sexton mead. Tbree-I League.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12,-M. II. Sexton Of Rock
Island, Ill, was elected president Of the
Three-I Base Ball league at a meeting here
today. James Hayes of Davenport, Ia, was
reelected secretary,
Efforts on the part Of Mr.. Sexton to have
the salary of the president arranged at
$500 and 800 for expenses, a fight over
which question caused a p-ostponement Of
the meeting Saturday until today, were
futile, the directors voting to make no
change in the salary of that office. The
present salary is $500 and 300 for expenses.
A maximum monthly salary Of $500 for any
club was also fixed by the directors. II
was also decided that no contract for more

be approved by the president; that thirteen
men shall be the maximum number Of play
ers for any one club after June l, 1903, and
that after that date no players shall be

"AVENGER" JONES in JAIL
Man who Tried to shoot Guiteau
XIII Former Marine with
shotgun.

WASHINGTON, Oct. i2-Noted for havs
ing attempted to avenge the death Of
President Garfield by shooting at Guiteau,
the assassin, w. NJ. Jones, locally known
as Bill Jones the avenger, a farmer, to-
night shot and killed John A. Mcpherson
OF Detroit, Mich, at Bates farm near
Brookland, on the outskirts OF this city.
The weapon used was a shotgun and Nc
Pherson's breast was riddled with buckshot.
An unloaded rifle was found lying beside
the body. The shotgun was found on the
porch of Jones house. Jones was arrested
shortly after the killing and brought to
this city and lodged in jail.
Mrs. Jones, who Is said to have been an
eye witness to the killing, has not been
found. Jones admitted to Coroner hewitt
that he shot Mcpherson, but claims he
acted in self defense. The police have
learned, It is said, that the two men had
quarreled over the possession OF a horse.
Mcpherson, who was 20 years old. had
been working on the Jones farm since he
was discharged from the United States
Marine corps on Tune "a, last.
Several days following upon President
Garfield's death, Guiteau was taken to
court for a preliminary hearing and It was
while he was being returned to jail under
charge Of District Marshal Corkhill that
Jones attempted TO shoot him. Jones was
riding a spirited horse. He followed the
prison van from the court house to within
several blocks OF the jail, when he suddenly
spurred his horse, darted through the
crowd, drew a revolver and fired into the
van. Guiteau, who was sitting near the
door, caught a glimpse Of Jones as he drew
the weapon and lodged. The bullet sped
over his head and lodged in the side of the
wagon. Jones, believing ne had killed Gull
teau dug the spurs into his horses side and
escaped arrest at that time. He was cap
tured shortly afterward near Fredericks-
burg, Va. Jones was tried and acquitted.
BY those who remember him at that time
he is described as a daredevil sort of a
man and constantly doing things that drew
him into public notice. Jones in later years
has been regarded by his neighbors as a
good, law-abiding citizen, and the police
records fail to disclose anything against
him.

Tyrus Cobb. idol OF the Detroit enthusi-
asts. whose playing was a great disappoint-
ment a year ago, came into his own. He
batted like the natural hitter he is and ran
bases like a flash. His batting average
for the day was 800. Out of five times up
he hit safely four times. His singing sin

with the first run Of the game. In the
fourth, he reaches first base on a fielder's
choice, but in the sixth he beat out his
slow grounder, scoring Mcintyre. In the
eighth, his sprinting ability enabled him to
make a double on a hit, which, with a less
speedy man, would have been good for only
one base. In the next inning he singled
and he not only stole second, but also
pilfered third by a narrow margin. He had
no opportunities in the field, to the great
regret of his admirers in the stand. Others,
whose work contributed materially to the
victory were O'Leary, Crawford and Ross

though Rossman and O'Leary were both
charged with errors.
MuIIIn Does Fine Work.
To Mullin, however, the greatest credit
was awarded. Even in the fourth inning
when all three OF Chicago's runs were
scored, he never faltered. His nerve re-
mained and his control was excellent. The
only base on balls which he allowed was
turned into a run by Chicago.

.CORNHUSEERS TO BRACE Up
Showing Of Nebraska in Game with
Grinnell is Disappointing.
OF FORM EXPECTED
Coaches win STIR ThinEs Up This
Week and Get squad hack
Into Last Years Con-
dittou.

LINCOLN, oct. i2-(special)-A deeper
gloom has settled over tho CornhuSkers
than pervaded It before the game with
Grinnell Saturday. The showing of the Ne
braska team In that game was the greatest
kind OF a disappointment to the local
rooters. Instead of Outplaying the light men
from Iowa the tables we're turned and tho
Cornhuskers were worsted In nearly every
department of the game,
The greatest weakness exhibited by the
Nebraska men was on the defense. The
heavy line which had been supposed strons
enough to hold any team that the Corn
huskers will meet this season vas pene-
trated by Grinnelrs fast backs for gain
after gain. Center and the two. tackles
gave way like paper to the o~nslaughts OF
the visitors. most OF the gains being made
through these places.
Frequent fumbling on the part of Grin
nell was the only thing that kept them
from getting one or more touchdowns.
Twice in the first half, after they had
made their first touchdown, they again
tugged the ball down TO a dangerous prox-
unity Of the Nebraska goal, but unfor-
~tunately for them the ball was fumbled
and Nebraska saved It's goal by getting
the ball back to the center OF the field on
punts.
Hope Not Abandoned.
1t was the fumblins by Grfnnell. too,
which gave the ~Cornhuskers the chances
for two Of their touchdowns and helped
them win the game. The first touchdown
for Nebraska came after the visitors had
failed to get the ball on an onside kick on
their thirty-yard line. The second was
made as a result OF the failure Of Grinuell
to hold on to a forward pass.
There is still soma hope among the Me-
braska rooters of a victory over Minnesota.
Even though tho team played an extremely
poor game against Grinnell, It is believe ed
that there will be a change in the form of
the men before the Gophers are met Satur-
day. There is no good reason why the Ne
braska line should not be able to hold the
Minnesota huskies. 1t Is composed OF prac-
tically the same men as It was last season,
when It prevented the Gophets from get
ting a touchdown, and when Nebraska
really outplayed their opponents In every
line but drop kicking.

Iowa Hopes to win All,

IOWA CITY, Ia, oct. 12.-(Special)-To
WIN every game on the schedule is the
hope of the Iowa. student body since the
immense score of 80 to D piled up Saturday
against the Coe eleven on Iowa field. One
of the biggest obstacles is Missouri, the
team which Iowa plays at Columbia next
Saturday.
O~verconfidence, the germ which has
brought many a defeat, is the object to be
destroyed by the Hawkeye coaches this
week. Already the players have been given
to understand that they face a hard propo-
sition In meeting the veteran Missouri team
at m Coach Monilaw's ambition
is to even up the p to 6 score of last year,
when the undeveloped Tiger eleven was
thoroughly trounce in Iowa City.
Iowa came through the Coe game In fair
shape. Captain Kirk, whose kicking and
line plunging was a feature of the game,
had a badly wrenched kn.e, but it failed
to swell seriously, and Trainer Tommy
O'Brien predicts that the great Hawkeye
captain can scrimmage tomorrow. Hast
ings, one Of the mainstays of the line, was
out Of the game with a bad knee, bu< daily
'bakings' are expected to put him into
shape for next Saturday.

today here with a game between South
Dakota Wesleyan and Redfield colleges,
but 1t proved a w~alkaway for the local

downs on forward passes. while Hardy

Sheeks OF the high school '7 team caught

DRAKE AND GRINNELL TO PLAY
This VIII BE Fastest Exhibition Des
MOines win See.


DIES Ia, Oct. 12.-(Special.)-
The fastest foot ball that Des Moines will
see will be the Drake-Grinnell game to be
played on the Drake stadium here October
"a. This year the state university and the
agricultural college at Ames do not meet
because of a little u"npleasantness between
the two state institutions last season.
Either of these institutions Is stronger than
any other team in the state Therefore the
big game, the game that will be most
evenly matched in all the state of Iowa
this year between Iowa teams will be that
between Drake and Grinneil on the
grounds here.
In years gone by the Drake rinnell
game has occupied the front place in i'm
portance and interest. For a time 1t took
a back seat. This year 1t is to the fore
Grinnell team is a hummer" The re-
ports of the strength of the team are
claimed to be exaggerated by Grinnell boys,
but while many of the men on the regular
team are new and unknown the fact that
they have displaced old men OF known abil-
iy lends color to the belief that they are
a strong aggregation.
about the 'hoodoo' that ever hangs over
the Drake team when II meets Grinnell
II is claimed that the Drake team many
times has gone down to defeat before Grin
nell though possessing a much better team.
This ''hoodoo" Is something that has both
cred the team on. many occasions with Grin
ryell, but not with any other team. Drake
men are hoping this year that its spell
will be broker and are determined to win.
The Importance of the game is not in
the making of the championship so much
as in the evenness of the teams and the
desperation with which each Will fight for
the victory of that game.

CHICAGO, September 3.-Judge Max
well of the municipal court granted judg-
ment Yesterday in favor Of Anna 8. Taft,
wife of Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati.
brother of the republican nominee for the
presidency, for possession of the building
at 1876 Madison street occupied by the
A. C. Arson Company as a billiard hall.
The defendant company is alleged to
be more than year in arrears In pay
ment for rent for the premises. The
business relationship between Mrs. Taft
and Arson have to do with the base ball
history Of Chicago.
Arson formerly owned thirty shares
of the stock of the Chicago National
League base ball club. Of which he was
formerly manager. An agreement was
entered into between Charles p. Taft and
Arson whereby the latter was given pos
session of the Madison street building.
To secure Taft against loss In event of
the billiard hall venture of Arson not
proving a success, Arson transferred to
Taft the shares in the base ball club,
planning, 1t is said. to redeem them.
This he is alleged never t. have done.
and ii was through his failure to do so
that Charles w. Murphy. an employee of
Taft. was sent to Chicago to assume the
management Of the Chicago National
League team.
