WORCESTER. Mass. October 3O.-It de-
veloped yesterday that Theodore Roosevelt.
jr.. was injured In the second half of the
game between the Harvard freshmen and
Worcester Academy teams here Saturday
and was obliged to retire.
The fact that he left the game because
he was injured was kept quiet. Jones. for
the academy. had a clear field In the mid
die Of the second half. with only Roose-
welt between himself and Harvard's goal
posts. In one Of the prettiest tackles Of
the game Roosevelt downed him and kept
him from scoring a touchdown but was
injured in the chest while doing 1t. He
accompanied the squad back to Cambridge
Saturday night, and at the academy 1t was
said that he fully expected to be out with
the squad at Cambridge for practice to-
day. In Saturdays game Roosevelt made
his first appearance on the gridiron.

One more possibility for the heavy weight

Kaufman in his bout with Philadelphia

The championship remains exactly where
1t was before.

but faro has sent many a noble blood back

Marvin Hart, the king regent, has not
been marked for any pernicious activity
in the fighting game since claiming the
title. except to supplying the press bureaus
of Louisville with large bales of copy on
what he intends to do. Hart may break
loose some day and fight, providing he can
find little easy game. Since one amateur
exploded. perhaps he might be willing to
face Sam Berger, CALIFORNIA; other un-
tried phenomenon.
Jack O'Brien's clean-cut victory has natu-
rally made him the big man of the week.
and many writers are specializing whether
he has the strength and endurance to
smash his way to the front. No one IN the
ring today has anything on the Philadel-
phia man in the boxing end
The Kaufmanns. Bergers. Munroes, Rub
Inns and others are nothing more than
wooden Indians compared with Jack but
1t Ia a question whether his pounds could
carry him through a long. grueling con-
test with the first division scrappers. Jack
has brains. and It Is almost a certainty that
when he makes match he knows that he
Is going to win.
Should he agree to meet any Of the big
men. he Will have an army OF supporters,
who would believe that Jack had reached
the stage where ne saw the title in his
grasp. Jack has yet to make good with
the top-notch heayies, but he Is still a
young man and there Is hope.
1t will take a month more OF hard train

public to get good line on Young Cor

was much over weight. and Erne broke

soon as the transfer became known. KING
Leopold and his associates Immediately ap-
pealed to Mr. Pierpont Morgan, who took
the property off their hands and asked that
the edict declaring the concession forfeit
ed be revoked. The negotiations, which
were conducted by Sir Cheng-tung, the Chi
nese minister at Washington, and John W.
Foster, his adviser. on the one side, and j.
Perpont Morgan and Elihu Root. his coun-
sci, on the other side. resulted In the sale
OF the concession. and all the property and
rights attaching thereto, to Chang Chin
tung viceroy of Hupeh province. for SO. $780,
600, which is practically all clear profit for
the concessionaires. They demonstrated
that although the Americans lacked the en-
terprise to build railroad. they were able
to secure a good price for a concession
which had been given them as compli-
ment. 1t is altogether a most disgraceful
transaction, and an unfortunate example
Of duplcity and avarice.
Chang Chih-tung raised 100000 in cash
and borrowed "a, 100000 from Montague &
Company. English banking house, giving
as security a mortgage on the opium rev.
enues Of the three provinces through which
the road will be built. He declined to give
a mortgage on the road. for fear. by some
pretext. the English might seize the prop
erty. At one time during the negotiations
1t was rumored that an English syndicate
was behind the viceroy, whose intention was
to build the road through to Hongkong.
But President Roosevelt had an investiga-
ton of the rumor and satisfied himself that
1t was without foundation. The concession
was purchased from the American owners
for the benefit of the business men of
Hupeh. Human and Kwang-tung provinces.
They have agreed to take all the stock
and furnish all the money necessary to
complete the line. They intend to make
1t a purely Chinese Institution. In order
to develop that phase of the situation
Chang Chih-tung ordered the popular vote
that have referred to. Meetings were held
In all the cities and principal towns along
the right of way. at which the subject was
discussed in all its various bearings. BY
an almost unanimous vote the viceroy was
empowered to recover the concession at
any price that was necessary, and to ar
range for the construction of the road at
the expense Of the three provinces.
I recently saw a singular sign hanging
over the door of a saloon in Portland, Ore.
It read follows:
Drinks Of all kinds. 10 cents.
THE best drink in the house Is cold water"
In Seattle newspaper not long ago I
found this advertisement:
Patent Medicines are Worthless.
1t is better to consult Physician.
But If you want patent medicines
We sell them at half-pRice."

PRESIDENT. BRUSH
FAVORS TWO LEAGUES

NEW YORK, October 30-The New York
base bali public, which has been hostile to
John T. Brush, president of the New York
National League club. owing to his refusal
to allow the Giants to play a worlds cham
pionship series with the Boston Americans
in 1904 has become reconciled to him
since his expressed friendship for the
American league.
At the celebration in Philadelphia last
Monday OF the winning OF the American
league pennant by the Athletics. the Phila-
delphia newspaper men entertained Mr..
Brush. Secretary Knowles of the New York
club. several members of McGraw's cham
pionship team and the New York base ball
writer's At the banquet In the Continental
Hotel, Mr.. Brush. In the course OF his
speech astonished his auditors by pr0pos-
ing this toast:
IT want to drink to the success Of the
American and National leagues. May they
| ever prosper and continue to be as good
friends as I have found them to be to-
night"
This was taken to mean that Mr.. Brush
no longer entertains a beIligerent attitude
toward Ban Johnson's organisation. As Mr.
johnson underestimate the playing ability
OF the Giants. SO Mr.. Brush beiittled the
capabilities on the diamond Of the American
league.
When the championship series between
the Giants and the Athletics convinced Mr..
Brush that the margin of superiority pos
sessed by his aggregation over Connie
Mack's was SO slight as not to permit OF
any outspoken undertaking OF the Athletics.
Mr.. Brush concluded that the showing OF
the Quaker City representatives warranted
unstinted praise not only for the Philadel-
phians. but for the American league as well
Mr.. Brush now wants 1t understood that he
Is a friend OF the American league.
There Is room for two major leagues.
he says, land see no reason why any OF
the National league magnates should have
any intention Of precipitating war In an
attempt to drive the American league out
of business. OF course. rivalry exists but
this virtually is one of the necessities of
