OLD SUITS SETTLED
Last of the Notes Given by Farmers to
Wrought Iron Range Go. Settled


Wrought Iron Range Co. Settled
The long litigation which followed
the sale of ranges to farmers in Keno
sha and Racine county years ago, has
been settled, as the last one of the
farmers have paid the notes which were
given in payment for the ranges and
the company has fled bonds to insure
the farmers against any effort to collect
on the notes a second time. There were
more than fifty farmers in the two coun-
ties who purchased the ranges and all
of them gave notes in payment. The
agent OF the company who sold the
ranges is alleged to have absconded
with the funds and the notes and the
company was never able to get hold
of them. Suits were brought against
the farmers, the attorneys for the com
pany alleging that the notes had been
lost or stolen. The farmers bitterly
contested the payment of the amounts
claimed and the cases were tried in the
Circuit Court with decision in favor
of the farmers A new series of suits
had been started when the settlement
was agreed upon.

CAME AT CAMBRIDGE.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 14-All roads led to the Harvard stadium to- day where nearly fifty thousand persons had procured seats to witness the annual football match between Harvard and Dartmouth. Today s game, coming as 1t does week be- fore the YalezHaryard game at New Haven, and being the last of the season in the great amphitheater by the Charles river, was considered the most important home game. of the year, and the throng that poured into Cambridge to-day was as great as any that ever assembled for the greatest of all eastern football events, the HarvardYale games.
 It was difficult to foretell the win ner of to-day's contest. Harvard has shown great prowess this fall and with the exception of Captain Burr, who has been out of the game for more than two weeks on account of injuries, every man is in splendid condition. Dartmouth is also in fight ing trim. Ingersoll one of the half backs being the only person who was seriously incapitated. Hawley, also a halfback, was suffering from an in- jured shoulder, but 1t was decided to allow him to start in to-day's game.

MAY WRECK WORLDS SERIES.
Greed of Players and Ticket Scandals
 Have Hurt Base Ball.

If the base ball players keep on kicking about their share of the re- ceipts of the worlds series and If there are any more scandals over matters connected with the sale of tickets to spectators, as there were this year and last, it is likely the Ma tional base ball commission will abol- ish the games between the American and National league champions or at least recommend to the two leagues that the series be discontinued until the players get,over their ideas about wanting, years salary for working in from four to seven games. These things, the commission says, are hurt ing base ball. Ban Johnson is depressed over the licking the Tigers got in tho recent clash, and Harry Pulliam is sore be- cause Charley Murphy was accused of standing in with the ticket specu- lators and grieved at the attitude of the Cubs. There is internal strife in the Chicago club about the way the melon was split up. One of the dis gruntled men is, Floyd Kroh, the young southpaw, who was purchased late in the season from Johnstown. Kroh had a hard campaign in the Tri-State league and did not want to join the Cubs. He was promised a full share of the coin if he would go against his natural desire for rest and cast his fortunes with the Chance combination.
 When it came to the time for the division of the receipts Kroh got a share, but only small one. Durbin, another Cub, thinks he has been "lemonized' He, like Kroh, expect ed to get his full share of the prize money and was dazed when he re- ceived only the same as Kroh.
 There will be an aftermath to the squeals of Kroh and Durbin in the form of a resolution adopted by the National commission that hereafter the players cannot vote how the money shall be divided and that every man entitled to play in the worlds series and every athlete pos sessed of a contract entitling him to part of the prize money shall set his equal share-no more, no less.

THE PUCILISTS
Matty Baldwin Came Very Near { Getting His Quistus Last
 Last Night.

Jem Driscoll, of England, out pointed Matty Baldwin in their six round bout at the Fairmont A. C. last night. It was the foreigners battle in every round. He was de- cidedly the .cleverest. fast, a good ring general, quick to get away from punch, but he doesn't carry a wallop himself worth mentioning. If Driscoll had the punch there would have been a knockout without a doubt. He tapped his opponent where he liked and as often as he liked, but didn't raise even lump on him.
 Baldwin appeared slow. but then Baldwin's showing does not always run true to form, and perhaps this explains it. There was not the usual large crowd there, which may also be explained by Baldwin's in and out performances. He has never de- nied that he faked with Abe Attell when they met here, and sportsmen generally fight shy of an exhibition where he Is carded to appear.
 Driscolls showing will undoubted- ly get him more matches, as the lit- tie fellows will not fear him now, knowing that he hasn't knockout punch concealed about his person.

Philadelphia, Nov 14.-Al Kubiak and George Gunther fought fast six-roupd draw before the Broad way A c. of this city last evening. Kubiak forced the fighting in the opening round and the fight fans ex- pected him to land an easy victory. He tired noticeably, however, after the third session and the negro boxer from Australia evened up the advantage that his opponent had se- cured over him. Kubiak took con- siderable punishment in the closing chapters but won the crowd by the plucky manner in which he threw up his head and came back for more.

TOM O'ROURKE's OPINION

Australians who have never seen Jack Johnson cannot see how the big negro will have a chance with Tommy Burns in their finish fight at Sydney. They have seen Burns de- feat Bill Squires and other second raters and for that reason they have come to regard him as invin- cible. Johnson, however, is far better man than any of the pugilists Burns has beaten since leaving this country and is sure to put up a hard battle. Tom O'Rourke, one of the best judges of fighters in this coun- try said recently that if Johnson and Burns meet on the level the negro will win either on points or by a knockout, for in his opinion Burns Is not Johnson's equal as a slugger, boxer or ring general O'Rourke saw Burns fight in England and did not think much of his ability. Burns is 9. counterfeit champion" said O'Rourke the other day.

Frank Coteh snd Haeksrsehmidi May Get Together in Near

London, Nov 14.-A number of London newspaper men yesterday at- tended a meeting called by Hacken- schmidt for the purpose of discuss ing the proposed match with Gotch. It was agreed that committee of newspaper men should arrange the details of the encounter, which will probably, take place in March next. meeting, although he was staying at the hotel in which the meeting was held. Later, however, Hacken- schmidt sought out Gotch. The latter held out his hand and Hacken- schmidt took 1t. Both cordially agreed to let bygones be bygones and Gotch intimated his willingness to let the newspaper mems committee settle the details of the match.
 The referee to be chosen this after noon for the Tom Jenkins Yussiff Mahmout match, which is scheduled to take place at Madison Square gar ucu induhS6lNiuS hlSut. ocfOi oi names have been proposed by the managers of the respective giants, among them being Charley White, Tim Hurst, Jim Bagley, Johnny White and John J. O'Brien. Any one of these men will probably be acceptable.
 The Turk Is attracting a great deal of attention among followers of the game who have visited him at his training quarters at Browns gymna- sium, and he is conceded to be one of the best wrestlers ever brought to this country. While Jenkins has not appeared in public in couple of years, he is. nevertheless, owing to his every day routine of work with the West Point cadets, in better shape than he was when he lost the championship to Frank Gotch, and If he defeats Mahmout he will not rest until he gets the present American champion into the ring for another match.
