BAN JoHNsoN,s DENIAL.
Declares He Never Tried to Get Chi
cago Nationals.

Chicago. Nov. President Ban
johnson of the American league, was
back at his desk in the Fisher building
today after having spent fortnight
hunting in Wisconsin with Jake Stahl,
of the Washington club. The Ameri-
can league executive hammered a
couple of large spikes into the reports
connecting his name with the Chicago
Nationals and other reports regarding
affairs in his league which have been
circulated during his absence.
President Johnson declared the story
that he was to become leader of the
Chicago National league club was
ridiculous. The report that President
Carson of the Central league was to
become manager of the Boston Ameri-
cans next season also was branded as
without founda ton.

the Boston Americans next year all

DAN BRoUTHERs STILL Ar 1T.
Has Been Playing Ball for Thirty
Years


New York, Nov. Dan Brouthers
is going to work in New York!
Had those words formed the first
paragraph of a newspaper story TWEEN
ty years ago it would have set every
baseball fan here buzzing, and the
whole sporting world would have had
something new to discuss. Cameras
would have been busy. Today Dan
Brouthers. one of the greatest bal
players that ever lived, comes int
Manhattan, quietly tells his frieRgka
that he is going to work, and the base
ball world, which once Worshipped al
his shrine on the diamond. can now
see him as an everyday citizen.
Quit playing baseball?" inquired
Dan, in answer to a question. We'll.
I guess not; I'll be playing until they
cut the uniform off me, and, you know
/ can go some yet. You fellows must
have heard of Poughkeepsie. haven
you?"
Everybody laughed. They thought
the big fellow was stringing them.
They did not know that Dan Brouth-
ers has been playing baseball con-
tinuousiy since 1876 Think of it
thirty years in the game. Even Jim
Mcguire can't touch that record. When
BFouthers and other members of the
famous Big Four passed out of the
National league they were lost, and the
baseball world came near forgetting
them. But Dan is found.
Some of them drifted around through
the minor leagues and finally quit al
together, but Brouthers has kept it up
to this day. He played first base and
managed the Poughkeepsie team of the
Hudson River league during the season
just passed. And he hit close around
500, too.
Dan Brouthers first came into prom
inence In 1880 while playing for Buff
falo. On the club with him at that
time were Rowe, Richardson and White.
They were such wonderful players that
they became known as the big Four,
and were eventually sold to Detroit for
an immense sum of money. That was
the first big baseball deal on record.
Later they We're sold to Boston
Brouthers then went to Brooklyn, later
to Baltimore, and then to Louisville
and Philadelphia. He then began tC
show signs of slowing up" and went
to Springfield in a minor league. From
there he drifted around minor leagues
until he went to Poughkeepsie.
Brouthers always played first base
OF the old-timers-that is, back in the
'S0s-Dan BroUthers. Sam Thompson
Roger Conner, Adrian Arson and Pete
Browning were considered the five
greatest hitters the game had ever de-
velooed
All of them passed out of active base
ball life but Brouthers, though Thomp-
son did play few games with Detroit
the past season just to Fill in"

Wen Known Boxer Killed While on
Hunting Trip.

San Diego. Cal. Nov. John H.
Richie, widely known lightweight
pugilist was killed while hunting yes
terday near Poway. With Richie as
he died was the pet dog which for
years had been his constant compan-
ion. In death the brute would not per-
nit anyone to get near its masters
body but by strategy its seIf-imposed
vigil was finally ended
Ritehie was in a buggy when killed.
Irving Phillips was with him. Richie
had his gun between his knees and
had just reloaded it after peppering a
rabbit The jolt of the vehicle in all
probability caused the cooked weapon
to explode. and the charge penetra ted
the pugilist's jugular vein. It brought
profuse hemorrhage and almost in
slant death. Phillips deposited the
man on the ground in order to drive
away full speed for a doctor. When
he came back the faithful animal was
guarding a corpse. Richie was in
business here; sc years old and un~
married. His only knockout was at
Decoureey's hands here Labor Day in
the forty-ffth round.

Beat berger So That His Seconds
Threw Up Sponge.

San Francisco, Nov Al Kauf-
man gave Sam Berger an awful beat
ing last night. and when Berger was
practically out his seconds threw up
the sponge in the tenth round. Only
once did Berger seem to have a
chance. This was in the third round.
At the opening of the round he drop
ped Kaufman with a right to the jaw.
kaufman stayed down nine seconds.
Berger floored him again with a left
took the count of nine seconds and
was up again. In a clinch Berger
threw him to the floor again but
kaufman came up strong and fought
back hard.
In the second round Kaufman land
ed with his right on Berger's jaw and
floored him. Berger stayed down nine
seconds and came up groggy. but man
aged to last through the round.
After the third round Kaufman
fought in close and did dana gin g
work with right and left upper cuts
that Berger apparently could not
avoid. His legs wobbled and his blows
lacked steam. Occasionally he would
stand UP and swing but seldom land
ed. All the time Kaufman was bor-
ing in and upper cutting in the
clinches.
In the ninth round Berger went
down for the count from right to the
him all through the remainder of the
, round.
When the tenth round opened Kauf-
man went at his man very soon and
beat him into a state Of help1essne ss.
Berger could not hold up his hands or
head and was about to fail to the floor
when his seconds threw up the sponge
In the early part of the fight Berger
showed signs of cleverness but he
lacked steam. Kaufman. on the con-
trary, was slower. but strong and kept
after his man all through the fight.
Judging from last nights experience
neither man is a serious candidate for
championship honors. However, for
heavy weight fight it was a very fast
contest. Both men weighed in late in the
! afternoon, and Berger tipped the beam
/ at 1913. Kaufman weighed about five
pounds less The last betting va
ried from odds of 10 to to 10 to Z
with Berger the favorite.

ever, have played football only three
years. It viii be remembered that
Kansas adoptd the freshman rule last
season and played no first year men
in the Thanksgiving game. Missouri,
on the other hand did not adopt the
freshman rule until after the football
season. and several Tiger freshmen
were in the Thanksgiving game.
However, it might help the gate re-
ceipts-Lansdon and Caldwell take
notice=if Drummer and Ise were kept
out of the Thanksgiving game. 1t will
take pretty strong bear stories from
Kansas to make any one blieve that
Missouri have a chance to win the
Thanksgiving game this year.

TALK OF NEW OUTLAW League.
Rubber Leg" Organization May Be
Started in Portland.


Johnstown, Pa, Nov. lit was an
nounced today on good authority that a
new outlaw baseball league, to be
composed of Tacoma, Spokane and Sc
attic, Wash, Portland, Ore. and Butte
Mont, and Salt Lake City. Utah, will
be formed not later than Christmas
This probably means the disruption of
the Pacific Coast league, as it will
bring about the withdrawal from the
organization Of Portland and Seattle,
two of the best towns. Lucas, a for
mer influential factor In Pacific coast
baseball, is spoken Of as the head Of
the new league.
The proposed league will not en-
brace the national agreement, prefer
ring to get even in the future for some
fancied wrongs. Seattle and Portland
are DESTROYS Of Withdrawing from the
Pacific coast league owing to the long
jumps necessary and the loss of many
days making these trips.
A meeting Of the promoters Of this
league viii be held In Portland within
six weeks.

wAIL FROM MISSOURI.
Want X. U. to Obey An the Confer
ence Rules.

EAALC AAUkCGs
Columbia, No, Nov. The Uni
versity of Missouri athletic manage
ment decided last night to ask the
University of Kansas to abide strictly
by the Chicago conference rules in
the game between the two schools to
be played at Kansas City Thanksgiv-
ing day. Missouri is abiding strictly
by the conference rules and when
it was learned here that the Jayhawk-
ers had only partially adopted the
regulations laid down by the Chicago
conference, the athletic mana gem ent
began corresponding with the. Kansas
management to the end that neither
team would be at disadvantage on
Thanksgiving day. Among the rules
the Kansans have not adopted is the
graduate rule and the training table
rule. BY the enforcement Of these
rules Kansas would lose only two OF
its men. II Missouri should suspend
these rules Coach Monitaw could use
any graduate players and could estab-
fish a training table after the Wash
ington game. If Kansas does not ac-
cede to Missouri's request to play un-
der the strict conference rules, Mis-
souri, for the Kansas game only will
live up only to the rules Of the con
tract signed by the two schools five
years ago. Missouri will. of course,
play only bona hde studentes-

ton to the demands of Missouri. Kan

part of the game next Saturday If not
all Of it. Clark has not been out for
practice this week and no one seems
to know anything of his intentions. He
has not as yet committed himself on the
stories which have been in the air
about his not playing In the Kansas
game. He viii at any event not ap-
pear in the lineup next Saturday. This
viii uecessitate a change in the lineup.
Haughey Is to be shifted from left end
to fullback on the offense. He viii,
however play end on de1ense. Wit
fans win be placed in the line at tackle
and Munford will play guard. Smiley
win take Haugheys place at end. II
Is not thought that this will make the
team work much weaker. Williams mas
played tackle before and is an adept at
this position. TWO years ago Haughey
played few games at fuilback ana got
away in good shape, lie is the hardest
player on the team and much IS ex-
Dected of him in Saturdays game.
Williams has not played the game at
fuu this year that he put up last year.
His poor condition, however, has had a
great deal to do with his playing and
1t Is thought that he will be able to put
up a better game at tackle. Munford
can play guard fully as well as tackle
and Smiley is a good end. 1t is thought
that the line win be fully as strong
under the new arrangement as it was
with Clark in the lineup although 1t
viii not be as heavy.
Reports from Wichita indicate that
the Fairmount team viii be in great
form for this game. Their men are
working hard and as the Washburn
game is their biggest game they will
put their best team In the field against
the blue. The two schools are competi-
tive Congregat schools and the
rivalry between the two Is keen- The
game will probably be as interesting as

Council Proc. ediags.

Ga last Thursday night the council
held a l)pg session, and there was
warm discussion on the subject Of paw
ing the streets and putting Elm new
water mains. Both improvements are
much desired, but its was finally de-
cided that both could not be underiak-
en- at the same time, and that new
water mains were necessary for public
safety. 1t was therefore ordered that
the water mains be laid and the paw
ing of Quee.. street be held up for the
present. An appropriation of 5000
was made for the water mains, aud
work will be commenced forthwith.
Another consideration that led to this
conclusion was the prospect of troll
ley line being installed, in which case
the trolley company would assume a
portion of the expense of paving Tnat
question will be determined within the
next 90 days.
The real estate committee submitted
a report, recommending that the coun-
ell chamber be remodeled and that
desk for the mayor and sergeant be
purchased. The council ordered the
desks, but the other part of the report
went over for month. Afterward
it was decided to hold the future ses-
sions of the council in the room in the
city hall now occupied by the board
of trade, and the latter will be notified
to vacate. This will make better and
more private council Chamber than
the one now used.
The sum of 81 100 was ordered paid
to John ID. Kilmer, being this years in
stallmert on the Kilmer's Grove prop
erty.
Twenty sidewalks were ordered laid
by property owners ia different sec
tons of the city, and the'street COM
mittee was orderded to lay several
sidewalks at the expense of the prop
erty owners. The Baltimore and Ohio
was given 10 days in which to lay the
sdeN ak at the North Queen stree t
crossing.
The council ordered that 500 be APP
propriated to pay the fees Of Attorney
Woods and Lemen in the injunction
suit, and Mr.. Lemen was ordered to
institute suit at once against the
bondsmen OF the plaintiffs in the in
junction SUIT to recover this amount.
The report of the finance committee
was submitted and adopted. The re-
port covered the appropriations FOR the
coming year in each department of
the administration, and calls for to-
tai expenditure of $35, 800. The total
estimated receipts for the coming year
is $50, 700, and the balance on hand is
