fair to break up the bout yesterday due
to Ketchers insisting that he receive
the prevailing odds of 10 to 4, is to
stand. That was decided yesterday at
a conference between Promoter Cot
froth and the two boxers. In order to
clinch matters the Stockholders turned
over the money to Coffroth himself.
1T would take nearly $4,000 now
to get the same sum that We'll get for
$1,000" said Little complacently, re-
ferring to the fact that he had carried
his point and secured even money.

Purtell. subbing at the base, dived
across. Parent leaped ten feet toward
vital spot, it flashed through to left
fsld-one run scored, and before the
kaleidoscope movement on the field
ceased the Cubs had grabbed the lead
No more runs scored, but Brown,
pitching one of the grandest games of
his career, held the Sox to one safe hit
and, banking them, earned his victory
and regained for the west side team
the title of champions Of Chicago.
Four victories out of five games gave
the Cubs full measure Of revenge upon
the White Sox for the beating they
gave the Cubs three years ago-and
the Cubs were satisfied TO win. al
though every game was close and all
hard fought. So the series ended with
the teams respecting each other more
than ever before.
Brown was the hero yesterday. BY
one OF the greatest exhibitions of pitch
ing even he ever gave. he held the
hit, a drive by Parent made after two
strikes were called on him, and after
two were out in the fifth inning, PROB
ably never would have been a hit on
warm day. The ball shot to the right
of Brown, who. under ordinary cir
cumstances would have blocked il
down, but fearing to hurt his hands, he
made no effort. allowed the ball to go
on, just out of Tinker's reach and ruin

It doesn't take much to agitate
the political pot, and very little
kindling will set it's contents boil
ing. The other day A. M. Packard
a good and clever citizen of Mandan
was elected president of the city
commission there, probably for@sthe'
reason that the voters of the sscfty'
wanted him more than they did the
other candidate-at least he got E
substantial majority. Then the
Mandan Pioneer, doubtless finding
the typewriter working smoothly
and Packard's majority an inspira
ton, suggested Packard for the gov
censorship, and it follows, of course,
that a platform is laid down for him
by the Valley City Times-Record,
and the Mandan man is asked
whether he will swallow it, bones
gristle and broth. The Grand Forks
Herald finds the matter interesting
enough to follow along in the train
of the Times Record, and here ia
Packard bombarded with questions
to the number of a dozen or so, as
to whether he believes in germs, vac
cination, Christian science, aviation,
and a lot of other things, before he
has announced himself as a candi,
date at all. Nephew Packard of Val
ley City is anxious that the WORLD
shall know he is not in favor of the
Mandan Packard, merely because Of
the avuncular relation between
them, and doubtless the Mandan
Packard will just as hastily and
cast off the Valley City
relation. And in the meantime, the
harvest progresses and the election
is a year or so away. Let us be
calm and not agitate ourselves ir
this heated spell.

places, care should be taken to avoid
all restrictions which would hamper
legitimate trade. 1t must be borne
in mind that concentration and CO.
operation are the order of the day
in all the great activities in every
modern country. Consultations
which once would have been thought
to be destructive of all competition
are natural developments of this era
of huge masses Of capital and of
large operations in all fields. Mr..
Taft and the leavned members of
his council will have very import
ant work on their hands in putting
their programme, of industrial and
financial legislation into shape. They
will need the advice of all the author
tiles in those fields who are access
ible. That conference Of August 80
can easily turn out to be as import
ant as any gathering of government
officials which has been held since
Grant and his advisers, shortly after
he vetoed the imitation bill of April
1874, met and formulated the pro-
gramme for the restoration of gold
payments which resulted in the
enactment of the specie resumption

into operation in January, 1879.
