now the property of some major league
club. Another story that gains ground
from McGraws presence i'm Baltimore
this fall is that McGraw and a syndicate
have purchased the club. The fact that
Wilbert Robinson is a member of the new
board of directors gives color to this
story. With a free rein Jack Dunn. who
is a capable manager. should make the
club a success.
The question now is what will become
of Harry Wolverton. with whom Hanlon

O'BRIEN-KAUEMAN GO.
Club Likely to Get the Big
Bout.

PHILADELPHIA, November 1S.-All
that is necessary to clinch the match
between Big AL Kaufman. the young CAL
ifornia heavyweight and Jack O'Brien is
the signature TO the articles of agreement
Of the great Knockout artist. December
IL has practically been settled upon as
the date of the bout. 1t will be the first
of a series of big contests which are to
be decided in this city.
Kaufman is likely to get the big end of
the percentage, as he is i'm line for heavy
weight honors and feels that there is only
one man between himself and the title.
Jeffries refused point blank to meet the
ter's stock booming.
O'Brien has been training quietly for
the contest and has built his weight up
to IT'S pounds. He Is faster than ever.
and IL is claimed by those who have boxed
with him that he possesses great jolt.
The match between OBrien and Kauf-
man has been hanging fire for the past
two weeks. Each man was ambitious to
box Jim Jeffries for six rounds in this
city. but when Jeffries positively refused
to take on any short bouts at the pres
ent time. Kaufman. IT is claimed. began
making remarks about O'Brien.
The latter knocked Kaufman out a few
years ago. giving Al his first defeat in
his professional career Inat bout was
a tryout to test Kaufman's gameness. and
since that he has fought many battles
and built up string of knockout VIC
tins.
There is said to be considerable bad
feeling between Kaufman and O'Brien,
who declared a few days ago that he
would guarantee to outpoint kaufman in
six rounds or knock him out at longer
distance, or he would not want any of
the receipts Kaufman. on the other
hand ic tn retrieve his lofoat at
Jacks hands.
O'Brien will probably do his training at
King of Prussia. where he trained for
other big matches. while Kaufman. who
has been boxing daily with Joe Thomas

to do the bulk Of his work in this city.

The "whirligig of time" which brings
his revenges," has whirled very quickly
in the case Of the Countess of Granard,
whe before her marriage TO King Ed
wards equerry was Miss Beatrice Mills
of New York.
Only a few weeks ago the Countess
and the Earl of Granard went on n visit
to Ireland, where they Were present at
the Punchestown races. but from which
they abruptly returned to London. the
rum0r gaining currency that the feelings
of the Countess had been hurt by some
thing that had occurred. What the
something was has not been stated, but
there was a flood of gossip in the news
papers, some of the correspondents say
ing that the Countess had been guilty Of
want Of tact in appearing on public
occasion better gowned than Lady Aber-
deem, wife of the viceroy. Not only was
the American girl sharply criticized
for haunting her rich attire in the faces
of the Irish people. but it was affirmed
that she had made herself unpopular by
this indiscretion, and that it would in
yolye the popularity of her husband. ana
possibly lead to refusal of the knights
Of st. Patrick to invest him with the in
sigma of their order.
1T there was any ground for these
rumOrs, the tide has turned. Yesterday
the Countess of Granard shone next
to royalty at the Ascot races, a number
Of wellknown Americans. including Am
bassador and Mrs. Reid, being by invita-
ton admitted TO the royal enclosure. Not
long ago the King himself invested Lord
Granard with the insignia Of the Order
Of st. Patrick, the ceremony taking
place at Buckingham Palace. Now the
fact Is generally understood that Lord
Aberdeen will not much longer continue
in the high office of Niceroy Of Ireland
and that his successor will be either
Lord Beauchamp or Lord Grauard, with
the chances in favor Of the latter.
At that of an Irishman and a Catholic,
Lord Granard's Lieutenancy would Ger
tainy be hailed with pleasure by large
part Of the population Of Ireland, who
also would welcome his American wife.
The fact that her wealth would enable
her and her husband to conduct the en-
tertainments al Dublin Castle on a more
lavish scale than has been possible to
the Aberdeens would tend TO contribute
to the success Of Lord Granard's admin
strati0n.
And the correspond who circulated
the reports Of Lady Granard's over
dressing" at the punchestown races
would hide their diminished heads.

running the government wherein among
ether startling statements the author as
serted that the annual receipts and ex-

writer had evidently never heard of the

that it reminded him of man who lived

1t appears that when Lincoln was Il
candidate for reelection the Republicans
made every effort to get the support of
this man, but in vain. Finally one of
them asked him why it was that he
would not support Lincoln.
