EXPECT TO ARRANGE
ALL DETAILS THIS WEEK
Committee VIII Go to Topeka
for Conference. .-COyle Threat
ems Injunction

Fulflllment Of the longtime expec-
tation Of a viaduct over the Santa he
and other railroads and the Cotton
wood river at Cleveland avenue seems
very near as a result of announce
ments that the Santa Fe company has
approved the plans and now regards
itself as committed TO the project.
Suggestions that the yiaduct be de-
ferred and that the money represent
ed by that project be put into other
improvements were rejected by the
committee representing the city.
Mayor Farquharson, President j. j,
ORourk, OF the chamber OF commerce
and u. G. Guss, who have been prom
inent in the long negotiations, expect
to start for Topeka Wednesday night
to take up final plans for the yiaduct.
There are a few details OF construc-
ton to be agreed upon, and the formal
assent Of the board OF directors, in
pursuance TO agreements, is yet to
be obtained The matter Will prob
ably be settled at the office OF Gen
eral Manager Koontz, Thursday.
Coye Threatens Suit.
ing forward confidently,d espite the
notice served by w. II. Coyle that
he will apply for an injunction the
minute the first dirt Is moved on
the site of the yiaduct The city
aud chamber Of commerce officials
are said to be firmly convinced that
Coyle has no more than the general
interest in the matter and that he
has no substantial rights at stake.
The legal proceedings necessary to
the viaduct have been accomplished,
with one exception Nose Weinberg
er has one suit pending on the pros
pectiye damages from the intended
closing Of Oklahoma avenue.
Mr. Coyle is said to object because
the bond issue will cost him heavily
as a taxpayer and on account of the
abandonment of the Oklahoma avenue
crossing. This Improvement proposes
that there shall be no crossings be-
tween the viaduct at Cleveland and
the Perkins avenue crossing. That
Is done to give the Santa Fe adequate'
switching and room for the construc-
ton of an enlarged station and a big
eating house. Better facilities are
needed on account Of the proposed
coming of the Denyer-to-Gulf main
line. 1t is proposed to make this the
central point on the way from Denver
Thus the main lines from Kansas
City and Chicago and from Denver
and the Pacific coast would be Joined
here.
Railway Officials Here.
General Superintendent e. Raymond
and Division Superintendent w. K.
Etter OF the Santa re were here Sat
urday in consultation with Messrs
Farquharson, O'Rourk and Guss, and
it was late in the evening when the
gratifying announcement of a general
agreement was made.
The plans for the viaduct are for
reinforced concrete structhre about
1000 feet long, running from Second
street to Fifth street, with a wing
on Fourth street to Oklahoma avenue
The structure is designed to be a
handsome one. Ii will be forty feet
wide, carrying roadway, street car

BAN JOHNSON
NOT PLEASED
MEMBER OF NATIONAL COMMITS
SION SAYS THERE HAS BEEN
roo MUCH SCANDAL AND BAD
WEATHER.
81 AssoeIated Presz

Chicago. Oct. 23.-Ban b. Johnson,
president Of the American League and
member of the National Baseball Com
mission. who returned from New York
yesterday, is not pleased over the man
ner in which the tickets to the worlds
series were handled in New York. TT
been an unfortunate series for besides
the nasty weather there's been a lot
of scandal connected with the games -
said johnson. There's no chance,
though, for such a thing to put an
end to the worlds series, for there's
too much interest in II and the players
are getting so much money.
However. the way the sealpers got
control of the tickets In New York
was scandalous. 1t was even worse
than IT was here in 1908 Had we gone
through with our investigation at that
time and put one or two men out of
baseball the present ticket scandal
would never have taken place The
sca1pers IN New York had all the
tickets they wanted. You could buy
any number of seats in one bunch.
How they got them I cannot explain.
There may be something yet to de-
velop from the present scandal but we
have no time to take that up"
Johnson returned to New York to-
day.

Fourth GAME
OF BIG SERIES
PLAYED TODAY
FINE WEATHER PUTS THE FIELD
IN GOOD CONDITION FOR Play
iNe-MATHEWsoN AND BENDER
WILL BE PITCHERS.
Nv Associates Press.

Philadelphia, Oct 23.--After having
been postponed for the fifth time there
Is every indication tonight that the
fourth game OF the worlds champion
ship series between the New York
Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics
will be played tomorrow afternoon at
Ehibe park.
The sun shone brightly today and
the sea breeze put the playing field In
fairly good condition. The managers
would not state positively tonight their
pitchers for the fourth game Of the
series, but Il Is reasonably certain that
Bender and Mathewson will face each
other.
Under instructions OF the national
commission an early decision was
made by the umpires today. Only two
Of them, Klein and Brennan, went to
Shibe park and 1t did not take them
may minutes to decide to call the game
or until tomorrow. They found many
puddles I'm the outfield and the in
field. and especially along the base
path was quite soft. The grounds
looked so bad to Umpire Brennan that
he expressed the opinion that the sun
would have to come out strong to dry
the grounds sufffciently to permit a
game tomorrow. He felt sure a game
would be played Wednesday. The
weather forecast for the week calls for
more rain beginning Thursday. The
members of the Athletics team re-
ported at the grounds as usual today
and donned their uniforms for prac-
tiee along the side lines.
( The New York players expect to
work out on the National League
grounds. Overhead the day Is fine for
baseball the sun is shining brightly
and good breeze Is blowing. The
present worlds series is a record
breaker all round. Not only have the
series exceeded the figures for attend
ance and receipts at one game, but the
record for the number of postpone
ments of one game also has gone by
the board Furthermore. the present
series will come to a close at a later
date than any series heretofore played
Since the worlds championship
games have been played under the
rules of the national commission they
have ended ON the following dates:
1906, Oct. IA; 1906. Oct. IA; 1907, Oct.
