Whether baseball will be played here
next season or not is matter that
awaits developments"
| In speaking of the championship
race, attention is called to the fact
| that Missouri is not prospecting in
baseball. Missouri is in just half a
dozen leagues and not a single flag
will float over the soil in that state.
st. Louis is represented in the two
majors, and neither will get the rag.
The exposition city also has three or
four teams in the Trolley league. but
Illinois is skinning them all. Kansas
City is in the American association,
and can hardly keep out of the last
place. st. Joseph is in the Western,
but is out of the running. Three Mis-
souri, towns are in the Valley, and they
have made great fight. but Kansas is
showing Missouri in this case just as
other states are doing in the bigger
leagues.
The Pittsburg Headlight recounts
the season and the prospects for 1905
in this manner:
"a baseball team in Pittsburg has
been losing proposition, as the ex-
perience of those who have been in
the financial end can testify, but each
season had a losing team, so disgust
ingly so, that some of the most en-
thusiastic fans would quit attending
the games. A winning team must be in
Pittsburg in order to make the money
as has been shown by the attendance
since the locals have begun to play
good ball and climb towards the pin
nacle. Since the present management
took charge of the team, it has been a
winner, having lost only six games out
of thiry-four played. AS to whether
Pittsburg will have a team next season
is not altogether certain. but it Is
practically assured. L believe we will
have a team next year. said President
Wildly, but we will start the season in
a more substantial manner than ever
haf a11n Of he far
lovers of the game will put in with us
every month there is no doubt about
it, and the present management are in
a position to get as good if not a bet
ter team than we had this year, and
one that Will start in from the first to
win the pennant- 1t takes nearly
$1,000 month to make a team go,
but a portion of this is paid by the
gate and grand stand receipts, so it
can be seen what may be expected. =
honestly believe that a good pennant
winning team can be made to make
money There is one thing certain
that If the present management had
taken hold of the team early in the
season it would not have been in the
second division. When they passed
into the hands of the present manage
ment they were winning no games, but
since the change they take an interest
in the game and play to win and are
now considered the strongest team in
the Valley league. The good players
can do a lot of good for the team. but
two or three bad players can undo all
the work of the good ones and easily
lose a game"

Lawrence, Kas., Sept. 14.-Forty
men on the field is the record of the
first week of football work at the Uni
versity of Kansas.
Included in this list are several of
the veterans of last year. Drummer, Ac-

The old men are all in good shape to

President D. M. Shiveley of the Mis-
souri, Valley league was in Topeka on
Tuesday afternoon. He stated that
this has been by far the best year of
the Valley league. do you know
he said, that this is the first season
for the circuit to go through without
a break? In the other two years of
the leagues existence, before 1904, we
had two circuits and two schedules
both seasons. Financially everything
has looked up in fine shape. 1t has
been our best year by far" When
asked with reference to the plans for
the circuit of 1905, President Shiveley
said: I'VE must go where the crowds
are, and then we will get the gate

cult That must be done by the VAL

date of the meeting pretty soon. 1t

is probable that the fine of $50 against
bud Risley for pulling his team off
the field at Topeka will not be en-
forced. Shiveley conferred with the
Topeka management regarding the
matter. President Tholen of lola re-
quested that the fine be not assessed.
The fines of S25 each against the
Springfield players for beating up UNI
pire Owens were also wiped off the
slate. DR.. Shiveley thought the $25
police court fine was sufficient.

A Natural Result .

1t is very reasonable to suppose if the
foundation of structure was removed
that the building itself is bound to
come down. This same principle can
be applied to disease. Take medicine
into the system that will remove the
cause of sickness, and illness will leave
of itself. Dyspepsia, indigestion, sick
headache and billiousness have their
foundation in stomach disorders. Re
move this weakness and the other
symptoms are no more. There is one
cure for this that all druggists sell for
25c per box. 1t is DIR. Gums Improved
Liver Pills. They get right at the be
ginning of these diseases and make the
cure by taking away the cause.

Berlin, Dec. 22.--Sensational CORE
spondence has been passed between thu
German and British governments dur
ing the last four weeks with referenct
to the warlike provocative attitude
adopted toward Germany by the semi
official British press, especially the
Army and Navy Gazette.
The Kaiser took hand in the nego.
tiations, and made his VIGOROUS per-
sonality felt in positive way. He in
structed that the British cabinet should
be informed in effect that if England
wanted war it could have it immedi-
ately, if it was not desirous of such an
event the talk which Germany consid-
cred an affront must stop.
Both Count Wolff Metternich, Ger
man ambassador in London, and Sir f.
.. Laseelles, British ambassador at Ben
in, were caleld home by their re-
'pective governments to discuss the sit
lation.
