WILL COST MISSOURI $40. 900.
Have to Build Stands for Kansas Game
in Columbia.

Columbia. Mo, Jan. 1.-THE final de-
termination by the Missouri valley con-
ference to have the annual Missouri
Kansas game played in Columbia and
Lawrence alternately has placed tho
Missouri authorities under the neces-
sity of providing for greatly increased
crowds, principally on Rollins field
itself, and secondarily in the town.
At present the bleachers will hold a,
scant $500 persons The estimated at
tendance at the Tiger-Jayhawker battle
if played in Columbia, is put at some
point between 5000 and 10000. What
this will mean is evident. 1t will be
absolutely necessary to erect new seat
ing structures. preferably regular sta
dunn. According to DR.. Manly and
others. a suitable stadium, one that will
last and be a credit to the institution,
cannot be put up for much less than
SAC, 600.
It is very probable that the first one
of these alternating games will be play
ed in Columbia, because of the longer
trip the Missourians have always made
to Kansas City. At the present time
the athletic committee has in its treas
ury omething like $4,000. Where the
other $4,000 for a stadium can come
from no one is at present able to say
Then, again, where the numerous
out-of-town visitors will put up is a
serious question. 1t is thought that
the hotels cannot begin to accommo-
| date them. 1t is evident that If the
first game is brought to Columbia, the
full ten months before the time will
be needed for preparation.
The only two games which are as yet
on Missouri's schedule for next year.
football season are Ames and Washing
ton. There is a strong probability that
a game with Nebraska will be ar
ranged. This could be played at Lin
coin the same year that Kansas is
played in Columbia, and vice versa.
There Is some talk of date with
Michigan, but at present does not seem
probable. Texas may again be taken
on.
The track schedule for this spring
has been completed by q date with
| Drake for May 20.

Picked as Premier First Stacker, Ten

Frank Chance, manager and part
owner of the Chicago Cubs, is the great
est first baseman in the National
League, according to a review of the
greatest players of the day by Fred
Tenney in the Boston Post. g. P. Car
rick, an eastern critic. some time ago
picked Tenney himself as the greatest
magnanimous selection comes as a re-
freshing example of honesty in the
great American pastime.
Tenney says Chance, after being dis
covered by Frank Selee, developed into
the finest performer he has ever seen.
Tenney admits that he was the expon-
ent Of the new style of playing first
base, but says Chance came along in
time to profit by his mistakes and bring
the modern method of playing the po-
sition to it's highest development.
Just as Frank Selee discovered and
developed my latent abilities, when he
went to Chicago he found man in
much the same position I had been.
Chance, an ordinary catcher and a fine
hitter, was assigned to cover first. His
success was as rapid and his rise even
higher than in the first case" said Ten
ney.
HE developed into the finest per-
former have ever seen. His base rum
ming has seldom been equaled and his
success as a leader is too well known

LANGFoRD WHIPS JEANETTE
Dropped Him Once for Eight, but
Failed of Knockout.

Boston. jan 11.-Sam Langford de-
feated Joe Jeanette in bout of twelve
rounds before the Armory Athletic as
ISOLATION last night. Langford dropped
Jeanette for count of eight in the
first round and had a lead in every
round but one.
Langford used right and left swings
to Jeannette's face and straight jabs
to the body almost exclusively, but he
was unable to land a knockout blow.
In the opening round Jeanette drew
first blood, and angered by the blow,
Langford landed a left hook to the
neck which dropped Jeanette for a
count of eight. In the second round
the New York negro was unable to
ward off Langford's uppercuts to the
head, and the gong alone apparently
saved him from being knocked out, but
he rallied in the following round AMI
had a shade the better of the argu-
ment. The remainder of the battle was
entirely in the Boston mans favor.
Charley White, of New York, the third
man in the ring, gave Langford the
decision

ence voted in favor of summer base
ball. Translated, this means that COL
lege athletics would be permitted to
accept compensation from semi-profes-
sional clubs during the summer
months. This is the very thing thst
nine-tenths of the college players do,
anyway, and in declining to adopt a
summer ball rule the conference has
made liar and a sneak out of these
very athletes. Nebraska refused last
spring to certify to the amateur stand
ing of its baseball players. which, IN
honor, was the only logical position.
The deception will continue at other
valley institutions and baseball will re-
main recognized college sport. The
Nebraska authorities, meanwhile, ses'
no alternative and the abolition Of the
game of bat and ball at Nebraska
seems to be reshadowed. Truly, the
mollycoddles now in the saddle in
Missouri valley conference circles are
''purists" of high degree. They have
denounced Thanksgiving day football in
one breath and praised baseball trick
cry and deceit in the next. 1t is a
spectacle which is more than sublime.

Rock Islanders Dedicate Claim Agent
Ditty to Local Officer.
The Rock Island men in Topeka
have clipped the following poem
out of the Chicago Traffic club "Way-
bilp' and have dedicated it to w. C.
Cartilage, claim agent of the road in
Topeka:
You can talk about the ticketmen who
get it in the neck;
You can talk about the baggagemen
with troubles by the peck;
But the man who gets the worst of it
and shoulders all the blames,
Is the man behind the roller-top who
straightenS out the claims.
There are claims in every pigeon hole.
and claims on every hand;
There are claims from every quarter
of this busy, crazy land;
There's the honest ones. the foolish
ones, the ones that smack of
Scheme"
And they're pouring in upon him in
a never-ending stream.
There's a claimant who is kicking
cause his horses weren't fed;
There's letter from a woman who
has lost feather bed;
There's a fellow who says he got a
car of fruit instead of beef.
ana announcer calls the agent a darn cd
liar and a thief"
There's kicker claims he drew
box of tracts instead of
booze
And a preacher writes he's got case
of "stuff" he doesn't use:
oh, the world at large reviles him, and
it calls him bitter names,
That poor guy behind the roller-top
who straightens out the claims.
oh, he has to bear the burden of a
million mems mistakes;
He has to pit his brain against the
buffers and the fakes"
And his job don't end with packing
his now never-ending loads,
For he has to help his fellow-man on
all the foreign" roads
You can talk about the ticketmen who
get it in the neck;
You can talk about the baggagenen
with troubles by the peck;
But the man who gets the worst of it
and shoulders all the blames.
Is the man behind the roller-top who

New York. Jan. 1.-THE name of
E. H. Hartman will within few days
figure largely in the news of the finan-
cial world. AS his personality fades
away his acts are being better under
stood, and in nearly every direction
his fame as a railroad builder is grow
ing.
Perhaps the one act of Harriman's
career that reused public indignation
was his purchase for the Union Pa
cific treasury of the many million
dollars worth of securities in the
open market at high prices at a time
when it was afterward proved that
business associates of his were SELL
ing those same securities
An Intellectual attempt was made to
explain this action, and his refusal to
do so was accepted by the world in
general as proof that he had used the
resources of the Union Pacific to save
his financial comrades from ruin.
Now new theory of that deal is OBJ
tanning credence.
The Hill roads were invading the
Union Pacific territory, and Harri-
mans attempts to head them off
through purchase of the Northern
Pacific had been nullified by the SUI
preme court.
His only other method of defense
was to extend the st. Paul through to
the Pacific. thus giving Northern Pa
cif1c a dangerous rival that would
nave to be VanQu1Shed before Union
Pacific could be injured
The st. Paul could not raise the
money to build. and if the Union Pa
cific had advanced it the Hill people
would have appreciated the situation
in time to strike a blow at Hartman.
BY relieving men like William Rookie
Teller and James Stillman of their bur-
dens of other stocks the Union Pa
cific treasury placed them in posi-
ton to take new stock issued by st.
Paul for building this extension.
If this theory of the affair is cor
rect Hartman not only acted the part
of an honest man in that transaction,
but did a tremendously good thing
for the stockholders of the Union Pa
cific.
The St. Paul extension was certain
~ staggering blow to the Northern
Pacific. and it has staggered the St.
Paul quite a bit, too. but it will be
several years before the Northern Pa
cif1c will have vitality enough to in
wade the Hartman territory to any
dangerous extent.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS ON N. Y. G

Washington, Jan. 11.-Improve-
ments costing s42,00o.000 have been
laid out by the New York Central
terminals in New York city according
to Clyde Brown counsel for those lines,

Mr.. Brown said the necessity for
great improvements and betterments

1909. If the interest charges had to
be paid on the proposed $4,000, 900
for betterment he said there would be
a reduction of approximately $1,400,-
00e in the amount paid to investors in
New York Central securities.
