CHEVROLET WILL RETIRE.

Louis Chevrolet. the famous driver
of the Buick cars. is about TO retire
from racing This has been rumored
for some time. but now has all tus
earmarks Of truth. Chevrolet is con
sidered n valuable man around the fac
tory. and is one Of the best mechanics
i'm the country. so it has been offered
rs n reason for his retiring that the
Buick company did not care to have
such a man Jeopardize his life by rae
ing i'm the future. His services as a
driver are not to be moderated. only
last week he gave an illustration OF
his dare devil driving i'm the Wander
bilt cup race. He made as high as
100 miles an hour i'm certain stretches.
and might have taken the trophy but

PIRATES TO HELP BLUES.

Reorganization Of the Pittsburg club

may give the Kansas City Blues sew
cral players who are really good
enough for the National league, but
will be released by the Pirate man
agement for the simple reason that
they are dissatisfied, and Barney
Dreyfuss has made the statement that
he will keep but very few of his
players next year.
1t seems that there has been dissen-
sion on the club all year, and Fred
Clarke had n hard task keeping his
club in the first section, to say nothing
of winning the pennant, which they
might have done under different cir
cumstances. Dreyfuss has become
disguised with his veterans and plans
a cleaning. Wagner, Leach, Clarke and
one or two other Pirates have been
with the club for many years. and n
change will not hurt some of them

PROMOTER FLETCHER SAYS
TWELVE CUBS HAVE SIGNED

Cincinnati, o.. oct. I'D. A. Flet-
cher, active promoter of the proposed
new major league and OF the post
season series between teams made up
of the stars of the National and Amer
lean leagues. returned to Cincinnati
yesterday, and came out with state
ment, that he had signed dozen
Cubs, the best ones, for the circuit he
expects To start next season.
Fletcher was willing To back his
assertion with money. He said:
Il am prepared, any time c. W.
Murphy wants to take me up, to put
up from $4,000 to 100000 cash on
this proposition: That | can display
publicly the signature of II members
of the Chicago team. all lined up to
contracts for my league in 1911
IF Mr.. Murphy or any other sports
man, wishes to take chance on the
bet, I'm here and ready to produce
the currency on demand.
again, we-the men who are with
me i'm my enterprise-do not propose
To buy players from the clubs, as is
the custom in organized base ball
We propose to pay the selling prices
direct 10 the players themselves. Not
long ago the Detroit team offered
Washington $4,000 for Street and
Johnson. have Street and Johnson
for $4,000, saving of $4,000 on the
market price between the clubs, and
the saving is due to the fact that
will pay the money To Street and
Johnson personally.
Don't for minute think that
there will be third major league in
1911. Nothing of the kind. There will
be just one major league. and it will
be mine If / secure 1875 star ball
players the best in the National and
American leagues. compelling the
magnates to fill their ranks with dis
cards and untried amateurs, will not
that make my league at one bound
the one exclusive major league and
place the old organization in the
position of minor leagues?
