! JACK moNRoEs CAREER
Jeff Gave Him Start and May Give
Him q Finish.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. lit looks
as if Jeffries and Jack Monroe will get
together in Los Angeles. Jeffries wants
revenge for the indignities heaped upon
him at Butte Monroe is willing to make
the match if the Inducements are right
and the promoters of the Southland ap-
pear to think that the go will fill long
of one mind an announcement that the
contest has been arranged may be expect
ed any minute.
What will it be like? There isn't any
question in regard to the things the cham
pfon will do to Monroe if the opportunity
offers. The only professional courtes1eS the
gentleman from Montana may expect are
swings and wallops. Will he be able TO
stand enough of the heroic treatment to
Undue the crowd with the feeling that 1t
has run for it's money?
Here in San Francisco, where monroe Is
remembered as an amateur boxer ana
footbailer he is not taken seriously. That
is why the local clubs poo-hooed the prop
osition when a match between JeHr1es
and Monroe was suggested AFTER the re-
cent championship affair.
Come to think of it Monroe's experiences
as a professional pugilist have been some
what unique. He became. celebrity
through standing before Jeffries for few
rounds at Butte. He made all the capital
possible out of the thing, meanwhile being
careful to avoid Jeffries and all other
heavyweights. In this respect ne showed
that he either possesses considerable natlVe
shrewdness or is peculiarly amenable TO

Now he proposes going against Jenries

THREE REDS TO LEAVE.

red stockings of the Cincinnatl clup.
This trio will in all probability pc

same time give the Phillies boost
which seems badly needed AS YET the
deal has not been closed, but it is con-
templated, and there are good reasons
for believing that it will be closed pc

MINOR LEAGUES REJECT.
Do Not Like the Plan Big Ball Clubs
Fixed Up.

New York. Sep IA meeting of the
National association of Baseball Clubs
was held in this city yesterday. Among
| those present were: T. J. Hickey, of the
American association; NJ. H. Sexton, of
the Western league; W. NJ. Kavenaugh,
of the Southern league; B. T. Powers,
of the Western league; James j.

the secretary of the association.
The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss and frame an answer to the big
leagues concerning the position the
small leagues will take regarding the
national agreement the National asso-
citation has been invited to sign The
bone of contention is a membership on
the national board. That board now
consists of President Pulliam of the

the American league and august Herr

tional league club The minor league
claim that they are the bone and sinew
of baseball, have a larger following all
over the country than the two major
| leagues, and therefore should be repre-
sented on the national board. The other
articles of agreement that do not suit
the minor leagues are the drafting law
and the method of paying for players
drafted.
Under the new agreement the major
leagues have from Auugst Is until Oe-
tober 1 to select their players. Under
the old agreement they had but one
month. Under the new agreement the
players are to be paid for in three equal

Put Up 1000 Quarts of Fruit.

To put up 1000 quarts of fruit in one
season is 4 feat which few houSekeepers
would undertake; but it has actually been
accomplished by a Wichita housekeeper.
Last season Mrs. James Snedden, matrOn
of the Masonic home, actually put up 1000
equal if not exceed the record
A reporter for the Beacon was permitted
to visit the room in the cellar where the
fruit is stored. and the sight was one to
make any housewife enviouS. Three sides
of the room were lined with shelving and
the shelves were filled with double row
of fruit cans, each filed and neatly la
beled. One hundred and fifty quarts are
left from last year. This year Mrs. Sned-
quarts of peach butter. 100 quarts of
grapes, 800 quarts of apple sauce, $50
quarts of apple butter, 100 quarts of plum
preserves and butter. 200 quarts of jelly,
and 100 quarts of tomatoes. Pears and
more pIums are yet to be attended to and
these will complete the 1000 quarts. An
other thing of which few housewives can
boast is that every bit of this fruit was
raised on the home grounds. Not quart
has been bought. Besides this there has
been an abundance for the home family
all summer. Mrs. Snedden has done near
ly all the work of putting up this fruit
herself, though she has had help in pre-
pairing it for preserving. AS the home
family numbers about fifty during the
winter and thirty-five of these are chill
dren 1900 quarts of fruit will disappear
very rapidly. The home is also long ON
chickens. and no eggs are ever bought for
use there Now they have over 300 young
chickens, but when it is considered that
it takes ten chickens for a meal, 300 is
not such an abundant supply, after ALL

that day is not sacred. Dozier was ar
rested for using an expression found in
the thirty-sixth chapter of Isaiah, twelfth
verse. How the expression came there we
do not know, for it is filthy beyond ex-
preston and seems totally unnecessary.
The writer of this would have bet almost
any sum that the expression was not in
the Bible, but on looking it up last night,
in a copy of the Bible given him many
years ago, he found it, and it gagged"
him. But there is no occasion for Elder
