Barney Dreyfus, the prince of base
ball club presidents, says he will not
reduce! the salary Of one of his players.
Dreyfus made more money last season
than ever in his career, and he intends
the men who helped make it for him
shall be remembered handsomely. Drey-
fus never retains man who loes not
care to play for him, and does not hold
onto him in the hope of getting s big
price for him.

sleep on corkscrew and never fall
out of bed. The public was given the
rinky-dink, the double cross, the high
roll and the ground fall. As result
the game fell into a disrepute which
still clings. - ~,.., .>.-es.. ,,
- There is another cause for the
crookedness Of wrestling. That is the
limited number Of men engaging in it..
There are many wrestlers, but there
are only few as compared with other
sports. A man.. if he is good at the
game, soon gets to place where he
has no opponents and cannot make q
living following the game. j.; Usually
the first thing he does is to permit
a. second rater to throw him and then
comes the inevitable return match
probably a "no fall' deal-followed
by third match in which the good
man pins the counterfeit to the mat
after the manner Of naturalist i'm
paling a prize butterfly. Then the
good man goes out and repeats the per-
Torrance with some other false alarm.
The wrestlers are not always alone
in the fakes. Sometimes the officials
are as deep in the, mud ,as are, the
rwrestlers in the mire. A story Is told
of Chicago match a few: years ago
which will bear repeating.
A big man was to meet little man
and the little chap was to win. The
referee and promoters we're all in the
game and was expected to make a
killing in the betting. The match was
catch as- catch-can, strangle hold barred.
On the night Of the match, after the
sure-thing crowd had placed all Of their
available cash the outsiders grew wise
to what was going on and getting to
the big chap who was to lay down,
offered him more money to ttdouble
cross'' the little chap and throw him.

can association and announced for his
reason that he did not propose to allow
johnson to control his vote as johnson
was reported to have claimed that he
would. This naturally ruffled the COM
placency of the big Lacquer. He was
out to get the scalp of Grillo and has
evidently succeeded.
Ban johnson is a big man in base
ball. He has shown wonderful powers
of organization and in the face of
stiff fight built up the American league
until it is the peer of the old Ma
tional. He is too big man to be
butting into the affairs of the minors
and the general followers of the game
will resent the dabbling into the af-
fairs of leagues other than his own.
johnson is said to aspire to the posi-
tion"of car Of baseball and the Grillo
resignation is a sample of his power.

public wise to how baseball is worked

batters to fan at his curves, but never
would the big boy get out in front of
q crowd and not do his best to make
monkey Of the batter. Rube could
not throw game that way.
Another point against the stories
about Rube is that he was "fxed.'
Rube g makeup is such that no one
would think Of engaging in bad deal
with him. He is too apt to fly off
the handle and tell all he knows about
the affair to the first reporter he en-
counters. They are barking up the
wrong tree in the case Of Reuben. In
my opinion he is like a wrestler I once
knew who was always ready to fix
match, but it always had to be for
him to throw the other fellow. Any
time RUDE Waddell gets into frame
up it is a safe bet that the Philadel-
phian will be the winner. The stories
told of late won It hold water.

Herrera Successful.

Both have met practically the same
men in the ring, and Of the two Herrera
was the most successful, but the rapid
stride Herman has taken the last year
proves that he has come forward con-
siderably since, as he has done most Of
his fighting in Chicago. That this go
will undoubtedly prove one Of the best
of that division is evident from the
style Of milling between the two men.
Of the two men Herman is more clever
and the prettier boxer, while the Mexi-
can has slight advantage over him
in hitting abilities, altho Herman has
a punch that has put many man down
for the count and will do the same for
the Mexican if he ever connects right
with Herrera 3 vital spot.
So, according to the records and the
style Of milling, their fight should be a
| pretty even affair. It has been said
that Herrera has not been taking the
best Of care of himself and that he is
not able to go more than eight rounds
at fast pace, while Herman has been
in perfect condition for some time and
has proven that he can go twenty
rounds at a. fast gait. In his CATTLE
! with Eddie Hanlon he showed that he
can go twenty fast rounds and still be
strong at the final round and stand the
aggressive rushes of a fighter for twenty
rounds.

first stop will be when he meets Kid
Herman. The pair will probably come

be Il member. We were invited To a
social meeting Thursday evening at
the hOspitable home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. W. Carlyle and with Mr. and Mrs.
Hutton and our better half took q
pleasant three mile drive north and
west. The large house was filled with
members of Yale grange who thorough
ly enjoy these social meetings. An eX-
cellent program had been prepared
which is no unusual thing, rs we noted
when the program was given out for
next months meeting, there was full
quota of good things, as on this even
ing. Questions of Importance were
asked and answered by different ones,
thereby giving profitable information
To all. \ discussion was INDUCED in
by the men as to the economy of hiring
threshers' crew during the busy
threshing time, or was il better for
farmers To exchange work with their
neighbOrs. The scarcity of hired help
made the question difficult To settle.
a few fine selections were read, reel
tatiOn given ana music intcrspersed.
We were happily pleased with the en-
ter ainment and ~ hen we were invited
to one of those beautifully spread ia
bles, we certainly showed our apprecia-
ton of the finishing touch To the pro-
gram. Did you ever taste anything
better than llaky home made bread and
tender fried chicken? We never did
and we overheard our friend Hutton
say he hadn't had a square meal since
he attended meeting at the same
place about two years ago. This isn't
taify, or intended as a hint for another
invitation from the grange, but if we
should have one, we wouldn't decline.
