CUP FOR BASEBALL CHAMPIONS.
Hermann Tells Plans for This Years Inter
league Series.

Cincinnati. Jan. a.-GarTy Hermann. chairman
of the National Baseball Commission. said to-day
that he believed rules for series OF baseball games
for the championship OF the world would be adopted
at the coming nesting OF the national commission
which is TO control such contests. The rules, he
said, would be along the lines suggested by Presi-
dent Brush. OF New-York. The winning club is to
get a silver trophy similar to the Temple Cup, The
club that wins the series is to be only custodian of
the cup, and will be responsible 10 the national
commission for Its ssfekeeping. Hermann says
that under these conditions there is reason why
the Boston Americans and the Giants should not
meet in the spring.

Drops GIVEN
HARVESTER

Thugs and confidence men are
commencing operations as the har-
vest workers are returning to the
city from the wheat sections.
This morning Ed Hogan was
given a dose of knockout drops and
then robbed of $50 while returning
to Spokane from Pullman.
Hogan had been working in the
wheat fields and this morning came
into Pullman, intending to take the
train for Spokane. While in Pull
man he fell in with a stranger, who
also represented himself to be a
harvester. The man was dressed
like q common harvester, and also
appeared to be an innocent person.
While on the train the stranger,
who had hung onto Hogan, asked
him to have a drink. Hogan took
the drink and shortly afterward fell
off to sleep. When he awOke his
pocketbook was sticking partly out
of his trousers pocket. The money
the man had was gone.
