STATEMENT OF BRUSH.
Tells Why Giants Don't Care to Play
New York Americans.

New York, Sept. 2S.-John T. Brush,
guiding spirit of the Giants, who only
a day or two ago, won the game that
gave them the right to fly the cham
pionship pennant from the Polo
grounds flag pole, has issued state
ment which defends the attitude his
club has taken in refusing to meet
the winners of the American league
pennant for the worlds championship.
President Brush praises the work
of the Giants during the past season,
which he calls the premier organiza-
ton of America. He says 1T has so
elevated baseball during the past
quarter of a century and given the
sport such standing as to immortalize
it as the national game of the United
States. In regard to post-season
championship games President Brush
says in part:
There is nothing in the constitu-
ton or playing rules of the National
league which requires its victorious
club to submit its cham pionship hon
ors to a contest with victorious club
of a minor league. There may be
those who think the winner in the
league, is superior to the winner in
the National. That is their privilege
to so believe and there can be no
criticism for such opinions. but that
furnishes no reason why the cham
pion club of the National should enter
into a contest with them.

that represent the cities of Boston,
Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia.

Louis, the eight largest and most i'm

THE WOMAN WAS sPUNKY.
Turned the Man Down Who Came
Intoxicated to Marry.

A man at Cherryvale advertised for a
wife damse1 in North Carolina re-
sponded, and an engagement was quickly
arranged by correspondence; One day
last week the damSel arrived from her
southern home, the man having supplied
the passage money. They met at the In
dependence depot, were satisfied with the
appearance of each other, and the man
went out to get the license, after lodging
the young woman in a hotel. He was
gone some time and when he reappeared
he was a little under the influence of
liquor. At once the girl called the we'd
ding off, declaring that she would marry
no man who thought so little of her as
to come to his wedding in such a condi-
ton. Moreover, she compelled the young
man to put up for a ticket back to Car
DINA and left on the first train. The item
is interesting as showing that occasional
ly a girl is inveigled into this sort of an
engagement who bears a somewhat differ
ent character from that bestowed upon
the class by popular opinion.-lndepen-

KceIer the Most valuable Batter.

"They can all talk about the great
batsmen that the game has produced.
but where is there the equal of Billy
Keeler?" inquired Joe Kelley, the 9TH
er day. True, Lajoie, Wagner, and
others may be able to hit the ball
farther and tear down fences, but none
of them can do with a bat and ball
what ekeeler can. Batting is a. science
with him. He does not allow himself
to be fooled by a pitcher, but he al
ways hits the ball. He can lay it
down to either side of the plate, hit
it into left, right or center, and do it
without any EFFORT Of course, his
hits do not all go safe, but you can
bet that he can shove it into the di-
rection he wants to nine times out of
ten. Keller is more valuable to a
team as a batter than any of the big
sluggers because he is always doing
something that the other fellows are
not looking for, and, after all. that
wins the game. "-Washingto Post.

Kid Mccoy Is Given the DECISION
Over Twin Sullivan.
The Fight Was a Fierce One
Lasting Twenty Rounds.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 2S.-Kid
Mccoy was given the decision over
Jack (Twin) Sullivan of Boston at the
end of twenty rounds at the Pavilion
last night. The fight was a fierce one
from the start. both men taking adj
vantage of every rule that was short of
actual fouling. Mccoy punished Sui
livan severely, having his nose and
mouth bleeding in every round after
the fifth. Barring the unfair tactics
of the men, which did no damage, the
fight was a good one. Sullivan APP
peared to be in the better condition
and although he was groggy at the end
of several rounds and down for the
count in the twelfth he recuperated
quickly and came back in each sue
cessive round strong. Mccoy tired
after the twelfth. but was so much
the better ring general and boxer that
he was able to take it easy whenever
he chose. In the twelfth. which was
the hardest round. Mccoy hammered
Sullivan on the face until the Boston
man went down and took the count
of nine. He managed to get to his feet
just as the gong rang which probably
saved him from a knockout. Mccoy
showed all his old cleverness and gen.
eralship, but did not appear to have
the punch that has won him many
battles. Although he landed MS rlght
many times on Sullivan's body and
jaw, he failed to put him down more
than once, although staggering him
half a dozen times.
The fight drew the biggest and high
