BIG LEAGUE FOR DENVER
Tebeau Planning to Wreck Western
to Benefit and Control Amer
lean Association.

Disruption of the Western league Is
threatened. In order to control the Amer
lean association. report has 1t that George
Tebeau, part owner of the Denver club,
and Joseph Cantillon, owner of the Des
Moines club, have Joined forces. Accord
ing to a dispatch from Milwaukee the two
owners have decided to transfer the Den
yer and Des Moines franchises from the
Western league to the American associa-
ton. 1t will wrest control from Mike
Kelly and Watkins, two men who have
fought Tebeau and Cantillon at every
point.
Here is how Tebeau and Cantillon pro-
pose to get control of the American asso-
citation. Tebeau now owns the Kansas
City and Louisville clubs of the American
association, while Cantiilon is manager of
the Milwaukee club. With the control of
these three clubs, and the Denver and
Des Moines clubs added. Messrs. Tebeau
and CantillOn would have the vote of five
of the eight clubs of the American league.
The owners of the Sioux City and Oma-
ha clubs are onto the scheme of Messrs.
Tebeau and Cantillon, and they are al
ready taking steps looking toward the re-
organization of the Western league. elm
mating Denver and Des Moines and put
ting In their places Topeka and wichita.

JOE WALCOTT A GOOD CARD
Has Fought Many Battles, but Like
Cans, Some Were Shady
Ones.

Joe Walcott is one of the most inter-
esting fighters in the world. He has
fought everywhere and was always big
card, both from his fighting ability and
his clown antics.
Unfortunately, like Cans, his black hide
is additionally besmirched by few shady
mills on his page in the fighting almanac.
But that one battle at Maspeth with
Kid Lavigne, wherein he had TO fight for
the full fifteen rounds, will make up to
posterity for many a shady scrap.
Although Walcott could bring down the
big ones of the ring there was one man
who always had 1t on him little. and
Joe knew it; yet he would fight him
whenever a purse was offered.
That was Tommy West. They fought
four times, and each won one decision
and the other two were draws.
That last Walcott- West fight occurred
in the coronation tournament at the Ma
tional Sporting club In London in 1902 and
took the prize for all kinds of things, in
Guiding an unparalleled display of game
ness by both and some high-class banter
ing
In the first round Joe crashed a swing
into Tonmy's ribs that would have ended
the fight then and there had West not
been the gamest man on earth
Two of his Stats were cracked, as was
afterward proved by medical exafnina-
ton. yet he stayed the limit, fifteen
rounds, and lost a very close decision.

GAME AS SEEN BY IOWA MAN

This Is the way Britt Qa.) Tribune
sporting writer expresses himself con-
corning the American national game:
The Humboldt aggregation of globe
hunters came up Tuesday, and on ac-
count of the fact that some of our boys
were still convalescent from a severe at
tack of spring fever that has left them
emaciated and lacking in knee action,
beat our nine, 3 to /. The Humburgs had
good advantage, as they were very linn
ber-jawed and their nerve centers were
set high above possible Jar.

The thing opened up by superlative

wad of six-ply lethargy from the point
in our boys where the nerves of energy
and the cords of inertia had become
crossed.
1t was very beneficial through the next
six innings that this swat was made
early, az the return to sOmnolence could
be made later in case the outcome would
warrant, and it wouldn't. Britt got in
a run along in the middle of the game

PITCHERS BOSS IN BIC LEAGUES

That the pitchers are master of the sit
Uation in the American and National
leagues this season is proven by the scar
city of hits batter can make in a game.
There are few batters able to make four
or five hits i'm a battle these days, and
harder still TO stretch these into extra
bases. Catcher King of the Chicago Ma
tionals has the best record for the sea-
son, with q total of nine bases. In a
game on May Is. at Chicago. he had a
double. a triple and a home run off Mich
OILS and McClOskey of the Philadelphia
team.
OF course the record made by King
does not for d moment compare with the
record of the major leagues. In 1884 Dave
Orr. then with the St Louis Browns put
the mark at thirteen total bases Two
years later. i'm 1885 Guy Hecker of Louis
vile and Dan Brouthers of Detroit raised
