MANAGER CANTILLON
ALSO A MAGNATE

CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 24.-Joe Cantillon.
during the past season manager of the NIL
waukee American Assassination ball team,
returned from Washington yesterday after
having signed a contract to manage the
Nationals for three years. On his return 1t
was also given out that he and his brother.
Nike Cantillon. had purchased the Mime
apolis American Association club from A..
H. Koch of Milwaukee. AS he also owns an
interest in the Des Moines club of the
Western League he has almost in a day
become one of the biggest magnates of the
country. Mike Cantil.on will be president
and manager Of the Minneapolis club.
Joe Cantillon's contract with the WASH
fngton team calls for q three-year engage
ment at a salary Of $4,000 year. He will
have absolute control of the team, being
free to let go or sign any player he sees fit.
He will manage the team from the bench
himself. but it's more than likely that Jake
Stahl, the former manager, will be offered
the field captaincy.
Boston has also been after Cantillon to
take the place of Jimmy Collins as man.
ager. but the offer from Washington was
| too good to refuse, and as a consequence,
the Plymouth Rocks are still looking for a
man to lead the former champions.
Yes. it is true that have signed three
year contract with Washington" said Can
tillon on his return, land that I am to a
| certain extent out of American Association
ball. had no trouble in reaching an agree
ment with President Noyes of the Washing
ton club. and as l got everything 1 asked
for 1 could do nothing but sign.
"As to the Minneapolis angle all there is
to that is that my brother and I have
bought the club from Mr.. Koch of Milwau-
kee. 1t seems that Mr.. Koch did not care
| to be a base ball magnate after he had
bought the club, but we thought 1t a good
proposition and now own 1t. My brother
will manage the club and we will get a
player-manager for the Des Moines club in
the Western League"

defeat Of Constitutional Democrats in

tional Democratic leaders have been
prominent in zemstvo work. Now. as
candidates for reelection. they are

to Nj. Roditcheff, the most brilliant OF
the Constitutional Democratic orators
in the outlawed Parliament, has been
defeated by Count Shremetief #. the
notorious RcactiCnary and Sunday TWO
Constitutional Democrats were defeated
at Samara.
While these results certainly indicate
reaction Of sentiment against the al-
VaEced program Of the CONSTITUTIONS
Democrats. it should also be explained
that tie nobility and landed proIrictors
have tine dominant influence in Z INST
vO elections and the defeat Of tie Con
stitutiGnGl Democrats proba bly, repre-
scnts more than their hostility to the
principle Of forced appropriation of
lard to which the Constitutional Demo
