Guardianship papers have been se- cured through Probate Judge Little for all the children left here by the New York Founding association. The foster parents now have q Cer- tain legal right to the children, but this does not imply that the title to them will not be tried later in the L.. S. courts. However, the attorneys of this section. who have carefully investigated the matter, are of the opinion that the institution has lost all right to them by abandoning them, or by placing them with incompetent and unworthy people. They are of the opinion that the MeXiCans, with whom the children were left. are the only ones who would have standing in court. and they do not want the children. nor is it likely that they will commence an action for their recovery. It is possible that further litigation may follow. but it is hardly probable. In fact the baby incident, which gave Clifton so much unfavor- able notoriety, is now closed.

| The possibilities of new blood in the Shannon company, together with
 recent developments in the railroad situation, has had the effect of boon- ing realty values in Clifton very
 materially. Clifton realty is all right whether these good things ma terialize or not. Property values
 have doubled in the past two years and they will more than double in the next two. It would be well for Clifton people to get in on the ground | floor.
 The famous Mime Healy mine of
 Butte, has been closed by an order of court, and 1000 men have been thrown
 out of employment. The fight over
 the ownership of the property is in
 the supreme court. The present ac-
 tion is based on the allegation that the Healy people are taking ore from adjoining property owned by the Amalgamated. When the constable served the papers on Heinze he slapped the officers face and threw the papers at him. The injunction proceedings followed suit instituted
 by the Amalgamated against Heinze
 for 5000. 900 worth of ore alleged to have been stolen by him. It would seem that Hcinze has lost control of the courts of Montana.

Dr. Rickerts, who is in charge of the Old Dominion properties at Globe, predicts that he will soon be able to produce copper cheaper than is now being done by any company in Arizona. This is q pretty big claim. but Dr. Rickerts usually knows what he is talking about. Until the addi- tiOn of new machinery, the cost of producing copper at the Old Do- minion. was l2 cents per pound, which was about the highest of any of the big companies operating in Arizona. This shows what plenty of money will do for q company. Had not the old Dominion arranged for ample means it could not have de- creased it's cost of production. There are many companies strug- 9ling for existence which could be made good dividend payers by in creased capital.

per trade is not q flash in the pan, but has come to stay for some in- definite period, is further evidenced in the statement emanating from the firm of Phelps, Dodge X Co.,, of New York, and who are at the present time the largest individual producers of copper in the world. They say: 'We are face to face with q world wide revival in business and with it d steadily increasing demand for cop per. It looks now as though copper would go to l5 cents in the near future although the large producers would not look with favor on such an advance Here, also, Is the opinion a man whom no one can accuse of be- mercurial. He is not of those ready at any moment to go off half-cOck: conservative of view and deliberate in speech his utteranCeS can always be relied upon as worth remembering. He says: 'The demand for copper is extraordinary. There has been no attempt made to corner copper, for the simple reason that there is no copper to corner. Stocks on hand amount to practically nothing. All the copper that is now being taken out of the ground is in process of being put into marketable shape, which will probably be needed to fill existing contracts. On top of all this the Lake Superior mines are not responding with continued in- creased production. The October production was 256. .0O0 pounds short of September's and this notwithstand- ing that October is one day longer month than September.

The statement which appeared in the ERA last week copied from the New York Commercial, in regard to the proposed change of management of the shannon Copper company, in one particular at least is not borne out by facts. The statement was made in the article that the Arizona Copper company was annually clear ing SlJ0.000 from the haulage of Shannon ores. The facts are that the gross amount of the haulage charges do not exceed from s65, ,OO0 to SD, 900, hence the net earnings would be d very small figure as compared to the statement made by the Commercial.

ON YALE FIELD.

Five separate elevens were at signal practice on the Yale gridiron at one time yesterday afternoon. The squad has now been enlarged to about seven ty, but more than half of the material is unfit for use even on the college team, being entirely too light and mex perienced. Boomer was the only varsity player who did not get into the scrimmage. He wears heavy saddle on his left shoulder, which was badly strained last year and slightly wrenched last week.
 Tom Shevlin, fullback on the Yale varsity football team, proposes bo drag the man with the ball through the op- posing line by main strength and a lit tle@assistance With tackle on one side and big halfback on the OtheF, the other halfback seizes the ball from the quarterback and the combination hits the line with tremendous force.
 On the back of Shevlin's trousers is stitched a white canvas strap. To this the man carrying the ball clings, thus preventing his being separated from his interference. The play was tried in practice on the Yale field yes terday afternoon. until Shevlin, with the wind battered out of him, went staggering about the field to get his breath. He made some terrific gains.

SHOT-PUTTINC RECORD.
D. Hogan Sends the l6 Pounds 4S Feet
 10 Inches.

The latest sporting exchanges from the old world contain the account of a new worlds record for putting the 16-pound shot. The distance achieved was AS. feet 10 inches. and by Denis Horgan of Banteer, county Cork, Ire land, at the Mallow sports, little more than week ago. The perform ance occurred in regular competition and within the stipulated number of six trials, and every precaution was taken to insure the validity of the record. After the contest was over, the shot, which was the regulation iron sphere, was taken away and weighed by D. Power of BalIywalter, formerly official handicapper of the Gaelic A. A. and who came to Ameri- ca with the Gaelic Invasion team of 1888. It was found to weigh fully 16 pounds. Then the ground was tested by C. Sheedy, civil engineer and found to be perfectly level. The put was measured with steel tape. All three facts with afadavits from the judges and measurers have been lodg- ed with the Irish records committee, and there. is seemingly nothing to pre- vent the acceptance of the new mark.
 Morgan has had a remarkable ca
 
 propel the weight about 20 years ago, but did not figure in the front of put ters until 1890. Since then he has captured English and Irish champion ships galore, and came to America in 1900, when he won the American title with put of 46 feet 11a inches. Dur ing his stay here his best effort was AT feet inches, but this was never accepted as the record, for it was found that the shot was several ounces short of 16 pounds. In 1897 Horgan moved the worlds record up to AS feet 2 inches, where it stood un- til shattered by Ralph Rose several times this season. Roses best effort was AS feet ' inches ut the Olympic games, St Louis, about a month ago. When Horgan heard of Roses great feat and that he was deprived of the record, the giant Corkonian was cha grined and vowed he would never stop until he owned the worlds best figures again. Even he is not satis- fled with the record where it is at present, and has said that he will move the mark up to 50 feet before many moons.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
DANNY nAHER'S SALARY.
1t is Larger Than That Received By
 The Pre- sident.

The New York Globe and Conner cial Advertiser prints the following 1n- teresting review of Danny Maher's ca reer as a jockey, and also quotes the salaries of other prominent American Jockeys. American jockeys will earn fortune on the American and Eng fish turf this year. Time was when the earnings of racetrack rider scarcely provided him with enough to eat Former financial hardships are now things of the past.
 To an American rider came the proud distinction of wearing the colors of the king of England on the English race courses. The name and fame of this Yankee jockey has spread as wide as the history of the turf itself. This youngster Is Danny Maher, who re ceives $25,000 for riding the kings horses.
 Maher earns more money than any other jockey Tn addition to the sal ary he receives, he has two other en- agreements for which he receives $20,- GOO year. This large amount, coupled with the $25, 900 he receives from the king, and $8OO0 outside fees, brings his yearly earnings to about 5000, more money than the president of the United States receives.
 Maher is not yet twenty-two years old and was born in Hartford. He rode in this country for several years. The season prior to the one in which he sailed for England he was "Tod" Sloan's greatest rival. Since his ad- vent on the English turf he has won many great races. Only recently he captured the rich Jockey Club stakes at Newmarket.
 From "Bill'' Daly's stable in Graves end to the royal stud at Sandringham, and the royal stables at Ascot, is the height that Maher has scaled-a height greater and more distinguished that ever attained by any other American jockey. K.
 Maher will have his usual vacation, which he will spend with his parents in Hartford, Conn. He will come here in December and return in February.
 Below is quoted some of the princely salaries that are yearly received by A Y,a <noy1 }ooIynsuc.

THE DIAMOND.
ONLY ONE
 POINT NOW
Separates Boston and New York-Fag End of Sea- son is Showing Some I Of the Best Ball Playing.

President Joseph Gordon, of the Greater New York baseball club, yes terday sent formal challenge to President John T. Brush of the New York Nationals for a series of games to be played for the worlds champion ship, provided the Hignlanders win the American league pennant.
 Brush's answer will be awaited with interest by the thousands of fans who think the Giants should play the American league pennant winners TOT the championship won last year by the Boston American league club.
 Gordon's communication follows:
 ssIn behalf of the Greater New York baseball club of the American league, I hereby challenge the New York National league club to play series of seven games for the worlds championship iii the event of the win ming of the American league pennant by the Greater New Forks.
 '.In view of general popular de- mand and in the interest of true sportsmanship, believe that such series should be arranged forthwith. As far as the Greater New York club IS COuC6FIl0u, SdUC IcCCApCo SoC oAA NAN significant figure. The New York public, which has supported the game IoyAlly through years of yicissitudes, is entitled to consideration and the time has now arrived, in my estima- ton, when this support should be rewarded by the playing of series that will be memorable in baseball history.
 i'The American league won the title of worlds champions when Boston de- feated Pfttsburg last year. If the Greater New Works defeat the Bos- tons in the American league race we will have a right to defend the title If you wish to prove to the baseball pub lie that the New York Nationals are capable of winning these added laur- els from the Greater New Yorks, we will pave the way.
 ''The responsibility will rest with you, MT Brush, to accept or decline this fair, square proposition, made in the interests of the national sport.
 'sIn stipulating the number Of games to be played we would suggest that three be played at the Polo grounds, three at American League park, and the place of the seventh game, if it becomes necessary to play it to be decided by the toss of a coin, the winer of four games to be the champions of the world"

The Harvard Eleven Gets a eta Great Shake.up --- Tom
 Tevlin Expected to do
 Much for Yale.

Cambridge, Oct 4.-Harvard's var sity eleven underwent a tremendous upheaval yesterday as a result of the showing of the men in the game with Williams last Saturday.
 Parker, the giant freshman from Milton academy, was shifted from center on the scrubs to left guard on the varsity. Squires was advanced from right tackle to right guard, where his POS pounds may be more serviceable. Williams was advanced from tackle on the scrub to Squires' place. Lockwood was put in at left end in place of Blagden and Guild ad- vanced and changed from fullback on the third eleven to halfback on the varsity.
 Frazier was tried as substitute to Cunniff at center on the varsity. White was changed from fullback to halfback on the second team, McFad- den also being transferred from right guard on the varsity to right guard on the second Pell, of the second, was given first call over Wilder at left guard on the varsity, and l.. Derby, brother of the two famous athletes, was put in at right halfback on the scrub.
 &a Of these changes the shifting of Par ker. and Squires to guard is the most solving a perplexing ques- ton in satisfactory way. Brill, the big tackle who figured so conspicuous ly in the game last Saturday, is out with a strained muscle, and Captain Hurley also failed to get into the scrimmage, being down rather fine" as the result of a too strenuous life of late.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Batch Is batting at about 200 gait for the Brooklyns.
 Waterbury is a great sporting town The people are very fond of athletics, baseball, football, basketball and bowling. They have shown how they love the national pastime by the way they turned out in large numbers to witness the three games at Riverside park every Sunday during the past season. And how generous they were. At least $40 was paid by a crowd of 5000 people to see three games on one Sunday, and on other Sundays the same number of people paid about $20 or $50, munificent sums, an average of about one-half cent. each person. After furnishing the finest kind of ball all season the six teams in the City Amateur league had $240 to di- vide, $40 for each team.

ASGCACly WuGA UclL casting became the proper sport. No open contest of this sort had ever be- fore been witnessed in the worlds his- tory of fishing. In 1900 an international fly and bait casting tournament was held In Chicago and subsequent ones in San Francisco. Chicago fishermen have made bait casting the ideal fishing sport Chicago is the pioneer of that game and has more overhead bait casters than any other fishing port in the world. The bait used is generally frog. All other kinds are with a f1y-and in some cases the old style angle worm. The first event was the t'delicacy" contest, with one-quarter ounce bait at target To- cated 60, 65, 70, 75 and 80 feet distant. Two casts at each distance were allowed each man. This proved the most ecxit- ing contest of the day, excepting alone the long-distance throw. Owing to the exceeding light weight of the bait the caster was obliged to use very delicate touch in casting. It is consid- cred about the finest piece of work the artist caster can possess. The target is float with wooden circumference of one foot of space, then one foot of water to an iron rod, which divides another foot of water for a, wooden ball about six inches in diameter in the center of the float To hit the ball or cast the bait inside of the inner rim counts perfect. or 100. If the bait hits the wooden outer ring it counts 99. For each foot or frac- tion from the target demerit of ten from the perfect score is counted. Be- fore entering the contests the pole, bait. etc. of each contestant was weighed. measured, and the make of the rod, noted. This was for the purpose of ill., ing with the international clubs in Eu- rope and in the United States as an open event for worlds records. The winner of the first event was Joseph Hohmann. whose averaged record was 98.5. MT. Hohmann will be remembered as the winner of the 1902 and 1903 open tour naments for all around casting There were S8 entries for the second event, which was for distance and accurate bait casting. This was an exciting con- test and was won by A. c. Smith, who secured an average of 98.5. The third and last event was the long distance casting, which was held on the lawn. With broken rod which had befallen him in the first event, Ernest Bartholo- new, of Kalamazoo, Mich, sent the buzzing little leaden bait 1691s feet, ten feet of @ which were taken off asa demerit for having fallen shy that much of the center tape. There was gusty, choppy wind blowing and under the conditions the throw of 15S feet was considered 8 marvel.
