A T reat

Monday morning, through the
courtesy Of the Purdy and Hannah
livery barns, large delegation Of the
business men were driven out tothe
shops OF the Star drilling rig manu-
factory.
The delegation was received by
Supts. Coleman and McMannas and
shown through the large and perm
anent buildings erected by this COM
pany. Everybody was agreeably
surprised at the magnitude and
completeness Of the shops and the
facilities they have for turning out
all kinds of work in their line.
The buildings are massive and
strong and permanently built. They
are equipped to build Star rig from
the ground up with the exception Of
the boiler. They now have but %
men employed but will soon have in
additional machinery and material
and will double their force.
The managers VI these shops are
agreeable gentlemen and treated their
visitors royalty.
Chanute is justly proud of this
enterprise and hopes to see 1t build
till 1t eclipses the parent shops at
Akron. Ohio. Such institutions as
this are town builders and bring
very desirable class Of citizenship.
Frank Breyfogle of this city is
general superintendent of the plant.

Prevents FIGHT at Joliet.

Joliet. ILL.,. Dec. 30-The prize fights
scheduled to be pulled off in joliet
last night were indefinitely postponed
on account of action by the Joliet HUI
name society. Sixty warrants for
those who had been advertised to take
part in the bill and for the promoters
of the show were sworn out by ID. II.
Darling. president of the society, and
placed in the hands of Sheriff j. II.
Ray. The news that warrants had
been issued quickly reached the pro-
motors. and they called off the pro-
gram. Sixty-odd followers of the
sport had come to Joliet from Bloom
ington and several hundred from
neighboring towns and Chicago. When
they arrived at the hall they found
Sheriff Ray on guard. and no one was
permitted to enter. Moore and Forbes
weighed in at 121 pounds at ) o'clock
in the afternoon. and it was generally
supposed the authorities would not in
terfere. The promoters were out sew
eral hundred dollars and the crowd
was sullen and angry. The announce
ment that Mayor Crolirs might inter
fere was made yesterday. but few of
the sporting fraternity had any idea
he would stop the fight The move on
the part of the Humane society was
totally un3uspe1ed.

full inquiry on this point, and is of ;hc
opinion that such schedule can be
made with the present circuits, and
the aggregate mileage, as compared
with former years, be considerably re-

Schedule making is distinct feat
ure of baseball, and comparatively few
of the men engaged in the business
have become proficient in the making
of a schedule. The work requires
close study of a number of conditions.
namely. minimum cost of transporta-
ton. equitable distribution of Sunday
and holiday dates. train schedules
hours of travel. open dates and a ju-
dicious division of the baseball Circuit
The first essential TO a satisfactory
schedule is TO divide the cities in the
groups of tours and two. (halves and
pairs in baseball parlanceD. grouping
the four cities lying closest together
in the two halves. and then pairing

vided by putting Cedar Rapids. Dav-

experts say is impossible on account
of conflicting dates in this city and

SPORTING NOTES
f.nateur Boxer is Favorite

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 30.-Sam
Berger. an amateur. who won the
heavyweight championship at ST.
Louis, will be a favorite in his fgh,
with Jim Casey, scheduled for toniSh,
at Mechanics pavilion. The members
of the Olympic club will back their
star so heavily he will enter the ring
on the long end OF prohibitive price.
Berger's splendid condition and his
clevcrness as boxer arc the causes.
Those who are willing 10 back Casey
contend taat If the champion ever
comes in contact with the big Irish
mans fists he will find the mat for 4
short but sufficient sleep. Berger has
had the longer experience of the two
and will be careful that this doesn't
happen. He knows Casey's punch is
at all times dangerous and will be sat
isfied TO win out by outpointing the
big lonGshoreman. Sam completed his
training yesterday and was in the best
of shape. He will be seconded by Pat
Wise. assisted by Jimmy Britt and
Dewitt Van Court. the man who taught
him what he knows of the boxing
game. OF scarcely less Importance
than the windup is the battle between
George Finnan and Eddie Kehoe. both

this should be a benefit TO each club.
IL is conceded by baseball men that
every club plays best on its home

the mileage is short have followed
this plan for years. and IL has invar-
iably resulted in a close and interest
