THE WORLD OF SPORT
kILLIAN WAS LOYAL
Stuck to Team Paying Him Six
Dollars a Game

TOLEDO. Ohio, Oct 23.-There has
been many amusing tales told of ball play
erS and how they started in the business,
but Prof. Lewis, the local baseball dope
expert relates an incident in the career
of Ed Killian, the Detroit southpaw. who
has been the Tigers winning boxman this
season, that is worth relating
Lewis lived in Racine in 1896 and Killian
at that time was pitching for the Junior
Racine club. This club had been trying
to get on game with the Racine club
proper but the little fellows were not
given any consideration.
However, one day a game was scheduled
with an out-of- town aggregation which
failed to show up, so the Juniors were
gotten together to take the place OF tnis
team.
Killian was in the box for the small
chaps and to the surprise OF every one ne
shut the Racines out. Afterthat the team
was reconstructed and he was given
place in the box regularly, where he was
successful. Lewis came to Toledo shortly
afterwards, but kept track OF Killians S
work and recommended him to the own
er of the Toledo team as being worthy OF
a trial.
As in the case of many such recon-
mendations, the local owner did not see
the wisdom of such a move and did not
encourage Lewis much, but he kept at 1t,
and wrote Kiliian a letter asking him Tor
terms Ed was a country youth at the
time and his reply read something like
Friend Lewis: Am getting $6 a game
and expenses here and don't like to give
up good thing to play professsql1on[,a9l 1[,9a bail
Yours, Ed Killlan.
Killian failed to land here and after
ward went to Devils Lake, Dakota, and
then drifted to Rockford in the Three
league where, with Claude Elliott, last
year with Milwaukee, he won the pennant-
ing how Toledo failed to pick up good
players.

GIANTS SORE ON
MANAGER McGRAN
Players Are Hratffui Over
Amount of Money Received
From Benefit

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-Manager Nc
Graw, of the Giants, is not meeting with
gratifying success in signing for next
season the players who brought the Ma
tional league pennant to New York. The
Giants are thoroughly dissatisfied with the
amount of money they received from their
benefit, and the pitching staff is especial
ly disappointed because President Brush
failed to recompense it as literally with
bonuses as was expected
Again. the Giants are being denounced
on all sides as cutters, in view of the
fact that they refused to play the Amer
lean league champions for the world S
championship or the Highlanders for the
local championship. They figure that the
poor benefit was principally due to the
unpopular stand taken toward Griffith
and Boston by President Brush and Man
aged McGraw.. At any rate, the players
are holding off on signing and are de-
manding salaries much larger than those
of last year.
The Pacific league is fishing for players
at very high salaries, as it centemplates
abrogating its agreement with the Ma
tional and American league, and taking
the best players in the game. Baseball
is booming on the coast and the magnates
on the other side of the Rockies are pre-
pared to pay top notch salaries.
McGraw said that he had little hopes of
obtaining either Center Fielder Bresnahan
or Catcher Bowerman for next season.
BreSnahan is negotiating for the purchase
of the Toledo baseball club franchise, and
Bowerman intends going into the lumber
business in Michigan 1t will be seen that
McGraw is having his troubles in organiz-
ing the champions for next year.
The Giants have finally agreed to pay
the Norfolk baseball club the sum of 81, 900
for the services of Christie Mathewson,
who was taken from the minor league in
July of 1900. In that year the Giants
We're weak in their pitching department,
and hearing of the great work Mathew
son was doing for Norfolk in the Virginia
State league, President Andrew Freed
man, of the New York club. entered into
negotiations for his services with PreS1-
dent Cunningham, of the Norfolk club.
1t was agreed to send MathewSon to
New York for the remainder Of the sea-
son. Norfolk to pay his salary. If at the
end of the season the Giants wanted to
sign the young pitcher for 1901 they were
to pay $4,000 cash.
Mathewson made a brilliant record for
the Giants. as every fan remembers, but
the New York club failed to keep dts
agreement with Norfolk, although Chris
ties name was placed on the New York
reserve list, but later Withdrawn. Pres
ident Brush. of the Cincinnati club then
drafted Mathewson. after which he made
an arrangement with Freedman to let
Christie return to the Giants. Then, on
the ground that they had secured
Mathewson from Cincinnati and not from
Norfolk, the Giants refused to pay for
him.

'MUCGSY" WAsGOOD
Giants Manager Is Now Polite
to Umpires

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-"One of the reve-
iations of the present season has been the
control which Manager McGraw. of the
New Yorks, has exercised over himself, .
said one of the members of President
PulliamS umpire staff.
There is not the least doubt in my
mind that much of the good result he has
achieved with his present aggregation Is
due to this spirit of repression which has
taken hold of the little manager, and by
controlling himself he has succeeded in
controlling his men and leading them
in the path that pointed to victory.
I'm past years., whenever an umpire
saw McGraw coming in his direction he
was prepared for another outburSt of un-
printable rhetoric that would ultimately
lead to the benching OF the pugnacious
captain or manager This season, how
ever he has sprung a few surprises.
The old impulse to kick--and kick al
mighty hard.still is in evidence, but It
McGraw is not as disagreeable person as
he formerly was.
1.-THE first few times he walked toward
cision in which the New York players
thought they were given the worst of the
decision, l was prepared for flow of
language and an avala9che of abuse that
would knock me speeches. a,
Instead of that he would be ready with
some harmless question by the time he
came up to me, and l would be Speechless
just the same, but it would be with as
seconds between the time the impulse
seized him to lay me out and when he
arrived within speaking distance he evil
IDENTIFY argued his rampant spirit into sub
mission, and the result was an extreme
ly tame meeting.
ION several occasions he has been un-
able to subdue his kicking instinct, which
accounts for his several eliminationS from
games. But on the whole. he has been
wonderfully good, and to this can be cred
tied much of the success of his team. ?

KIDNAPPED BABY IS
BEATEN TO DEATH
Little Boy Who Was Stolen by
Gypsies Found Terribly
Mangied

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 23.-With
the forehead crushed and the throat cut
the body of four-year r-old Michael
Mayerski who was kidnapped near his
home In Phoenixviiie, twenty Eight miles
from this city, Friday evening by a band
of men supposed to be gypsies, was found
today in an abandoned farm house a few
miles from Valley Forge.
In connection with the murder six men
belonging to party of gypsies were ar
rested by Chief Vof Police Carter, of
Phoenixyille. and several constables, and
after an exciting time were lodged in
the Jail at that place. Only the courage
and quick action of the police saved the
prisoners from being roughly handled by
large crowd of excited people.
Story of Crime
The child was picked up Friday even
ing by a party of men who were driving
through the town in two covered wagons.
A boy saw them take the child, but before
he could attract anyone's attention to
pursue the kidnapers they had disap-
peared.
All day yesterday and last night
searching parties We're out trying to trace
the wagons, but without success. This
morning while three men were in the
woods gathering chestnuts they acci-
dentally came across the body of the
boy
Nearby lay club with hair and blood
on it.
The authorities We're quickly notified
and the entire police force of Phoenix
vile and vicinity started out in search
of gypsy bands
Six Gypsies Arrested
During the afternoon one party came
across a company Of them and took them
into custody. They are Henry and Robert
Wells, Michael and Barney DougheTty,
Samuel Rigler and George Wolverton.
They denied any knowledge of the crime
The report that six gypsies had been
arrested coon spread through Phoenix
vile and hundreds of men and women
gathered along the streets. AS the pris-
oners were brought through the streets
there, were cries of lynch them, burn
them"
The officers drew their reyelyers and
kept the angry crowd back. At the lock-
up a large crowd was gathered, and the
officers had difficulty in getting their pris-
oners through the threatening mob into
the Jail. The prisoners were badly
frightened

JERONE's MEN RAID
LOTTERY AGENCIES
Seize Tickets Amounting to
100000 and Make Seven
Arrests

NEW YORK, Oct 2S-In a series of
raids representatives of District Attorney
Jerome's Office today seized 500, 900 worth
OF lottery tickets and arrested six men
and enc woman, all residents Of the lower
east side
The prisoners are charged with selling
lottery tickets. at wholesale to ticket
peddlers Most of them ostensibly sold
Steamboat tickets though one adver-
tised his place of business as a real es-
tate Office and another was the proprietor
of a dry goods store.
Tickets Struggled In
All the places. it is alleged, sold four
kinds of tickets of different foreign lot
teries. Two tickets were for German lot
teries which are legalized by the Ger
man government. These are said to be
brought into this country by stewards of
steamships and smuggled to agents. who
in turn delivered them to the smaller
agents.
The attention of the district attorneys
office was called to the traffic in lottery
tickets here by the receipts of a number
of complaints regarding the methods used
by some of the wholesale dealers. The
only way for the winners of the prize
tickets to get their money was through
the persons who sold them.
Hold Out Winnings
These men, according to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney KreSSel, have, in many
cases, taken the winning ticket, sent it
to the company and received and kept the
winnings, with the result that the real
holder has referred the matter to the dis
trict attorney. As there is no law to
reach such case. there have been no
arrests and the business has continued.
The prisoners Will be prosecuted under
the selling Of a lottery ticket misde-
meanOr.

CURB THE TWIRLER
Pitchers Getting Too Strong in
Baseball Business

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-There is new
scheme going the rounds of the public
prints, by which the growing control of
the pitcher over the batsman is designed
to be lessened.
The attainment of such result is the
main deSideratum of baseball in general,
and, should the proposed innovation be
put into effect, there is little doubt but
that it would accomplish it's result. The
suggestion is nothing less than the placing
of the limit of strike between the bats
mans waist and shoulders, instead of al
lowing a ball above the knees to court as
strike.
In addition to hampering the pitcher
and compelling him to give the batsman
better chance, this plan would practi-
cally drive the spit ball out of existence,
as the main beauty of this ball is its
ability TO come up to the batter about
waist high dropping almost to his knees
just as it reaches the place.
The spit ball cannot be legislated out
of existence by any rule regarding its de-
livery and the innovation appears to be
really sensible thing. Such a rule would
be favored by the Detroit club. and while
it would be the greatest change the game
has known in many years. and would un-
doubtedly result IN the departure from
the. game of many of the pitchers who
now have but average control, it would
be interesting from any standpoint.
The abolition of the foul strike rule
seems probable in the event of no sweep
ing innovation, at any rate.

THOMAS WELL SELL
HIS GREAT STABLE
Young Millionaire Plans to Es-
tabiish Big Breeding
Farm

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Edward r. Thomas
will sell all his horses in training that
will not fit into the plan of himself breed
ing the horses which he will race, and
which he has mapped out for himself.
In no way does this mean that MI.
Thomas will. even temporarily, retire
from the turf He will race next year and
the year after. precisely as he has been
doing, with the exception that the horses
which will carry his colors will be meant
to take their places later in the breeding
establishment which it is his purpose to
found.
Mr. Thomas feels that there is more
thorough enjoyment to be had in racing
horses that he has bred himself than IN
winning with those purchased in the open
market At the same time he realizes
that a breeding establishment cannot be
made up in month or in year, ana
yield its produce, he viii race with others,
bred elsewhere. All his future purchases
will be made with a view to creating and
perfecting a stud. SO that there shall be
no period of retirement by him.

eventually will wear the magenta and

Lady Amelia Goes, Too
Lady Amelia will go with the others,
not because MI Thomas does not value
her or think her worthy to be even the
most distinguished of the band Of ma
irons that he will gather together for the
court of Hermis and StalWart, but, as
these horses will race again next year,
he considers the period when she would
be of value TO his stud too remote.
