ing explanation OF the action OF Davis
appeared In the Youngstown Tele'

Nothing will kill polo quicker than
loading up. Erie was dropped to give
teams players. and the first thing we
see is the team that leads the league
coming here loaded up with the best
second rush of the league, when q
utility man was on hand ready to get
into the game.
'.It's time Messrs Magnates to call
halt on the unspOrtsmanlike con-
duct of your number. Forget your
love of victory and worship of the

public square shake. and then you
may forget II altogether. Polo Is not

that public meeting will be held on
Thursday night for the purpose oi

ed the fight draw. Both men in the
course of the mill went to the fioor
Papke decorating the mat with his
blood smeared form In the first and
Kelly hitting the floor later In tho
battle.
At the first Il seemed that Kelly
was a sure and early winner. But
Papke held on, standing up against a
rain Of blows which only champion,
ship material could deliver. and which
only championship grit could with,
stand. Both men were wild at times.
The bull-like rushes of the miner were
backed by too much muscle to allow
Kelly to make use of his even greater
skill aa
The crowd went wild at times as the
rushes OF one or the other OF the two
battlers was seemingly on the point
OF hammering his opponent into insen'
sibility. No less than 5000 persons
saw the mill. Every seat was sold
and large sums Of money changed
hands on the result.

DOES EVANSVILLE
Own the Canton Franohlse7-Weli
Perhaps Carson and Irwin
Are Not Dictators.

The following taken from the
GAINESVILLE Signal will no doubt be in
teresting to the directors OF the Can
ton baseball team:
There seems to be bit OF con
fusion In peighboring baseball circles
over the agreement GAINESVILLE had
with the p. o. M. league and the agree
ment she now has with the Central
league.
"In the first place GAINESVILLE had d
one.year agreement with the p. o. NJ
league, by the terms OF which she
could withdraw by simply giving no
tice to the league directors. That's
simple enough, and we're out OF that
league, which has no right to our ter
ritory.
'Now as to the second matter. The
directors OF the GAINESVILLE Baseball
Co. and President Carson and Secra-
ary.Treasurer w. w. Irwin, of Wheel.
ing, signed an agreement to transfer
the Canton franchise and players free
OF charge to this city. Secretary Far
rell was also notified by the Central
league people that this territory was
now held by them"
Regarding the above statement a
member OF the Canton organization
said last night: Some OF the state
ments made by Carson and his chief
from Wheeling are simply rot and
when they talk about giving away the
Canton franchise they talk like lot
OF parrots. They have no more license
to promise the GAINESVILLE people the
Canton franchise than q man In the
moon. They will find out thing oT
two when they meet In Cleveland on
January 7. The chances are that they
will both be called upon to make good
some of the statements that have been
going the rounds lately. The facts OF
the case are that Carson and Irwin
have been holding themselves out as
dictators OF the Central league so long
that they really have the idea thai
they actually own the league. They
will find out very soon that some othsr
people have word to say. and by the
time the gentlemen OF the o. Il p.
league get through with them In
Cleveland they will be a bit wiser
than they are at the present time or
will miss my guess. Neither OF them
knows any more about baseball than
the law allows"

Lively Interest 10 Taken In the Pro-
posed League to Be Formed In
Cleveland. January 7.

Down in Springfield the people are
taking lively interest in the proposed
new league that is to be formed In
Cleveland January Z. The following
which appeared In Saturdays issue OF
the Gazette. will give our readers
some idea as to what the sentiment
really is in that city:
without a doubt, in President Nor
ton, aided by the magnates of the dis
gruntled o. & p. league clubs, lies the
hope of SpringHeld's future In a base
ball way.
THAT they mean business there rs
no double. That they want to break
away from the western division o. Il
p. clubs. is evidenced In every news
paper published In those cities, as well
as the reports that are being sent out
from cities having clubs. Ever since
the middle OF last season, Akron.
Youngstown, Sharon and New Castle
wanted to break away and with that
determination to get out has come the
talk of a new league.
"At no stage Of the proceedings
have the prospects looked brighter
than they do right now. Canton mag
mates are willing, so 1t Is said. to sell
to GAINESVILLE. which club wants in the
Central league. The whole matter
will be threshed out at a meeting OF
the o. g. P. league In Cleveland. Janu.
airy 7. when It is said, the new league
will be formed.
SEVEN CITIES SELECTED.
According to adyices sent out from
Cleveland. Youngstown and Akron,
seven OF the eight cities have already
been selected. They are Akron.
Youngstown. Erie. Sharon. New Cas-
tie. Springfield and Canton. Such q
circuit with one other city at cor
respondingly favorable location. with
regard to the other cities. is one which
would cause any backer of the game
In any one OF these places to lay
awake nights and pat himself on the
back. The old question of mileage
which has for years been a thorn in
the side Of the Central league mag
mates would be settled. as all of the
cities are closely connected.
"on every hand. Is being heard IN
this city. talk to the effect that the
in this, s,clty would be bet
ter than ever next year. II for no
other reason than to make Hendricks
and varnell sorry they left, Truly, 4:
Springfield could get into such a cir.
cult as Is being backed by President
Morton and the Youngstown and
Akron magnates. local fans and those
interested in Springfield
club. would have much to rejoice over
hat Hendricks. Varnell and Carson
have provided the opportunity for the
change"
