LATEST FIND OF CHANCE.
Floyd Kroh a Left Hand Pitcher Is
Going to Make Good.

Chicago, Sept. 24.--Chance has dis
covered another great left-hand pitch
er, Floyd kroh, who worked against
the Phillies, showed he had the class
to hold a job with a championship
club in the major league. for not only
did he have the left-hand batters on
Murrays lineup guessing. but the
righthanders could do little with him.
When Kroh was announced Murray
took Clement and Courtney out of the
game. because they were lefthand bat
ters, and sent Shean and Magee in,
but neither OF these men could do
anything with his assortment. Not
only did he have great control, but he
showed a world of speed as well as
some benders that kept the Phillies
guessing.

Cleveland in the American Wins
Tenth Straight Game.

New York. Sept. 24.-According 70
the official score of the New York
baseball club, the local Nationals won
Wednesdays game from the cham
pions. at the Polo grounds by a score
Of 2 to /. The game has been pro-
tested by the Chicago club, but Presi-
dent PulIiam denies that he has taken
any action in the matter, as he can
not and will not do so until the case
has been presented to him IN the regu-
lar form.
His official announcement was a de-
nial OF rumor that he had declared
the game a tie. Following is the state
ment;
''The New York stock ticker last
night having carried this statement
Harry PulIiam, president Of the Ma
tional league. decides todav's game be-
tween Chicago and New York a tie,
and announces that it must be played
over say such statement Is unau-
thorfzed. I have made no decision and
Will not until the matter is presented
TO me in regular form"
The cause of the wrangle was this:
Mccormick for New York was on
third base and scored the winning run
on q single by Merkle. The Chicago
players eontended that Merl1le was out
at first base before Mccormick reach
ed the home plate. but Umpire O'Day
ruled that MerkIe was safe at first
and that New York won. Two thous-
and spectators surged in the field
while the argument was in progress
and there was much confusion and
excitement over O'Day's final decision.
He was protected by the police.
Chicago also conteuded that Brid-
well. whose hit brought in what would
Rave been the winning run, did not
follow the bases. but instead ran to the
club house while the run was being
scored after his hit.

Atchison. Sept. 24.-The Globe SAYS:
II Atchison secures a berth in the

have to build a down town baseball
park. 1t is proposed to build a ball
park close in where week day games
will be played. On Sunday and spec
ial days they can be played at the
park 1t is almost impossible to draw
week day crowds at the park.
1t Is said that If Abbott, first base

had his eye on Atchison for several
years. Cooley believes Atchison is a
good baseball town. It is understood
he will try to get a place for his To-
peka team in the Western league,
which is composed of Denver, Omaha,
Lincoln, Sioux City and other towns.
Atchison would then be his Western
association team and he would try to
give the town a winning team.
1t sounds good on paper but will it
come to pass? It is said that Cooley
cleaned up $4,000 on Topeka base

SALINAS THANKSGIVING DATE
Wesleyan's Eleven Has Secured a
Game With Haskell.

Salina. Kan. Sept. 24.-The fact
that Wesleyan has secured c. L. Will
liams as coach has brought it some
propositions for several very strong
games for the coming season. The
most notable, no doubt. will be a game
with the Haskell Indians on Thanks
giving day on the local gridiron. For
years the Thanksgiving game here has
been with the Terrible Swedes" of
Bethany college of Lindsborg, but this
year the managers of that institution
have barred the football game, and IT
was up to Wesleyan to hunt for other
victims. resulting in an ARRANGEMENT
for a game with the Indians. Several
other good games have been secured,
but the exact dates have not been set.
1t is expected the schedule will be
completed by the last of the present
