BROWNS TO CALLAHAN
AND GRIFFITH IN SALE?
Jimmy Admits Deal Is Pend

Put Through Soon.

Washington, D. C.. Sept. 23.-Jimmy
Callahan and Clarke Griffith probably
will be the owners of the majority of
the stock in the St. Louis American
lea que club next season. Callahan ad-
mitted today that the deal was pend
ing and probably would be closed in a
short time.
1t is no secret that the American
lea que Is willing to have owner Robert
l. Hedges sell out and that Hedges is
willing TO dispose of his holdings.
Hedges owns 60 per cent of the stock
in the st. Louis club. Griffith has been
after this stock for over year and he
and Callahan are said to be favored by
President Ban Johnson and the ma
jority of the legue magnates. Hedges
had his club sold last winter to a st.
Louis syndicate, which weakened on
the proposition and thereby forfeited
$40, 900.

NEW RULING MAY HURT
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Parents Oppose Conditions
More Than Game
Itself.

Brazil. Ind. Sept. 23.-It is quite
probable that there will be no football
team to represent Brazil high school
this year. The teams of this school won
the state championship last year. and
twice before captured that honor. The
rule of the State High School Athletic
association requiring physical exami-
nation and the written consent of both
parents of the players is given as the
cause But four of the warriors have
secured the signatures of their par
ents.
The parents of nearly all the players
have signified their willingness for
their sons to play on the team. but the
sentiment of all Is expressed in the ex-
preston of one father while 1 do not
care if my son plays, if / sign this card
and my son should be killed ] would
feel as though 1 had signed his death
warrant"

of the Wabash college football team
put his candidates through another
strenuous practice last night. at ingalls,
field. More than thirty men were out
in suits. The coach gave them two
hours of work including a fast scrim-
mage and nearly every man was about
all in when darkness ended the prac-
tice. Harper is determined to whip a
formidable eleven into shape at the
earliest possible moment. All the old
men are fulfilling expectations while
the new men. although few in num-
Der. make up in quality what they lack
in quantity.
Fritz Ebert. star guard the eleven

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 23.-Clean-
ing up the Washington series with a
double whitewash yesterday, the White
Sox annexed fifth place by virtue of
Boston's downfall and shook the CLAM
or of the national capital last night
with great glee. The scores were to
0 and l to 0.
Better than either the double victory
or the promotion to the top of the sec
ond division the fact that Frank
LANCE came back and pitched practical
ly all of the second game in his old
time form. He worked eight innings
OF 1t with the highest kind of a mar
gin and had the victory as good as
earned when he was taken out in the
last inning for fear of an upset, as he
felt tired after his long absence from
the mound. Aside from that. his arm
was as good as ever it was.
Jim Scott pitched the Senators out
with only two hits in the first game.
and one of those was a bunt which was
wasted in the closing rounds. The
Wyoming celebrity was opposed by
Dixie Walker. who fought a good but
losing fight all the way.

VIII Burns and his celebrated sleep
ball" was rudely Jared by the linger-
ing champions yesterday at the west
side park. For the Cubs were in whal-
ing form and batted the ball to all
parts of the green outfield, beating the
Phillies in a lively and active game by
score of to 8. While this was hap
pening the Giants trimmed the Cardi-
nails once more, so they still hold their
lead of seven games, which no longer
excites one, as the madness is all out of
the pennant race.
BY the slaughter of Mr.. Burns the
Cubs were able TO break even on the
series of six games with the Phillies,
which ended the battling between these
teams until another season. They were
also able to defeat once more the as
pirations of Burns to win two games
from Chicago in the same series. He S
tried it on numerous occasions, but has
never succeeded. On Tuesday he shut
out the west siders and allowed only
one hit Yesterday the Cubs had hit
inside of forty five seconds after the
game began and before 1t was over they
had banged out thirteen of them. scored
eight runs, and greatly Inundated Mr..
