1T WAS BAD LUCK
Charlie Neary Tells of His
Battles of the Past.
How He Just Managed to Miss
Top of the Ladder.
STAR ON ASCENDANT.
Strong Hopes of Defeating Dave
Deschor Of Boston
In Their Contest, Tonight, Be-
fore Badger Athletic Club.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. I'm an inter
view today, Charlie Neary, who is bill
ed to meet Dave Deschler of Boston
before the Badger Athletic club to-
night at Schlitiz park, said:
At have been endeavoring for a long
time to get to the top of the ladder in
the lightweight division, but just at
the time when I appeared to be near
the top something happened to push me
back again. I cannot make myself be-
lieve it was because I was inferior to
the man who defeated me. but rather to
unfortunate circumstances.
my defeat at the hands of Jimmy
Burns in Los Angeles, just after had
beaten Aurelio Herrera in a decisive
manner, came rather Unexpectedly. I
felt confident that could beat Burns
without any trouble and for that rea-
son accepted the match on his own
terms. I have no kick to make now,
for Burns put the sleep-producer over
me in the second round and there is
no use arguing that point. 1 do claim,
however, that Burns was lucky in get
ting the swing over for otherwise the
bout would have gone much longer and
think my chances of winning were
better than his; at least that is the way
felt about it and I am willing to meet
him at any time in a return match and
split the money in any way he desires.
TN my match with Dave Deschler
the last time the fans knew as well as
do that Deschler was fortunate in
cutting my eye with the string of his
glove when we came together in the
first round. 1t was a handicap to me
throughout the bout as could see out
of only one eye. I will try and prove
next Friday night that I am the bet
ter man and if / beat Deschler I in
tend to try and force Burns into an
other match with me and also to get
on the trail of Dick Hyland, Jimmy
Britt and other top-notchers in the
division

TEBEAU IS AFTER TALENT.
Hopes to Secure Connie Mack's Con-
sent to Retain Jimmie Burke.

st. Louis, Feb. 1.-The Republic
says: George Tebeau, owner of the
Kansas City, Denver and Louisville
baseball clubs, spent yesterday in St.
Louis, and while here tried to pur-
chase the release of several Cardinal
colts.
Tebeau saw President Stanley Robi-
son of the Cardinals at the Southern,
and offered to pay literally for the re-
lease of Charlie Murray, the Cardinals
hard-hitting catcher, but Mr.. Robson
declined to part with hurry or any of
his other youngsters.
Some of our young talent cost us
big money" said Mr.. Robson to Te-
beau, land we have no intention of
parting with any of the youngsters I'M
til after they have been given a thor
ough trial on the spring training trip.
Murray showed us enough last season
to justify the club in retaining him.
We don't look upon him as an expert
ment. He is a smashing fine batsman,
and can catch and play the outfield
equally as we'll. The Notre Dame lad
is a fixture with u.s."
While here Tebeau also had talk
with Jimmie Burke, who was drafted
from the Kansas City club last fall by
Connie Mack. Burke made trem-
endous hit with the Kansas City fans
last season by the splendid results he
achieved managing the Tebeau's
American association team at that
point Tebeau and the Kansas City
baseball public would like to see
Burke return to Kansas City and di-
rect the club again the coming season.

VIII Not Confer on s-Hour Day.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-Chairmen of grfev-
ance committees in conference over
wage questions with general managers
of the western railroads met again to-
day to discuss the causes for the present
deadlock which is said to exist in the
negotiations between the managers
committee and the representatives of
the trainmens organization. 1t is de-
clared the trouble is caused by the re-
fusal Of the men to drop the eight
hour day clause in the wage discus
sion. The general managers are said
to be firm in their determination not to
confer on this point and have asked
for its complete elimination. This sub
ject was UP in the conference today,

A sKATY" CHARGE ILLEGAL.
The Interstate Commerce Hearing in
Oklahoma City Developed Surprise.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Feb. THAT
shippers of grain over the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railroad since jan
uary /, 1905, are entitled to rebates
amounting to thousands of dollars,
collected by the railroad under an
arbitrary charge of five cents a hun
dred weight on freight in foreign cars
turned over to the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas at junction points, was the chief
development in the first days hearing
before Judge c. A. Prouty, interstate
commerce commissioner.
Another interesting feature brought
out in the testimony today is that it is
cheaper to ship grain 500 miles to Chi
cago than it is to Gainesville, Tex,
40 miles. This testimony was de-
veloped in hearing the complaint of
w. o. Mitchell against the Atchison,
Topeka e, Santa Fe. Mr.. Mitchell
testified that when there was a wheat
failure in Texas the railroad company
raised the rates to a pPohibitory point
and forced the shippers to ship north,
where the price was not as good as it
was in Texas.
]. r. Koontz, general freight agent
for the Santa Fe, announced de-
crease in rates from Oklahoma City to
Gainesville and Fort Worth, COM
mencing March Is. To Gainesville
the reduction will be about six cents
and to Fort Worth about two cents
Mr.. Koontz admitted that conferences
of railway men were held in regard
to the fixting of rates Sin order to pre-
vent a rate war"

Ramsey and Could Arc Friends

Pittsburg, Feb. 1T Is reported In
local railroad circles that George j.
Gould and Joseph Ramsey, Jr., for
merly president OF the Wabash, had
ended their fight and that Mr.. Gould
had agreed to help finance Mr.. Ram
sey's proposed Air Line from New
York to Pittsburg, and that it would
connect with the wabash in this city.
In statement to a correspondent in
st. Louis yesterday, Mr.. Ramsey de-
MED this report, although he init
mated that any assistance of this kind
from Mr.. Gould might be acceptable.
I'VE have not been fighting for a
year" said Mr.. Ramsey, and he said
that he and Mr.. Gould were now
friends. IF Mr.. Gould should choose
to enter into a business deal we will
do so without the assistance of the

Gophers Fear a Big Schedule.

Minneapolis, Feb. MANY of the
students and some of the football
players at the university are not so
enthusiastic about the fbig four
agreement as is generally supposed.
No one wants to be quoted for fear he
will be regarded as a ''knocker," but
the general sentiment is about as fol-
lows:
Minnesota will have four big games
next year-Nebraska, Wisconsin, Chi
cago and Carlisle. Can the eleven get
in form for all of these big contests
with an almost new team, with the
practice season as short as it is at
present? If Minnesota could not
maintain her form for two big games
last year, what can it do with four big
games and only a couple of veterans
in the lineup.

peared before the southwestern freight
tariff committee in the Fullerton build

of the shippers against the proposition
to secure shoe cases with wire straps
as a prevention against thefts in transit.
They likewise objected to any increase
in the rate on shipments of shoes in
cases simply nailed down. The contro-
versy is attracting attention all over
the country, as the matter is now before
all the traffic associations. No action
was taken yesterday by the southwest
