NEWSPAPER BALL LEAGUE
WILL BE ORGANIZED HERE

The latest in the local field of base
ball is a Newspaper league, which will
probably be formed within the next
few weeks. Considerable baseball tall
ent is to be found among local mem
bers of the "profesh," and the major
ity of those who have at one time or
another starred upon the diamond are
eager for the organization to be put
in running order. A cup and various
other prizes have been promised for
the winner of the league race, and all
of the local papers will probably enter
teams.
A meeting will be held shortly to
discuss the matter and steps will then
be taken to organize.

Killing MAY JOIN
FLETCHER FORCES
Cub BaCkstop Selected by Dame
Rumor as One of Club
Managers

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-A report is going
the rounds that Johnny King, one of
the Cubs star backstoppers, contem-
plated throwing his interests With
Fletcher to manage one of the clubs to
be controlled by the Toledo promoter
next season. Prior to his departure for
Kansas City Johnny announced his in
tention to return next spring and stick
with the West Side machine. Dis
patches from Kansas City yesterday
told a different tale.
1.-The star players of the country are
strong for Fletcher and his proposed
third league" says Killing, land if he
is successful in financing it, as he says
he will be, the cream of the baseball
world will rush to his support l know
that Fletcher mas the contracts he
claims. Before / would sign with him
[ made him show them to me, and he
certainly has almost every baseball
star in the country lined up. The
boys believe he is on the square about
it, and while we could hold him for
the contract for the exhibition games
scheduled here, it would be better to
release him on those contracts and
give him a chance to carry through
the big deal"
Fletcher is determined to hold every
athlete who has signed a contract to
the terms laid down in the document.
In the event players who sent back
their contracts fail to make good on
earlier agreements, they will be hailed
into court. However, Fletcher isn't
inclined to worry over this angle.
MONEY WILL FLY
One of the big men of the pastime
yesterda remarked that F'letcher's
SO ,000,0 900, to be Used in booming this
venture, would last about a minute
when the real business of the league
was taken over Real estate to be
converted into the playing plants alone
woul. eat tremendous holes into this
capital, according to the magnate who
knows whereof he speaks.
Ball fields are not to be secured for
the mere asking, according to the
mogul, and especially in cities such as
Chicago, New York and Boston Fletch-
err is almost certain to encounter stiff
obstacles When pressed for informa-
ton on this score the promoter assert
ed other money would be flashed at
the psychological moment and that
the deal would be rushed through, rain
or shine.
Fletcher found time to confer with
John EVers. the well known second
sacker relative to the league, but the
outcome of this session remains a
dark secret. Evers also has been
named as possible manager for one
of the clubs to be taken under Fletch-
er's wing Big money will be paid
the athletes. or this all hands
appear certain, but there are terms in
the contracts being flashed by the
Buckeye promoter that don't make a
big hit with a lot of the celebrities.
Meanwhile the powers that be in
organized baseball continue to scott at
the project. 1t is the general opinion
that the game will undergo a series
of upsets before the curtain ascends in
1911 for the annual championship flag
races.

plains the fines. One thing I can
not understand, and that is why
this team cannot put up the game
of which 1t is capable at San Fran

circuit the men play good ball.
This is true of our games in Port

in San Francisco the playing is not

The Angels were a pretty dis
couraged lot when they boarded
the train last night, and several
made the remark that they hoped
never to see the town again. While
they probably did not mean all
this, it is a cinch that they do not
cherish any soft feelings for their
home town nor the fandom thereof.
Los Angeles is a queer town.
Nearly every other town in the
country supports its team with a
warmth bordering upon insanity
The Portland fans can never find
anything wrong with their club
and the others likewise, but the
local fans seem to delight in crab
bling the home performers. Wheth-
err this is due to some popularity
in this climate is not known, but
this feature is certainly a charac-
teristic of the local followers of the
game. This is not meant for those
loyal supporters of the Angels who
are always hopeful, but those who
can see no good in a ball player
simply because he belongs to the
local team.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. s1.-6at-
ting Nelson and Anton La Grave of
this city fought fifteen rounds to a
draw before the Broadway club this
evening.
While Nelson displayed all of his
old time boring-in tactics and kept
after La Grave from start to finish, he
clearly demonstrated that he is to be
oiassed with the fighters that cannot
"come back" Several times he had
the local boy worried but could not
gather the force to send in a knock
out punch.
La Grave was nervous at first. For
three or four rounds it looked as
though the old champion was going to
have an easy time of n. Driving in
straight lefts, varied now and then
with the old right cross which helped
him to the title, Nelson drove his man
around the ring. After three or four
rounds of this, La Grave steadied
down and fought back. He showed
little science but was rugged and game,
and his youth STAYED off defeat which
threatened him as far along as the
twelfth round. Nelson showed no lit
tie cIeverness in blocking, but this was
Offset by his wildness. He missed time
and again with his right across to the
jaw.
In the last round La Grave stood up
without fIinching to a give and-take
sIussng bout that brought the crowd
to it's feet. The men were hammering
away without evidence of distress
when the gong Changed.

The Practical Goat.

M. Jules Renard was the mayor of
Corbigny, in the Nievre. Every Sun
day he contributed to the Journal de
Clancy and this is the sort of thing
he used to give the peasants. Writing
of the Journal Oficiel, posted up on
the wall of the marie and which no
one ever reads, he said:
Il had forgotten the goats. One of
them never misses a number. Stand
ing on its hind legs. with it's front
legs resting on the poster, it moves
its horns and beard from right to
left, like an old woman reading.
When it has finished reading, as the
official sheet has an appetizing smell
of fresh paste, the goat eats it. After
nourishing the mind, one must feed
the body Thus nothing is lost in the
commune. What pity that all novel
readers have not the stomach of this
practical goat They might then eat
the books they had read, buy more
and SO the man of letters would in
the end be able to eat in his turn"

A remarkable feature about the
physiques Of reigning European mon.

V. is several inches shorter than
Queen Mary. The German empress
is trifle taller than the kaiser, who
always insists on the empress sitting
down when they are photographed to-
gether. Car Nicholas H. looks quite
small by the side of the czarina. Al
fonso of Spain is head shorter than
Queen Victoria Eugene, and the king
of Italy hardly reaches to the Shout
der of Queen Helena. The queen of
Denmark, too, is a good deal taller
than her husband. Exceptions to the
rule are the king of Norway and the
new king of Belgians. The latter is
six feet two inches in height and the
tallest king of Europe.
