lust at the closing. The actual occur
renee of events anticipated by *pecula-
tive buving is likely to lead to hravF
selling, to take profits. That such selling
was in mode nate volume today might be
partly attributable to the large amount
OF realizing effected during last week.
The con, lusiVe evidence furnished by
Saturdays bank statement of the rapid
progress towards Il condition of practical
redundance of the monoy market was
clearly an event to schedule III the llSt OF
realized hopes. There has been consid-
eranle previous speculation. also, based
on the expectation that the government
authorities would permit q modus ViV.ndi

the judicial ascertainment OF the validity
Of the law recurring the Investment of

TIE confirmation of this expectation Sat

sales by speculative buyers of the coal

affected by such selling.

and he issued a statement in which he
resorts to documentary evidence to
prove that a blacklist was actually
adopted and incidentally treats Powers
to a scoring OF personal nature.
Pulliam sets forth the fact that accord
ing to the national agreement the
National Commission has the power to
reinstate players that have been black
listed or declared ineligible by clubs or
leagues and that in the cases of players
Wiltse. Campbell, Deininger and
Heydon. who have been placed i'll good
standing. the commission did not eX-
coed its authority. With this fact IN
view, Pulliam says, it is up to the
commission to find out whether the
National Association has been acting
in good faith or not and that IS also
the duty of the commission to compel
the minor leagues to accept its recent
ruling with the same good grace that
mared the Willingness OF the New
York National League club to pay the
$1,000 fine due to the New Orleans
club Of the Southern League.
In nutshell it locks as if the
National Association Of Minor Leagues
would have to bow to the commiSslo:-
and provide bcrths for the reinstatcd
players or openly defy the supreme
court of baseball. In the latter event
there would probably be Il quick do
claration of war by the commission,
backed up by the two Dig major
leagues against the minors. That
would mean d loss Of many thousands
of dollars received each year by the
minors for players drafted or pur-
chased by the major leagues, while the
latter would then be at liberty to grab
all the desirable minor league players
for nothing. In a salary battle the
; minors could not hope to compete
! with the majors. 50 the little leagues
would be utA,bIc to induce any of the
big baseball stars to jump their con-
! tracts.
Garry Hermann and Ban Johnson
/ the other members of the Nationa
Commission, are i'll hearty accord wild
| Pulliam's present attitude Inc
minor league men are not i'll theil
usual excellent humor and unless ;
peacemakcr gets busy in the nca'
future there may be an open breach
Incidentally Pulliam says he is aft"'
Burnham's scalp and that he will so t
a finish with III" Newark manager.

the Duke got his bearings, keelcr was
right on top Of me. Bill was the rum
ncr up all the way. The crowd liked
the way we pulled off the unexpected.
OF course. we had the dope right after
Keelcr made the hit. They laid for Us
in every game after that"
Then Dan BroutherS got busy and
told how McGraw saved his team with
the Chicago team and then won out in
the tenth inning.
Il don't know how you got away with
il. but it went through all right. The
score was tied up, when one Of the
Colts came up and hit one against the
fence. 1t looked like a home Wallop
sure.
'McGraw got his wits together and
just as the batter was turning third
base he gave him the shoulder. The
runner went over il 4 heap, and by iii,
time he got UP and started for home he
was nailed at the plate. Pop" Arson
came over to Mctiraw and waved his
big fist at Mac and threatened to mon
him up.
"Auson himself came up next and
McGraw gave him the bump before he
ltdCiItti tiliiu 't'iSt 'l Il ipiif1 Iiit- oclii
got the relay in time to tag Arson
The umpire called Arson out and al
hands roared. Pop could not talk
for some time. In the eighth inning
with the score still n tie and two on the
bases, McCraw came up and made Z
hit which won tie game. II was 3
great thing to pull off and get away
with"
Manager McGraw then told how
much baseball has improved. "In tho
old days" said McGraw, you could
keep on going and probably get three
bases on a single but nowadays one
must be very careful how many he
takes. as he II likely to get pinched by
a throw from the outfield.

JOE THOMAS WILL FIGHT
AS A HEAVYWEIGHT TONIGHT.

New York, Jan. "0.-Joe Thomas will
make his debut as a heavyweight fight
er tonight. when he meets Jack "TWlV
Sullivan in what is scheduled to be r
2O-round bout before the Pacific A. G.
Of Los Angeles. One year ago Thomas
was fighting in the welterWeight ranks,
and he went to the top by defeating
Honey Melody. Thomas was a Weiter
when he first fought Melody. but lie
was growing fast. and when they met
q second time both We're well over the
Welterweight limit.
After being defeated twice by Stan
ley Ketchell, Thomas decided that
making the weight weakened him.
and he went into the m!ddleWelght
class. No sooner had he become recon-
ciled to this division than he found 1t
hard to keep at the weight. and now ne
has settled the whole thing by an
nouncing that henceforth he will battle
as Il heavyweight.
Thomas has u large frame and Is
fast for his size. He is an exception
ally clever boxer. not weakened by re-
ducinG his weight, he has a knockout
punch in either hand, and is always
| dangerous. He can stand a terrible
! beating and has great rccuperativc
| powers
He will meet an old master at the
| game in Sullivan. The Cambridge
| fighter, who has a decision over Tom
my Burns to his credit is Il most dan
| gerous man in the ring. He is also d
| hard puncher, though he has not
shown that he possesses a zone punch
| knockout.
| His wins over Bill Squres and Jack
| Palmer gained him much prestige,
| though they We're not his best fights.
| Experts pick Sullivan to win the bout
| with Thomas. though the latter has
| many admirers who believe he will
| show his old time form at the in
creased weight. If he does, he will have
| more than chance to win

Gently come to this country.
Curren, in his challenge, said he was
anxious to run Kanaly any distance
from 1000 yards up to one mile for
from $500 to $1,000 a side, stipulating
however. that the race should take
place on an outdoor track, and that
he should be allowed 10 weeks N

1000 yards for the distance If Currer
means business we will have no trouble
over the date. About June Is would be

the race are minor matters, and as

Result Of Victory Indicates Undi

Raymond, the Washington CORE
spondent of the Chicago Tribune, VIII
Is regarded as one Of he most reliable
political writer's In the country, regardl
tho result Of the Vermont election al
preSaging absolute victory for Mr.. Taft
In q recent special dispatch to thu
Tribune Raymond said:
Practically speaking, the result o.
Tuesdays election 10 more favorable tt
the Republicans than they had any
right to expect, because there has beer
no determined campaign for the purpose
Of making good showing In Vermont
and few Of the big guns Of the party
have been put on the stump there this
year.
There is, Of course, slight falling
OF in the vote Of both Republicans and
Democrats, az compared with four
years ago, but this was entirely to be
expected, because at that time Roose-
welt was the nominee Of his party for
president, and the result In Vermont In
that year was merely a forerunner Of
the tremendous landslide which took
place nj! over the country.
"As 1t is, the plurality Of over $4,000
at yesterdays election IL taken to be
an indication that, while the campaign
this year is not to be a sensational one,
the election Of Mr.. Taft ls foreshadowed
by safe majority.
IF Vermont can be taken as an In
dex Of the condition of public opinion
throughout the country, 1t means that
In the November election, whatever
strength the Independence League de-
velOps In the other States will come
almost exclusively from Bryan and not
from Taft.
1.-THE Vermont Democrats, while few
IN number, are extremely rockribbed in
their sentiments. They make point Of
going to the polls year after year and
carry on 4 hopeless fight merely be-
cause they want to set good example
to the Democrats IN other States. In
1893 they repudiated Bryan and the free
silver hSrssy, and they did It largely
BY staying at home on election day.
iThs result was plurality Of little
over. 10000 for Mckinley, which has
