STONER is DRAFTED.
Sedalia Catcher to Go Higher Up
Change in Missouri Valley.

Kansas City, Nov. 10--At the meet
ing of the Missouri Valley league to
be held at the Baltimore hotel here
next week the name of the league will
probably be changed. President
Shively has authority from Secretary
Farrell, of the National association, to
change the league name, and the idea
has been favorably talked of by the
magnates for some time
The league will be called either the
Western association or the Middle
West league, if the magnates decide
to abandon the present name The
past season was a most successful one
for the Valley league. and the pros
poets for the future We're never SO ia
vora BILE. Since it's organization the
league has enjoyed a steady and
ton of DR.. d. NJ. Shively, and if the
rate is maintained it will not be many
years before the league will outgrow
it's present class and attain a class B
rating. The magnateS felt that the
present name is lacking in dignity and
is suggestive of smallness. 1t LOCALITIES
the territory occupied by the league,
they say. There may be opportunities
before the opening of next season for
the Valley league to change its circuit
by substituting larger cities for some
of the smaller ones now included in
the circuit. For instance, if the West
err league should vacate st. Joseph
for Lincoln, Neb., the former city will
doubtless be seized upon Immediately
by the ShiVely cohorts. This is only
one of several possible changes. Pres
ident Shively has applications for
membership from Atchison, Kan,
Wichita, Kan, Oklahoma City and
Guthrie, o. T.. and a number of other
towns and cities. At the present time
there are no vacancies however.
Nov. is or 20 are the dates under
consideration for the league meeting,
and it is expected that all the club
owners and managers will be present.
At this meeting, the league will wind
up its business of the past season and
appoint committees to prepare for the
season to come. One of the matters
that will come UP in the course of last
years affairs is the awarding of the
1904 pennant to the lola club.
All the clubs have their last years
players under reserve for next season,
and all are well supplied with mater
ial for good teams. There have been
only two drafts of Missouri Valley
league players. Secretary Farrell no.
tilted President Shively that Herbert
StoneF. catcher, of Sedalia, and Amos
Morgan, pitcher. of lola, had been
drafted. He did not say where the
men were to go.
Players Claude Feltz and George
Nichols have accepted terms with the
Springfield club of the Missouri Val
ley league for next season.
]. ]. Cravens will be on the pitching
staff of the Minneapolis club next
year, according to a recent bulletin
from the National association. Cra-
vens is southpaw and a good one
He was with the Fort Scott team of
the Missouri Valley league in 1903 and
1903. Last year he was out west with
some brush league. The Shiyely
league is sustaining its reputation as
a training school for players.

REVELATION TO TIGERS
Stanard Made Twenty Yards With
Eleven Clinging to Him.

As the smoke of yesterdays battle with
West Point clears, it is Stanard's work
at tackle that stands out in relief Cver
all other features of the struggle with the
soldier boys.
His great plunge through the Cadet line
for twenty yards, with lie entire eleven
clinging to him, will never be forgotten.
1t was a play that exemplif1ed the
strength and courage in his 22S pounds OF
muscle and sinew.
Yale and Harvard will have to reckon
on this tackle when the teams meet.
The fumbling which gave the Army their
only score is the fault to be corrected this
week. Burke's second costly tumble yes
terday. while partly excusable on account
of the hard tackling of tine Army ends,
may result in putting Ritter at quarter,
Mccormick at fullback, with Foullke and
Miller at the other back field positions.
Tire practice will be secret this week.
Short; who was injured in the game yes
terday, has recovered. The hope of Prince
ton during the final week will rest main
ly on the fact that they defeated a team
which defeated Yale.
Yale's greatest strength in her rush line
will lead the Tiger supporters to demand
odds, though betting will probably be
not more than to in Ellis favor.-New
York World.

FOOTBALL TICKETS LOST.
Pasteboards for Wisconsin-NI Minnesota
Game Fail to Reach Madison.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 1O.-Tickets for
the big game in Minneapolis on Satur-
day are lost somewhere between here
and Philadelphia, and the Wisconsin
and Minnesota managers are f1gurative-
ly, if not literally, tearing their hair in
anxiety while the ''rooters" are vainly
waiting for a chance to spend their
money.
The tickets were ordered more than
two weeks ago from a printing firm in
Philadelphia, and Were to have been
ison Monday, but they have not yet ar
rived, and tracers from both ends of
the line have thus far failed to locate
them. Bills have been received show
ing that the pasteboards were shipped
by express from the Quaker City last
Thursday.

PARALYTlC WALKS.
In an Attempt to Escape From a
Burning Building.

New York,~Nov. 1o.-Three persons
were burned to death, half a dozen
others were overcome by smoke and
saved only with the greatest difficulty
by the firemen and more than 80 others
after az thrilling experience on a mar
row and crowded fire escape, were ta-
ken to the street in their night clothes,
in a fire that practically destroyed
five story apartment house on the IN
per east side today. OF the three
Tins two We're young girls, Blanche and
Lillian Uhlan, Is and IS years old. and
the other was their grandfather, Fred
erick Weber, 90 years old. Weber
was helpless paralytic, yet under the
excitement of the terrible fate threat
ening him he arose from his bed and
made his way to the hall where his
body was found.
The fire is believed to have been in
cendiary in it's origin. 1t started in a
mass of boxes, barrels and broken fur
niture thai lay piled underneath the
stairway leading to the basement. This
rubbish is said to be part of a quanti-
ty gathered by some of the boys in the
house for an election bonfire, but ia
ken away from them by their elders.
Most of 1T was kerosene soaked.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1O.-A letter
from an officer of the Russian auxil-

tedium of the Russians detention. The
officers are literally showered with in
vitations.

SOCIALISTS SCORE.
They Elect Five Members of the WIS.,
consin Legislature.

Milwaukee, Wis. Noy. 1O.-The re-
suit of the election in Wisconsin shows
Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket
and carried the state by a plurality
estimated at between $4,000 and 49,
900; that Governor Lafollette has been
reelected by a plurality of about 50,-
900. and that the congressional COM
plexion remains unchanged from two
years ago. The legislature which is to
elect a United States senator to sue
coed JOS. V. Quarles is largely Repub-
lican. and the question of whether
Wisconsin shall have a primary cleo
ton law was carried by a safe ma
GRITTY. One of the surprises in the
election was the big increase in the
vote of the Social Democrat party.
Four years ago that party polled A.
45S votes in Milwaukee county, two
years ago 10.704. and in this election
1920. The Social Democrats elected
four assemhlymen and one senator to
the legislature.
In the Legislature Chairman W. D.
Conner of the Lafollette state central
committee claims there will be so

measures advocated by Governor La

ONLY FOUR MEN CAME.
Consequently the November Meeting OF
Commercial Club FizzIed.

Gust four regular members of the
Commercial club were present at the
meeting of that body on Wednesday
night at the headquarters, 627 Kansas
avenue.
How many are necessary to make
a quorum % President Mills asked of
Secretary Anderson.
Fifteen was the answer.
IF we gave each man here three
votes'' continued Mr.. Mills, "there
wouldn't be enough to do business. So
guess we had better adjourn"
"Amen," echoed Secretary Ander-
son. -eo
So George Washfn gton Jackson was
ordered to put out the lights and lock
the doors. =
The four members and two news
paper reporters tramped down the
steps, and the November meeting of
the club was over.

Germany's African War.

Berlin, Nov. 10.-A supplementary
budget of $2O,000,0OO for the expenses
of the army in German Southwest
Africa as a result of the instructions
will be presented to the reichstag in
December. Even this sum will en-
barrass the imperial finance ministry,
which is striving to reduce the annual
deficits and at the same time provide
additional funds for various public
works and for the army and navy.
The progress in suppressing the ma
tive risings appears to be going on
measurably we'll. About 1,40O re-
cruits are going to Southwest Africa,
largely to replace the losses of the
commands in the field from sickness.

He DIDN'T SEE HOW.
An Old Darby Wondered How Park
hurst and Davis Could Lose.

An old darby was standing at the
corner in front of the transfer station
on Tuesday morning talking with some
of his colored brethren. The subject
and text was naturally taken from the
election.
Roosevelt had his admirers and they
freely predicted Teddy's election by an
unprecedented vote. According to
their statements there would not be
enough ciphers to write it all down in
one lump
The old darby kept very quiet, but
his face was a puzzle. He listened to
the predictions of his friends for quite
a long while, but finally he could keep
still no longer and exploded with this
awful statement: 81 CANT see how

semblymen and II senators, or ma
jority of each house. Chairman Gold
in of the state stalwart faction claims
the stalwarts and democrats COM
-bined will control majority of each
house, and he predicts that if United
States Senator Quarles is not reelected
the legislature will find itself in a
deadlock.
Perhaps the greatest surprise of the
election was the narrow margin on
which Congressman JOS. w. Babcock
pulled through. His plurality of 5000
two years ago was cut to about 800
this year. This was caused through
the war of the state administration on
the Third district congressman.

OCTOBER OIL RUN.
Exceeded Any Month in History of
Kansas Territory Field.

Independence, Kan. Nov. 10.-There
was a surprising increase in the
amount of oil run in the Kansas and
Indian Territory oil fields during the
month of October. 1t had been an
nounced the runs were averaging about
1880 barrels a day in the middle of the
month, but when the final figures were
obtained it was found the runs for
October exceeded any other month in
the history of the business in this new
field. The total runs for the ten
months of the year have been ALL
S03.72 barrels or four times the total
production of 1908. The indications are
the output of the Kansas and Indian
Territory fields will exceed the pre-
dicted production for the year and
reach nearly 5000, 900 barrels.
Indian Territory and Oklahoma are
destined some day to produce as much
or more oil than is now produced in all
the field, and that time is not far dis
tant. The large increase in the amount
of field work done that way the past
two months and the size of the wells
indicates as much.
