MAcEE-poNLlN DEAL ASSURED

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Felix Isman
has purchased the stock in the Phila-
delphia National league baseball club
held by Robert Davis, it is understood
in baseball circles here. and the Ma
gee-Donlin deal is said to be assured
for the next season. Mr.. Isman, who
is now in this city, would not deny the
reported purchase. The Davis stock
was held at $4,000, or $4,000 more than
he paid for it originally.
Mr. Isman had been anxious to OBJ
tain the controlling interest in the
Philadelphia National club and put
Mike Donlin, formerly in the New York
Nationals, in charge as playing man
ager. To do this he had practically
agreed to trade Magee for Donlin. This
would have done away with the services
of the present manager, William Muir
ray, whose friends maneuvered to pre-
vent Isman from obtaining control.

The worlds bantamweight champion
ship is coming to Los Angeles"
There has been some comment on
the methods of deciding the champion
ship, in view of the fact that the title
is at stake without the decision or
referee. The popular demand for
meeting between the little fellows,
with the opportunity afforded Danny
of fighting for the title. and the i'm
possibility of giving a decision in
local ring has led to the present ar
rangements, and both men nave
agreed to abide by the decision as
final. If Monte is given decision by
two of the morning papers he will re-
tain his title. If Webster receives the
decision he will be acknowledged by
Attell as the new bantomweight cham
pion. With Attells word for it, the
public will readily accept Danny as
champion, despite that the method or
arriving at a verdict is unique in the
history of the ring.
Four good preliminaries which
promise plenty of slugging are card

Owing to the fact that today-Dis-
covery day-is legal holiday, the
teams in the Pacific Coast league, as
provided by the far-seeing magnates
who arranged the schedule, will play
special engagements. The San Fran
cisco team will remain in Los Angeles.
Sacramento will leave Portland but will
stop over on the way to Los Angeles to
play a double-header on the Oakland
grounds with Bill Reidy's team. At
Portland Vernon will meet the Oregon
team, continuing with the weeks series
in the far north. But the Vernon-Port-
land series is the only Tuesday play
that remains unchanged throughout the
week Sacramento will play the Angels
at Chutes park, beginning with a game
Wednesday, and San Francisco will
take an early train tonight for their
home precincts, and will open there to-
morrow with Oakland.
Two games are on tap for the local
fans today. Beginning with the first
game at Chutes park at 1880 p. M, the
two teams will play a full nine-inning
contest, and the second game will be
cut to five innings to permit the Seals

Farewell to Seals
Today is the last chance the local
fans will have of seeing the Seals in
action in the south this season. The
double session with the Angels winds
UP their away trombone schedule, for
in the three weeks remaining the new
champions will play at home.
Sacramento also will play its last
games of the year in the south this
week. Graham's Senators are playing
good ball in their closing baby" en-
gagement in the coast league and will
give the Vernonites a hard battle. Re
cent shifts in the lineup made by Gra-
ham have resulted in material benefit
to the team. The Senators will finish
behind Los Angeles, according to the
present outlook, as an upheaval will
be necessary to affect the present
standings.
BY losing the series to the Oakland
ers, Hogan's men have lost all hope
of showing them back into sixth place.
With only three weeks of play remain
ing, there is every probability that the
teams will finish as they are now
listed, the Seals Leading Portland sec
ond, the Angels third, and in the sec
ond division Sacramento standing in
the lead, with Oakland and Vernon
trailing behind. Early season hitting
slumps and some ragged infield work
has handicapped Happy Hogan, but
he has made a good showing, consid-
ering the time he had to organize his
team, and he promises a much better
aggregation next season.
