FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP
SERIES PLAYED IN 1884

The post series OF baseball games
known as the worlds championship
series, really had their inception in
october, 1884, when contests were ar
ranged between the Providence club
the National league champions and
the metropolitan club Of New York OF
the American association. Games were
played each year by the pennant win
ners Of these two organizations up to
1891.
In 1892 the National league season
was divided into two parts, Boston
winning the first half and Cleveland
the second nalf. Games between these
two teams were arranged and Boston
won. There were no games in 1898,
but in 1894 new series was arranged
the Temple Cup series-between the
two leading teams in the National
league. These games continued until
1903 when the National and American
league winners-Pittsburg and Boston
met. In 1904 no games were played
but in 1906 they were resumed under
the auspices of the National commits
sion under whose supervision they
have since been held.

PUSSYFOOT IS STIRRING +"
THINGS UP IN IOWA

Washington, d. c., Oct lS.-Wil-
liam f. (Pussyfoot) Johnson, govern
ment booze sleuth, well known to res
idents of the old Indian Territory, is
at present disturbing the peace and
quiet of Marshalltown, Iowa. where
he has had the mayor, deputy sheriff,
assistant chief OF police, and several
patrolmen, held in $1,000 bail each
to appear before a federal court,
charged with conspiring to prevent
a federal officer from doing his duty
The arrest grows out Of the alleged
persistence Of saloon keepers in Iowa
towns in selling liquor TO Indians of
the Tama reservation and the efforts
of "Pussyfoot" men to break up the
Illicit vending
The fun started when one of john
sons scouts was sent ahead as a decoy
in company with a fullblood Winnie
bago Indians to hoist" drink in one
OF the suspected gin mills. A rough
house followed in which the bar-room
gentry took a hand until the officers
pulled their trusty six-shooters. "Pus-
syfoots" men were then pinched by
the local officers and thrown into JAIL
where it is alleged they languished for
several days without being admitted
to bail After the men We're released
a counter action was brought and it
will take the federal court to decide
it.
