THE WORLD OF SPORT !
MAY NAME SEXTON
TO SUCCEED HICKEY
President of Western League
May Be Elected Leader of
Association.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. "a spe-
cial meeting of the American associa-
ton will be held in Chicago Monday
for the purpose of selecting a successor
to President Thomas J. Hickey who,
several days ago, announced that he
would resign in order to accept a po-
Sition at st. Paul.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Hickey's successor will be M. H.
Sexton, of Rock Island, H., president of
the Western league, the chief rival of
the American association. This an
noUncement will come as a thunder
clap to the Western league magnates,
who have no idea that the deal is on.
Sections name was circulated about
Louisville yesterday and Well-informed
baseball men declared that the West
ern Lacquer would surely be elected to
fill Hickey's place at the meeting next
Monday at Chicago.
1t is known positively that Tebeau, of
Louisville; Watkins, of Indianapolis;
HaVenor, of Milwaukee, and several
other magnateS are pledged to one
man for the place, and the tip is that
this man is Sexton. In an interview
Mr. Watkins says that the new head of
the association will be man long iden-
titled with the game, who is at present

lea CUES in the country.
1.-The American association" said
Watkins, lis now the strongest minor
organization in the country, and it
would not do to place any one who is
not a tried leader in charge"
Mr. Watkins laughs at the story,
limited at in some quarters, that In
dianapolis will not be in the circuit
next year 1t is true that his team this
did dY.aI nc 10 Cf
though the attendance was only about
5000 short of last year, yet the wretch
ed weather and the teams poor race
were responsible for this. However,
Indianapolis made money this year,
and Watkins is extremely optimistic
regarding the future.
There are only two men in the coun-
try who fit Mr.. Watkins description Of
what the new association president will
be. These are Sexton, of the Western
league. and Tim Murnane, president Of
the Eastern league. Murnane, besides
being president of the Eastern league,
is sporting editor of the Boston Globe.
The presidency of the Eastern league
pays him about $4,000 a year, while he
receives a salary of about equal this
amount from the Boston paper. These
two positions practically put Murnane
out of the guess, and this leaves only
Sexton to fit Mr.. Watkins require
mentS
If Sexton is made president of the
American association and accepts the
place, it will be a solar pIexus blow to
the. Western league, as he is practical
ly the whole show, and has ably con-
Quoted the fight against the associa-
ton. 1t would practically put the
Western league out of business. If
Sexton is elected, it will show that this
step was CONTEMPLATED some tinoe q oo
long before the announcement of
Hickeys resignation was made. The
meeting Monday will be awaited with
interest.

several years, using the infield for raising

They received a letter from Mr.. Green
stating that ne had sold the track to

faster in the last six weeks than at any
previous time this season. Kerwin's
work is not at all Snowy, but is al
ways effective. His busy brain is al
ways on the alert, and it is seldom
he wastes an opportunity. Kirk will
be stationed Immediately inside of
Kerwin, and as this will be his first
appearance in a st. Paul uniform his
performance will be watched with in
terest.
Armstrong will be at his old posi-
ton of point, with Brown and Gaise
ford supporting. This trio is excep-
tionally strong. Brown and Arm
strong show UP particularly well at
close-range work, while Gaiseford will
be relied upon to do outside skirmish
ing. Altogether, the team will be the
strongest that has ever represented the
city, and notwithstanding the rumors

worked faithfully to get themselves in
the best possible trim, and are pre-
pared to go through long, hard bat
tie and finish fully as strong, if not
stronger, than their opponents.
The Saints are not a team of quit
ters, as has been proven time and
again on the local grounds this season.
Instead of being discouraged when
their opponents have the lead, it seems
to inspire them to greater efforts, and
1t is this logged persistence that has
pulled them out winners more than
once
In today's game special attention
will be paid to DR.. Baker in goal, and a
system of attacks will be put in OBJ
Grafton that is calculated to overcome
in part the doctors brilliant work. Past
experience has not disclosed any weak
spot in Bakers equipment, as high
balls, low balls, side balls and bound
ing balls all seem to look alike to him
The plan of attack for todays game
has been carefully studied out, and
President Stewart is confident that it
will be successful.
The placing of Raymond and Cowie
in the field is expected to make a great
improvement in the team, as both these
men are faster on their feet than any
Chicago man who has yet appeared,
and they are expert stick handlers.
They can be depended upon to keep the
home well fed. and that is all that is
considered necessary to bring the blue
and white out on top.

home field, are working together like

Gienview Clubs Clever Woman Golfer Defeats Miss j.

WHEATON, Ill.,. Oct. 3.-The women's

Anthony winning up and to play.
Considering the weather conditions,
thirty mile gale sweeping over the course
during the entire play, Miss Anthonys
game was remarkable. Only twice was
she in trouble. getting into the bunker
guarding the first hole on a long brassy
shot, and driving out of bounds on the
seventh. She saved the latter hole, how
ever, by a clever approach shot into the
green. With these exceptions her game
was of championship order
Miss Carpenter played in woefully bad
form. Seven bunkered shots and two
balls driven into the wide pond guarding
the ninth and tenth holes tell the story
of her defeat. But for a dead stymie on
the third hole, where Miss Anthony was
certain of putting out, the game would
have ended earlier than it did.

ment Miss Anthony will ever figure in.

MADISON. Wis, Oct. 3.-The Wiscon-
sin team this fall is far heavier than II
was last year. Although this fact is be-
ing carefully guarded by Coach Curtis and
Trainer O'Dea, it is shown from a COM
parison of the weights Of the backfield
players. The line, it is said, has increas-
ed in weight much more than has the
backfield.
The increase of the average weight of
the men who play in the positions behind

rear positions were played by Fogg quar-
terback, weighing $50 pounds; Juneau,
halfback, 159; Driver. fullback, 1T; Van

HYPNoTIZEs RABBITS.
Physician Puts Bunny Under a Spell
and Operates on Him.

That DR.. Ohio Fielder, city bacteri-
ologist of Milwaukee, possesses hyp-
motto power over animals which en-
ables him to perform vivisection oper-
ations without the use of anaesthetics
is the announcement made today. 1t
is said he is the first bacteriologist
to use this method.
The doctor places a rabbit on the
table, and after making a few rapid
passes, gaZes into it's eyes and begins
slowly to stroke it. In a few moments
bunny passes into a passive state.
To show that the trance is complete
any one in the room may try his best
to scare the animal, but will not sue

in a state Of coma the doctor proceeds
with the operation. After it is all
over, few more passes brings the
rabbit to consciousness, and it is soon
as lively as ever.

This afternoon the event of the sea-
son in lacrosse will be presented at
Lexington park, when the Calumets,
of Chicago, aspirants for the Western
state championship, will go against
the st. Paul team, which now holds the
title.
In all probability this will be the last
contest of the season, and it bids fair
to be the most bitterly contested, as
the two teams are on a par, as far as
this years games are concerned.
Both teams will be on their mettle,
as the Chicago lads are making a
strong bid for championship honors, and
the Saints are equally determined to
retain their laurels.

feet of thoroughly soaking part of the
playing ground, especially that part
lying between third base and the grand
stand, but a force of men were started
to work last evening battling it out, and
