CHANCE GOT UP ON HIS EAR.
Cubs Stay Out Late-Costs One of
Them $1,000.


Nashville, Tenn, March 31.-Manager
Frank Chance has called to account
every member of the Cubs who has
been staying out late at night. Chance
spent a great part of Tuesday night in
the hotel lobby waiting for the athletes
to return. Yesterday he called a meet
ing of every member of the team in
his room and gave a lecture such as
he never has delivered before on the
training rules of the club.
The affair cost one of the athletes
s., 200 and it may cost another a job.
The first had not signed a contract and
had asked for a raise of $500 in pay.
1t looked as if he would get it, for
he was working in first-class form, but
the manager demanded the contract,
which was the same as last year, and
tore it into bits. announcing that a
new contract with a cut of $500 from
last year would be offered.
I'm not going to sit up anymore
nights to see who's not going in be-
fore midnight said Chance. "A man
ager of a ball club has enough to wor-
ry about in running the team on the
field. I'm going along and run this
team. If I get fired. that's all right,
but I'll not let any ball players drive
me cut of the game. Nearly all the
fellows are hustling every day for the
good of the club and for their own
good. and it's not right to have three
or four of them making it hard for

HERES GOOD WESTERN PICKING
Browns Have Secured Waivers on
George Stone.

George Stone.
ST. Louis, March 31.-Waivers have
been secured on. George Stone of the
Browns, and it is now a matter of time
until the veteran is placed with some
minor league aggregation. Where he
finally lands is a matter Of speculation,
as both Omaha and Denver clubs, to
which he was offered, have turned him
down.
Stone has always been considered a
high-priced man, and naturally the
minor league moguls balk at paying
him a large stipend. Georges hitting
was his most important asset, and with
his diminished speed this will likely
deteriorate. In the minors, though, he
should prove a valuable man, as he
ought to hit Glass A twirling.
Stone was secured by the St. Louis
club in 1905 in trade with Boston for
Jesse Burkett. Jimmy Collins was man
ager of the Hub City team and secured
the Coleridge banker from the Mill
waukee team. who in turn had secured
him from Omaha. Last season Stone
batted .256 in 152 games ranking second
among the regulars to Manager Wal.
lace. Stone scored so runs, stole 20
bases and connected for II doubles and
II triples.
He led the American League in 1906
with 1858. and also topped the three
century average in 1907 with 1920, in
1909 Stone amassed a record of .2S7 in
but SO battles. He scored only 80 runs
and stole eight bases.

HAVE TWO FAST PRELINIINARIES
zbyszko and Koch Match VIII Be
Good Attraction.

The three finish matches that Man
ager Crawford is pulling off at the
Grand opera house Tuesday night,
April 4, is one of the best programs
of the season. The management has
spared no pains in getting up some of
the best finish matches for the occa-
sion, this being the last wrestling
carnival of the season and no doubt
the Topeka fans will take advantage
of seeing the celebrated German
wrestler and the Polish champion in
a finish match, catch as catch can, the
best two falls out of three. Zbyszko is
one of the most powerful men on the
mat today and Hackenschmidt states
that he is the most vicious of them
all. Koch has a reputation equal to
ZbysZko, having thrown all corners in
Germany and England before he came
to this country, only being throWn
twice and that was by Goteh, who is
now on his way to Los Angeles te, meet
Westergaard in q finish match on
April z. Koch is anxious to have an
other trial with Gotch on his return
from the Pacific coast. that is If he is
successful in his match with Wester-
gard. Kid Ketchel of Kansas City is
another husky wrestler and will make
1t lively with the Topeka boy Woods.
The election return will be announced
from the stage and Spencer Abbott
will referee the match.

TAFT WANTS THE CARDINALS.
He and Murphy Among Those Chas-
ing St I.oIIis Club


Cincinnati March 31.-The news that
Philadelphia and Chicago clubs. and
Charles W. Murphy of the Cubs are
scheming to get control of the Cardi-
nails became common peroperty in base
ball circles.
Messrs Taft and Murphy have al
ready taken preliminary steps and have
opened negotiations to purchase a con-
trolling interest in the st. Louis elu b
from Mrs. Schuyler Britton of CIeve-
land, the owner. The object of the
sense. although Taft and his associates
are attracted by the large profits there
are in a major league ball club.
Should Taft and Murphy secure con-
troll they will have four votes in Ma
tional League meetings. The presi-
dents brothers wife owns the grounds
of the Philadelphia and Chicago clubs.
If he can get possession of the st. Louis
club the Murphy faction will dictate
the policies of the National League.

stock in the st. Louis National League
club, left to them by the will of the
late NJ. Stanley Robson. 1t is under
stood that there has been a price of
$350,000 set for the entire control of the
St. Louis team. including grounds and
stands. If Mr.. Weeghman can secure
control of the club and its chattels
without purchasing the grounds and
stands he will endeavor to do so. If
there is any hitch in a proposition of
this kind. he says he stands ready to
purchase outright the franchise, the
club, the stands and the grounds.

Atlanta, Ga, March 31.-Erskine

Ponce De Leon ball park yesterday
by giving several of the New York Ma
tionals a near-licking. Involved in
the row were Muggsy McGraw. Christy
Mathewson, s"Chief'' Meyers, Bridwell
and others.
The squabble grew out of remarks
hurled at the players the day before
by Brewster. The latter was prac
ticing with the Atlanta team when
McGraw attempted to demonstrate
with the rooter. While they were talk
ing Mathewson, it is claimed, seized
Brewster from behind and the latter

his head to sprawl full length on the
ground. Meyers came running up in
time to get stiff blow in the face.
other members of the New York
squad broke into the fracas and
Brewster was getting a severe drub-
bling when some of the Atlanta players
made their appearance with bats in
their hands.
The bats did not look good and the
trouble subsidized.

ed to him in a professional way at the
time of her visit and stated that she
did not consult him in reference to an
action for damages.
This morning several witnesses were
called by the Plaintiff in 1rebuttal.
Then Judge Dana adjourned court UNI
til 1870 in order to prepare his in
structions to the Jury. Mrs. Mills and
a number of women friends sat in the
court room for an hour after the
morning adjournment. They were
cheerful and Mrs. Mills seemed re-
lieved after her ordeal in the witness
chair the previous day. She talked
willingly concerning her case and
hoped the jury would give her a good
judgment.
Across the table in contrast to the
plaintiff and her numerous friends,
sat a second little woman, also a party
to the sensational suit 1t was Mrs.
Swearingen. She is timid little wo-
man and much of the time sat with
her head buried in her hand. She
too, showed that the battle had af-
fected her nerves. There were deep
burrows under the eyes that indicated
a sleepless night and she appeared
tired and worn. When it was an
nounced that the case would not be
concluded until this afternoon, Mrs
Swearingen left the court house in
company with her husband. All of the
women who have attended the trial
were in their accustomed places this
afternoon to listen to the argument of
counsel. n.
