MAGNATE BRUSH
VERY SANGUINE

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. October 31.-John
T. Brush. president and chief stakeholder
OF the New York National League base
ball team, who arrived at his home in
this city yesterday, says some Of the Ma
tional League magnates had some cause
to be sorry his team did not win the pen
nant this year. The defeat Of the Chicago
Cubs by the American League leaders in
the worlds championship series opened the
eyes Of great many. according to Brush.
who. with his friends, is OF the opinion
that the worlds title would not have gone
Giants been opposed to the White Sox. Ac-
cording to their figures the Cubs lost out as
the result Of a lack of nerve.
Brush is Of the opinion that the White
Sox would have been just as easy for the
Giants as were the Philadelphia Athletics
last year when the New Workers won four
Of the first five games.
But just wait until next year." says
John T. "McGraw will set pace that
will make them dizzy. There will be few
changes In the lineup Of the Giants and
the team will undoubtedly be the strongest
in the country. Think Of Seymour, Dom
lin and Shannon In the outield. What they
will do to some of the pitching corps will
be little less than shameful. And then,
too, Mathewson and Ames, who were out
OF the game the greater part of last year,
should be in form next season. Just mark
the prediction. The championship of old
National League will come back to New
York next season and later will follow the
championship OF the world"

pires. The officials last year were the cause
OF much tu-feelfng among club owners and
players, and. Of course. President Taylor
received considerable censure. Mr.. Powers.
however, proposes to appoint only men of
experience. and with that end in view he
has sent out notices throughout the country
stipulation that the salary OF an Eastern
League umpire would be equally liberal
as that paid elsewhere.
That there will be no change In the cir
cult OF eight clubs was clearly shown at the
recent annual meeting in this city. It was
thought that the status OF the Canadian
clubs-Toronto and Montreal-was a little
dubious. but 1t Is said that the Canadian
officials are more firm in their determine
ton to stay in the league than they were a
year ago. Two applications for member
ship have been received by President
Powers since the annual meeting one from
the Wilmington Oel) club of the Tri-State
League and the other from Trenton, N. J.
Both clubs are anxious to be represented
in the league next year. and are ready to
buy any purchasable franchise. Lewis Per-
rine. son of Gen. Perrine, wants to place
Trenton In the league, and today will talk
the matter over with President Powers.
What President Powers will do with the
controlling interest in the ex-champion
Providence club is not known That he will
dispose OF his stock to a proper person is
noe denied. but II he cannot find such q
purchaser he will retain his interest In the
club. Although 1t would not be trans
crossing any law of the league to be a club
Powers is Of the opinion that he could con-
duct the affsirs Of the organization moro
satisfactorily II he simply had the presi-
dency to look after.

CHANDLER EGAN AN
ERRATIC GOLFER

H. Chandler Egan had an cratic record
this season until his return to the west after
the national championship. On his best
game he revealed the superiority in style
and achievements that placed him at the
top Of the rating list last season. The long
evenings Of July gave opportunity to Egan
to practice after his office hours. He went
to the Grand Rapids tournament and to the
amateur championship, at which he had to
defend the title. but the lack Of practice led
to a defeat In each case. Yet In fourteen
public matches this season Chandler Egan
won eleven and lost but three.
On May 80. at Exmoor. Walter Egan beat
him by 1 up in ten-hole match; at Grand
Rapids George Clingman. jr.. beat Chandler
Egan by and 5. and in the amateur cham
pionship George s. Lyon defeated him by

were against 8. g. Dinge. 4 and 2, and K.

Chandler Egan now struck his true pace
and won in turn the tournaments at On
wentsia and Oconomowoc.
At Onwentsia, for the Mayfower cup.
Egan beat G. W. Hewett. 8 and 7; Leon
Mitchell. 4 and 3; Austin Potter. up. in
twenty holes, and r. G.. Hunter. and 4.
The foemen he defeated on the Wisconsin
links were Simms. and 4: Hewing, and
8, and Walter Egan, and 8.
In August Chandler Egan made a new
amateur record at Homewood of 78 and he
equaled his own mark OF $50, the amateur
record, at Onwentsia. At the Glen View
Country Club, st. Louis. where he went for
the Olympic team match. Egan established
new eighteen and thirty-six hole records of

of the United States Golf Association, Egan
tied for eighth place His record. once the
ball had begun to fly sweetly from the iron

CINCINNATI. Ohio. October 31.-Joe
Cans, the colored lightweight champion, 10
in town and fight talk ID again ripe. On
the stage OF the Peoples Theater last night
Cans was given rousing reception. He
made long speech. which took we'll with
the crowd. Cans told his side OF the hght
at Goldfeld. and while he gave Nelson
credit for being q game lad. he insisted
that 1t was the Dane who started the foul
ing and ended It with foul in the forty
second round.
There is no chance for Battling Nelson

Herman that will live up to the articles

Chicago the other day. and Nelson can

Cans Is very bitter against the Nelson
party in regard to the fight pictures He
says that he was not given chance to
have his say when the pictures were first
shown. and afterward they were cut into
rounds to show Nelson to the best advan-
tage. He says that Billy Nolan gained

the third a deliberate foul. According to
Cans. out Of the three blows struck the

ATTELL GIVEN
DECISION OVER BAKER


LOS ANGELES, Cal, October 31.-Abe
Attell defended his title of feather-weight
champion here last night in twenty rounds
Of the hardest fighting ever seen in the
local ring, Harry Baker, his opponent
showing surprising form, unexpected abil-
ity to take punishment and continual fore
ing of the fighting in which the honors
alternated round by round The first four
rounds were decidedly Bakers. and the
second round he caught Attell on the jaw
with rap that sent the champion rolling
on the canvas. This was the only knock
down of the fight. The contest developed
into a smuggling match with sufficient COM
bination of cleverness to make the most
exciting fight ever seen in Los Angeles
They frequently INDUCED in rough tactics,
and then they threw caution and cleverness
to the winds and swung wildly with rights
and lefts as they raced around the ring in
close quarters.
Bakers covering-up tactics were effective
In saving him from considerable punish
ment and until the tenth round Attell was
unable to reach him effectively. although
he frequently raised Baker of the mat with
right uppercuts; but Baker began to tire
after the tenth round and slowed UP con-
siderably. while Attell became stronger
and began to play for a knockout. On fire.
quent occasions when the fighting became
fierce and Atteil seemed to be having the
better of 1t Baker would leap OF the mat
l0S@
that he was trying to win on a foul. At
tell hit him low four times during the
fight. Three of these blows were the fault
OF Baker, as he jumped when Abe started
to lead for his wind. Referee Robinson
cautioned him and he stopped these tactics
At the end Of the contest Referee Robin
son gave Attell the decision. which caused
the Baker crowd to set up an awful howl.
and for a time 1t was deemed unsafe for
the Italian to leave the building Baker
was broken-hearted at the result and cried
In his corner after the fight as his seconds
yelled ''robber" and thief"
After the fight. Attell was so disappointed
at the boots and yells of the crowd that he
said this would be his last fight He said the
crowd failed to give him credit for this per-
formance; that he had plenty Of money
and did not have to fight. and as he had
climbed to the top rung of the pugilistic
ladder he would follow the example of
Champion Jeffries and retire as the I'M
beaten feather-weight champion Of the
world.

belief that It was merely another stroke Of
O'Brien's policy to get another match.
Berger Is clever with his hands. but his
ability to give and take punishment has
never been put to a severe test He will

advantage.
