WITH THE FIGHTERS.

San Francisco, Sept 21.-The sup
ervisors yesterday granted the permit
for the Gans-Walcott fight, which
takes place next week, and the an
nouncement is made that no more per-
mits will be issued. This means the
death of prize fighting in San Francis
co, as no contests are possible with
out permits. There will be no Britt
Corbett fight here and no more hip
podromes with Jeffries as the leading
attraction.
The cause of the supervisors action
is TO be found in the greed of the
fight promoters. The enormous prof
its derived from the prize fights have
caused a wild scramble for permits.
The public has been repeatedly fooled
with rank. One-sided contests which.
have put thousands of dollars into the
pockets of promoters. All sorts of
schemes and tricks were used TO Sc
cure the coveted permits. In order
TO put an end to the annoyance and
trouble over these licenses the super
visOrs decided not to issue them.
y political row between some of
the supervisors and the promoters also
had its effect 1t is possible to hold
contests at Colma. but fight held there
have been financial failures.

MANAGER BIRKEL REPLIES
TO Mr.. DALE'S CHALLENGE
Says Deere Manager Was Fairly Treat
ed in Sundays Game, and Ac-
cording I Their Agreement.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-Editor
Argus: Manager Dale. of the Deere &
Co. baseball team, whose challenge APP
peared Sept. 10. says he was accorded
anything but fair treatment by myself
in not allowing him to substitute
pitcher when Bramberg gave out. Mr..
Dale came to me during the game and
asked permission to put Bushong, of
the Deere & Mansur team. in the box.
refused this request, as both Mr.. Dale
and myself had agreed before the game
that no outsiders were to play. We
had also exchanged a list of men who
were to be in the game. Mr. Dale gave
me a list of Il men from whom he
could pick nine. and it was his lookout
to have a pitcher in case Big Skel's
arm gave out.
Mr.. Dale has worded his article in
the paper in way which would make
the reader believe that | would not al
low him to put another man in the box.
This is not the case, and l want it
clearly understood He had two pitch
ers in the game besides Bramberg.
Mr.. Dale says nothing but fair test
will satisfy him. We gave him one
last Sunday so far as l can see. He
also says that his team won the pen
nant. He should have worded this
statement a little differently by saying
the Deere & Co. team won the pennant
through the aid of Warner, the Univer-
sity of Illinois pitcher. who won two
games which would never have been
won with regular shop man.

BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Few people realize how much de-
ponds on the management of men in
the batting order of baseball team.
Sometimes a team of strong hitters
will begin a season by making so few
runs compared to the number of hits,
that comment is instantly aroused.
The captain of the club then studies
the matter. shifts the men about in
the batting list. and finally strikes the
winning combination. ~
The leader of a great team must
know the exact value of every man to
get the best results" said a we'll
known player recently. For example.
Clark Griffith. of the New York Ameri-
cans. was anxious to get Pat Dough
erty to lead off for his team. and con
Siders Willie Keller the greatest
second man in the business. for Willie
seldom forces his man and is hard
one to double up. Then, too. he can
place a ball with any one in the bust
ness.
The heavy hitter of a team. like
Roger Bresnahan. of the New York
Nationals. for instance. is generally
located at the fourth place. The make
up of the batting order is quite a study
and a very important department of
the game.
The most runs with the least hit
ting is the problem the managers try
TO work out. and often only fairly
good timber will do splendid work with
the batting order accurately arrang-
ed

CHARACTER DIES IN THE
COUNTY JAIL AT CLINTON
Harry Rochambeau, the Scissors
Grinder, Succumbs to Attack of
Heart Disease.

Harry Rochambeau of Camanche,
well known character about this vi
cinity, is dead. His death occurred
at the Clinton county Jail, in which
institution the unfortunate man had
been serving a sentence of 80 days,
having been sent down from the north
side, where he was arrested Saturday
for intoxication. The death of the
well known scissors grinder. for that
is the occupation which the former
Camanche man followed, was sudden.
Apparently he was in his usual health
in the morning. At II o'clock Jailer De
laney was in the cage at the county
place of detention and engaged ROch-
ambeau in conversation. Suddenly
the man fell to the floor. He died
a few minutes later, before the ply
stefan, who had been quickly sent
for. arrived. Heart disease is thought
TO have been the cause of his sudden
demise.
"Bubby," as the deceased was ia
miliarly called, was known through
out this entire section. He travelled
about, sharpening scissors and razOrs
and earning a livelihood as best he
might That he had seen better days
was evident, as the little scissors
grinder was at one time a student and
scholar. Indulgence in a passion
for strong drink was his besetting
fault, and proved his undoing, for his
once brilliant mind was shattered and
he became a vagrant, wandering from
town 10 town. an Outcast from home
and friends. Rochambeau gave his
age as 50 years, but he looked much
younger. His appearance was strik-
ing. and his Oddity of dress and man
ner made him conspicuous figure
wherever his fancy took him. "Bub.
by" had his good qualities. He was
kind and gentle when not under the
influence of the liquor which wrecked
his life. and his fOndness for children
was evinced on many occasions and
was a well known characteristic of the
singular individual whose life came to
a sad close.

is MAKING FIGHT
Rusty Owens Will Bring Financial
Pledge From Rock ford to
Spring field.
TRYING TO HOLD FRANCHISE
But it is Said Dubuque is Only City
That Will Vote FavorabIy
To SoxviIIe.

At the Three-Eye league directors
meeting to be held in Springfield Oct.
II. Rockford will make a determined
effort TO prevent the franchise for that
city from being transferred to some
other city.
Rusty Owens, recently appointed
manager for next year, evidently knew
he would have a hard fight on his
hands to keep the franchise, and at
once set about raising funds with
which to make a showing when the di-
rectors met.
His efforts have been fairly success
full. and it is said he will go to the
capital with a paper showing pledges
calling for 81 700 with which to put
next years team on its feet. Nor is
that all
Visiting teams have always COM
planned that they could not make hotel
bills in Rockford, and as this was the
most serious complaint against the
town, Owens. so it is said, will also
bring a paper drawn up in the shape
of a promissory note, signed by the
Rockford stockholders, offering to pay
10 all visiting teams the average re
ceipts if the crowd is not large enough
to make it up.
Something has stirred the fans up
in Rockford. and il seems that they
will make a fight before dying. But
it looks hopeless. Dubuque alone will
support the Forest City, and it is al
most certain that some other town
will be given the Franchise.
Already four cities have announced
that they will have representatives in
Springfield TO make plea for admis-
sion. They are Peoria, Moline, Dan
vile. and Burlington.
Delaying Averages.
Bloomington Paragraph: Accord
ing to custom it is expected that a
great howl will soon arise from var
ious quarters of the Three-Eye circuit
at the delay in giving out the official
averages, and the secretary will r.
blamed, when, as matter of fact, he
is not at all responsible. At the pres
ent time Secretary Thumler is up with
his work and could get the averages
all out in a very short time if the
other attaches of the league would
do their work according to instruC-
tions. A couple of days ago a re-
porter was shown the score sheets of
series of games that ended June %.
They had just been sent to the head
quarters here, almost month and a
half late. The scorer should have sent
them in day or two after the series
was completed. Others were noted
which showed the same sort of derelic-
ton on the part of the scorer. This
is a case of plain unvarnished neglect
and should be looked into at once.
If this is not done about the only pa
per that will want the records will
be the Police Gazette as the matter
will be dry reading at Christmas time
and the little ones will hardly accept
the averages for presents even though
put up in Morocco with gold bands
NicOI In the City.
Manager Hugh NicOl arrived in the
city this morning from his home in
Rockford in response to a wire from
the Rock Island association for the
purpose of winding up the business of
the season and discussing plans for
next year.

child of Mr.. z. L. Mcpherson, 80 N.

sleep but two or three hours in the
early part OF the night, which made

mother concluded that the child had
stomach trouble, and gave her half of
one OF Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets, which quieted her
stomach and she slept the whole night

nave effected a permanent cure and
she is now well and strong. For sale
