the same gay.
The excitement of the thing would hold
US up for a time. but we hadn't the en-
durance we'd had had if we'd been
trained with better judgment. Stage
can stand an enormous amount of work
himself, and he believes every one else
can stand as much as he can"
One of the Maroon baseball team of
1900 has the same criticism of the prac-
tice. He says:
''Stagg worked all the boys so hard
they hadn't any ambition left to play
baseball, and many q time we sat down
in the diamond during practice and re-
fused to go another step. If a man
sprang a charley horse he wasn't al
lowed to rest, and the consequence was
some of us were so lame we couldn't
play even if we wanted to. That was
one of the greatest reasons for our de-
feats on our trip through the east that
spring"
Illinois may find that Stage has been
Overworking the Maroons this year and
that the night signal practice he has
been giving them recently has Slapped
their strength and endurance for a
gruelling conflict on the gridiron.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-St Cuthbert broke
the track record for six furlongs in the
fourth race at Worth by running the
distance in 1902 1-5, which is two-fifths
of a second below the former mark and
within a fifth of a second of the worlds
record. st. Cuthbert won in gallop,
and had he been driven out could cas-
lily have equaled the American record.
The old sprinter set a killing pace and
turned for home two lengths in the
lead. He was running so easily in the
last sixteenth that Jockey Buchanan
eased him up and drew the finish down
to half length, with ST. Minor second,
a length and a half in front of Federal,
the 6 to 5 favorite Weather perfect,
track fast.

TEBEAU A PEAcEMAKER.
Reported Position in the Milwaukee
MIDDLE.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 25.-George Te-
beau, the manager and owner of the
LouisesS.hte Baseball club of the Ameri-
can assCtiatiOn, is reported to have been
in the city for several days trying to
patch up the differences which exist
between President Quinn and Treasurer
Havenor of the Milwaukee ball club.
Tebeau is said to have arrived here
on Saturday. His name was kept off
the hotel register. however, as his mis-
sion here was of a secret nature. Ac-
ccrding to advices from Louisville, Te
beau has been missing for over a week
and his whereabouts are unknown. 1t
is claimed that he is on a quiet search
for new material for his team for next
season, and he may have dropped in
here to confer with either one of the
local magnates. Tebeau, like Havenor
of the local team, is in favor of war
against the Western league, and he
would naturally seek out the treasurer
of the local club instead of Mr.. Quinn,
who is in favor of peace. Tebeau's
visit to this city at the present time
may mean that the American associa-
ton has changed it's policy and that
some arrangement will be arrived at
whereby territory will be traded with
the Western league thus insuring
peaceful relations next year.

An Atchison Woman Has Trou-
BILE at LeavenWorth.
Claims That She Is Followed
by Two Bad Men.
WANTED TO KILL HER
Plot Against Her Came from
Her Knowing Too Much.
Prevented a Friend from Being
Robbed by Relatives.

Leavenworth, Oct. 25.-The Times
says:
A wealthy woman of Atchison came
to Leavenworth yesterday afternoon on
the Ais o'clock Missouri Pacific train
and she had not been in the city long
before she called on the police for pro-
lection, claiming that two men were
following her for the purpose of killing
her She was taken to the 7:15 o'clock
Missouri Pacific train by Officers Halpin
and Schroeder and one of the men the
woman claimed was following her also
got aboard. He had a ticket to Oak
Mills and the woman was afraid that
he would kill her when he alighted from
the train there, but UP to an early hour
this morning no killing had been re-
ported.
The woman's story is a strange one.
She stated that she was a friend of
wealthy woman of Atchison who had
been sent to the state insane asylum at
Topeka as incurable. but that she was
not insane. She said the woman's rela-
tives sent her to the asylum for the
purpose of getting her property and
that because she knew so much about
the case, two men had been hired to get
her out of the way. The woman came
to Leavenworth yesterday afternoon,
in order to get it to another person in
Kansas City and that when she got
from the train two men also alighted
and followed her.
When she boarded an electric car the
men did also, and when she alighted
tbey did the same. She became sus-
picious of their intentions, so reported
the matter to the police, and when they
took her to the union station she point
| ed out man to the officers and said he
was one of the two men who followed
her about the city. She was placed in
care of the conductor, but before leav-
| ing Leavenworth telephoned to her hus-
! band to meet her at the Atchison depot.
The man who according to the woman :
story. is following her, did walk along
| beside the train at the station here and
| located her before going into the coach
He had ticket for Oak Mills, and it
was the opinion of those who had been
let into the case that the fellow, if he
really did intend to shoot the woman,
would do so when he alighted from the
train at Oak Mills.
The woman stated that the trouble in
which she is involved had not yet been
! brought to light in Atchison, and for
that reason she did not wish the Leav-
enworth newspapers to know that she
had been in Leavenworth.

Paris, Oct 21.--A mere catalogue of
the attractions of Paris would fill the
pages of an ordinary sized book, while
a description of its charms would be
even more helpless task.
: One pleasant day was spent in Yer.
sailles, in visiting the Grand Trianon
and the Palace which has been COM
pletely restored and is now as it used
to be when Marie Antionette lived
here. The balcony is to be seen where
she stood trying to quiet the angry
mob that had come from Paris, and
from here she eventually made her
escape and returned to Paris only to
meet her death by guillotine The
picture gallery has a wonderful col
lection of paintings of the more fam
Gus French battles and some are very
realistic, while others impress one
| with the awful agony of war.
The Champs Elysees is considered
one of the finest avenues in Europe
and drive on it in the afternoon is
pleasant feature of Paris. The
Champs Elysees begins at the Palace
De la Concerue and extends for mile
and half up to the Place DEtoile,
where is the Triumphal Arch of Ma
poleon. Farther along is the Bots de
Boulogne, containing park of vast
extent, seventy acres being artificial
water. In the Grand Palace is a col
! lection of tapestry dating from three
centuries ago down to the present time.
| This was one Of the buildings of the
1900 exposition and just opposite is
the Petite Palois," which by the re-
cent gift of a wealthy man will soon
| be transformed into museum. From
Eiffel Tower one gets a good view of
the city, provided the day is clear.
| From here one can see Notre Dame,
the Pantheon, Montmart, the Troco-
dero, the Madeleine church and far
away beyond st. Cloud lies Versailles.
The Morgue is just back of Notre
Dame and is famous all over the world
Like many things, once seen it can

Everywhere one can see evidences
of the work and plans Of the great Ma
| poleOn. His mansOleum is wonderful
and seems a fitting resting place for
such a great and wonderful man. In

his personal effects, such as hats,
coats, gloves, swords, etc, and also
some of the arms and flags he captur-
ed in his numerous wars. In the Pal

which was built after his Austrian
victories. Lillian Hughes.
