Cusick

The past>two weeks we have had fine
winter weather. Showing at present,
but indications of rain.
The citizens of Cusick were aroused
from their slum bers Sunday night about
! o'clock by the cry of FIRE, and upon
hurrying to the scene discovered that
the building where the Phelps Lumber
Co. havestheir store was on fire. By
prompt action the flames were soon ex-
tinRuished. Investigation showed that
the fire must have started under the
window in the postofice. How it was
started will proba blv never be known.
No one was aware ofthe fire until it had
burned through the ceiling and into the
room above, where Ralph Phelps was
sleeping and woke him up. VIM. Boil
due, who was in the next room, awoke
at the same time, and without waiting
to dress or even put anything on his
feet, ran through the town and gave the
alarm. To his prompt actions and faith
full service is due the credit of the fire
being extinguished so soon. The extent
OF the loss has not yet been determined.
All mail in the boxes in the postoffice,
together with the cabinet. was burned.
All registered matter was in the safe
and was saved. A few stamped envel-
opes were burned because there was not
room in the safe for them.
The young ladies of Cusick have
formed glee club known as "The Girls
Glee Club" The following officers were
elected: President, Vida Burroughs;
yice.president. Leona Fallows; secre-
tary. Maud Adams; treasurer, Susie

OF the boxes was $53.l5, and they sold a
handsome quilt for $25, which made a
total OF $78 l5. Thew have less than $40

JENNINGS
NOW OUT
OF HIS BED
Leaders Wonderful Com
stitution Brings Him
Out of Danger.

SCANTON, Pa, Dec. 5.-Hugh Jen-
nings's condition is so much improved
that he is able to entertain visitors in
his room in the State Hospital, and Dr..
d.. A. Webb states that he is entirely
out of danger.
During the day the Tigers chieftain
read h newspapers and discussed the
accident with his brother. W. A. Jen-
nings, II other callers.
That Jennings can owe his recovery
to his strong constitution is shown by
the continued seriousness of the condi-
ton of his fellow-victim. Rev. Peter j..
Lynett, of Port Jervis. The priest is by
no means out of danger, the physicians
fearing an attack of pneumonia.
The two were in the front seat of the
automobile when it crashed through the
guard rail of the bridge last Friday
night and landed in a creek six feet
below.
During the winter Hughey keeps
himself in condition by playing hand
ball with Pittston enthusiasts, and his
main regret is that he will be COM
PEELED TO forego the exercise until his
fractured wrist heals.

MAJOR LEAGUE
OWNERS WON'T
CUT SALARIES

NEW YORK, Dec. although most
&C the minor league baseball clubs will
reduce the salaries of players next
season, there is no danger that the
major leagues will follow suit. This
authoritative announcement is made
here today. The big league mag
mates will continue salaries on present
lines. that is, scaled all the way from
81, 500 TO $4,000 for the seasons work.
AS a matter of fact. the major league
clubs at present are paying higher
salaries than ever before in the his-
tory Of the game, but they are reap
Ing larger gate receipts, and any move
to reduce salaries would mean rebellion
among players and fans.
In 1889 a plan 10 cut salaries in the
big clubs to a maximum of 81, 400
brought about the Brotherhood revolt
that wrecked organized baseball and
resulted in tremendous losses. no at
tempt to reduce salaries in the big
leagues has materialized since that
time.
The minor leagues have been paying
so much in money to players in recent
years. however, that many of them
have found il hard to make ends meet,
and some very radical cuts in salary
appropriations will be made this
year.

bod of twenty-five hours. The same
distance would take one approximately
from Newark to Buffalo, but it would
be impossible for a rider to make that
trip in such good time because of the
mountains and hills encountered.
Lorenz and Saldow, the other for
eign team, are expected to reinforce
the first batch of foreigners sometime
today, It is hoped that the Velodrome
track will be cleared of snow by Thurs

heavily on their hands. Georget and

point just below the knee. and they

the way Walker frames his speech.
Frank Kramer dropped in to say
"Howdee'' for a few minutes yester-
day, and the foreigners never lacked
company. but they are anxious only
TO get into the fray and are eager for
Sunday night to roll around, Most of
them seem to think that Frank

PHILADELPHIA. Dec Friction
between President Horace Fogel and
Manager Charles Doom, of the local
National League club, will probably
result in the appointment of a new
leader for the Phillies before the 1912
season begins. A sorry condition of
internal dissension was revealed last
night when a statement by Fogel was
followed by a broadside of charges
from Doom and his Philadelphia repre-
sentatives.
The storm. which has been brewing
for several weeks, suddenly broke forth
after President Fogel announced yes
terday afternoon that Manager Doom
did not desire reappointment for the
1912 season. From Rochester, where
he is filling a vaudeville engagement.
Doom shot back the charge that Fogel
did not want him to continue and was
disappearing the facts TO gain MS
own selfish ends
Both Fogel and Doom admit that
there has been friction since last sum-
mer. The president a y the manager
displayed contempt, disrespect and In
subordination.# The manager asserts
the president never did want him to

neered the famous deal with Cincin-
natl.
FogeI Hints al New Leader.
E When the Philadelphia Ball Company
met in Camden yesterday, and, follow
ing his reelection as president, Fogel
said he would name the 1912 manager
in the near future. he intimated very
plainly that tho mar would not be
Doom. II shall not attempt to force
the position on DOOM" Fogel declared,
and added he had a man to fill the
vacancy.
Apparently expecting some such
move, II. Bart McHugh. Dooin's Phila-
delphia vaudeville agent and business
associate, quickly issued a statement
which fairly sizzled. The big point in
ii was that II Fogel was really in
earnest Dooin would gladly welcome
his release so that he might be pur-
chased by Manager McGraw, of the
New York Giants. Fogel replied by
stating that he would not give Doom
his release so that he might join any
club Inc wanted. but if !. came to that
point would trade him where he could
do 80 most advantageously. That
brought forth the assertion from
Doom that be would stick in Philadel-
phia, as his contract had two years
to run, and would "let the Philadelphia
public decide whether they wanted
Doom or Fogel."

Bout Not of the Fast Variety,
Preliminaries Were
Good.

Despite the fact that Young Lipp,
the Bayonne demon, had severa
pounds on Buddy Faulkes, the latter
fought him to a standstill. Neither
landed a blow hard enough to really
hurt throughout the entire mill. Lipp
kept from fighting distance of the
crack local negro at times in order to
avoid Buddy's swift punches. Only in
the cilnches did either boxer connect
half solidly.
The first round opened with each
clinching. Lipp sent a light left to the
jaw, but was quickly rewarded with a
neat one from the left hand of his
clever opponent. Both exchanged light
punches and clinched at the bell. The
second round was a repetition of the
first each clinching at the start. Buddy
tried to land but the Bayonne boy
clinched. A swift dart was stopped by
Faulkes. The crowd yelled when Lipp
succeeded in getting over a straight
left to face. Buddy smiled and the bell
sounded.
Each cam out fast in the third ses-
sion, again c%linching. Lipp got a light
one to the jaw and after a series of
clinches he missed a beauty to the
face. Faulkes connected safely on
Lips chin at the bell.
Lipp landed a tame left to the face,
but vas quickly given a similar punch
by the local lad. Both went to clinch-
