A. B. c. Has Windy City and Mil.

for 1910 Meeting.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis. Sept. 4.-Either
Milwaukee or Chicago will draw the
1910 tournament of the A. e. c., ae-
cording to 4. l.. Langtry. secretary of
the national organization. Detroit was
after the meet. but the gigantic pro-
portions of p1esent.day tournaments
and the great expense incurred in con-
Quoting them forced the city of the
straits out of the running.
Chicago wants the meet and it viii
probably go there unless Milwaukee
puts in a bid said Langtry. Local
bowlers are flirting with h A. i. c.
on this proposition. and If we are able
to get the Auditorium at a reasonable
rate | would not be surprised to see
the Cream City play the host in 1870
Langtry will leave Friday night for
Pittsburg. where he will have complete
charge of the next national congress.
Langtry expects an entry of at least
400 teams. and says that the tourna-
ment will have to run night and day
10 complete it in two weeks. There is
a possibility thai three weeks will be
set aside for the tournament. but thi:
will be done only in case of necessity
as most OF the bowling leaders desire

Frank Chance Declares That His
Team Will Repeat for
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Before leaving
for Pittsburg last night, Frank Chance,
manager OF the Cubs, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
1--WE will win the pennant and the
worlds championship again. [ have
never given up the firm belief that we
will repeat. / am as. confident now
as I was when we began the season.
I'VE more thar evened up this year
for any bad luck we escaped last yea
son.. The team has been severely Grip
pied, but has still kept UP it's gait. The
fact that the Giants finish at home
does not affect the Cubs. We play as
well on the road as at home and can
fight our fight just as bravely and sue
cessfully in New York, Pittsburg and
other league cities as OH our W
grounds.
1--WE have another series with the
Giants in New York. We shall capture
that series, and that will put US ahead.
I'VE have a series with P~ittsburg
ahead of us still, but 1 figure that we
a take that without much trouble, as
the Pirates seem to have shot their
bolt. 81 ..ss,3s,
New York has just as hard a job
ahead as we ~haye-harder. if anything.
L think. Everything points to the Cubs
winning the pennant, barring hard
luck, which we cannot now foresee."

jim BARRY MET
A REAL TARTAR
IN FRED BRADLEY
ChicagOan Pug Was Real Fat and
Apparently Forgot to Train
for Battle.
BY OLD SPORT.

Chicago" Jim Barry is going back
ward instead OF the ether way. He IS
apparently going down the incline OF
pugilism and unless he gets a tucker in
hig pug bib he will 500 find himself
in the discard pack. There was a time
when the name of the Chicagoan
heavyweight had some terror in the
fighting world, but not IN more, after
his showing of last evening. Jim had
a tea party engagement with a fellow
by the name of Fred Bradley, whose
home place attached to his name is
none other than cultured Boston. the
place made famous years ago because
the first real tea party ever held in
America was pulled off there n eve
ming. Bradley had never illuminated
the pugilistic dome much, and when
Alex McMurray and his eliminates
tackled this pair together for a go the
Princess a. C. management was looked
upon as school children in the art of
making a match.
1t was Bradley's death knell, accord
ing to the w~eisenheimers, for amy II
to put him against Barry. But the old
story of not knowing everything every
time was shown again. Bradley just
turned around and gave Barry a clever
singing, and hence the Princess \. G..
management gets credit for digging up
new aspirants for ring honors. But, and
here is the loophole for any of Barry's
admirers who may scan this. Barry
was porpolian fat. If he trained for
this battle he must have done 1t at the
Waldorf or some other filing up insti-
tuition of the kind. Certainly, il was
plain to be seen, he had not been pat
ronizing any ten-cent eating dumps.
In the first round he went after Bradley
ing down a heat. After that Barry's
gas balloon sprang a leak and it was
Mr.. Bradley from Boston all the way
through for the remaining five f%urlonss.

TENDER II. or two days later than THE

Girt to this city. This Cross lad is being
pushed for battles these days because
his brother. Sam Wallach, sees a chance
for his charge to fatten his bank ac-
count. Sometimes wisdom in making
fights is better in the long M for some
fighter than bank rolls, because when
the fighter is given a setback he needs
his roll to keep on his feet. But this
ought to be a fast go, and | see no way
for Cross To put one over on Fitz pro-
viding the latter is physically correct.

NO FINES IMPOSED
ON BASEBALL CLUBS.

CINCINNATI. Sept. 4.-No peanlty
was imposed on the Cleveland, Akron.
Nashville, Columbus, Toledo and Port
land clubs for Irregularities in trans
ferring players. The National Base
ball Commission. in a decision promul-
gated today, excused the offenses be-
cause there was no intent to deceive
the commission. The decision states:
Several weeks ago the commission
promulgated a notice setting aside GER
tain agreements that had been filed by
the Cleveland American League Club.
pertaining to players who had been
sold by that club to Akron, Nashville,
Columbus, Toledo and Portland, be-
cause the transactions were con-
sidered Irregular and not in accord
ance With the rules of the commission.
A further examination of this case
clearly shows that there was no intent
on the part of either of the clubs in
volved to deceive the commission or to
enter into any colrusion to cover up
the players.

both have the same reason. Pittsburg
