sTAKED AMERICAN LEAGUE.

First Experience in Base Ball of Son.
 CTS, the Cleveland Magnate.
 Pittsburg Feb 12.-There is man in this city who is well acquainted with Charles Somers of Cleveland, better known as Angel" Somers, by reason of the fact that he has staked the American league in so many of its ven lures.
 II don't think" says the Pittsburger, that people here have ever heard the story as to how Charley got into the base ball business. Somers is a coal man and never had known base ball until one day when Ban Johnson went to Cleveland to interest financiers in the Boston and Philadelphia end of the American league. Johnson was told to hunt up Charley Somers, who would introduce him to Forest City men of almost unlimited means.
 Johnson met Somers and the two killed time,' while awaiting a meeting with certain others, by going to the ater, While in the playhouse Johnson outlined his expansion plans to Son. CTS. The latter listened intently and at the conclusion of the talk, said:
 Never mind trying to interest MT -; l will supply all the money that is needed This was done and Som- CTS signed such men as Lajoie. Lave Cross and Flick to individual contracts by which they were to receive their money no matter whether they played or not Certified checks covering the entire amount of their three years sal ary were deposited in bank. While others planned expansion, it was the money raised by Somers that caused the worst war that ever was known in base ball.

MITCHELL IS BLAMED
Counsel For Coal Operators
 Arraign Miners Union.
AN IRRESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION.
Coal Workers President Is Charged with Responsibility For All the TrOuble-The Members Beyond
 Control of Their Leaders.

with Responsibility For All the
 TroubIe-The Members Beyond
 Control of Their Leaders.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-Counsel for the coal operators continue to ar raign the miners union in their argu- ments before the anthracite strike commission. The independent opera tors of the Lehigh, the Wyoming and the Lackawanna regions held the at- tention of the commissioners for the greater part of yesterday, the proceed ings concluding with the presentation of the Reading company's argument by Simon F. Wolverton, the company's chief counsel.
 In nearly every case the attorneys charged President Mitchell with re- sponsibility for the alleged lawlessness in the coal regions during the strike, and the union was characterized as an irresponsible organization, whose mem bers were beyond the control Of the leaders. Mr. Wolverton strongly urged the incorporation of the union and charged that it was unfit to control the anthracite industry because boys are numbered among its members.
 Samuel Dickson argued the case of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation com- pany, c. B. Markle & Go. and other in dependent operators in the Lehigh re- zion. He defended the attitude of the Markle company, claiming the firm was justified in the stand it took against it's men when the strike was declared off because it had not been a party to the correspondence resulting in the appointment of the commission.
 Francis l. Gowen for the Lehigh Val ley Coal company suggested that the commission recommend the establish ment of a shift, consisting of a certain number of cars to constitute days work, the men able to do the. amount ofswork required to receive an increase in wages.

WILL CT LET DELEHANTY GO.

Crack Outfielder and Batsnian Must
 p.a; ir Washington or Nowhere.
 Washington, Feb 12-"You can put it down good and strong" says Presi- dent Postal of the Washington Ameri- can league club, 'Sthat Delehanty will play in this city this season. I don't want it to be supposed for a moment that I am going to let player of his caliber slip through my fingers. At the meeting of the peace conference in Cincinnati the big outfielder was awarded to the local club, and he will stay here or quit the business.
 T will not let the paItry $2,5OO which the New York club advanced him stand in the way. Like nearly all of the others, Der is out for the money, and it was the filthy 1ucre alone that induced him to jump. He liked Washington and cared little for Gotham.
 "A player of Delehanty's reputation would cost me the good round sum of from $8,OO0 to $10,o0O if I desired to purchase him from any other club. There are just six American leagus clubs from which I have letters offer ing to take the big slugger off my hands in exchange for other cracks if I should feel inclined to part with his services.
 ''If DelehantY is wanted so badly by so many clubs it appears to me that it would be folly to let go of him. Washington saw enough of it's good ball players sold under the Wagner re gime. am not doing business that way. I am here to put a winning team in the city, and will spare no ex- pense in doing so."

 Wrestling News.
 Cleveland, Feb 12.-Tom sharkey lost his match to Dan Mcleod last night by being thrown three times ln one hour by the present holder of the championship. There were 2,5O0 peo- nle present at the match, which was advertised for a purse of $500 and side bet of $500. Sharkey was not the aggressor at any time while the con test lasted, but simply allowed Mcleod to do all the work. The first fall was secured by Mcleod after a desperate struggle of thirty minutes. That strug- gle must have tired Sharkey out, for when they went at it again in fifteen minutes, Mcleod soon had his man to the mat in thirteen minutes. The third fall came quickly in twelve minutes
 Professor M. J. Dwyer and Charles Reinecke of Pittsburg who were match ed some time ago to meet in Water bury, but who were prevented from meeting owing to the illness of Dwy- CTS father, as it was said, met in Mer- iden last evening and Dwyer was the winner. He took the first fall in thir- ty-one minutes and forty three seconds and the second one in twenty-two min- utes. There were but 400 people pres ent at the match. Billy Burns refereed the match.
 Bridgeport, Feb 12.-There were 800 people present at the match in this city last night between Farmer" Burns and Harry Hanson. Dick How, ell was the referee. It was a great struggle between the two men and Burns downed his man for the first fall in twenty minutes with a cross-bar hold The next fall also went to Burns with a three-quarter Nelson in twen- &y-four minutes and thirty-one seconds. There were several challenges in which Steve ODonnell took a hand. Prof Dwyer challenged Hanson in Graeco- Roman style. Carl Pons, the big French wrestler, wanted to meet Burns and Bridgeport may get some of the matches Waterbury used to have
 Cleveland, Feb 12.-Tom Jenkins, the wrestler, is back in this city. His ob- ject in coming here at this time was to try and induce Dan Mcleod to meet him again. This the champion at catch-as-catch-can declined to do at present, whereupon Jenkins issued the following statement: sThey can all have their championships. but I will continue to wrest1e any man in the world so long as there is enough money in it for me. Those pugilist- wrestlers, Sharkey Munroe and others. who want to go on with me. will take them on in one night and throw them one after the other. If Mcleod wants to meet me the same night I will give him the chance too. I will post my money to show that I mean business. I am through with Graeco-Roman wrestling after tonight

The Black Can.

The black cap has no specific rela t1ons to the hanging of criminal. Its sin- ister reputation, it's color and the fact that judge when pronouncing cap-t ital sentence always wears it, have! combined to attach to it a meaning and symbolism which it does not possess ] It is really nothing more than part of the full dress of judge.

 penses and 5000 Above Prizes.
 1t was learned yesterday that Frank Kramer, the professional bicycle champion, who has been in negotiation with European promoters for some time past, has practically concluded a contract under which he will go abroad to race during April and May Kramer will get his expenses and $5,- GOO above his prize winnings for rid ing in ten races. He will contest at the Pare des Princes track in Paris, and also in Berlin, Copenhagen, Ant werp and Brussels.
 Kramer will return to America early in June to follow the circuit here, but there is some doubt as to whether it will be the sprinting or the paced cir cult, for the champion has been ex- pressing q desire of late to become a pace follower.

League Meets Kin St. PaUI-Yearss
 Work Reviewed.
 ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 12.-The League of American Sportsmen con- vened in the Commercial club rooms in this city, with delegates from all parts of the country. After an address of welcome in behalf of the city and state the report of the national president, G.. o. Shields of New York, was read re- viewing the work accomplished during the year for the better protection of and enforcement of laws affecting birds and fish,
 Tn the course of his report he said: "A very important event in this years work is the fact that the president of the United States has at our request extended the Yellowstone and Teton forest reserves, on the east and south of the Yellowstone park, by adding thereto more than 8,000,O00 acres of land"
 The report states that during the year the league has increased in mem bership from 7,7S4 to 9,21O and is or ganized in every state except Della ware, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina and Indian Territory. The league has been organized in Alaska, which, according to the report, is in the most important section of the country so far as game is concerned.

International College Athletics.

International College Athletics.
 LONDON, Feb. 12.-Some unofficial correspondence has been exchanged between Oxford and Cambridge uni versailles and Harvard and Yale indi- eating a willingness on the part of the American universities to challenge the Englishmen to an athletic meeting. No challenge, however, has yet been re- ceived, and it is doubtful if the English universities could accept. Their reason for nonacceptance would be entirely a financial one. Acceptance of the chal- lenge would involve return challenge in 1904, and the English universities have no funds to defray the cost of a visit to the United States. Their last trip to America was only carried through by insuring against loss at Lloyd's. It is unlikely that they could repeat this operation, as Lloyd's lost over $3,500 on the previous occasion.
