Virgil Gardner is not to perform for the
edification of the Milwaukee fans this
season. as they had been led to suppose.
Ih1s is practically settled, although there
IS to be conference between Manager
Cantillon and the elongated Texan on
the subject of his services for the season

go. Hanlon told Cantillon this yesterday
over the long distance telephone and If
he insists and is willing to advance Gar

Texans release
The question is one of advance money.
Garvin Is indebted to the Brooklyn club
to the extent of $500 or $500, and he will
want enough more to make it about 81 900
before the season opens. Garvin secured
from Hanlon a promise of a release to
the Milwaukee American association club
II his indebtedness was paid, and with
this understanding he was signed to play
ball in Milwau keeG this season. but since
then Hanlon has changed his mind. and
wants the cratic pitcher. Manager Can
tlllon says that while he has the whip

lease, and will today advise i'm to plhg

High School Faculty to Punish Members

Trouble will start in high school circles
when the st. Paul hockey team returns
from the series of games now being play
ed at st. Louis with the Worlds Fair
team of that city.
The ST. Paul team is made up in the
main of members Of the Victoria team,

dent players joining a league formed by
independent clubs, the Mechanics drop
ped the school name, and entered the
league as the Victorias.
The entire forward line Of the Mechanic
Arts or Victoria team went to st. Louis
as members of the st. Paul team, and it
is said that they started on this trip after
being warned by the school authorities
that any prolonged absence from school
would result in their suspension.
This order from the school authorities
came at the very last moment, and for
time it looked as though Manager Har-
ris would be compelled to abandon the
trip. The high. school boys held dI;-

holding their places in school. for they
reported with their skates and uniform
bags at the depot and boarded the train

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-In his annual
report made to the traffic officials of
the st. Paul road Louis Jackson, in
dustrial commissioner of the company,
makes some strong predictions regard
ing the manufacturing futures of the
Middle West. For example, he de-
clares that the Moline Rock Island
Davenport district will soon have a
population of 100000 and that ulti-
mately the Chicago Milwaukee district
will rival Pittsburg as a manufacture
ing center. The development in recent
years in the manufacturing interests
the Mississippi river and from Mime
apolis on the north to ST. Louis on the
south has been, according to Mr..
Jackson, sufficiently phenomenal to
warrant his rosy prophesies. Mr.. jack
sons report says:
"A new manufacturing center is
springing up west of Chicago on the
Mississippi river which promises to
jump from population of 100000 to
100000 within a few years and which
has the markets of Omaha, st. Paul,
st. Louis and Chicago within easy
reach. This is the Moline-R Island
Davenport district. 1t has coal at hand.
Moline has long been the worlds plow
center and now the district bids fair
to become one of the worlds largest
buggy, carriage and wagon manufac-
turing centers."
The st. Paul road has such conf
dence in this territory that 1t is con-
structing a cutoff direct from Moline
to its Kansas City line. Kansas City
is another town that will command the
trade of the further Southwest.

Akron giant as they call him, will
light Jim Corbett and will not exact
any arbitrary conditions, either Rubin

twenty rounds or to a finish. Rubin
will bet him $1,000 that he (Ruhlin)
whips him. Rubin will bet $4,000 on
the same proposition. Rubin will go
further and bet him $4,000, and RUN

OF the champion so elects-he will fight
him for the bare purse. With a side

or cut the purse right in two, winner

winner to take.
Gould anything be more liberal? 1t
is all up to Corbett. He'll say, of
course, that he does not want to fight
anybody but Jeffries. Jeffries, in so
many words, says that he does not
want to fight Corbett. Probably the
public won't sustain Jeffries. No more
will the public sustain Corbett if he
