CLOUDS LIFTING IN ALABAMA AND
 AUBURN TROUBLE

The chances are that Alabama and Au- burn will meet this season. It was learned last night that the alumni committee of the two colleges appointed some time ago to bring the two teams together submitted a proposition to Tom Bragg, Auburn's manager, yesterday, which he will ac- cept in all probability.
 His answer Is expected this morning. That which has kept the two colleges apart this season has been the matter of officials. Alabama, as is known, agreed to leave this detail, along with all others, to the committee.
 Auburn wanted the committee to ap- point committee of coaches of other col leges, which latter committee would se- lect the officials. The proposition sent to Bragg last night was that out of six names agreeable to Auburn, to be fur nished by Bragg, the alumni committee would select two.
 gusta for the 1909 championship. This club has one of the most beautiful courses in the south. Barring its sand greens 1t Is all that any player could desire. If the event was held reasonably early the golfers could have the big Bon Air hotel practically to themselves. There are ob- jections to the Augusta club but appar- entity not so many as to other clubs, and it is among the possibilities that the event may go there next year. Augusta is willing and apparently no other available club in the south is in the same boat.
 Beginning about next year, it appears that the southern championship will be handed around among a half dozen clubs Atlanta, Memphis, NashN file, Louisville and a couple of others. These cities will be about the only ones which will be in a position to handle the great event reg ularly.
 While the golfers are puzzling over the location of the championship the tennis players are wondering about the doubles championship event next yerr. Since the event was inaugurated 1t has been played for after the manner of most tennis events, with a challenge round and the champions staying out to the finals. 1t now becomes evident that for the south ern champions to be eligible in the na- tional doubles event they must play through the entire tournament, instead of taking part in the challenge round only.
 Presumably the challenge round will be done away with at the next annual cham pionship.

Ground Rules Necessary.

Two hours before the ticket windows opened at Il a m., the crowd began to gather, By l o'clock the stands which surround the field were filled, standing rooms in the aisles was at premium, and a deep fringe of spectators occupied the greensward in left center and right field At this hour Chicago began batting prac- tice. Pittsburg at ]: :35 came on the field in body, bursting through the black banks of spectators like a gray cloud amid the impartial cheers of large sec ton of the stands. By 2 o'clock, when Pittsburg began batting practice, the crowd outside the stands completely sur- rounded the field, but still the densely packed streams of people pressed upon each others heels through the various en- frances and spread out into the field. Eff teen minutes before the time set for be- ginning the game the gates were closed and the crowd had so far encroached on the field that any ordinary fly ball would have fallen safe. When play was called, however, order had been restored, and 1t was agreed that hit into the crowd should go for only two bases.

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.
Games Today.
Boston in New York.
 Brooklyn in Philadelphia.

Chicago, October 4-Pittsburg was today eliminated from the National league pen nant race when Chicago scored to victory before a crowd which was de- clared to be the largest which ever paid to see a game of baseball in the world. Today's game was the final one of the season for Chicago and Pittsburg, while New York has three more to play, all with Boston If one of these games is not played by reason of the weather, or for other cause, or if Boston wins one, the pennant will go to Chicago for the third successive year. By winning all three games New York will exactly equal Chi cago's percentage of SAL Tonight Chi cago leads the league with .641; Pttsburg Is second with 636, and New York, who did not play today. is third with .6SS
 The story of the victory is a simple one. Chicago garnered 12 hits off Willis and Camnitz. while Brown allowed Pittsburg but seven. The contest was cleanly waged throughout. The umpire's decision were questioned only once.
 The Greatest Attendance.
 President Murphy of the Chicago club announced the paid attendance at S0,24I. This, Mr Murphy said, was the largest attendance ever present at a game of baseball in the United States, and pre- sumably in the world.
 At the conclusion of the game MT. Mur- phy and MT. Dreyfus of the Pittsburg club gathered with others in MT. Mur- phys office. MT. Dreyfus, whose team had just lost the pennant was smiling cheerfully and proposing that in the \ event of a tie between New York and Chicago the series of three games be played off at Pittsburg. You are a better loser than amp said the Chicago presi- dent, you are the best loser in the league"
 wen play the string out" he con- tinued. However. am by no means cer- tain that Boston won't get one of those games"
 The constitution of the National league provides that a series of three games shall be played to decide a tie for the pennant, but leaves the matter of where it shall be played for the board of di- rectors to decide The board will meet at Cincinnati tomorrow to take action on the game in dispute between New York and Chicago, mad which President Pulliam has declared to be a tie. It is said the board may settle on place for the de- ciding series to be played in the event of New York winning the remaining games

ELLIS COUNTY FOR WILLIAMS
Indications are that Cumby Man will
Win Over Campbell.

Unless the sentiment of the voters
of Ellis county undergoes a change
between now and election day the
chances are that the county will give
Hon. 7, X. Williams Of Cumby a ma
jori'y over Governor Campbell for
the gubernatorial nomination Fore
casting election results is a rather
hazardous thing, but. the indications
on the eve of the election point to
the success of Mr.. Williams in Ellis
county His friends here express the
belief that he will carry the county
by a good sized majority. In some
of the smaller voting boxes of the
county Williams will receive big
majority over Campbell. From what
can be ascertained concerning the
situation locally Campbells strong
est support is at Milford and Ferris.
He will carry these places. Waxaha-
chic and Ennis, the two largest vot-
ing boxes in the county, will probab-
ly line up in the Williams column.
That's the way 1t looks to the man

HERD Of CATTLE
DRIVEN AWAY
Three Hundred Head Are Taken
From Ranches in Lower
Rio Grand Country.
DRIVEN, ACROSS BORDER
Supposed That the Thieves Hurried
the Cattle to Mexico-Ranqers
and Rurales Have Gone
in Pursuit.

Kingsville, Texas, July 22.-One
OF the boldest cattle thefts that has
been perpetrated in the lower Rio
Grande country since the days of
Cotinas, the noted Mexican bandit
was committed Saturday night in the
neighborhood of Samfordyce, the
terminus of the western branch of
the st. Louis, Brownsville and Mexi-
co railroad Some 800 head of cattle
belonging to Ramon Vela and other
ranchmen in that section were driven
off and it is believed were safely in
Mexico before they were missed.
officers started in pursuit Mon
day morning, but it is not believed
the thieves were apprehended, as
rangers were ordered to the scene
yesterday morning 1t Is the opinion
of those whose cattle were stolen
that it was the work of an old gang
of cattle thieves who once operated
in this section and that the gang

tions 1t is rumored that Hon. James
B. Wells, who owns ranch in tha
| locality, was a sufferer by the theft
but, the rumor could not be &C affirm
ed.
The cattle were stolen some tim
! Saturday night, and as it was only
short distance to the river, but littl
time was required to cross then
over.
AS this is the first wholesale theft
of cattle that has occurred in the
lower Rio Grande country in many
years, the people residing in that
section are naturally very much ex-
cited. A rumor was current Monday
night that the Mexican rurales were
close on the track of the thieves and
that fight was imminent, but this
rumor failed of confirmation this
morning after the rangers had reach
ed the border.
