this and neither will the National as
sociation, which Is composed of all the
minor leagues, ranging from the two
bodies who want a separate classical
tion to the smallest league in the
game.
In order to get what they want, the
American association and the Eastern
league will have to go out by them
selves and wage war on all organized
baseball. That is where the whole
thing will fade away as far az d real
baseball war is concerned. as the two
organizations have not enough money
to carry out their plans.
1t is claimed that options have been
secured on grounds in Chicago, Pitts

BADGERS DEFEATED
BY Stages ELEVEN

Madison, Wis, Nov. 2s.-Another
western football title for Chicago. In
a seething battle with Wisconsin here
on Camp Randall the maroons won
the decididing game for the cham
pionship honors by the score of is to
~. Perhaps no more desperate game
ever was waged on a western gridiron.
1t was terrific football on both sides,
and probably the close score well
represents Chicago winning margin.
The rnaroons o,itniayed the badgers
in the first half, when all OF Chicago's
scoring was done. but the badgers
were going faster in the second half,
making the only touchdown in the
latter period of play. While the ele-
ment of luck was with Chicago at the
critical times, and assisted In the sec
on touchdown for the maroons, a
tumble giving the ball on Wisconsin's
4-yard line. yet the 10000 spectators,
no matter of what persuasion, thought
Chicago was shade better.

the critical moment, one man to whom
much of the credit for the A to score
is due. "vic'' Kennard is the man
OF the hour to night. His lame and
fame were made all in the short gasp
of breath when he was called into
the game from the substitute bench
to try the desperate chance Of kicking
goal over the writhing, struggling
mass of blue jersey players who had
been driven back inch by inch toward
their goal posts by the pounding at
tack of the crimson players.
At last the tousled heads of the Yale
cohorts were raised alert for surprises
and jaws We're set In grim determine

Kernard Makes Drop Kick.
In his place came Kennard. No time
was lost in preIiminaries, but the first
time the ball was put into play. Ken
nard fell back to the 22-yard line. He
deliberately hoisted the ball for a kick
and the ball went squarely between the
unrights.
There was no fiuke about Harvard's
victory, the drop kick by Kennard
came as the chance of lucky moment

TOMMY BURNS Is A
GREAT MONEY MAKER
IN ONE YEARS TIME He HAS
TRIPLED THE SALARY OF THE
PRESIDENT, GATHERING IN $3.50
600 FROM HIS FIGHTS WITH
OUNCES, LEMONS, ETC.

Tommy Burns will wind up the year
of foreign travel and lighting in Aus
tralia with three times more money
made in that time than was made by
the president of the United States in
salary. 1t is estimated that his twelve
months of effort and travel will net
him more than $4,000.
The latest information about Tommy
and his doings comes from a sea cap
tain commanding a large American
passenger steamer that touched re-
Gently at Sydney, who writes some in
teresting comment on the American
fighter. This is in iersonal letter to
friend here:
Tommy Burns has been making
quite nice pile out in Australia, what
with Squires and Lang, and friends of
mine who saw the Squires fight say
that Burns could easily have knocked
him out in two rounds, but finding
that he had an easy thing on he took
his time, knocked him out little later
and earned a $4,000 note from the cine
matograph company.
Burns is resting up I'm the noun
tains here. He has made a great i'm
preston here with everyone by his
clean and neat habits and appearance
and manners, earning the title of "a
gentleman" which is certainly praise
worthy"
Speaking of a big boxing show he
saw in Melbourne, the captain COM
ments on the Australian mitt artists:
"The boxers were, of course, a long
way behind our boys, and it seemed to
me wanted some good teaching. They
do not break clean away, and rarely
face-don't seem to know in the least
about body and kidney punches"
Burns Holds for Royalty.
So Tommy picked up an extra $4,000
from the moving picture people. And
no doubt he'll get at least $4,000 from
the moving pictures of the Johnson
fight. While Johnson sold his end of
the picture privileges for $500, Burns
wisely held tight to a royalty. Adding
this 1000 to his other ring, stage
picture, and wager earnings for the
year, Tommy Burns will wind the sea-
son up $4,000 to the good-and a
little more If he takes a theatrical en-
gagement or two after the big fight
This makes him easily the financial
king of all boxers. Not even the great
John L. Sullivan, who was, and still is,
a wonderful success at moneymaking,
can class with him. Jeffries never
made as much money as Burns, al
though he was probably the greatest
heavyweight that ever wore gloves.
