Nothing can stop the conquering
Moguls 1t seems. Yesterday they
walked away with connellsyille in
two games, to 3 and 5 to o.
Fletcher had his opponents buff
faloed in the first encounter and
caused ten batsmen to breeze. There
were several times when a hit would
have tied the score. But the big one
was on the job all the time.
The second game was a one-sided
affair. Aside from the great stick
work OF Conoway 1t was devoid Of
features. big Bob" scored three
runs himself and batted in the other
two with his stick. His homer in
the eighth with none on was a
beauty and he could have gone half
way around again.
The game was stopped in the ninth
inning on account of darkness. f.
Dawson and J. Dawson both had
singled and the former had scored
but the score reverted back to the
end of the eighth inning. j

COLLEGE AGAIN WINS
FROM THE ACADEMY
Augustana Boys with Same Re-
suit as in the First,

The college team of Augustana col
lege and the academy team played
their second game Of the year this
morning at the campus and for the
second time the younger players had
to bow in defeat to the older boys.
The final score was I to 0 in favor
of the college. The field was not
quite ideal as it was too slippery but
as the two teams were about evenly
matched neither side had any advan-
tagc from this condition. II was the
ineXperience of the academy players
which was principally responsible for
their defeat. Few of thGm having
played before this year they We're at
loss when i'm possession of the ball
and very rarely succeeded in gaining
any ground On the defense they put
up a strong game, however, and 1T
took all the strength and tricks of the
college team to score their three
touchdowns.
In the first half Rovelstad of the
| college made the first score of the
game on a long end run which re-
suited in a touchdown. He failed to
| kick the goal and the score the first
| half was to o. In the second half
| the college started line bucking tao
tics and soon Beckstrom the fullback
was sent over the line and Rovelstad
kicked the goal, making the score IL
| to 0. A few minutes later the acad
envy attempted a forward pass which
was intercepted by Bloom, the college
quarter back, who ran with it for .
touchdown and the final score was
I17 when Rovelstad again kicked goal

New York, Nov. 14.-Jem Driscoll,
an English featherweight pugilist, made
his first appearance in an American
ring at the Fairmont Athletic club last
night and outpointed "Matty'' Baldwin
of Boston in a siXround bout that was
full of action from start to finish. The
result was never in doubt, as Driscoil
outclassed his opponent, who not only
failed to reach the Englishman, but
also received a most decisive beating
in each round.

Mr.. Sexton says there is a general
misunderstanding as to the real rea.
sen the Eastern league and American
association withdrew from the meet
ing of the minor leagues at Chicago
this week. Two demands were made
by these organizations, enc that the
Western and Southern Lacquer be set
the Eastern and American be given a
majority of the members of the board
| of arbitration. Both were voted down.
/ 1t was obviously unfair 20 the Western
and Southern to reduce them and the
other so minor leagues do not pro-
pose to give up. control CT their own
affairs to the two leading Glass A
| leagues.
| The latter. step was taken in 1903
! and in 1904 the Eastern league and
American association had three of the
five members of the board. So arbi-
trarily did the run things that at the
close of 1904 the other leagues by a
| four-fifth vote increased the board
| from five to seven members, named
| the tNt duulIloudl IutLlDSlS anu lIuS
regained control.
With majority of the board the
two rebelling leagues would be in po-
sition to settle all dispute; with small
Ter leagues over players franchises
and other matters to suit themselves
and would also have power to treat
in their own way with the major
leagues. 1t is not Likely that such
privileges will be granted them. even
Though they go to the limit and be
come outlaws. 1t was left TO the
board of arbitration to deal with the
two refractory leagues.
