The fight this year." said Mr.. Scott,
will be in the states OF Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas and Nebraska instead of the
east where former contests have been
determined The reasons for the
change of battle-ground are about as
follows: the Roosevelt administration
is popular in those states where the
people believe thoroughly in the
Roosevelt program; they have not
been satisfied, l take it, with the last
session Of congress; 1t looks, from
their standpoint as if the reaction
aries had rather handled the situation

ball grand stand this season or next.
II he Is drafted by one of the big
leagues, Pa asserts that he will jump
his present contract and become an
outlaw.
This has been communicated to
the magnatcs of the big leagues and

sistent demands to get Pa ais they do
not want to have him leave organ

great and only peerless major domo
of the baseball world and hope to
get his services year after next to
boost their attendances
