FOGEL BORROWED 100000
Purchase of Ball Park I'm Quaker
City by Chicago Capital Regarded
as Real Estate Deal Pure and Sim
pie. and Casts No Reflections on
Integrity of National Game.

New York. Dec 3l.-The formal pgr-
chase of the Philadelphia National
League ball park from John l. Rogers
and A. J. Reach by Charles P. Taft. Of
Cincinnati. for SZ50.OO0 simply confirms
the belief that Messrs. Taft and c. W.
Murphy. owner Of The Chicago Cubs.
have put up enough money to enable
the Fogel syndicate 10 purchase the Phil
adelphia club stock From an excellent
source to-day it was learned that FogeI
and his partners have simply borrowed
about Sl0e, 900 from Taft and Murphy 70
get control of the stock, and that the
Western partners hold notes in return
! for their financial aid The purchase Of
the ball park IN Philadelphia with Taft
money is regarded as a real estate in
vestment. pure and simple
! Fogcl evidently proved TO the satisfac-
/ ton OF the National League magnates
| here two weeks ago that he controlled the
I Philadelphia club, and that Taft Mur-
/ phy and Company did not actually own
a single share Of stock
/ 1t ls well known that II Fogel had been
unable to establish this fact beyond per-
adventure. the sale of the Philadelphia
club would not have been officially rec
| ogIized by the league as a body. and
/ the new owners, including FOgel, would
not have been allowed 10 enter the league
meeting and cast vote.
! But It IS the general opinion that the
assistance rendered by Taft and Murphy
/ IN helping FOgel and company 10 swing
this big deal has provided material for
persons who are always ready to cry out
| against syndicate baseball Yet this form
/ Of ownership has been in evidence at
/ different times In both major leagues
! without casting reflection upon the integ-
rity Of the national game for a moment
At one time the New York National
! League clubs stock was held by various
rival club owners. including Reach, Of
! Philadelphia Spalding. Of Chicago;
Abel. Of Brooklyn: Soden. OF Boston.
and Brush. Of Cincinnati It IS also a
fact that Dreyfuss. OF Pittsburg, and
/ Hermann. cf Cincinnati. owned stock
/ in the Philadelphia club only a few years
ago. Furthermore. il has always been
( accepted as fact that Dreyfuss secured
/ hackers for the Doveys IN the purchase
Of the Boston Nationals. When the
/ American League first expanded. c. W
/ Somers, the founder Of the Cleveland
/ club. is said 10 have put up the money 10
establish the Boston Americans and at
least one other club in that circuit.

DAVENPORT

! Securing fnterurban Right of Way
President ]. F. Porter of the tri-city
public companies, upon his return
from New York yesterday stated the
company was now engaged In secur-
ing the right of way for the new
Davenport-Muscatine interurban line.
Mr.. Porter stated his visit to New
York, where he conferred with the
eastern stockholders, had no more
significance than that he was told to
go ahead and push to completion the
Davenport-Muscatine line, as well as
other improvements mapped out by
the company, as quickly as possible.
AS quickly as the right of way is
secured for the interurban line, ac-
tual construction work will begin.
3 Country Home Destroyed.-The w
]. Kipe homestead on the Utica
Ridge road, one quarter of a mile
east of the Summit church, was burn
ed to the ground on the afternoon
of the Fourth of July. 1t was one of
those unfortunate fires where there
was no way of fighting the flames,
and the best that could be done was
to remove some of the furniture and
watch the building burn to the
ground. The fire was caused by a
defective chimney. At the time of
the fire, the men were out in the
field putting up hay, and Mrs. Kipe
was the first to discover the fire.
At first an attempt was made to
fight the fire by means of buckets,
but this was soon given up, and after
the men had been called in from the
field every effort was directed to saw
ing the furniture and whatever could
be removed from the house. The
residence was a two-story building
on the north side of the Utica Ridge
road, and il is estimated that the
loss, which is total, is about $4,000.
Licensed to Wed.-James Wilkinson
and Miss Gertrude Rogers, both of
Big Rock, and to Charles W. Thias
Of Davenport and Miss Anna R. Kerr

his hand at the end of the barrel,
