WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
baseball. the local club owners are cast
material to strengthen their teams.
Both President Robson of the st. Louis
Nationals and Robert Lee Hedges, head
of the st. Louis Americans, realize that
st. Louis will be one of the best cities in
the major league circuits next season, and
they propose to give the patrons of their
parks the best exhibitions of the National
game that capital and conscientious en-
deavor can produce.
For the last three months Mr.. Hedges
has had his agents scouting the country
for talent. During the long period OF
Dick Padden's indisposition Hedges and
McAleer had him visit all the cities that
were supposed to harbor capable young
sters. While acting as scout. Padden man
aged to land several minor leaguers, who
give much promise of future develop
ment.
But. according to Mr.. Hedges. the search
for good men is not yet finished. He pro-
poses to keep on the lookout for players
until the opening of the season, and he
will replace players during the regular
season. when they fail to make good.
He has already secured for first base
youngster whom Hanlon is said to have
rated as worth 5000 II Hanlon thinks
Jones is worth 5000 the youngster must
be a very likely customer. for when the
wiley Ned puts himself. loose from wad
of his own he has many logical reasons
for doing so.
OF course. Jones will replace a man who
was at least a first-class mechanical ball
player. Anderson was undoubtedly dunn
my on the bases and at the bat, but when

he had stored in his burrow swelled them
SO that the passage to the surface wss

known as the miser prairie dog, was COM

During the summer Lansing collected
the apples, which he stored carefully in
his subterranean quarters. In the fall he
cut them to pieces with his sharp teeth
and placing them on the surface. put them

fries said TODAY:


"The battle between Fitzsimmons and
Gardner for the light-heavyweigh cham
pionship. which takes place on next
Wednesday night at San Francisco, should
prove u grand fistic event. No matter
which one comes out the winner, l think
1t will be hard-fought contest.
Personally, I look for Fitzsimmons to
win. have fought him and know that
he is a great fighter. II. however, Card
ner should defeat Fitzsimmons, / will be
ready to fight him for the championship.
1T takes great fighter to defeat Fitz-
simmons, and il Gardner is successful we
can put him down as wonder. OF course,
F'itzsimmonss age Is slight disad-
vantage. but If he trains good and enters
the ring in good physical condition, he
will be hard to defeat.
Like. all other professions. a fighter
cannot always last. FitZsimmons has had
many hard fights. While he has never
been injured permanently, he has received
many hard knocks. and he has hit so
many hard blows that his hands are not
what they were couple of years ago.
Il have followed Gardner's career with
considerable interest, ard he may have
surprise in store for F,itZsimmonS. He
has the advantage in years over Fitzsim
mons. but doubt as to- whether he has
any more strength. II it Is short battle
Fitzsimmons will surely be the winner"

Hedges claims he has secured good man
case Padden or Gleason fail to make good.
II Padden's thumb turns out all right
second base will be well taken care Of by
the old Corporal, but in case the injured
thumb bothers him next season the
chances are that Hedges will have to let
Dick out
Harry Gleason. Il youngster whom GER
tain critics have pronounced a conner,
might fill Padden's place, but if Dick Is
not at the old stand next season the
Browns management should replace him
with an experienced player.
Right field is the other position where
the Browns were shy last season. Hemp
paisn. and his faiiire to hit cost the local
AMERICAN IeaguerS many game.
The pitching department, with the reli-
able OConnor behind the bat, should make
Sudhoff and Sievers finished the season in
great form. and with a man like O'Connor
to help them cut they should go well from
the start of the campaign in 1901.
If the American League discardS the
foul-strike rule the writer predicts i'm
provement in the batting of the Browns
all along the line. Heidrick, Burkett and
blighting influence, and Heidrick and Bur-
kett would each have had better aver
age by at least 20 points If they hadn't
the foul-strike rule to contend with last
season.
OF the new boxmen secured by Hedges,
Glade has the best reputation. His per-
formance last season was firSt-claSs, and
those who have seen him in action are
loud in their praises of his ability as
slabman. OF course, Petty should help the
Browns a grea. deal. During his brief en-

good head and strong arm, and another

CARNEGIE THANKSGIVING OFFER

A splendid Thanksgiving offer comes
to WaIla Wa!la today from Andrew
Carnegie. the great philanthrOpist who
is trying to absolVe himself from the
sin of dying rich. In response to two
letters addressed to Mr.. Carnegie by a
committee appointed by the CONNER
cial Club, one before his return from
Europe and the other since, his private
secretary writes to Ex-Governor Miles
G. Moore, chairman of the committee.
stating that Mr.. Carnegie will give
$4,000 for the construction of Ii
brary building in Walla Walla, prOvid-
ed the city will donate n site and agree
nance of the library.
The offer of Mr.. Carnegie is very
reasonable and the terms can be easily
complied with by the city. At the
present time the city is raising nearly
$500 a year for the maintenance of a
library in rented quarters, and it can
well afford to raise 500 a year more
in order to secure the elegant building
that $4,000 would provide.
The city council recently offered to
purchase $4,000 lot at the corner of
Palouse and Alder streets for a Ii
brary site, provided the Woman's
Reading Club would raise $4,000 for
the construction OF a building. Mr..
Carnegie's offer does not require the
city to buy any particular site or to
To- In mi mr.
the same, but leaves this to the dis
erection Of the council. 1t will be
easier, therefore. for the council to
comply with Mr.. Carnegie's terms than
1t would have been to carry out it's
part of the agreement with the WO-
mans Reading Club. II the council
hesitates to purchase a site, perhaps
the ladies OF the club will turn their
energies to this object. AS stated in
a communication from one Of the
members Of the club published in the
Statesman a few days ago. the club
has already received pledges Of $500
toward the proposed $4,000 building
fund, and probably the subscribers to
this amount would willingly have it
devoted to the purchase OF a site in
stead of to the erection OF a building.
MIR. Carnegie's offer is 50 generous and
the conditions so easy that the States
man can see no reason why the coun-
oil should not meet at once and vote
its acceptance Of the terms.
The city now levies a half mill Ii
brary tax on valuation Of over So
100000. This raises nearly $500 for
the maintenance Of the library. The
increased valuation OF next year should
bring the amount raised by this halt
mill tax up to the $500 required by
Mr.. Carnegie for the maintenance Of
the library that he offered TO establish
