ball writer may be wrong. No wonder
he is troubled as nine-tenths of the
lickspittle's baseball news is stolen from
the State oJurnal. The assertion that
the Western Association would not last
over six weeks is one piece of baseball
news that was printed exclusively in the

The Weller Weight Could Not Stop
Two Men in Six Rounds.
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. Sunk
Russell, the welter weight, undertook
to stop two men inside of six rounds
last night as the wind-up attraction
before the Broadway Athletic club,
and at the end he was a very tired
fellow, with no great credit coming to
him.
RusseIl's opponents were Jack
Reardon and Billy Ko1b. Russell was
considerably taller than the others.
and he looked to outweigh each of
them by 10 or s pounds. Reardon
was the first to box INK. Russell was
bleeding from the mouth before the
bout ended. In one of the rushes
Reardon knocked Russell through the
ropes.
Russell did little bit better with
Kolb, but he could not stop him, nor
decisively beat him in the three rounds
they were in the ring.

The Oklahoma City papers and fans
are printing a large amount of gossip
about certain members Of their team
being tam ered1 with and throwing
games to the opposing teams. This talk
sounds foolish To anyone who saw the
games in the last series on the local
grounds with the Nets. In every game
/ they were so badly outclassed that they
never had a lookin. What would be
better in Oklahoma City than the talk
of this, kind would be for the fans to
get together and help their team along
instead of talking about games being
thrown If their team Is outplayed
they should be game.
AS further evidence that the attack
upon Umpire Guthrie by Goes last
Thursday afternoon was premeditated
and countenanced by the management
is the following statement which was
recently furnished to the Oklahoma City
papers by President S. G. Heyman of
the Oklahoma City team which is very
unreliable in it's statements. Here is
the way it reads: Another great OBJ
stacle we have had to overcome is the
fact that Oklahoma City is recognized
as the fairest and cleanest town in the
association to play ball in. In all the
other towns the spectators are so pre-
JUDGED that they invariably cause the
umpire to decide in their favor. This
is again illustrated by the work Of
Guthrie, who was so badly bruised up
by the Webb City team. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the man has shown
himself absolutely incompetent and
that it is rumored he is a room man
and friend of Herman Crow, the presi-
dent of the Topeka team, President
Shiyely has seen fit to again force him
upon the association
