O'NEILL EXCITED.
Western League Head Wrought
Up Over Bennie Henderson.
Report That the Outlaw Is to
Be Reinstated.
HE WANTS A CHANCE.
Names Several DeserterS From
Ranks of Western.
Could Be Utilized Now to
Strengthen Teams.
HE WANTS A CHANCE.

Oakland. Cal, Jan. 11.-President
Norris L. O'Neill of the Western League
is considerably wrought up over the re-
port that Pitcher Ben Henderson the
reputed phenom. who has been playing
outlaw ball is to be relnstated at once
in spite of the rule passed this fall
compelling the castouts to remain four
years on the coast before they can en-
ter organized leagues. If he is permit
ted to play organized ball, then all of
the Western League teams will reclaim
the players they lost to the outlaws.
Henderson has been playing with
Portland. A year or two ago he de-
Veloped into wonderful pitcher and
Cleveland bought him. but the wizard
refused to report to the major league
club. He formerly pitched for Guthrie
in the Western Association.
Here is what Tip has to say about the
reported deal:
IF the report that Henderson has
been reinstated is true. I see chance
to get back the players who left my
league to join the outlaws. These in
Brand, Shortstop Buck Francis and
Second Baseman Kelley. could
strengthen up some of my clubs with
these men and of course if the powers
of organized ball let Henderson play in
g. club outside of the California State
league they surely would treat all the
other players, big and little, the same
way. Because Henderson is considered
q star is no reason why he should be
treated any better than anybody else;
neither is it a reason to grant special
favors because some big league club
happens to be after him.
THE same thing is as true OF Strick-
lett and Sheehan as Henderson. Why
should they be allowed to go back to
the clubs from which they jumped
when L am not permitted to have back
the men who left the Western League
to play with the outlaws? If the ma
tionaI commission wants to make
travesty of it's rulings by permitting
enc man who violated its edicts to go
rnpun,5hed, then I say. let them all go
hack. Give us all an even break Don't
pick out the big fellows and leave the
little fellows only to pay the penalty.
''It was really the so-called, big fell
lows who caused all the trouble, and IL
who should. I will surely make hight
to get the Western Leagues men back
If any of the jumpers are granted I'M
munity. When Manager Dugdale of Sc
attic tried at the meeting OF the Ma
tional Association to get Terry McKune
back. he was turned down. Mckune
had come back into organized ball, but
had not done so before May l. and so
it was decided he must remain in the
State League.
Now we are told that men who re-
manned with the outlaws to the last are
to be reinstated at once. l don't be-
Ieve, however. that the report about the
reinstatement of men referred TO, Is
true"

THIS SEEMS 10 SETTLE IT.
Application Made for Permit for JEFF
fries Fight at Frisco.

San Francisco, Jan. 11.-Positive
assurance was given by Jack Gleason
last night that the Jeffries-Johnson
fight would be held in San Francisco
or vicinity. This statement followed
the application to the board of super
xisors for a permit to conduct a As
round ring contest in San Francisco
some time this year. The local law
recognizes only 20 rounds and this is
the first time IN years that permit
for a longer contest has been asked.
Gleason stated as soon as action
was taken upon his application he
would notify Tex Richard, his partner,
and plans would then be drawn for the
arena and arrangements completed.
''The fight will be held in San Fran
cisco or in one of it's suburbs" said
Gleason. ''I do not know what action
the supervisors will take on my
proposition to them but whatever it is
the fight will come here"

SNOW SAVED THE TOWN.
Catholic Church and Manse at Wilson
Completely Destroyed.

Wilson, Kan, Jan. 1.-About o'clock
Sunday evening the alarm of fire was
given. In one hour flames covered the
entire roof of the Catholic church build
ing. The fire started close to the fur
mace, and burned slowly. At different
times it seemed to be under control.
On account of there being no draft, the
smoke was intense and the fire being
between the first and second floors
made it almost impossible for the fire.
men to know where to play the chemi-
Gals.
A hard wind was blowing from the
southeast carrying sparks and brands
all over the business part of town.
Snow saved many buildings.
Never before was the lack of water
works so greatly appreciated. The
manse, which caught soon after the
fire broke out in the church, could have
been, easily saved with a little water.
Many other buildings close by were in
danger. The ms urance was not large.

London - The latest news from the select world where fashions are made indicates that women will no longer have to do without pockets The latest dresses in tunic form show two pockets attached to the skirt in front, little above each knee, so that they can be comfortably reached with the hand. The tunic of light material falls over them.
 The men dressmakers who have de- vised the pockets have also stipulated what shall be put in them. It ap- pears that one is for the handkerchief and the other for the powder puff As no arrangement is made for the purse it may be assumed that the little bag will still be indispensable.
