San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-Articles of
agreement for the Fitzsimmons-
O'Brien fight have been drawn up and
signed by the three parties to the con-
tract, Eddie Graney,. acting for Pro-
moter Coffroth, who is still in the east
looking after his moving pictures. The
set of articles signed yesterday is not
the same set to which Fitz attached
his signature in New York.
Under the present agreement Fitz
and O'Brien will fight twenty or more
rounds at Mechanics pavilion between
December 20 and 81, 1905, a definite
date to be decided by Promoter COT
frOth before December 1. The fight
ers Will get so per cent of the gross
receipts of which the winner will re-
ceive IS per cent and loser rs per
cent. Forfeits of $4,000 each are to
be deposited.
Eddie Graney is named as referee
in the articles of agreement. This will
do away with a lot of unnecessary
argument OccasiOned by the fighters
when they postpone the choice of the
referee until within a few days of the
date of the contest.
Bob Fitzsimmons has made arrange
ments to train at CrolI's gardens at
Alameda for his fight with O'Brien.
This was the place where he fitted
himself for his fight with George
Gardner. he could have trained at
other resorts near the city, but he
picked CrolI's because of the spacious
gymnasium.

KELLEY MAKES PROTEST.
St. Paul Baseball Manager Carries His
Case to Court


Cincinnati, Nov. 1S.-A legal con-
test against a decision of the national
baseball commission was begun in the
United States district court in this city
when Michael J. Kelley, the manager
of the St. Paul American association
team, filed a petition for an injunc-
ton against the commission to re-
strain it from putting into effect its
decision that he should play with the
st. Louis American League team.
Kelley declared that he was not I'M
der contract to the St. Paul club and
a sale by Owner George Lennon of
that organization. He stated that if
he should, after the decision of the
commission, undertake to play with
any other team than the St Louis
club he would in effect be blacklisted
and prevented forever from engaging
in baseball as means of livelihood.
He declared that of the members of
the commission August Hermann and
Ban Johnson, as well as John z.
Bruce, the secretary of the commits
sion, had a pecuniary interest in the
discussion, for which reason these
members of the commission were
prejudiced against him. His request
to the commission that the sale of
himself to the ST. Louis club be set
aside had been denied by the commits
sion, which would announce to the
baseball clubs that fact and thereby
prevent him from playing with any
other club.
He therefore asked for an Injunction
restraining the mem bers of the COM
mission from any action whereby any
professional baseball club in the Unit
ed States is prevented from engaging
him as a player for the next season.
A temporary restraining order was is
sued. good until Monday morning
when the case will be taken up for

New York, Nov 18.-In a few days
Young Corbett" will leave for San
Francisco for the purpose of getting into
condition for another battle, which will
be fought before the Colma Athletic
club of California the second week in
December. His opponent in this contest
will be Fred Landers, the light weight
of California, who gave Willie Fitz-
gerald such a hard battle, but never
theless was knocked out in the twenty
fifth round.
The bout between Corbett and Ian
ders was arranged by Jimmy Coffroth,
who secured Corbett's signature to ar
ticles of agreement after he had re-
ceived a telegram from the coast stat
ing that Landers was willing to fight
Corbett and had signed the articles.
Corbett and Landers will engage in q
twenty-five round bout at 1873 pounds,
weigh in at the ringside, and will battle

Emporia, Kan, Nov 18.-The Missouri
Normals scored against Ase Kansas
teachers here Friday afternoon, but were
defeated in a one-sided game by the
score Of "a to 6. The Kansas teachers
outweighed the Missouri team by sew
eral pounds and played a much faster
game. The first touchdown was made
after few minutes of play and from
then to the end of the game the Normals
did not have any trouble in making
gains whenever the ball was In their
possession. Missouri started the game
by trying to gain through the Normal
line and for a few downs made their
gains without trouble. It began to look
as though they would make the game
hard for the Kansas teachers, but once
the Kansas team got the ball they car
ried it for gains at nearly every down
Toward the close of the game they made
gains Of from five to thirty yards on end
runs. The Kansas team also played a
good defensive game.
Missouri made its only score on a
tumble. Hunter picked up the ball and
ran fifty yards for a touchdown and
Stark kicked the goal. This was the
last game on the home grounds for the
Kansas NOrmals. but they will play two
more games before the close Of the sea-

holiday goods is now well under way
and retail distribution of seasonabIe
merchandise responds to the generally
lower temperatures. There is still some
delay in mercantile collections, espec-
tally in the south, where cotton is not
being marketed freely and to a less de-
gree in grain regions, because traffic
facilities are not adequate but the ma
jority of reports indicate that payments
are more prompt in spite of the higher
money rates. Manufacturing plants
