SIGNING FOR NEW LEAGUE.
MulIin, Cobb, McGraw, Hoffman and
Several Others.

Cincinnati, Sept. 27.-The activity
being displayed by Promoter D. A.
Fletcher of the new baseball league
now in formation, is causing no little
annoyance to the magnates. Fletcher
today exhibited letters and kilograms
from a majority of the players who
were signed to make the trip as orig
inally planned.
The following are'the a1I-star play
ers who are ready to fulfill their con-
tracts: Pitcher Mullin, Catcher Stan
age Shortstop Bush and Outfelders
Cobb and Crawford of the Detroit
club, Outfielder Tommy Leach and
Catcher Gibson of the Pittsburg club,
Manager McGraw of the New York
Giants, Pitcher Walter Johnson, and
Outfielder Milan of the Washington
Americans, Art Hoffman and Johnny
F3vers of the Cubs Catcher Carrigan
and Outfelder Speaker of the Boston
Americans and Second Baseman Ed
die Collins and Pitcher Bender of the
Athletics.
A number of the players mentioned
have also sent in their measurements
for uniforms.
In addition to the salaries to be paid
the players, 20 per cent of the gate
receipts will be divided among the
winning members every day.
Tommy Leach, centerielder, and
Jack Gibson, backstop Tor the PIRATES,
will play on the all-star team signed
up by Fletcher of Cincinnati. Both
made this plain.
why, certainly I have signed up
with Fletcher" said Leach, land it
is my intention to play if enough of
the men he has signed up viii stand
by their guns. We are under contract
to Fletcher. He has sent us our
checks. These checks are in the form
of a contract and cannot be cashed
until ten games have been played.
This talk about the national COM
mission interfering, it seems to me, is
all bosh Both President DreyfuSS
and Manager Clark know we have
! signed up to play They know we
were to sign up, and it seems to me
if there was to be any objection it
would have come at that time"

dered his resignation at the meeting

FOR STATE FAIR BONDS.
Directors Will Ask County to Place
$4,000 Proposal on Ballots.

At Fridays meeting of the board
of county commissioners it is expected
that that body will act favora bly, upon
the request of the directors of the
State Fair association to put on the
ballots for the general election the
proposal to vote $4,000 of state fair
bonds. Representatives of the Fair
association went to the court house
Monday to file their request, but ar
rived too late to find the board which
adjourned early. There still will be
time Friday and the fair bond issue
will be put up to the voters in No
vember.
The petition which the fair directors
have placed in the hands of County
Attorney John J. Schenck to be given
to the commissioners follows:
Topeka, Kan, Sept. 20. 1910.
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners:
Gentlemen:-We. the undersigned.
board of managers of the Kansas
State Fair association, respectfully
state that we believe there is a strong
sentiment existing among the people
of Shawnee county in favor of the
proposition that the county shall lend
encouragement to the development OF
the county and state by extending aid
to the efforts of said fair association
to insure the giving of a state fair I'M
der favorable conditions, and an ex-
hibition of agricultural and other re-
sources at Topeka each year hereaf-
ter, and that if the people shall be
given an opportunity to express them
selves thereon an overwhelming ma
jority of the voters of the county
would so indicate by their ballots.
We therefore respectfully petition
your honorable body to take such steps
as may be necessary to submit to the
people of the county, to be voted upon
at the coming general election, the
proposition as to whether the county
of Shawnee shall aid such project to
the extent of fifty thousand dollars to
be used exclusively in the making of
permanent improvements and better
ments upon the fair grounds now
owned by the county.
Respectfully submitted,

the championship of the world for the
American league. I make the two pro-
visions of form" and luck" By form
I mean the style of baseball play that
has made each of these two teams the
champion of its league. By luck 1
mean the great uncertainty, the ele-
ment of chance. that makes baseball
the favorite game of the people Of
the United States.
In a series of seven games for the
championship the team that wins the
first game has IAN ace in the hole, ."
to use a poker term. That first game
puts its winner on a pedestal to which
the loser is trying to climb. The play
ers know that it only takes the next
game to tie the percentage bat it takes
two straight victories to gain the lead.

Special to Times-Republican

Special to Times Republican,
Des Moines, Jan 27.-Hon. N. S.
Ketchum, member of the railroad COM
mission, in an interview today made
the following statement of his personal
attitude in the recent controversy:
II have been asked by some of my
friends why 1 did not make formal
statement in regard to the suit before
the interstate commerce commission
and the part taken on behalf of Iowa
interests by the railroad commission
did not deem it necessary to do so. On
my return from Texas last week L
found the matter had been given a great
deal of notoriety, but that Mr. Eaton
the lawyer member of the board, had
given a pretty full statement of the
official record in the case and of his
understanding of the matter. 1t seemed
to me nothing further was needed.
II am informed, however, that one
newspaper has seen fit to make a de-
mand for my resignation. apparently
upon the theory that l had charge of
the case and that in some way l had
divulged secret. There being no Sc
crets in our office l can not see how
this can be claimed. The records of the
commission are public property and
open at all time for inspection. Every
action taken by the bord is a public
matter, and Mr. Boardman represent
ing the Iowa packing interests, a party
to the case and fully entitled to know
what was being DONE wrote me asking
for the facts as to what was officially
done by the board, upon which turned
| the letter over to the secretary to be
treated just as all such requests are
treated He got the information he
sought exactly as you or any other
person interested might have obtained
/ it.
II might say that in my estimation
the initial mistake which led to this
mix-up was made by the Corn Belt
A Meat Producers Association in not
proceeding in an open and above board
manner to secure the Intervention o.
our board in the case before the inter
state commerce commission. The!
