GOSSIP By OIL

Baseball is not paying as well as It
was in the Eastern cities now that
the west is taking away all the pen
nants,a and they are covering up on
expenses. The latest deal is to have
both the National league and the
American league teams play on the
same grounds. In Boston next season
both teams will battle on the American
league park. and the National league
field viii be cut up into house lots.
Boston is paying city for the Amer
lean league and a losing one for the
National league. There are but few
conflicting dates there and this can
be Strengthened out easily. This
system will be put into operation in
Philadelphia also, but I doubt very
much If New York will stand for such
a deal. as Brush and Farrell don't
seem to get along very well. In Chi
cago it would be practically impossi-
bic owing to the many Sunday games
and the same thing is true IN St.
Louis.
The big banquet is on the card for
tonight, and Frank Chance and his
trusty team will try their batting eye
on the patte-de- foie-gras and other
up against the same kind OF dope af-
ter they pay their ten bucks for the
privilege. But the elite will be thore
for all that and several good after
| dinner speakers will tell the Cubs
what great players they are. Judge
Lands viii tell how he knocked a
home run while playing against the
Standard oil team, with Johnny Rookie
| FalI IN sal on
has not been wholly subscribed foI
and the presentation will not take
place before next season.
Packy Mcfarland. with his bum init
finished up Joe Galligan in the ninth
rounds last night at Indianapolis. This
men took it easy during most of the
rounds until the crowd got busy an6
egged them on. Galligan was nc
match for the coming champion and
when Packy did get busy and went af
ter him there was nothing to 1t. H'
knocked him down four times in the
fight and could have finished hin
earlier in the fight If he SO wished
But he went after him in the eight
and ninth and had him groggy wher
the end came.
George II. Kuhl, the we'll known
turfman who was long identified will
the game in Chicago, died Tuesday a
Pueblo, Colo. He was at one tim
manager of the tracks owned by Ed
ward Corridor.
The Hammond high school football
team will line up against the Crow
Point high school team next Saturda,
at Harrison park. The local tear
should win this game but it will no
be an easy job by any means. TIL
same lineup Will be used as on las
Saturday against the Michigan Cit
| team. The money that was taken 1
at the last game will clear all tn
expenses to date but let the rooter
help out a bir on the ticket questio
again Saturday.
The Cubs will lineup against pic
5 team from the semi-pros today, an

d time was 1928 for seven furlongs.
