Five minutes after Colonel Swope's
death DIR. Hyde appeared and with
Attorney John G. Paxton, took Col

He did not believe the taking of
medicine containing strychnine would
leave as much as grain of the poison
in the liver. Mrs, Swope testified that
DR. Hyde knew of Colonel Swope's
intention to give $l,5O0,OO0 to charity
and of his plan to change his win tn

planned TO give Thomas Swope the

In the tense moments when Miss

FLETCHER NEEDS BACKING y
FOR HIS THIRD BALL LEAGUE
Promoter Is Seriously Considered, How
ever-Has Eighty Players Signed,
Each Of Whom Is to Receive
$4,000 Bonus for Signing.

Special Dispatch to The STAR
CHICAGO, November lit Is believed
here that there is more fire than smoke
in d. A. Fletchers scheme for third
major league. Local experts believed at
first that some major league club owners
were pretending to string along with the
Toledo promoter, only to dump him when
the time eventually rolled around to put
up the necessary financial backing. But
that suspicion has been quickly killed
by the manner in which the big league
owners are now falling over themselves
in a regular stampede to sign theif play
ers for next year through liberal ad-
vances over this seasons pay. If big
league magnates did make any overtures
to Fletcher, the Toledo revolutionist was
foxy enough not to fall for the game.
1t has been learned from Ban johnson
and other authentic sources of informa-
ton that the big league base ball players
have taken more kindly to Fletcher
lures than was ever believed possible.
Fletcher has the signatures OF more than
eighty Of the best athletes in fast COM
pany. This number is ample both to put
strong third league in the field and
also to seriously cripple the National and
American leagfes. So many OF the play
ers have been convinced of F1etchers
good intentions that already the scheme
to form q protective association among
the diamond stars has fallen through.
Players Signed Options.
Fletcher has his players signed only to
options. The men are bound by these
to sign regular base ball contracts
promising their services for five years at

catch q horse so as to ride him over the
course in order to obtain the money hung
up as prizes by the jamestown Jockey
Club. ALI the horses were caught except
Francis Joseph and Essex. The four
other horses. after a great deal of excite
ment, eventually reached the winning
post. Expansionist managed to arrive
first in a terrific drive, head in front Of
Prince.
The trouble began with Francis Joseph,
which bungled at the first jump and lost
his rider. Bergoo tried to bolt the second
obstacle, but managed to leap so poorly
that he fell. The remainder of the horses,
following closely, tripped over the pros
trate Bergoo In quick succession In q

thrown far out Of the zone Of danger and
thus escaped.

PHILADELPHIA, November 11.-Char-
lie Doom will be manager Of the Phillies
next year. Whether Horace Fogel will
be president Of the club Is purely prob
lematical at this time, but 1t would ap-
pear that he might not be. Furthermore,
the eight-man trade arranged by Charlie
Doom Of the Phillies and Clark Griffith
Of the Cincinnati Reds will go through.
After all his clustering Fogel yesterday
was led to his oats, and he ate them. no
matter how bitter they may have been. The
entire managerial situation was brought
to q head yesterday morning when
Doom had gone to the depot to board
a train for Rochester, where 1t had been
his intention to go into business with his
father-in-law. Last night he had de-
clared he was through with base ball
and would retire to prosaic business life.
Fogel did not know Of Dooin's intentions
until yesterday morning. when he read
about them in the local newspapers. The
president ofthe club Immediately became
very busy. He tried to get Doom at his
home. and, being unable to do that, ne
sent q special messenger to the Union
depot to head of Doom and his wife. The
messenger was successful. What actually
happened at that interview will come out
in a few days. Doom left 1t announcing
that he had changed his mind and would
not go to Rochester. When asked II the
exchange tangle had been Strengthened
out Doom remarked that Fogel would
have to give out that information.
At the interview between Fogel and
Doom, Fogel accused the resigned man
ager with listening to the advice Of out
siders instead Of talking deals over with
the club president. Doom is reported to
have retorted that when he wanted to
talk over club affairs Fogel could not be
found, or If found he usually was SUIT

over affairs. - "a 81
