Tho Charge Against Him.

Before the magistrate the defendant
was charged with being drunk and in
capable. He was a stranger in the
district, but he was most acutely in
dignant that he should be suffering
the humiliation Of his present position.
1.-THE constable seems very certain
about everything connected with my
case" he sneered, "but there is one
weak point in his evidence. Why
mpresslvely-"does he not call his fell
low officer to corroborate what he
says" His worship turned an inquir-
ing look upon the policeman, who vain
ly endeavored to conceal an expansive
smile behind an ample but for that
purpose oil too small hand. '1There's
only one constable stationed in the
village, SIR" said the officer. "But 1

BASEBALL WAR THREATENED

The American association ranking with
the Eastern League as second only To the
major organizations, threatens to with
draw from the national agreement. That
means that the association would become
a baseball outlaw" the same as IL was
some six years ago when 1t gave the big
leagues a lot OF trouble.
Furthermore, say the American asso-
citation people, they will In the event of
such withdrawal place a team In Chicago
as an entering wedge for a slice of big
league patronage. Johnson, OF course, is
not responsible for this, but IL Comiskey
should succeed in routing the fat boss it
is almost certain that he would not be
long idle. Johnson is director OF revolu-
tions-a better fighting general than
peace delegate.
A certain faction IN the American
league is in sympathy with the American
association. Joe Cantillion, manager Of
the Washington club, owns the Mime
apolls club OF the American association
and has other minor league interests. His
brother. Mike Cantillion, president Of the
Minneapolis club is the man who has
voiced the associations protest.
I'VE are under protection now which
doesn't protect. said Cantilion. with
the present conditions II is absolutely inn
possible for club in our league to know
where IL stands in regard to the makeup
of team until the major league mag
mates are ready to hand up their discard
players. / for one think we would be
lot better off II we cut away from this ma
tional agreement and went out and hus-
tied for ourselves. Then we could get to-
gether some ball clubs Independent OF the
other leagues and other owners.
Half the players In our league and in
the Eastern league, are really owned by
major league clubs, and nobody knows
when the string viii be pulled and a
team broken up by the recall OF those
players. Men are farmed out to our clubs
and Immediately want the same salaries
in minor league that they received in the
big leagues. IL Is impossible to meet those
demands. of course, and when we are
compelled to reduce their pay to minor
league proportions the men naturally be-
come dissatisfied and very often don't
give the teams their best efforts.
Then again, the patrons in the Ameri-
can association cities don't like the idea
OF getting discarded players all the time.
Belonging to the National Association
of Minor League clubs doesn't do us any
good, for we have one vote in thirty
seven. A class d league has Just as much
power as the American association when
IL comes time to vote on important af-
fairs, and there is no chance to correct
the present evils. The association is fool
ish II II doesn't pull out, and 1 fully ex-
pect II will be run next season independ-
ent OF the national agreement"

BRUNON|ANS PRAISED
BY QUAKERS

Now that the Brown eleven have ar
rived home with the exception OF Capt.
Pryor and couple OF players. the usual
comment on the game played Saturday Is
heard, and Manager Burnham OF the
Brown team says:
Brown always has bad luck at Phila-
delphia Fortune seems TO be with the
Pennsy men and the home team generally
loses the game on fiuke of some kind.
Saturday Mayhew's tumble started the
trouble for Brown and the second tumble
by Dennie put the team still further in
the hole.
"The Brown team played great game.
but Pennsylvania put up little better
one. think Pennsy will be the strongest
team in the East this fall"
one OF the Philadelphia papers speak
ing OF the game awarded high praise TO
the Brown boys. Penn scored touch
down I'm each half and the game was one
OF the fastest seen here for some time. IL
was so fast that Billy Edwards, the UNI
pire, remarked that II was the very fast
est game at which he officiated. 1t leaked
out today that Brown came fully eX-
pecting 10 win the game.
Their team was in grand condition and
they put up magnificent battle until the
last. The work OF the back field was sur
prising to Penn, and the Red and Blue
had great difficulty In penetrating, the
Brown line for consistent gains.
Brown played at a clip that was some
thing OF n surprise. They played faster
than did Penn, which made up for their
lack in weight. Their splendid physical
condition enabled them TO maintain the
pace until the very end Of the game. on
the defence they tackled desperately and
surely; on the offence they were very fast
and divided the point OF attack so fast
that Penn was kept guessing However.
later In the game Penn solved the play
better and It was more difficult for the
visitors 10 gain. Their interference was
beautifully formed and both Scarlet and
Miller were given their own troubles I'm
keeping from being boxed. It was seldom
they escaped. The man with the ball
would run for end, and upon hitting the
line would pass the ball 10 man back
OF him, who would dash through tackle.
All this was accomplished at great speed
and with n wonderful precision. Brown
was surely master OF the play.
Brown used a wing shift that often
gained ground because Penn was afraid
OF the forward pass being worked on that
formation. II was considered better policy
TO let the runner gain what he could on
che play than to run chances OF one OF
the feet backs, such as Mayhem. getting
a start. Had he been able TO do so there
would have been little chance of stopping
him. Mayhem showed remarkable speed
and followed his flying interference like
a hawk.

PENN MEN IN
GOOD CONDITION

Philadelphia, Oct. 2i.-The coaches and
players OF the University of Pennsylva-
nit football team were well pleased with
the success of Saturdays game with the
Providence team. The players came
through the game well. with comparative
ly few injuries for such a hard contest.
This speaks well for Trainer Murphy's
system In keeping his men in good physl-
cal trlm for scarcely a week ago the
players were put through a severe game
with Swarthmore, while the Gettysburg
game was but three days before the
Brown contest. To keep the players on
edge for two hard games barely a week
apart Is one OF the hardest feats known
TO those who look after the physical con-
dition OF the players. Yet this is not all
OF Trainer Murphys trouble, for next
week the Red and Blue eleven will meet
the Indians on Franklin Field. IL the
team passes 4ifet game safefy-=cveryone
Will feel as II the crisis was over.
The injuries that were received by the
players were not OF serious nature.
Cept. Bob Folwell. whom the coaches
took from the game In the second half,
was not badly injured. lie was completely
exhausted by the hard work he was
forced TO do In breaking up the shifts
which the Brown eleven used so frequent

ing several bumps around the head and
face, is suffering from n badly bruised
thigh. Although pretty we'll battered up.
he was forced To play the entire game. as
there was not a good substitute TO replace
him. lie will most likely be given rest
today and easy work during the rest OF
the week. Whether this will be wise or
not is hard TO say. for the harder Hollen-
back Is worked the better he plays.
Reagan came through the game with
bad bruise on what was his well leg.
Dwyer has bad hip. while Zeglers stiff
thigh completes the injured list.
Scarlet, Miller, CASTOR and Gallagher
came through without a scratch. while
Draper was also untouched, excepting for
q slight bruise.
