GLENDALE GROWING

The town of Glendale has developed rapidly since the Southwestern Sug- ar and Land company took hold of the factory. There are now ten build ings in course of construction in the townsite. The store built by Charles A. Stauffer and Joe Melthinch is about completed at a cost of s4,500. It is a one story brick but so con structed that a second story can be added whenever required. The whole construction Is unusually heavy on this account All of the three stores whi/ 1t contains are already leased. The corner one will be occupied by Ray Stauffer and John Tuckey as a gen. eral store. Then there will be a butcher shop and cold storage plant and a barber shop. The brick work was done by Corrigan and Son and the frame work by Cisney and Cis- ney. Some of the other buildings fin Glendale will be a two story hotel of concrete blocks, a drugstore, bank building, restaurant and hardware store. A. w. Bennett is putting up .the hotel.

he American League OF Base Ball Cuba.

Surprise is expressed at our at
titude toward the national commits
sion in case of the election of John
M. Ward as a member of that body,
through his selection as head of the
National league. When men i'm
pute such motives to other men as
to declare them unfit for office, ex-
PLANTATION and evidence are in Or
der. In this instance: That of my
announcing that | will not serve
on the commission, but on the con-
trary. viii do what | can to cause
separation of the two major leagues
If Ward is elected president of the
National, am prompted by motives
necessary for the preservation OF
clean ball. No sport, not even base
ball, would long survive practices
not approved by the public.
Lovers of the game want honest
competition of the clubs, honorable
dealings by their managers between
themselves and with the general
public and the utmost good in every
particular. s-
/ Men who are tricksters would
quickly xii interest in the game. A
man may be judged by his acts
John M. Ward played a trick in the
case of Player George Davis, which
in my opinion affords good enough
reason to believe that it would be
ruinous to base ball as a popular
sport to intrust him with high
place in it's councils. In the fall O
1901 President Comiskey of the
White Sox signed Davis to play bal

can. cite other deals of Wards that
show him to be an unworthy candi-
date. We don't want to disrupt base
ball, but it is certain that we won't
stand for Ward methods.
We won't take the chance of in
curing such methods by permitting
him to sit on the national commits
sion. We are not trying to dictate
to the National league, or to tell
hat body who it shall or shall not
elect, but If Ward is elected as
Heydler's successor, the American
league will withdraw from the COM
mission.

don't believe the National
league will elect Ward. That or
ganization knows our attitude, and
realizes that although we are not
| trying to butt in," we will stand
by our threat and bolt the commits

everybody.
1t would be followed by chaotic
condition which would benefit no
one and injure all. But the injury

s32-HOUR
POOL GAME

Z NEW YORK, Dec 6.-All Broad
way is talking of a pool game be-
tween two young men which lasted
32Ghours, probably breaking all rec
ords in point of time. The stakes
wer heavy, over $4,000 being in
Volved.
The players were Jack Coriaway.
Ia Philadelphia broker, and noted
cross country rider, and Arnold
Rothstein, son of a wealthy bust
ness man.
Both are good players. They
started to play at McGraw's pool
rooms and when closing time came
persuaded McGraw to KEEP open sc
they might finish. The game started
at s O'Clock in the evening. On the
following night, after "a hours OF
play, Conoway was a heavy loser
and persuaded Rothstein to con
tinue. At o'clock the next morn
ing McGraw made them quit.
Many of their friends watched
the game for a few hours at a time
but none stayed all the way
through. At the finish the players
staggered to an auto and went to a
Turkish bath. A return match, with
side bet of $4,000 is being ar
! ranged

Four hundred pounds of beef and
bone. That's what the S. A. A. C.
officials are planning to put in the
ring next Friday night-the huSKi-
est amateur boxing exhibition ever
pulled off in this city.
Fred Lange, 208 pounds, and
Frank Palzer, 1872 pounds, are the
men Fred Creel is thinking of send
ing into the ring as one of the pre-
liminaries to the Portland Spokane

When Frank Gotch and Weeks
INDUCED in their alleged boxing
match. the local ring witnessed the
limit in professional boxing, but
when Lange and Palzer climb
through the ropes they will be the
first amateurs of weight to bow tC
Spokane audience.
Both Palzer and Lange are fair
men with the mitts and are capable
of delivering a few haymakers
when they become angry. Both
are mild-tempered young giants

send the fiery liquid to coursina
through their veins.

Ward was Davis attorney, and
drew up the contract. 1t was a
three year ironclad agreemnt. In
1902, after Davis had played one
season with the Chicago club, Ward
and John II. Brush, the former act

signed a contract, also ironclad,
binding Davis to play for the Giants
for two years. The contracts were

Davis did not play at all in 1908,
but drew pay from the New York
team. In 1904 he came back to the
Chicago Americans, and that club
| had to settle with Brush for his
services. The national commission
was formed in the fall before that,
and Davis was awarded to the
White Sox. Regardless Of the
award, it cost Comiskey $500 for
litigation in New York to find a
way out of the tangle.
