Ciamorinu for Salaries.

St Louis. Mo, Oct 25.-There is
great dissatisfaction expressed in
Camp Cardinal. Not one of the play
ers has so far received any pay for
the last two weeks of playing of the
National league season and the Brown
series. This is the statement of two
men who are in position to know.
Most of the players are still in ST
Louis waiting for their pay and those
who have gone home went without
their checl-s and with the promise that
their money would be mailed to their
home addresses.
The contracts expired Oct. IS, the
last day of the Browns series. InfOr-
nation from good authority says that
if the salaries of these men are not
paid up to the dollar 10 days from
Oct Is they are de facto" released
from the ownership of the St. Louis
club and National league.
According to a prominent official OF
the Cardinal club the club has Is days
in which to pay off the claims of its
players. He also stated that the play
ers had agreed to grant extra time &c
the club in which to satisfy theil
claims.
President Frank De Hass Robinson
is in Cleveland. so no official statement
from the club has been given out.

age.

The annual report of the Burlington
road for the fiscal year ended on June
so 1904. issued yesterday, shows a de-
crease of s1.S1S,4S4 in net earnings.
although a larger mileage was opera
ted than last year
The Burlington ceased issuing
monthly reports of earnings soon after
J. J. Hill secured control of the road.
Nothing was known therefore of the
operations during the year until now.
Statements heretofore made by the
Burlington people were that the earn
ings were unusually large. and from
this the impression was created that
the annual report would show a large
increase in net earnings.
The officers of the company were
justified in making the statement that
earnings were large. The gross re-
ccipts from freight and passenger
transportation show an increase Of
$4,000. 900. but the operat ng expenses
were so much in excess of the gross
earnings as to leave the large dccreas
in net.

Earnings Per Mile.

The gross earnings a mile were 81
Alb in 1903-04, against ST.2O5 in 1902
O3. The operating expenses, includ-
ing taxes. a mile in 10000 were S5,-
OGG against s4.G63 in 1902-0S. The
percentage of operating expenses was
GS.34, against G4.72 in 1902-03.
The number of revenue tons moved
one mile increased $50 per cent. and
freight earnings increased 4.37 per
cent. Passengers carried one mile in
creased 81 per cent. and passenger
earnings increased 2.53 per cent.
The total amount at the credit of
sinking funds on June 80, 1903, was
$21 .697,725. This amount was increas-
ed during the year by the sum of ST.
40S,G73, of which $721,716 was paid
directly from the earnings of the year,
and the remainder. S6SG.956, was the
accumulation of interest on bonds held
in the funds. This increase was used
in purchasing S1,4OS. 900 bonds. of
which $4,000 were Cancelled and
$4,000 remain uncanceled in the
sinking fund investment

SQUIBS ABOUT SPORT.
Melody sests o,Keefe.

Chicago. Oct 25.-Honey Melody is
I tie new welterweight champion. The
! tile was won after ten rounds of fight
ing with Jack O'Keefe before the Blue
Island Athletic club last night At no
time during the battle did O'Keefc
have n look-in He was given one of
the most terrific beatings of his career
IN the ring. He saved himself from
gong out carly in the fight by holding
on TO his opponent. Seldom has a
more enthusiastic crowd of fight fans
gathered round a Chicago arena than
the crowd that shouted their approval
of last nights struggle. When the de-
cisiOn was announced the sports ap-
plauded wildly In the first round it
was apparent that Melody was the
more clever of the two. He was in
perfect form. and the blows delivered
by O'Keefc glanced off his body. doing
absolutely no damage. Melody sent
several singing blows to O'Keefc's
face and landed on his opponents
wind at will. O'Keefe was vislbly wor-
RED and began his ciing!ng tactics at
once In the second round Melody
broke through his opponents guard
and by showing the struggling O'kecfe
away from him succeeded in whipping
him to a standstill. The later rounds
were a mere repetition of the first two
rounds. Like lightning the blows of
the irate Melody landed on the dis
couraged and beaten O'Keefe. The
tap of the gong at the end of the tenth
barely saved O'Keefe from knock
out. The preiiminaries were spicy.

BOILER Polo Leaaue Trouble.

Richmond. Ind. Oct. 25.-Develop-
ments today show that the condition
in the Western Roller Polo league are
anything but satisfactory; in fact, dis
organization is threatened. as a result
of the salary limit that has been put
into effect. Last year the league paid
eXtravagant salaries, some of them
running as high as 500 a week. This
year the limit is put at $50. and the
star players of the east do not relish
the idea of dropping 80 per cent of
their incomes. These players are the
best the country affords, being the
cream of the talent developed by the
various leagues that formerly -four
ished throughout New England. While
a few players have signed contracts.
those whose presence is really needed
TO make the sport attractive and pop
ular show no inclination TO do so. Re
ports from the east show that the
players have agreed among them
selves. and contracts are being return
ed unsigned.
