CHARLES P. TAFT IN
ROLE OF ARBITRATOR
Presidents Brother smoothes Out Diff
ferences Between President of Cubs
and Chairman of National
Baseball Commission

CINCINNATI, Oct. 29.-All the diff
ferences and managerial abrasions re-
sulting from the sharp correspondence
between President Charles Murphy &C
the Chicago National league baseball
club and Chairman August Herman
of the National baseball commission
have been smoothed over and healed
by the diplomacy of Charles P. Taft,
who owns a 25 per cent interest in the
Chicago club.
When the dispute between Murphy
and Herman began over the purchase
of Pfeffer of the Toronto club and
Cole of the Bay city club by Murphy
recently became acute Mr. Taft ar
ranged a conference between Murphy
and Herman.
In Mr.. Taft's office today Mr.. Muir
ply and Herman shook hands and
renewed their old friendship. AS a re-
suit of the meeting, however, the $500
fine imposed by the National commits
sion against the Chicago club over the
Pfeffer matter remains intact, and
Murphy must pay $500 for Cole as a
direct purchase, instead of $500 on a
draft.

while a newspaper man took his place.
Jeffries Interferes
So far it had been easy sailing, but
when the question of a referee was
raised the crowd followed the CONVEX
sation expectantly.
Little, for johnson, wanted to name
his choice. For the first time Jeffries
broke in.
Let the club that gets the bid have
word, he ordered. They've as much
at stake as we have. Let it watt
Little was for arguing the point, but
johnson was all Cancellation.
Wen, let it co. he urged. That's
all right"
The number Of rounds was next in
order.

care IL it's for six, ten, twenty or q
hundred rounds; but know what the
public will demand, and am going to
see that they get it-it means finish"
At this the crowd cheered until Bob
Murphy had to demand order. But
johnson was not satisfied.
He Feared a San Francisco club,
where only twenty -FOunQ DOulS are al
lowed, might get the bid, and in that
event insisted twenty rounds should be
specified.

announced rJenries decisively. Make
it forty-hve rounds OF more"
Swallowing his objections, previously
voiced, the negro agreed volubIy.
There was still the rock on which
most agreements spllt-division of the
purse. To the crowds surprise, both
men protested they were willing to
fight winner take all, 60 and 40 per cent,
or rs and 25 per cent, and on the latter
basls 1t was settled.
The side bet caused more difficulty.
JeffIies wanted to wager $20, 600 John
son, more cautious, offered $4,000. Little,
his manager, wanted to lay the money
at 'ringside odds, "as a business propo-

AS a compromise they agreed to let
the $4,000 already posted to secure to-

Notes of the Game

NOhCS VI Ab| N4AiFiN
Captain Dillon protested the game for
Los Angeles on the ground that in the
seventh inning when he walked to the
plate and then sought to place Hughle
Smith back in the game, after Jud had
scored, the Portland pitcher had not
been in his box at any time Dillon
stood at the plate and that Umpire Nc
Greevy therefore had no right to force
him to take his bat.
Beau took another double wrap on his
medal chances when he made three
Singles Yesterday. They were all clean
hits. Johnny is ending the season with
the same sensational hitting he de-
veloped when he first Joined the Angels
For the second time in two days
Dillon entered the game at the critical
point, though this time his services
were not necessary to win the game
1t gave Ort an. awful scare, however
when he saw Dillon at the plate, and
perhaps this is the reason he made
that wild throw to third which en-
abled Jud to score and tie up the
game.
Portland tried mighty hard to do
something in the ninth, but although
Ort reached second his mates could not
hit him along. Tozer walked the first
manaup, but steadied thereafter. ''
The box score shows that the game
was a nip and tuck fair, for both
pitchers walked and struck out the
same number of men, and there were
only two hits more in the Harkness
column than in that of Tozer. But the
locals hit harder and in punches.
For the second time this year John

that it was noticeable even to the

take his base on four wide ones in the
sixth, fearing another hit would score

COLLIE DIED OF GRIEF.

A handsome black collie, belong
ing to Robert Boyle, merchant in
Chester, Pa, died of grief the other
morning. Several weeks ago Mr..
Boyle's 14-month-old son Robert was
taken i'll. At first the collie simply
played about the child, its evident
purpose being to amuse the little
one. Finally the child became worse,
and from the time the dog heard its
little master groan with pain it re-
fused food and drink. The collie
would lie for hours beside the child's
bed, and when put out of the room
would crouch at the door and whine
piteously. The dog become a mere
skeleton and starved itself to death
through grief.
