AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
 NOT TO INVADE CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 2S--A canvass of the club owners of the American Associa- tion which are here for the meeting of the organization, makes practically cegain that no action will be taken this year looking to the establishment of team m Chicago.
 While none of the leaders would all low the use of their names as author ity. strong minority expressed itself as unequivocally opposed to the plan for an invasion of the territory of the National and American Leagues. This strong opposition has convinced those favoring the proposition that the contemplated move could be accom- plished only after a disruption of the present organization. 1t Is said. and for this reason they are unwilling to go ahead with their plans which had reached the stage where options had been secured upon two ball parks in the northern section of the city, and a tentative offer of the franchise had been made to James Callahan. former manager of the Chicago American League team.
 The new development makes 1t prac- tically certain that no change will be made in the American Association cir cult for the season of 1908. George E. Lennon will probably retain the St . Paul franchise and plans of various minor leagues to establish club In that city will fall of their own weight.

4Bedford's Hope.-

Rising from rather melodramatfc Western play to high tension of stage machine and scenic excellence Bed ford's Hope" was enojyed by two audi ences yesterday at matinee and last night at the Grand.
 The entire production, which is Tn Lincoln Carter's characteristic style IS staged with excellent effect and rather extraordinary judgment for plays Of th.s character. In fact, perhaps more attention was lavished upon the mani mate than the animate components Of the entertainment.
 It had been noised about in regular theatrical circles here that the scenic effects in this piece would be great, and to tho extent of the extravagance of this praise waxed warm the en- thusiasm of the satiated gallery gods and others For at matinee there, was a splendid audience, up stairs and down stairs but the continued rain during the evening rather effected the dimen- sions at night.
 The piece Is built up to the climax in the third act when the hero and heroine, brother and sister, make race against an express train to save the forced sale of the stock of their

TO CLOSE WAREHOUSE.
American Tobacco Company Wants N
 More Burley Crop.

Louisville. Ky, Dec, 2S-A special from Frankfort, Ky. says:
 It was announced here today that the American Tobacco Company has given directions to its representa- lives here to rent out its warehouse at Frankfort and cease business until further notice.
 This is construed to mean that If the company buys the pooled tobacco of the Burley Association at Winchester. an inspection of which will begin on January 2, it will need no more burley tobacco at this time and all it's buy CTS in the burley district Will De With drawn for time at least.
 On the other hand 1t Is contended that it may mean that the American Tobacco Company has decided to buy no more tobacco at all. Developments are being watched with great anxiety by the holders of tobacco of this year, s and last years crops.

A real auto is brought on. and after the moments necessary dark period the whole scene of the race Is opened to the gaze of the excited audience.
 In effect the race was one of the best examples of stage mechanism ever seen here. Not detail was lost sight of in preparing to bring into climax this intense drama. Clouds, of flying dust, girls veil and hair streaming in the rushing wind. rocks. trees and scenery rushing by at the rate of fifty miles an hour. with back ground of the flying express with It's driving wheels fitting around at the speed of fifty miles an hour. begoggled young man at steering wheel. tensely obser- want of every slight variation of the course of his flying machine, which emitted exhausts like the sputtering of rapid fire gun. It was all so real that at both performances even the sated old persons who dropped in to pass the time away" cheered. What ever shortcomings there might have been in the first two. acts were for gotten in the very excellent thrill af- forded by this unusual picture.
 The cast for the presentation Of "Bedfords Hope'' was adequate in tell ing the story. and there were few who did not feel that it was well worth their while to go out on wet after noon or evening and witness g per- formance which deviated from the rut of conventionality in stage action.
 Coming Thro' the Rye" will be the attraction at the Grand Monday night.
