MowATT EXPECTS TO WIN.
Local Glove Fighter Confident of Re-
suit With HanlOn.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-George Athearn, one
of the directors of the Oshkosh Athletic
club, was in the city yesterday, closing
all the details for the glove contest in
his arena Thursday night > between
Tommy Mowatt of this city and Eddie
Hanlon of San Francisco. There were
details of train service to be looked after,
and these were perfected before Mr.. Ath-
earn left for home last night. He stated
that the aTmory in which the eight-round
battle is to be decided will be excep-
tionally well heated and lighted and that
it is but two blocks from the main hotel
of the town, which is in the exact center
of the city.
Mowatt, now in perfect condition, left
with his manager, P. J. Carroll, for the
battle ground yesterday afternoon. He IS
we'll within the weight limit of 100 pounds
at o'clock in the afternoon and feels
confident of making great showing with
the man from the coast. He has had
plenty of sparring partners at the Morgan
club in the stock yards district, where
he has done his training, and seems to
be as fast as ever and possessed of the
same old wallop. He will need but
trif1e of work to fit him for the fray.
A letter from Dan Hanlon, Eddie s
brother, received yesterday, stated that
Eddie is well pleased with the arrange
rneflts made for his training by the Osh-
kosh promoters and that he is finishing
his work in nice style. He is confident his
crouchine style of working in the ring
will confuse Mowatt to such a degree that
he will be able to get the verdict even
before the end of the limit set.

Leavenworth, Feb. 16-Late last night
two unmasked young white men sprang
into the west door of the electric line

a word began a pistol battle with the
clerk in charge of the place. The wait

The holdup is looked uDon by the po-
lice as an unEaturally bold piece of
work. Both of the assailants are de-
scribed as very young white men, both
of them between ID and 25 years of age.

The Home station was the scene of

Some time ago two men wearing black

within They got the money, the stuff
from the pockets Oe the two and then
escaped hurriedly being swallowed up
in the darkness. One of the black
masks was found and later an arrest
was made, but no tangible clue to con-
meet the person held for the crime with
the robbery could be found.

Z
to Run Ball Team.
Wichita, Kas.. Feb. 16-Tonight
President d. NJ. ShiveIey of the West
Commercial club of this city, TO pre-
sent the matter of Wichita taking 4
franchise in the association.
The proposition has been hanging
fire for some time, and all that has
lacked, is some Wichita man to take
hold of the thing n Outsiders have
frequently asked for the franchise,
but the fans of this city would like to
run the team themselves. just as the
for the control of the Blues by home
people.
To help out the promoters who are
at work on the matter, President Shive-
ley will appear before the CONNER
eiaI club tonight to see If more local
interest cannot be stimulated.
THE difficulty lies in finding some
capable and responsible party to as
sumo the responsibility of taking
charge of the Wichita club said Dr.
Shiveley. Il have received three or
les with good backing who wanted
to- take the WichitaL team and fran
chise, but the Wichita people appear
to prefer a local nfan for the posi-
ton. They feel about 1t as Kansas
City fans feel about the Blues There
is plenty of support at Wichita for
a club, and there is no doubt as to the
baseball interest in that city. They
have an excellent ball park centrally
someone to undertake the responsible
ity of an association club. I think

BALL PLAYERS TRADED.
CantiIIon Traded Huselnlan for Nc
CornicIz and O'Nefn of Washington.

Chicago, Feb. 16:-Joe Cantillon.
manager of the Milwaukee team of
the American association, and Jake
StahI, manager of the Washington
American league team, have consum-
mated an important deal for players,
Milwaukee giving Huselman for Barry
Mccormick and Tip" O'Neill. The
other American league clubs have
granted waivers in the cases of
O'NeiH and Mccormick, and the Of
fetal announcement of the trade was
made last night
Huselman is the big outhelder who
showed such promise a year ago, but
who failed to live up to expectations
when tried out in fast company.
Comiskey and st. Louis both claimed
him last year, the local owner finally
being acknowledged as the owner OF
the player After playing for time
with the Sox he was loaned to Detroit,
but later went back to Cantillon-
Barry Mccormick made his reputa-
ton in major league ball as an in
fielder with the Chicago National
league team. He is a good performer
at second base, although not very
strong at bat. An abundance OF good
second basemen in the American
league alone makes possible the waiv-
er in his case. O'Neill is a speedy
outfelder. but, like Mccormick, is
weak with the stick.
On paper, the deal appears to be
very advantageous one for Cantillon.
