Champion Corn Husker.

Wsshingtunville claims to have the
champion corn husker in the person OF
Fred B. Seidel. Mr.. Seid.l's record
is 1875 bushels iu day of ten hours.
Mr.. Seidel never sits down as most
huskers do. but works in STOPPING
posture, believing that he can thus
move quicker. The peouliarity of Mr..
SeideI's husking is that he grasps the
ear iu the right hand aud husks with
the left, whereas the most people hold
the ear in the left and husk with the
right.

signed to the effect that the organization
would not turn over a single player to the
American League unless Johnson and his

MAY BE ANOTHER WAR.
Dark Plots Said to Be Laid Against
American League.

When the American League base ball
magnates convene at the Hotel Breslin.
New York. tomorrow. they will be con-
frOnted by the minor league problem which
has developed into what is said to be a
deep-rooted conspiracy against the very life
OF Ban JOhnson's organization. The scheme
was Matched late last fall. so the New York
Suns informant says and the only way it
can be blocked is by a backdown on the
part of the American League. The National
League and the Eastern League are the
arch couspirators. The National League
has not given up its fight against the
American League, although a nominal peace
was declared year ago. The National
League men are figuring on an ultimate
victory by cornering the market for play
ers. They figure that the American League
stars cannot last forever and that by
combining with the minor leagues which
develop the young blood by the score each
year, they will soon be able to freeze Holm
son < Co. out entirely.
This Is why the minor leagues have made
their demands to have the Ndra fling nrice
of each player raised to 81 $50 which the
American League refused to grant last De-
cember. only to have the National League
come out in favor of them a few weeks
later. 1t IS understood that IL the Amari-
can League continued TO be obstinate at
tomorrows meeting the National League
would foster scheme to break the ma
tional agreement that exists at present.

the one thing assured by the results OF
the matches in the national championship
tournament played yesterday ir the New
York Racquet and Tennis Clubs court, that
outcome of the competition being made
certain by the defeat of the present holder
of the title. George H. Brooke of Philadel-
phia. by Milton s. Barger of New York In
the chief match of the day.
The game was by far the most sensational
of the contests up to date. and when Mr..
Barger. with a game against him and SEEM

splendid brace in the second game ana Dy
brilliant play SO turned the tables that
Mr.. Brooke Immediately was put on the
defensive, there was an uproarious out
demonstrations grew warmer as the match
went on and the New Yorker by superb
work. in which his service and placing were
equally faultless, won three straight and the
match.
In the first match of the morning J. I.
Blair of New York won three straight from
J. P. Gregg of Philadelphia after singular
" close contests.
In the third match Payne Whitney Of
New York and Robert Kelso Cassatt Of
philadelphia were opposed and partisan
feeling had ample chance to assert itself,
as the match was one Of shifting fortune
and form
Mr.. Whitney won the first game in rum
away style, then lost the second after a
sharp contest by score of 12-i5. The
third was 30 close that 1t called for a set
at IA all. Mr.. Cassett winning by 1914.
The fourth game was close also and
brought another set at IA, Mr.. Whitney in
fine effort at the finish winning by 1916
and making the score a tie with two
games each.
With all depending then on the fifth game,
Mr.. Whitney went in to serve still under
the stimulus of his rally in the critical
part of the fourth game. and practically
duplicated his success in the first game
by winning the match by 1873.
