LONG TERM CONTRACT.
Cantillon Signs With Washington
 for Three Years.

Washington, Oct 23.-Joseph Can tillon has affixed his signature to a three-year contract as bench man ager of the Washington Baseball club.
 The terms of the contract have not been made public, beyond tue length of Cantillons service here, but 1t Is understood that he will have entire charge of the Nationals in every sense that the word implies. Can- tillon will be responsible to the board of directors. He insisted that he be authorized to buy, sell. trade or release any player whom he deems not serviceable on the club to repre- sent Greater Washington.
 Jake Stahls future as a player is up to the deposed manager himself. In the event that Jake wants to go to another city rather than continue on the club which he once managed, 1t Is known that at least three American league clubs would grab at a chance to get Stahl in trade. While Manager Cantillon refused to commit himself on the future of Stahl, 1t Is possible that he may play first base for the Nationals in case he wants to return to Washington and makes good in the spring.

THE DIAM o ND
MIGHTY BAT
 WAS STONES
Figures Show That St Louis Player Wrestled Seasons Honors
 From Lajoie.

One of the most interesting fea- lures of the American league base ball race was the struggle for batting supremacy between George, All Right" Stone, left fielder of the St Louis club, and Napoleon Lajole, of the Cleveland team.
 While the official returns have not been made public there is no doubt that the St Louis man has wfested from Larry the Terrible the honor that has been his for four out of the five previous seasons.
 Carefully compiled figures give Stone 15-point advantage In per centage- -.3b4 to .339. Stone particl-. pated in all of his teams 154 battles and made POT Safeties, while Iajoie. playing in 152 out of Cleyeland's 157 contests, gathered 205 hits. The ad- vantage in run getting also lay with the St Louis man, as he made 91 ax- cursions past the home plate to the Clevelander's S8.
 On other counts, too, Stone out points Lajoie, as the total of extra base raps stands 131 to 123 and the sacrifice hits IT to 15 Stones long drives embraced 9 doubles. 19 triples and home runs Lajoie's AS doubles and Q triples.

UP TO BUCK FREEMAN.
Danaher May Close Deal With Him
 Tomorrow.

It Is reported from New Haven tha. the deal for the transfer of tine New Haven baseball club by c. ]. Daunher to Buck Freeman of the Boston Americans is likely to be closed one way or the other tomorrow after noon. Owner Danaher stated yester- day that he expected to get a definite reply from Freeman on that day.
 That Danaher is intent upon selling the team seems assured and that he will hold out for good price Is inst as true now as at the beginning of last season. The present owner of the club knows what his franchise is worth from financial standpoint and asserts that sl0.00O Is not bit too high. He has stated that he would not sell the team except that 1t inter feres with his law business. Last season was undoubtedly the lest Danaher has had. all sources os profit being considered, since he took over the ownership of the team. and should he fail to find a purchaser at the right figure. 1t Is possible that 10 avoid the necessity of putting in his own time in the management of it's affairs. he may next season select some capable man 10 captain and manage the club.

WONDERFUL WALKING FEAT.
Yoemans. English Champion. Does Mile in 6 Minutes 19 3.5 Seconds.

A. T. Yoemans, the English anna teur champion walker, performed remarkable walking feat not long ago by covering mile in the as- founding time of 6 minutes 19 3-5 seconds. breaking all former worlds records, both amateur and profess sional. Yoemans made his appear ance for,the first time on the athletic horizon this year and at each and ev- cry contest demonstrated that he Is the heel and toe phenomenon of all time. Heretofore the worlds anna teur record for the mile was held by Frank P. Murray of the old Williams burg A. c. and his time was 6 min- utes 29. .S-5 seconds, made at New York city October 27. 1883. w. Per- kins, an Englishman, holds the pro- fessional record of minutes 23 sec onds, made at London, England, June 1, 1874. but Yoeman's work com pletely outclasses either of these. As to his style of moving there is not the least doubt. for from the outset the English experts watched him closely for the least sign of lifting" or skipping" but there was none.

 New York, Oct 23.--Henry Philip Burchell will leave for England to- day on the steamship Carmania as the special commissioner of the Jamestown exposition to invite the winner of the coming British inter- varsity rowing contest to meet the winner of the next Harvard-Yale race together with the winner of the in tercollegiate eight pared event at Poughkeepsie.

 Should oxford and Cambridge de- cline Mir Burchell will endeavor to arrange for a combination crew from the oxford and Cambridge crews and another combination crew from the Leander and London rowing clubs to meet the American oarsmen. The de- cision to hold an International row ing regatta at the exposition was reached at a conference here between R. R. Sexton of the Jamestown ex- position and the members of the ex- ecutive committee of the National As sociation of Amateur Oarsmen.
 Assurance 1t is said has been re- ceived that one or more clubs from Europe will send crews.

 Practice For Sunday.

Cornell which meets Princeton in New York next Saturday leads the other eastern colleges in number of points scored. To date the Ithacans have rolled up 165 points against 65 for its opponents. Princeton and Pennsylvania are tied for second place as both have run up Al points. But the Tigers should be given the play as their goal line Is as yer un- crossed, although Bucknell made four points by field goal The opponents of Pennsylvania have made p points against the red and blue. Yale has scored the least number of points of the big four, but has some consolation in the fact that she has not as yet been scored on. The other teams .n the east that have clean slate are Virginia, West Point, Colgate, Dart mouth and Swathmore.

Joe Cans has come out with his final proposition to Battling Nelson, and If the Dane does not come to the front by Saturday the Baltimore boy will sign up with Kid Herman for a fight within the next two months.
 Here is what Cans demands: Weight to be 133 pounds at 3 p. m., and he to get 65 per cent of the purse, win, lose or draw.
 That's a bit of Nolan's own medi- cine, and it will be interesting to note what effect 1t has upon the kick ing manager of the Dane. He will have but few days to think it oyer. however, and something may be ex- pected from him pretty soon.

The l-Waterbury team had an other hard practice last night in preparation for the game with the Acorns in this city next Sunday As the players know they will have a stiff contest, they are showing. up well for practice and Coach Bagley expects them to be in fine shape for next Sunday. A few of the men are still suffering from the effects of bruises received in the Fort Hamilton game, but by the end of the week all the stiffness will be gone. Coach Bagley will in all probability get into the game. The game which was to have been played in this city on No vember 10 with Yillanova has been called off as the guarantee asked for by the college team was too big. Four hundred dollars would have to be given them even though the game was not played, because of the wealth CT. Manager Slavin thought 1t was taking too much of a chance to bring the collegians here.

NEAR FOOTBALL TRAGEDY.
Yale Senior Might Have Been Shot
 But Wasn't-Ball Exploded.

New Haven, Oct. 23.-Burt L.. Brown, Yale senior from Glovers- vile. N. Y., is recovering to-day from football scrimuage on Saturday af- ternoon in which he was knocked un- conscious and left on the field in the soaking rain while the spectators were chasing the giant fullback of the opposing team into the nearby swamps.
 While the varsity team was play ing Pennsylvania State on Yale field, the Sons of Belial' team, composed of Yale seniors, had a game on at Mount Carmel, five miles from here, with the Mount Carmel Giants. q team of stalwart farmer lads.
 A big crowd of Yale supporters was on hand to cheer the college men. The second half of the game was nearly over when Brown, the Yale halfback. who had the ball. made a run down the field for the Mount Carmel goal post Just as he was about to push the ball over he was tackled by the giant fullback of the Mount Carmels. There was re- port like a pistol shot and Brown dropped as If dead.
 He shot him. Don't let him get away!" was yelled from the bleach CTS. and in an instant the crowd made for the fullback. The latter didn't stop to argue but took to his heels. making over fences for the woods, with the mob after him. Finally he plunged into a swamp, the crowd not venturing to follow. Somebody thought of Brown lying supposedly dead on the field and rush was made for him. He was still stretched out but convulsed with laughter. Nearby was an exploded football. The crowd then yelled to the ma rooned fullback that 1t was safe for him to come back.
