This will entitle the Topeka patrons to
the best minor league ball in the coun-
try. Players in this league will
be but little behind the players in
the National and American leagues.
The price of admission to the games

airy limit will be increased from $1,000,
the limit in the Western association, to
$1,000, which will insure the best minor

Manager Dick Cooley of the local
team was very much elated over the
news Of Topeka's draft by the Western
league. This is what ne had to say: I
feel very much gratified over theaction
Of the Western league. We have been
making a single handed fight to shake
off the smaller towns in this league and
get into the company in which we be-
long. Ever since I have been interest
ed in the Topeka team our aim has
been to give Topeka the best ball we
possibly could and We realize that iE
working for our own interests we are
also advancing the interests Of Tope-
ka as a ball town. We viii have first

be hitch in the plans but it does not
seem prOba bic at this time. We Will
have a harder lot to contend with next

Cooley has not as yet made any an
nouncement of the personnel of his
team for next year. He has been
awaiting the action of the Western
league. However, he has several first
class players on the string and those
who are wise say that Topeka will
have a winning team next year. Out

Chicago. Dec. 29.-Two additional
cities were tentatively admitted. Presi-
dent Norris l. O'Neiu was reelected
for a term Of five years. and the fran
chise of every club was made per
petual, contingent on compliance with
the constitution and bylaws of the or
ganization, at the annual meeting here
today of the Western Baseball league.
This ends the talk about a change in
the circuit to Gust Denver and Pueblo.
In order to make the organization

ed TO draft Topeka from the Western
association and put a team back into
St Joe. No. upon which the league
has been paying protection since 1905.
This decision may bring up an inter-
esting condition in baseball. There is
2 rule that no league can take a city
from another league in a lower class
until one of the towns has been taken
by a league Of still higher class. De-
spite the fact that no Western league
team has been drafted by a higher
league. an attempt VIII be made to
show the national asso citation that the
rule works an Injustice to the West
ern league by forbidding it to take a
city from another league which might
draft from a lower league. while the

The fighters were officially notified
by Manager Riley of the Casino ath-
letic club today that they would be
required to weigh in at 1 O'Clock on
New Years day and that the battle
will be started promptly at o'clock,
Pacific time. Cans remains the favor
tie at odds of to 1.
Despite heavy fall of snow through
out the night Cans and Herman took
their daily morning run of ten miles
over the country roads. The high
ways were knee deep in mud and
snow, but the rival pugilists founder
ed through the mire at a rapid pace.
Herman stated this morning that from
now on he will eliminate sparring
from his daily routine. Cans en-
phatically denied reports that he was
not exerting himself and stated that
he had never trained harder in his
life. He said he was forced to do so,
as the cold weather made It
difficult for him to reach the required
weight
Cans statement was corroborated

correspondents who have been on the
ground for the past fortnight. Work
on the arena is being pushed day and
night and it is expected that the
structure will be completed tomorrow.

WHOLESALE BUSINESS

New York, Dec. 29.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Christmas week made a favorable
comparison with previous years as 70
the volume of trade. Retailers stocks Of
winter goods have been so well dis
tributed that there remain less than
the usual aSsOrtmentS for bargain sales.
Wholesale business is good for the sea
son, and collections show further I'M
proVement. JObbers are delivering
spring goods in some lines, adding TO
the freight congestion, which has not
been relieved, except in isolated cases.
Manufacturers complain of the light
receipts of fuel and raw material which
has reduced activity at many plants,
and there is also some interruption be-
cause of inventories and repairs. OF
the whole, however, there is less idle
machinery than is customary at this
time. Lack OF snow greatly facilitated
building operations at many cities and
work is making rapid progress al
though delayed deliveries of materials
retard operations in this industry.
Prices are maintained in all sections
of the iron and steel industry, with all
departments crowded with work and
contracts that run far into the future

and no sales of size are expected until
after inventories have been taken. The
future of the market depends on spring
business equaling the volume anticipa-
ted by the large initial demand. Steadi-
ness of raw cotton is a supporting in
fiuence, however. Few developments
have appeared in mems wear woolens,
but activity is anticipated after The
holidays No interest is at present
shown by purchasers of dress goods.
Wool goods continue to develop a little
faster than worsteds indicating that
the trend has probably changed. Prices
of cotton yarns are higher, prompt de-
Iiveries being so much needed that the
mills make higher bids. Prices for
packers hides are firmly maintained,
and some varieties have risen still

mand for upper leather, especially Cal

FOR THE McGovERN BENEFIT
Cans and Herman Offer Their Ser
vices=A Purse From Nevada.

Tonopah, New, Dec. 29.-While some
classes may not recognize the fact as a
fact, it still remains that sporting men
are more willing to aid a man in dis
tress than men in other callingS. This
has been proved again by the evident
desire of Joe Cans and Kid Herman,
who are to fight here on New Years
day, to help Terry McGovern, the for
n1er feather weight champion, who is
now down and out.
Yesterday a telegram was received
from Sam H. Harris, who has acted as
Terry's manager for a long time past,
asking that Cans and Herman be pres
ent to assist at a benefit to be given
McGovern in New York late in jan
uary Herman Immediately wired that
he would help and Cans answered that
if possible for him to do SO he will be
there and do everything possible to
assist.
Today there came another request
from Harris. He wanted TO know If
the Nevada camps could raise benefit
purse for McGovern. Cans was pres
ent when Manager Riley received the
telegram. start it with hundred
from me-" he said. So the subscrip-
ton began and before it is finished
Harris may be assured that Tonopah
and contributory camps will have
made the sum handsome.

Bradstreet's says:

1
With an unparalleled volume of
business for 1906, increased by a re-
cord holiday trade and heavy vol
ume future orders booked, the COM
mercial and industrial interests of the
| country look forward with confidence
to the developments of 1907.
While many manufacturers are
closed until after the turn of the year
| 1t is noteworthy that holiday suspen-
sions in the iron and steel textile and
various other industrial lines were OF
short duration, owing to the mills be-
ing so well sold ahead. Current job
bling and wholesale trade is of the
filing order chara and while a cold
snap early in the week helped retail
trade in -seasonabIe goods the wealth
er, on the whole, has been too mild
for the fullest developments. Money
continues firm and active, but easier
conditions are looked for after the
turn of the new year. Car shortages
still prevail. though the situation is
somewhat better in such sections as
the northwest and parts of the south.
One of the most significant features
in the entire situation is that consum-
ers are apparently convinced of the
permanency Of present high prices
and. as shown by advance orders, are
disposed to order ahead with liberality
and confidence.
Buying of pig iron for delivery in
the second half of 1907 is increasing in
volume. Eastern furnaces are well
sold into the third quarter of 1907.
Basic pig figures largely in the con-
tracts now being placed. Most of the
business calls for delivery in the sec
ond half of 1907, while the quotations
range from S22 to S23.25 at furnaces.
Southern pig iron brings $25 a ton
for spot delivery, while $22 is quoted
for the first quarter; 81 less for the
second, $3.50 to $40 for the third. anc
