MAY RESULT IN
OUTLAW WAR

The Withdrawal of representa-
tives of the Eastern and American
association leagues from the meet
ing of the national association in
Chicago is taken to indicate that
eastern magnates may be forced
to fight outlaw baseball unless
they accede to demands. The
Withdrawing representatives offer
ed a resolution that the Southern
league be reduced from class A to
class B, and that they be given
control of the board of arbitration.
This last move was opposed by
all the smaller organizations. AL
though it was denied that outlawry
is contemplated, the fact that the
seceders tried to induce the Coast
league representatives to join
them would seem to indicate out
law intentions The Coast league
was successful outlaw organiza.
ton for long time. The boiling
will hold meet
ing of their own in New York De-
cember 4.

TWO GREAT PUG
ATTRACTIONS DUE

Pugilistically inclined persons
have two great fights to occupy
their attention the next few weeks.
At San Francisco ON Thanksgiv-
ing day Stanley eKtchel and Billy
Papke meet for the third time.
Ketchel outfought Papke in 10
round battle in Milwaukee, then
Papke administered a decisive de-
feat to Ketchel in Los Angeles.
Now comes the rubber. Both boys
have heavy backing.
Tommy Burns, white champion
heavyweight, and Jack Johnson,
colored aspirant, meet in Sydney,
Australia, December 1. If Tommy
wins, or secures a draw, he will
tour the United States in a theatri-
cal engagement. If he loses, of
course he won't take the trip. But
he says he won't lose and is figur-
ing how long he can make his
81 900 a week last.
Almost as great interest centers
in the Los Angeles battle as in the
Burns-JOhnson personal affair.
Papke is so confident of winning
he has agreed to meet Hugo Kelly
80 days after his Ketchel encoun-
ter. Papke has turned down sew
eral theatrical offers but if he wins
this time may accept one.

which washed over the decks of
boats plying between here and
Cairo on the Mississippi river so
terrorized river men on all crafts
that boats steered into the banks,
while natives on both sides of the
river were equally frightened.
The cause of the trouble was an
immense landslide near Wickliffe,
KY, in which several lives were
reported lost. People for miles
around believed it was an earth
quake, so great were the vibrations
The Mississippi river has been

sides between here and Cairo for

TANGLEl'
AMAZES NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Gotham
has not yet recovered from It's
amazement over the remarkable
matrimonial entanglements con-
fessed to last week by Mrs. David
Seidel of 1856 Grant street, Brook.
lyn, and already partly exploited in
the daily dispatches.
Among some of the things which
Mrs. Seidel did and admits doing
are these:
Married to George Longeill ST.,
knowing he had two wives living.
Married to George Longeill Jr.,
her husbands son by a previous
marriage, without being divorced.
Allowed George Longeill Jr.,
while he was still her husband, to
marry her daughter Ada, who was
his own half sister and daughter of
his own father.
Married without divorcing
George Longeill Jr.. to David Sci
del, her present husband.

WH|TESNUbbEO
TAFT ONCE

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Unless
Taft's prediction prejudices have
been changed, his Inauguration
may mark a departure from the
diplomatic corps of Henry White,
ambassador to France.
1t is the gossip of the diplomatic
clubs in London and on the con-
tinent that Mr.. Taft once informed
friend that if ever he should be
elected president it would please
him to dispense with Ambassador
Whites services as a diplomat.
The cause of Mr.. Taft's personal
dislike of White is reported to be
that White, years ago, before Mr..
Taft ever dreamed of becoming
president, snubbed Mr.. Taft when
the latter was visiting London with
his wife. to
Among Mr.. Taft's first calls was
one to the American embassy.
where he met White, then its first
secretary. White never returned
that call, and it is reported that
Mr.. Taft felt the slight keenly, and
often referred to it.
Now he may be human enough to
want to see somebody else in
Whites ambassadorial position. AS
White possesses a powerful polit-
ical pull through Senators Lodge
and Depew and the Vanderbilt fam
lily, Mr. Taft may be induced to for
get and forgive the slight put upon
him by the aristocratic American
diplomat.

owns a farm in the town of Colburn
