LITTLE CHANCE FOR
STAHL-PARENT DEAL

NEW YORK. October 15.-There Is not
very strong probability that Jake Stahi,
| the great but fractions first baseman. will
be with the Yankees next year.
This Is the first of the regular winter
crop of trades Of which many are
written and few are made. There are
four or five reasons why Stahl will not
be with the Yankees in the spring, and
as the first one is that he refuses to play
here. the others need not be considered.
The deal in question is triangular one.
by the terms of which Laporte goes from
the Yankees to Boston. Fred Parent at
| taches himself to the pay roll of the White
Sox and Stahl comes here.
In most mergers. deals, etc, one party
is generally hurt In the mix-up. and a
calm glance at this affair would put Man
ager Griffith in that role. Jim Mcguire
Is very anxious to get Laporte on account
also developing into very fair outfielder.
and he has always been an ordinarily good
infielder.
Fred Parent is still hitting hard, and
can play the outfield and inheld with all
his old skill. so that he would fit into the
White Sox almost anywhere.
Stahl is great ball player. who thinks
that he has been given a desperate
deal. as we say in the first families.
Therefore. he refuses to play base ball
mission. and has allied himself with the
powerful outlawed City League in Chi
cago. He says fatty that he will stay
there.
Summing up the trade" Boston gets
a very good young player. Chicago gets
q star veteran and New York gets written
permission to persuade Jake Stahl that he
ought to be good.
Granting the improbable-that Stahl
might be induced to reform-it is difficult
to see how he could be Of any use to
Griffith except as material for further
deals. He was splendid batter until he
took up the management of the Wash
ington club. and the cares Of that job
(Which we would imagine to be many af-
fected his playing and his batting eye.
He was never wonderful first baseman.
and could hardly drive Chase from his
position. He might make good out
fielder. but he has never played the gar
den. so that is guess.
II the usual winter schedule is followed
we will be getting these stories every lit
tie while now especially after the foot
ball season winds up.
About the middle of November there
will be positive Information that the two
leagues will be merged into twelve-club
circuit This Will be followed early in
December by alliance of the National
League with the minors to crush the
American. Ban Johnson. and Comiskey
will have several rows before the climax,
in which Comiskey will head q conspiracy
to dethrone the league president. This
one can be counted absolutely. 1t never
fails.
A new major league is organized never
later than the middle of January. These.
with few scattering regulars Of
| smaller calber. can always be kept in
pickle" for use at any time, but the
schedule Is usually followed.

BUSINESS TIED UP WITH
GALLAUDET RESERVES

Business High foot ball team showed
big Improvement in it's work in general
yesterday afternoon and gave the Gal
laudet reserves one of It's toughest games
of the season, holding them to tie, 90.
The play on both teams was of the fast
est order, especially that of the mutes,
who every few minutes would make large
gains on trick plays. On several occa-
sions they pulled off trick which netted
them many yards. and twice did they
carry the ball to the high school boys 10
yard line only to be held for downs. after
resorting to straight foot ball. In this
line the Business boys excelled, their line
rushes being their big ground gamer.
Nothing much was doing for either side
IN the first half, and honors were about
evenly split. but in the last go the mutes
took on a brace and made Business hus-
tie to keep them off their territory or
from making touchdown. Lineup and

crime was on the decrease when human
life was more and more respected, or the
repression Of penal offenses was assured
and vigorous. Everybody knows that
such lie not the case. For several years
past the guillotine has been used less and
less frequently, whereas, according to Of
fetal statistics, the number Of assassina-
tions and murders is continually on the
increase. The authorities will not or dare
not proclaim the connection of those two
facts. but everybody draws the conclusion
which they fail to do. AS to smaller
crimes 1t is also to be observed that their
is ridiculously insufficient.

That month. however. the bill was
divided between tae old and the new

OF $500, the new at the rate OF $1,000
/ think these figures show how near To

the company did the elegant and made
reduction on the bin mentioned OF the
magnificent sun OF 1884, the bill being
for $3.50.
Now, as It IS not my intention 70
create a wrong impression against the
gas company, 1 will state that I used
