RIVALS, COBB AND WAGNER,
THROW BOUQUETS FREELY

Some one asked Hans Wagner what
he thought of Cobb, and he replied;
cobb is a great ball player, one of
the greatest I ever saw. He was the
one man on the Detroit team that we all
feared, and we were lucky that he did
not get on the bases oftener, for he is
a dangerous man whenever he starts to
advance. Cobb Is a fine fellow, and
wish him all the luck in the world.
am glad we won, but I am happier that
it is all over, for 1 want to get down
to my automobile business, which needs
attention"
Ty Cobb was a much disappointed
man as the result of the Pirates victory
1T was tough to lose the series, and IL
would have been ours if we had been
able to come back with another pitcher
but that is where we failed. What do
think of Wagner? Well, it is the height
of my ambition to be as great a bal
player as he I could not help watching
him in these games, for it was the first
time 1 have ever seen him, and he is
certainly a wonder"

WHITTIER GETS NEXT
CRACK At De ROSTER

Reports from Los Angeles say that f.
E. whittier, the Salt Lake motor rider,
will be given the next chance against
Jake De Roster, the record-holdine
Frenchman, who won from Theo Sam
uelson at the Los Angeles motor track
last Sunday.
Local bike followers are certain that
Whittier, with an even break in ma
chimes, will give the F'renchman all he
wants, and many think he has better
chance to win than did Samuelson. Du-
ring the past season Whittier showed
that he was a more daring and nervleE
rider than Samuelson and in close pinch
with De Roster this advantage may win
for Whittier.
In the Samuelson-De Roster race the
finishes in the three ten-mile heats were
close, Samuelson taking the second in
the final sprint, which, however, saw his
opponent with a flat front tire. DE
Roster took the final heat in S:3S, which
was 80 seconds slower than the track rec
ord for 10 miles.
On the large track, however, motor vic
tories are largely a question of the ma
chine

PRICE OF VICTORY IS
HARD BLOW TO DREYFUSS
Looks as If Hans Wagner and Man
ager Clarke Will Retire From
the Game.

Chicago, Nov. 10.-Now that the baseball
season is ended and Pittsburg has won
the worlds championship and fulfilled the
dearest wish of President Barney Drey
fuss heart. it seems that the victory has
been bought at a price which the owner
of the Pirates does not want to pay-the
retirement of Hans Wagner and Manager
Fred Clarke.
He has already spoken to Hans and
Fred regarding the prospects for next sea-
son and is said to have met with no en-
cOura cement.
1t is not question of money that wor-
ries Dreyfuss, for he lets his manager and
star shortstOp write their own terms.
Both players are tired of the strife and
struggle of the diamond. They are well
supplied with the goods of this world and
are eager to spend the rest of their days
with their families.
Last spring Wagner stayed away from
his team until after the season had
opened, but came back and batted his
team into victory and into two champion
ships. Those championships are now re-
garded as the price of his retiBment.
He honestly wants to spend his days in
peace with his family on his farm. and
it is declared that he has positively re-
fused to entertain any proposition what
ever regarding another season with the
Manager Fred Clarke is just as eager
to quit the game. He fears that In q short
time he will have to retire to the bench
in favor of a younger player, and when
he gets out of the game himself, all inter
est for him in the pastime is gone. He
played the best game Of his life in the
past season and does not want to hold
on until obliged to direct the team from
the bench.
Before leaving Pittsburg for his west
ern ranch, Clarke declared he might not
come back and that he wanted to re-
tire" Many National leaguers are now
saying that he has made up his mind to
STAY out.

JUAREZ MEETING WILL BE
BIG SUCCESS, SAYS WYNN

Latonia Race Track, KY, Nov. 6.-Matt
Wynn, manager of the new track at
Juarez, Mexico, was at the local course
today and was kept busy answering que5-
lions regarding the outlook for this win
ter in the land of chill con carne Re
garding the sensational story to the er-
feet that reform movement was on foot
to have the Mexican Jockey clubs con-
cessions revoked, the astute Kentuckian
asserted that there was absolutely no
truth in the rumor.
Our concessions were granted by the
government, President Diaz having per-
sonal representatives present at the con-
ference as a guarantee Of good faith, and
1 have every confidence in the world that
we will be permitted to operate our tracks
for the next twenty years without inter
ference of any kind"
Concluding, Mr.. Wynn said the meeting
would be opened at Juarez on Christmas
day. All structural work has been com
pleted and horsemen who have visited the
new plant claim it to be the most palatia
and modern on the North American con
tinent
I'VE have a dozen stakes in our books
for the coming winter with an aggregate
value of $50, OOO,' said Mr.. Wynn, land they
have all filled we'll having an average OF
thirty entrants in each"

UMPIRE KLEIN GETS BEST
OF PIRATE PLAYER MILLER

According to the Pirate players. Sec
ond Baseman Miller never gets real
reckless with his monthly stipend, con-
seuuently the gist of a little run in be-
tween him and Umpire Klein will prob
ably get many a good laugh far into
the winter months.
In the second game at Detroit Umpire
KLEIN called Miller out on strike that
Miller didn't believe came up to the re-
ouirements of the rule book. He turned
angrily, threw his hat at the umpire
feet, and then began to debate on when
is a strike not a strike.
Umpire Klein failed to appreciate the
argument or situation, and by means of
+he deaf and dumb language, made il
evident that the little argument would
cost Miller sos. Ordinarily twenty-five
simoleons in the shape of a fine would
have caused Mr.. Miller to become more
or less meek. but not on this occasion.
The fine only served to spur on Miller,
who continued the debate with renewed
ardor In an effort to suspend hostili-
ties. KLEIN raised the fine ante to $50
The loss of a little filthy lucre, however
couldn't stop Miller, and in a voice that
could be heard in the stand, he fairly
yelled:
L don't care if you take my entire
receipts, you missed that strike"
BY this time several of the players
had started Miller on his way to second
base and saved Klein the trouble Of Inn
posing a new sentence.
And still there are some who viii in
gist that the series was fixed. If one OF
them could only act as umpire for about
three innings he would change his mind
forever.

New York, Nov. 10.-The sporting
world, just now keenly interested in the
coming Jeffries-Johnson fight, noted
with interest today the report of an Of
fer by William A. Brady, a theatrical
manager. to post $4,000, the entire sum
to go to Jeffries, if he would agree to
fight Al Kaufman within ninety days.
Interest increased when no word of re-
ply came from Jeffries, but tonight the
bottom dropped out when Sam Berger,
Jeffries' manager, did some talking.
when the bids have been opened and
the club and date for the Seffries-John-
son fight has been settled upon, if Will
liam A. Brady comes forward with the
$4,000 cash, then Jeffries will consider
meeting Kaufman" said Berger.
AS it is now, Berger said, neither he
nor Jeffries considered Brady's pub
lished offer seriously. They heard

whom he formerly managed, is well
known, stipulated in his offer that the
fight be for only ten rounds; that it be
In private or public, as Jeffries might
elect, and that if held in public, JEFF
