GIANTS WILL GO SOUTH.
McGraw VIII Take His Players to
Marlin for Spring Training.

New York, Nov. 1z.-John Nc
Graw, manager of the New York
Giants ball team, has returned to
New York He visited in Baltimore
last week, and now is back to stay UNI
til the Giants start for the south in
February. It is likely, McGraw said,
that Marlin, Tex, again will be the
objective point of the Giants though
the matter has not yet been definitely
settled If the Giants should return
to Marlin for their 1909 course of
conditioning, they will be the only
team that has visited that point two
years in succession.
McGraw differs from Napoleon
Lajoie on the theory of not playing
exhibition games with other teams
on spring trips, and of combining the
men to contests between mines made
UP of regulars and Yanigans.
9TH csc interteam games are all
right for a time said McGraw, but
they soon pail on players and don't
arouse in them the fighting spirit that
will be obtained by meeting minor
league or major league opponents. We
will book contests with other teams
on our spring tour, and probably will
do Just as we did last spring-split
the club up into squads. From the
number of players we have under re-
serve 1 Judge we will have teams
Nos 1, 2 and 4, instead Of mere
assortment of three clubs that we
could have placed on the field in

FOR A BUG FARM.
Government Wants to Establish
One at Wichita.
City Is Asked to Lease an Acre
of Its Land.
MIDDLE WEST STATION
Insects That Prey on Farmers
Crops Will Be the Victims.
Institution Will Keep Supply Of
Pest DeStrOyers.
MIDDLE WEST STATION

Wichita. Nov. 12.-The Eagle says:
The government wants to start a bug
farm in Wichita. 1t is to supply bugs
to all the territory between Indiana and
the Rocky mountains and between the
Gulf of Mexico and Canada. All sorts
of bugs that prey upon the field grasses
and crops of the middle west will be
raised On it. The alfalfa bug will be
made a speciality.
The boss entomologist of the United
States government was here a day or
two ago and consulted the Eagle about
preliminarieS. He first of all wanted
information as to where he could lease
an acre of ground for a term of years
close to a street car line and close to
the open country.
This idea came into the head of the
Eagle man and the government repre-
sentative said it was good Why not
the city lease the government an acre
of ground in a corner of Riverside park.
The government will put a nice build
ing on it for offices and experiment
rooms and will float a flag over 1t. On
the acre of ground Uncle Sam will plant
in sections and rows all sorts of grasses
and grains known to the middle west.
They will propagate in these grasses
and grains all kinds of bugs and lice
known to be enemies of the bugs and
lice that give so much trouble to the
farmers of the west from Texas to
North Dakota. Then when the officers
in charge hear of any trouble anywhere
in the territory mentioned they will
gather a million or two of them and
send them to the scene of the trouble
to make war on the disturbers.
This institution will bring to Wichita
a half dozen scientists and their fam
flies who will make this the bug town
of the Mississippi valley.
The question now for consideration is
whether Wichita IS willing to give a
corner of land-onIy one acre-for this
enterprise. 1t will not hurt the park.
The fact is it will give it a sort of
museumistic feature that will add ma
terially to it's attractiveness. 1t will
not only be attractive but it will be
educational.

Burns Says He Will Quit the
Boxing Business.
To Retire From the Ring After
Battle With johnson.
LIVE AT ANTIPODES
Canadian Not to Return to
American Soil.
Thinks Australia Will Suit Him.
self and Wife.

San Francisco Nov. 12.-Tommy
Burns has written to his brother-in-
law, Larry Heating, who lives at Oak
land, to the effect that he intends to
retire from the ring after the battle
with Jack Johnson; Furthermore, that
he does not intend to return to Amer
lea. He says he will make Australia
his home in the future.
Burns also throws cold water on the
statement that there is any so and 40
per cent division of the purse in the
bout with Johnson, and says that John
son is to get 5000 regardless of the
outcome. He also received three round
trip tickets from London and sold out
his share in the moving pictures for
$500.
Burns stated that he is really getting
$50, 900 for his end of the go, but that
talk of a $4,000 purse is ridiculous. He
says the total amount to be put up by
Mcintosh, the promoter of the bout is
$37, 500, and that this is in the hands of
the sporting editor of the Sydney
Referee. OF this amount Burns gets
$50 900, Johnson gets $1,000 and the bal
ance is to be spent for expenses of both
men. Burns is training at a place
known as Koscfusko in the mountains
near Sydney. Mcintosh, the promoter
is with him.
Tommy says that this will be the last
time he ever enters the ring, and that
his wife, who is with him, wants to set
tie in Australia.

NEW MEN FOR THE YANKEES
Manager StaIIings Says Lineup Will
Be Changed in 1909.

New York, Nov. 12.-George T.
Stallings has assumed the manage
ment of the New York American
league baseball club. He returned to
town yesterday and Immediately went
to the Fifth avenue headquarters of
the club and got busy sizing up the
1909 situation. Mr.. Stallings was
found at his desk in the afternoon,
none too busy as yet to sidestep a few
minutes gossip.
IT really have little to say as yet"
said Mr.. StalIings, aside from the
fact that I will do my best to give
New York winner next year. 1
have thought a great deal of the
subject since signing with Mr.. Far
reIl, but am unable to make any an
nouncem ents. We have more than
fifty players from whom to select our
team next year, and some of these are
first class. There are many men on
other clubs whom 1 would like to
have but the same may be said of
every other manager in the league.
Undoubtedly there will be changes
on next years lineup. What they
will be I will announce as soon as I
have definitely decided. Some trades
are in prospect, which, if successfully
put through, should be pleasant sur
prises to the New York fans. Mr..
Farrell will continue his policy of
furnishing unlimited capital for the
collection of a championship aggrega-
ton, and 1 feel it is up to me to de-
liver the goods

WARREN's CASE CONTINUED.
Editor of the Appeal to Reason Not to
Have His Trial Until 1909.

Fort Scott, Kan, Nov. 12.-Before
he left for his home in Girard, Fred
warren editor of the Appeal to Rea-
son, whose case has been dragging
along here in United States court for
months, stated that he had at no time
ever considered the idea of pleading
guilty, though he had been importuned
to do so. He declares that he has had
dozen offers to enter a plea OF
guilty, receive a minimum fine and
with the agreement that the fine is to
be RENTED But this he says he has
steadfastly declined to do. He never
knew until Saturday evening that an
other continuance was to be asked for.
General Boyle, he says, called him over
the long distance phone and stated
that the government was going to ask
for another continuance and inquired
as to what answer should be given.
Mr.. Warren says he first told the gen.
eral that he would demand his case
tried at this term as he had made
every arrangement and that the gov
eminent had dragged affairs along a
sufficient length of time. But the gen.
eral told him that inasmuch as Judge
Pollock could not be here it might not
be the judicious thing to try and insist
upon trial and perhaps antagonize
the court. He then agreed to have the
case go over. His head counsel. Clar-
ence V. Darrow, was at that minute
headed for a railway station In chi
cago starting for Fort Scott. Fortu-
nately he was intercepted by mes
senger and did not leave for this point.
Mr.. Warren's case, 1t is reliably
stated, has cost him $4,000. 1t Will
come up next year. when the next

Car Line Promoter.

Chanute, Kan, Nov. 12.-R. c.
Rawlings was granted a six months
extension of the time in which he is
to begin work in the city of Chanute
upon his electric railroad by the city
council at it's meeting last evening. Mr..
Rawlings was represented by L.
Rosenthal of this city. who laid the
matter before the council.
Mr.. Rosenthal read a letter from Mr..
Rawlings in which the latter expressed
his confidence that he has the backing
which he has been seeking to carry out
his project. He called attention to
the fact that the time in which he is
to begin work within the city of Cha
mute expires December 3, and said that
if it were necessary to hold his fran
chise, he would set men to work here
and lay four or five blocks of track to
comply with the clause requiring a
certain amount of work done in GER
tain time.
Rather than do this, however, which
might not be agreeable to some people
here, Mr.. Rawlings suggested that a
six months extension be granted, feel
ing certain that he would be ready
before that time had elapsed.

siders mine close to Kansas City,

TO HAVE THE LID ON.
An Important Announcement Sent
Out From Sportsmen Park.

ST. Louis, Nov. 12.-Of more inn
portance than the election of officers
for the st. Louis Browns ball club to-
day was the announcement that the
lid" would be on at Sportsman s
park next season. While Chris" Won
der Abe was running the old browns,
beer was peddled in the stands and
drinks consumed freely around the
bar at the park.
After the American league came to
St. Louis both ball parks have
prohibited the peddling of intoxicants
in the stands, although it has been
done to a limited extent. The ball
park bar will now be done away,
President Hedges arguing that the
absence of intoxicants conduces to
better order.
"a baseball park is no place for
bar" Hedges said, " as there is too
much excitement during games.
Women and children there should also
be protected"
