PETER PAN RETIRED.
James r. Keene Says Great Colt May
Not Race Again.

James R. Keene is authority for
the statement that his great colt.
Peter Pan, may not run again this
year, and he also fears that the
famous son of Commando may never
again be seen in public. Peter Pan
is such a big horse that the swelling
in the sheath OF the tendon. which
was the cause of his let-up prior. to
the Brighton Derby, might be aggra-
waited unless he is given an absolute
rest" said Mr.. Keene today.
Peter Pan has won about 100000 in
his career upon the turf. He won
the Belmont stake, the Bro oklyn
Derby, the Standard, the Tidal, the
Advance and the Brighton handicap.
This was his last appearance. Peter
Pan is by Commando, and is the type
of horse which should fifty replace at
the stud his lamented sire.-Philadel-

Duffy, asking for a match

the match If he can see enough money
in sight to justify his training expenses.

some at that. I believe with six weeks

fast enough"
Duffy has written to Day concerning
the financial end of the match and is
awaiting reply. If Day does not con-
sent to run for any large amount, Tom
Keane of New York has agreed to
take on the Englishman. and Will race
him for any amount that might be

X. U. FOOTBALL SEASON.
Schedule Made Up of Eight Games
Four to Be Played at Lawrence.

Lawrence-Eight games, four Of them
at Lawrence, will make up the schedule
of the University of Kansas football
team this fall. The big games, the
ones in which the Lawrence students
take the most interest, will be with the
Kansas State Agricultural college, Ne
braska, Washburn and Missouri.
The Nebraska game is the most i'm
portant one on the schedule. The Jay
hawkers defeated the Cornhuskers at
Lincoln last fall. The result was a sur
prise to the Nebraskans. The football
rivalry between Nebraska and Kansas
is greater than between Kansas and
any other institution, not excepting
Missouri.
The Kansas State Agricultural college
was a dark horse last year and defeat
ed the Jayhawker team at Manhattan
This fall at Lawrence, the kansans ex-
pect to get that game back.
When Washburn meets x. y. there
is always bloodshed. These schools are
not rivals, they are enemies. This game
is always played at Topeka, and has
always been hard fought. Neither team
scored in the game last year.

The White Sox returned from their
"trip this morning and are battling
with the LeaVenworth Convicts for SUI
premacy this afternoon. Leavenworth
has been playing much better BALI
than at any previous time this season
and if the White Sox do not make a
better showing on the series than on
the last trip the games ought to be
worth something. The trip was not
as disastrous. as the last one the
Champs made as the locals this time
won all but eight of the games.
When the prophet of old write:
1.-THE way of the transgressor is hard"
he evidently penned his thoughts be-
fore he had ever heard of the Western
association and the manner in which
'transgressors are dealt with in this
league. Take for instance the case of
Eddie Goes. Goes in a game at the
local grounds August 1, deliberately
and with careful prem editation walk
ed out on the field and assaulted UNI
pire Guthrie when the latter was in
no shape to offer resistance. The bel
igerent ball player was arrested and
his case set for trial. The case has
been continued. and will probably re-
suit in nothing more than a nominal
fine levied whenever Goes gets ready
to stand trial In the meantime Pres
ident Shively- looked into the case
and decided to suspend, Goes indefin-
itely Since. that time Goes has been
his board paid and he himself has
been worshipped as a hero by the Ok
lahoma City public. That was less
than two weeks ago. Since then Goes
has had his suspension raised by
President Shively and will be ready to
play again as soon as his fine is paid.
In order to more fully show their ap-
probation of Goes dirty act, the Nets
management has very kindly voIun-.
teered to pay his fine. If Goes could
manage to slug an umpire every two
weeks, his life in this brush would be
one grand sweet song.
While in Joplin to witness Sundays
game President Shively waived the in
definite suspension on Player Painter
and the belligerent, Duckling is again
with his team. Shively said that six
teams in the league had petitfoned the
reinstatement of Painter and that his
action was based upon these requests.
Not that the Ducklings are wished
any bad luck or anything of that sort
but it looks as though it would have
