MAY SIGN CONTRACT TO-DAY.
Jeffries Will Agree to Any Division OF
Purse That's Fair.

There is some prospect that the ar
rangements for the coming battle be-
tween James ]. Jeffries and Jack John
son for the heavyweight championship
of the world, will be concluded today.
johnson and manager are expected to
reach New York today, and that they
will find the white man waiting may be
guessed from the following statement
recently given out in an interview.
IF Johnson was here this moment
I'd put my namo to paper and cllnch
the match. but that will be all fixed up
in few days. / will agree to let the
winner take all, but as | think john
son should be allowed to have some
thing to cover expenses I'll agree to n
division of the purse, as per cent to the
winner and 25 per cent to the loser.
"Any legitimate offer from re-
sponslbe club will look good To inc.
and / will bet $4,000 on the side II
Johnson wants 1t. I'll agree 10 any
number of rounds, or will go to fin
ish. There will be no chance for a
hitch If Johnson is on the square, for
I intend to be fair and mean business"
More queries as to Jeffries' opinion
of Johnson served to increase his APP
parent anger, until he made some re-
marks decidedly uncompllmcntary TO
the negro. Their several friends

BASEBALL MACNATES WILL
PROLONG PLAYING SEASON
Major League Schedules Are Likely to
Include Fourteen Additional Games
Next Season--Players Will Not be
Told of This Change Until After
They Have Signed.

ST. Louis, oct. 26.-Fourteen more
aamcs are likely to be added to the
major league schedules.
Jealousy over the size of the finan-
ciol melon cut by the owners and play
ers of the Detroit and Pittsburg teams
is the motive for this cute little plot
hatched by certain National and Amer
lean league magnates as sidelight to
the recent series for the worlds cham
picnship
The object is to increase the length
Of the playing season so that all may
share in the money. The two clubs
which win the pennants must take their
chances regarding weather conditions.
The mazuma split i'm the closing days
Of the two races is responsible for this
scheme. The magnates figure that
even though there are only two or three
clubs in each league which will have
a chance for grabbing the peiinants,
that the weaker club will profit by
playing with the teams which have a
chance for the championship. The
schedules will be arranged as far as
possible to carry out this idea.
1t Is admitted that the clubs which
win the pennant in their respective
leagues viii suffer somewhat finan-
caly. but they are expected TO sink
their individual advantage i'm scheme
which means additional profits for all
clubs in both leagues. Last but by no
means least, the players will not be in
a position TO grab the immense bonus
which now goes to the teams compct-
Ing i'm the worlds championship series.
That any more players should divide
some 10000 bones is gall and worm
wood To the souls OF the magnates. If
the playing season is extended, the
magnates believe that they will get
the greater part of this money and even
if the weather prevents a post -season
series-why, only the players and the
public are the real sufferers.
The scheme has been a-baking for
several months. and while it was in
tended to let the moguls of the two
leagues into the secret during the
worlds championship series, il was
not planned that it should become pub
lie.
This was to be reserved for sur
prise party after contracts had been
signed for 1910.

are not made over pianos that have
been played in any and all kinds Of
places, but they arc fine new goods

advantage of this great sacrifice sale.
You will save 500 to $3.50 by buying
now. After this sale is over il will be
too late as our regular prices will
again be in effect. This is your OPP
portunity. Don't let IL slip by.
Don't let the lack CT ready cash keep
you away. We will make you terms
that are easy and il you have an old
instrument, piano or organ we will
accept that at fair valuation as part
payment on any instrument you may
select.

Legislation Must be Enacted to Meet
Needs Of the Game.
Now that the 1909 baseball season is
n matter of history the managers and
owners are turning their attention "a
new legislation that must be enacted
The principal discussion will be "A gen
eral change in the government of um-
pires, il being claimed that a sort
such as baseball, entirely in the hands
of the umpire, should have competent
men in that capacity.
A rule that may be suggested will be
a date limit" for the strengthening of
teams that have chance to win the
pennant. Much comment has been
caused by the transferring of Players
Delehanty and Jones to the Detroit
team at the last moment in this years
American league windup.
Another subject for much considcra-
ton will be the making public of at
tendance figures. While some clubs ex-
aggerate the number of people at a
game others are satisfied to make pub
lie only about half the number in at
tendance, so that on many occasions ii
has been said that the figures given out
by some clubs did not tally with the
figures for which the visiting club was
paid, thus making the so-called atten-
dance figures worthless. Tho figures
should be given out to the exact count
or not made public at ALL
The question Of spikes will also come
up for comment The use of the pres
ent spike is the cause of much unnec-
cssary injury To the players.
