PLAYERS IN AMERICAN
LEAGUE TO USE SPIKES
President Ban johnson and Charles
Comiskey Unable to Find Substi-
tute and Make No Changes

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-The old-fash-
ioned baseball spikes will be retained
in the American league, according to
decision reached by b, B. Johnson,
president of the American league, and
Charles A. Comiskey, president of the
Chicago Americans, after a conference
here today. Johnson and Comiskey
were appointed at the last meeting as
a committee to take up the subject of
abolishing the present style of spikes.
1--WE have inspected several devices
intended to supplant the present
spikes said Johnson, but have found
none of them satisfactory. There has
been - some complaint concerning
spikes, but in the estimation of Com
iskey and myself there is nothing that
will take their place."

Hester wired as follows: IF you

Jones laughed when he read the tele-

the crowd that was standing by mar
veled at the supreme nerve of the man
who has earned an unenviable reputa-

and. seemingly, insincere when it

In order to fully test the sincerity

beyond all question that he is dealing

of Indignantly declining to deal fur

of the letter Hester is required to tele-
graph his reply.
Hester win have to show his hand
when he receives Jones' letter. The
articles of agreement drawn by Hester
are unchanged except as regards the
stakeholder, Jones substituting John
Clarke for Tom Dillon. Jones IN
formed Hester in the letter that if the
articles of agreement, as changed ana
signed, were satisfactory, he shoulu
deposit $2500 in cash with Clarke and
have Clarke wire Jones to that erect.
Upon receipt of the telegram from
Clarke. Jones will deposit his forfeit
of $25O0 with his local bank and have
it transferred to Clarke by telegraph.
If Hester complies with these emil
nently fair and reasonable terms he
will get the match Otherwise, he viii
stand convicted before the sporting
public as a four-flusher and match
buster purely and simply. 1t has been
suspected all along that he was acting
merely as a match buster instead of a
fight promoter, and it remains to be
proved whether he intends to stage this
fight or merely break up the match
for McCarey out of pure deTiiishneSs.
Jones will take Wolgast to Wheeler
Springs this afternoon, and they will
remain there for week or two resting
and recuperating. This trip will cost
Jones about $500 or more, and he is
making 1t in good faith, expecting Hes
ter to come through with the right
sort of stuff. In that event. Wolgast
will go to Frisco about February l and
begin training for the fight. Jones and
Wolgast have acted in good faith all
through the negotiations and are en-
titled to more courteous and business
like treatment from Hester.

LAWYERS TOO FAST FOR
THlSTLES AT BASKETBALL
Win by "a to 81 Score After Being
Easily outpIayed in First Half
of Exciting Match Game

The law school basketball team de-
feated the fast Y. M. c.. A. Thistles at
the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium Thursday
night by a score of "a to 81. To say
that the game was fast would be eX-
pressing it mildly, as the players were
on their toes during the entire con-
test. With a score of Il to ii against
them, the lawyers played the Thistles
completely off their feet in the second
half. Their team work was wonderful
and it completely mystified the This
ties. There was no particular star for
the barristers, all the players claim
ing an equal share in the glory of the
victory. For the Thistles Crook was
the best man in the game. The lineup:

DEBT rs GROWING

se Myron T. Herrick, former governor
OF Ohio, and president of the Society
for Savings Of Cleveland, recently
uttered the following warning:
The expenditures of the national
government are increasing about
twice as fast the wealth of the
country. The expenditures Of the
separate states are increasing about
three times as fast of the country's
wealth. If this reckless pace
continues the pressure of taxation
soon will become intolerable, and
municipal credit will be exhausted.
Raremedy is not soon applied, not
only will new issues of municipal,
state and government bonds sell for
much less than heretofore, but the
bonds already in the hands Of the
public will depreciate in value"
Mr.. Herrick backs up his warning
with some interesting fgues. In
speaking Of the increase of bonded
indebtedness Of American cities, he
declares that the percentage of reve-
nue. in 1902 of all the cities to their
debt was 537.3. By 1909 this percent
age had decreased to $50. In ten
years the public debt of 40 cities,
including New York, increased 41.71
per cent, while the increase in the
assessed valuatissi of all taxable
property in those cities was only
1895 per cent.
Not only is this crease of expen-
ditnres true Of the cities, but also Of
states government. The official state
ments Of 80 states showan increase
Of 2s.6 per cent from 1886 to 1890,
! So per cent from 1890 to 1900, and
590.7 per cent from 1900, From 1890 to
1904 the wealth Of the United States
increased 85 per cent. From 1890 tc
1908 the net ordinary expenses of the
United States government increased
lila per cent.
