SHORT SPORTING ITEMS.

The National baseball commission has
laws.
With change of ownership of the
Spokane league baseball franchise a.
change in the spirit of the ownership is
also expected.
With two athletic clubs in Spokane
it looks as though the followers of ath-
letics should be treated to some fine
competition in the way of dual meets.
Christie Mathewson, premier twirler
of the New York Giants pitching staff,
is the leading twirler in the National
league by one point.
If the northwest inter-club meets are
run off smoothly as the managers got
together on the dates, the meets this
year should be great success.
The consistency of all the northwest
coaches in sending out their bear sto-
ries may mean that they are all ex-
pecting to spring their real strength
about the same time.
After an absence of four years from
the ring, Kid Mccoy reappeared in New

NEAR EAST TALKS PEACE.
War Clouds Over Bulgaria, Servia anG
Turkey Are Thinning.

London, Oct. 19.-The cloud which
lowered over the near eastern situation
Saturday has been dispersed, leaving a
more hopeful prospect for the preserva-
tion of peace. Official deniaIs of the
mobilization rumors from both Turkey
and Bulgaria are held to indicate the
success of the diplomatic efforts of the
western powers in Constantinople and
Sofia toward settlement of a difficult
problem and, although it becomes more
clear daily that the agreement entered
into by Sir Edward Grey, British for
eign secretary, and NJ. Iswolsky, Rus
sian foreign minister, concerning the
proposed conference of the powers, i:
not acceptable to Austria or Turkey
and that prolonged and delicate negotia
tions must precede the assembling OF
the conference, the belief in the best
informed quarters still is that peae,
will be unbroken.

KATE ELK1Ns WILL BE PRINCESS
italian Paper Says King Has Consented
to Abruzzi Union,


Rome, Oct. 20.-The GiOrnale d Italia
declares the king has formally consent
ed to the marriage of the duke of
Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins and
that Miss Elkins is now practically an
Italian princess, as it has been decided
she shall enjoy royal rank and priv;
leges before the wedding. Heretofore
the Italian press has never explicitly
stated the king sanctioned the marriage.
Hence an official denial is not expected
and the marriage is regarded as certain.
The Italian court has already initi-
ated the formalities of marriage. The
duke will shortly go to Havre or Cher
bourg, whence he will sail for America.
In consequence of these developments
ex-Queen Marguerite has postponed her
proposed visit to London which is con-
