WORK SOON ON DOUBLE TRACE
Santa Fe is Ready to. Improve Pueblo
Denver Line.

Pueblo, Colo. Feb. As soon as
j. M. Kurn, general superintendent of
the Santa Fe railroad, is officially noti-
fed that the contract for the joint use
of the Santa Fe tracks between Pueblo
and Denver is signed by the officials
of the Colorado & Southern roads he
will then take up the matter of double
tracking the entire distance between
Pueblo and Denver. AS the business
of the two roads is heavy enough to
have a track all of the distance each
it is very likely that decisive steps will
be taken in the near future toward
double tracking.
superintendent Kurn said when in
Pueblo on the Harmony Special that
the double track work would be taken
up as soon as he was officially notified
of the signing of the joint track con-
tract by the Colorado & Southern Off
Gals.
The double tracking of the Santa Fe
between Pueblo and Denver would be
one of the greatest and most costly
projects ever undertaken in Colorado
since the railroads were built It's
benefit, however, it is said, would soon
repay the road for the great expense.
It would necessitate an issue of bonds
by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
but this would be no obstacle to the
road, as its paper on the New York
market is saleable at any time, 1t be-
ing one of the safest investments of
the New York exchange.

Member.

New York, Feb. 4.-Abe AttelPs first
meeting after his broken arm heals
will probably be with Jem DFiscoll in
London. He hopes to be able to be
ready for this match in March, his
surgeon indicating that a quick
mending of his fracture is probable.
The proposed bout call for twenty
rounds at catch weights.
A statement from Attell says:
ct feel, from what my surgeon
says, that I'll be able to start work in
time to go through with a match with
Driscoll late in March. 1 am anxious
to meet him on the terms suggested
by the representatives of Mcintosh and

man who can win
In speaking about the manner in
which he sustained his injuries, At
tell said:
"Kilbane threw me down and I
landed on my right shoulder, dis1ocat-

placing his knee on my left arm be-
tween the wrist and elbow In such a
way as to fracture the bone above the
elbow joint"

WHATMOORESAYS.
Manager of New Topeka Ball
Club Optimistic.
The Stock Company a Safe and
Sound One.
BELIEVES IN TOPEKA.
He Is Very Modest and WOn'l
Claim Pennant.
But Confident of Easy Riding in
First Four.

ut seems to me a successful future
for baseball in Topeka is assured, says
Manager Moore. THE outlook Tor tne
season of 1911 is bright indeed when one
stops to consider the disaster OF last
year and the meager beginnings for the
reorganization Of the club. No man
not even a manager, can falrly say ms
team will win a pennant but from what
/ know of men and methods IN the
Western League, Topeka will find
comfortable berth in the first division
+ ST know, players know, and fandom
in general knows that a town is a rot
ten ball town when it has a rotten Dali
team. And we all know just as surely
that the same town is a good ball town
when it has good ball team. This has
been truly exemplihed in Topeka.
1.-The new management is making an
honest bid for favor by bringing TO
Topeka tried ball players who can de-
liver the goods. We realize that we
must have a good ball club. Tryouts,
however, will have all the chance in
the world to make good and II they
fail they will furnish a strong reserve
in the lesser leagues.
while the Topeka Baseball aSsocia-
ton, a stock company organized to
purchase the club from d. G. Cooley
and place a winning team in the field,
is a more unusual ownership, 1t Is az
the same time more capable one II
: working in harmony as the Topeka or
such sound men as Chester woodward,
H. A. Auerbach, Willard Hail. Z. u;
Merriam, Robert Pierce, S. J. Bear and
A NJ. Catlin directing the club the CO.
operation of the fans and the success
of the stock company already is assur-
ed.
when Chester woodward and H. A.
Auerbach and Sim Bear set out to re-
tain a Western League club in Topeka,
there was much talk in the league OF
admitting a new town-Pueblo or OK
lahoma City, both good fields. 1t was
the personnel of the Topeka boosters and
the previous history of Topeka as
baseball town which induced President
N. L. O'Neil to encourage the retention
of the franchise in Topeka.
Personally, was impressed the same
way and readily accepted the manager
ship of the team. That my people re-
sided here was another inducement.
While I knew very little of Topeka, 1
was eagerly convinced of its possibili-
ties and took to the task of collecting
a ball team with a certainty Of sue
cess There were six players left to the
new owners by Dick Cooley. Now we
have four times as many and lines out
for more.
Nearly every league in the country,
including the majors, will be represent
ed on the new club. It is in fact a new
start with material, much of which was
never seen in the Western circuit. The
town is alive to the situation and the
mana cement knows 1T has to make
good The daily papers and the fans
are boosting US along. 1 believe every
thing good can hear about topeka
and there will be some baseball here
this summer.

GLEASON WANTS DENVER CLUB.
Fight Promoter Looking for Baseball
] franchise

Denver, Feb. Acting for Jack
Gleason, fight promoter and owner of a
half interest in the San Francisco
franchise in the Pacific Coast league,
an agent is making the rounds in
Denver, and it is reported that he is
equipped with authority from Gleason
to buy the Denver franchise in the
Western league, if it is possible to con-
summate the deal ID .=f
Ever since the Jeffries-Johnson
fight at Reno, Nevada, which was held
under the management of Gleason
and '"Tex'' Rickards the former has
been looking for an investment of the
100000 that the bout directly and in
directly netted him. AS baseball has
been Gleason's hobby for years. he
looked around and, it is said, decided
to buy the Denver franchise.
Gleason has written several friends
in Denver during the past month,
making all sorts of queries concern
ing conditions, location of the park
and other items of interest in connec-
ton with the same. If his representa-
tive can come to some kind of an
agreement with McGiIl, Gleason will
go to Denver to ratify the deal.
1t is said H. H. Frazee, theatrical
magnate, will be interested with Jack
in the purchase of the club.

BASEBALL ssHAIM OF FAME"
One Manufacturer Offers Two Autos
Every Year


Chicago, Feb. 4-Tentative plans
for the creation of a baseball Hall
OF Fame on broader lines than any,
thing OF the kind hitherto attempted,
were announced yesterday by a De-
trolt manufacturer. He offered to put
two automobiles into the hands of a
committee OF five or seven newspaper
men to be awarded at the end Of each
playing season to the player in each
major league who, in the opinion of
the committee, had done the most for
hla team in the pennant race.
Details OF the proposition, such as
the size of the committee, its selec-
ton and the method of arriving at the
choice of the player entitled to the
prize in each league have not been
worked out. The offer stands for a
period OF five years and will be open
to all the players in each major
exclusive of the managers, whether
bench or playing managers.
The idea, as explained, is to el1mi-
nate the question of batting, fielding
or pitching average as arbitrary de-
termining factors and to reward the
players who do the most to advance
the best interests of their respective
teams in the two pennant races. In
addition to taking into consideration
the performance of a player in bat
ting, fielding, pitching, base running
and other departments, it is intended
to include loyalty, department. and
adherence to discipline both on and
off the field.
Being the composite opinion of a
committee of newspaper men and not
based on records, the choice would
carry with it no official recognition.
The winners would be in the position
+ of the football players chosen annually
by Walter Camp for his all-American
eleven, except that there would be
two prize winners instead of eleven
and the choice would represent the
personal opinions Of five or seven men
instead of an Individual

"FEAsT FIT FOR A KING"
That Is What a ConcOrdia Paper Says
Of Santa Fe party"

From an advertising standpoint the
Santa Fe has eclipsed most every
ether organization Of late, says the
Concordia Blade. They issued a spe-
eial "Red Ball" newspaper for the
banquet doings in Topeka, had two
sarloads of palms direct from the
palm country and a very large sup
ply of other green decorations that
added an air of free, easy going roof
garden style. The tables were set with
the most tantalizing delicacies that
man ever put his eyes on, from the
lobster to the common Kansas hen
egg. 1t was a feast fit for king and
ali the kings of Kansas that could pos
sibly attend were present Some 500
guests partook of the festivities, the
splendid program and the entertain
ment by the Santa Fe road.

Catastrophe Dge to Cheap Labor
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Eleven lives lost i'm the Passaic river
accident, eleven cheap laborers who
were working for less money than the
work should bring; and the result, woe
and sorrow brought into the homes OF
these workmen. Caisson workers, IL
they know their business, receive more
than 50 a day for this dangerous work
These victims were paid this sum, ac-
cording TO the statement of one or the
workers. This effort on the part OF the
contractor to get cheap work Is IN
directly the cause of the catastrophe
that occurred In the Passaic river the
other night.
When will the time come when the
contractors realize that the cheapest
labor in the end is the competent WORK
mar that commands a few dollars more
a day?
/ wonder II the paltry few dollars
saved by the contractors vas a balm
for their. conscience as they think OF
the lives lost through the cheapness OF
their wages. Cheap labor Is always the
most expensive in the end, as this acci-
dent proves. WORKMAN.

EARzHoUAKE SHOCK ARoUNp NEW ZOE BAY

cTa HE communities lying around New York bay were treated to
Ii the experiences and sensations of a veritable earthquake
yesterday, when the large store of dynamite that was being
loaded into boats at Communipaw exploded. causing instant de
structiOn In the vicinity and sending a mighty shook over a wide
area that made solid buildings on Manhattan Island culver and
wrecked many thousands of windows and show windows. The
disaster, with its lamentabe loss of life and injury to MANY peo-
pie, was bad enough, but 1t might have been greater by reason of
panic. A multitude of people were penned up in tall buildings,
and If a general panic had occurred there is no telling what would
have followed. The force of the explosion was severely felt, not
only in Jersey City and the surrounding towns and on Manhattan
Island, but also on Long Island, showing the tremendous power
Of such a mass of explosives. But the shaking up will insure a
better system of transporting and handling high explosives. Dyna,
mite is indispensable in nearly all large engineering enterprises
and must, therefore, be transported and handled, but the law
cannot be too strict in Its regulation of the use of this explosive.
Now that a great disaster has happened there will be better regu-
lation by the law.
