He says that laying bricks has put him

him to put me out of the way if he

manager, and he is willing to back me
with good side bet.'' -
Mctadden was one Of the very good

was rough and-t umbler, on the Mel

F. J. Marshall Would Wrest the
Chess Title from the

New York, Sept. 15.-It was an
nounced here today that DR.. Emanuel
Lasker, chess champion Of the world.
has been challenged to match for his
title by F. j. Marshall, the young Amer
lean who won first prize in the recent
international masters tournament held
at Nuremburg, Germany, and it is al
together likely that the two experts
will come together in the course of the
winter.
Lasker has expressed his entire will
ingness to play Marshall, because Of
the withdrawal from his agreement Of
G.. Maroczy, the Hungarian champion.
The latter has become identified with
home politics and in consequence cabled
his inability to play next month, as
had been stipulated between him and
DR.. Lasker. Marshall, it is expected.
will at once bind the bargain by post
ing a forfeit, which Maroczy ne elected
to do. Nevertheless, Maroczy, who will
be able to play next year, is willing to
pay a forfeit, if DR.. Lasker should in
sist on it. The champion is not disposed
to do so. Professor Isaac L. Rice, New
York; J. Herbert Watson, Brooklyn.
and Walter P. Shipley Of Philadelphia.
have been nominated as committee
to decide any differences that may arise
in the arrangements Of the Lasker-
Mashall match. -7

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
A SOCKER LEAGUE;

A move is on foot to organize a
socker football league in the northwest
and If those interested are successful
the game will receive a great boom
next year. It is proposed to start an
eight-team league with the following
cities represented: Minneapolis, ST..
Paul, Duluth, Superior, Winnipeg, Port
Arthur, Fort William and some other
city to be decided upon later.
The game is not new in MINNEAPOLIS
and the people would no doubt become
interested in the affair at once. A
meeting will be called in the near fu-
ture and the plans drawn up.

Baseball's Farewell.

been a frost far real sport Is con-
cerned, and that Is the standpoint upon
which the season is reviewed by the public.
The failure Of the year has been not thru
any weakness of the team, but thrue the series
Of petty prosecutions heaped upon the manager
and individual players.
Tho playing season started off auspiciously
for Minneapolis and interest in the team was
never greater. Kelley was a popular manager
and In short time had following the like
of which has never been in the history Of
Minneapolis baseball. He had the sympathy Of
the public in the series Of annoyances heaped
upon him. There the ante-season declara-
ton that he would not be allowed to manage
the team and dire threats of official action.
