BOTH TEAMS NOW COMPLETE.
Champions of World and PhiIlies Are
All Signed I'd.

Philadelphia, Feb. 2S.-Both the
worlds champions and the Philadel-
phia Nationals are now complete. the
holdouts of both teams captivating
yesterday Lefty Russell being
signed by Connie Mack and Earl
Moore affixing his signature to a 1911
contract In both cases some strenu-
Gus arguments had to be used to make
the recalcitrant pitchers put their
signatures to the documents.
Russell came from Baltimore early
and he and Mack argued for an hour
before the young left handler was sat
isfied and then Mack had to make
concessions in the way of salary.
Moore was even harder to please and
it took all of two hours before Earl
agreed to sign the conditional con-
tract, being given a bonus for all the
games he wins. Russell's contract is
similar. Mack said that he would get
more money for his work than any
other youngster breaking into major
league company.

HUEsToN MATCHED WITH DEoRo
Former Champion VIII Attempt to
Regain Title.

New York. Feb. 2S.-Arrangements
have been completed for a world s
championship pool match between AL
fred De Gro and Thomas Houston, to
be played here March z, and 9.
Great rivalry exists between the
players. The last time they played was
three years ago at ST. Louis, when
Hueston won the. championship, de-
feating De Orc by 165 balls.
/ Hueston lost his title to Jerome
Keogh last April at the New York the
alter. and tried to regain it in Novem-
Der. without success, asserting, how
ever, that a nervous breakdown was the
cause of his defeat. De Orc won the
title from Keogh in December and dis
played his old time form by breaking
the worlds record with a continuous
run of 122 balls.

BENDER ASKS TO COACH X. o.
St. Louis University May Lose to
JayhawIxers.

st. Louis University May Lose to
JayhawIkers.
Lawrence, Kan. Feb. 2S.-One of the
athletic coach at the University of
Kansas is Johnny Bender, the old Ne
braska star quarterback. Bender has
been coaching football teams ever since
ne left the Cornhusker institution and
has been very successful. He is now
director of athletics of st. Louis uni
versity.
The K. U. rooters remember Bender
chiefly because of his great S0-yard
run On McCook field in 1905, which gave
Nebraska the victory over Kansas in
one of the greatest games ever played
here. The Jayhawkers had outplayed
their much heralded rivals and had ad-
vanced the ball to within a few yards
of their opponents goal line. There
were only two or three minutes of play
left and it looked like the Jayhawkers
would make the single score of the
game. At this critical time, Bender
took the ball on a fake play and raced
almost the length of the gridiron for
a touchdown.
Bender was captain of the Nebraska
eleven during his last year. He played
four years, '02, '03, '04 and '05 Walter
Camp named him as an All-American
possibility in 1905. He received his
rudimentary instructions in the game
under Coach Booth, and still adheres to
the Booth methods in his coaching. He
was formerly a professional baseball
player and for this reason is doubly fit
to handle K. U. athletics, as the new
mentor will have to take charge Of the
diam ond recruits as we'll as the grid
iron performers.

According to. reports from VncenneS,
Ind, William Forney, who manager
the Hannibal club last season, succeed
ing Wee Willie Prout, is dissatisfied
with terms offered by Quincy Tor the
coming season. Forney, together with
Dan Kerwin, and Fred Spencer, were
sold to Quincy last week by Hannibal
y orney says he will play independent

Indiana college club. It is expected
that Kerwin and Spencer will sign

Pitcher Charles Reyes, a southpaw,

Among the players whom Beckley
has signed is Third Baseman Isaacs,
who played in the Western association
last season. s.oe
Manager Beckley has signed John
Campbell of ST. Louis, who played in
the Trolley league during the past two
seasons. Campbell is said to be an ex-
ceptionauy good infielder, and good
hitter. Beckley has also signed Joe
Mccarthy of Kansas City, another fast
semiprofessional player. The latest
man who has signed a Hannibal con-
tract is Charles Bird of Chicago, an
infielder -
Because of the cut in salary to get
within the 81, 400 salary limit, five old
layers-Webster, Raglan. Swain, Dow
ers and E,vans-have written the local
association that they are displeased
with the terms offered for next season
and refuse to sign contracts to play
with Hannibal. It is likely that the
above players will either be sold or
traded. The local club is anxious that
a team be secured which will not ex-
coed the salary limit.

The game was the fastest seen here

The visitors who have lately struck

keeping lead through the first half.
Members of the team said after the
game that the floor was much larger

rested their wind in the fast play.
Added to this, were the glass goal

The visiting forwards, Smiley and

their goal throws to the glass backs
and missed many chances to score
For the college team, Houlihan at left

Gambling ON National Game Was

Threatened to Break Up the
Game Entirely.

New York, Feb. 2S.-There have been
received here by express from Ken
lucky circulars of a betting syndicate
which offers to accept bets on the OUT
come of the approaching pennant races
in the National and American baseball
leagues and the American association
and also on club against club series.
The circular caused some uneasiness
among baseball men here, who were
quick to denounce the scheme and it is
understood that immediate steps will
be taken by officials of the leagues 10
check, if possible, what they consider
a menace to the national game Cam
bling has long been tabooed in profess
siOnal baseball and the feeling seems
general that if it is brought into the
game it will be to the detriment of a
sport that is now clean and healthy.
Some persons attribute the new
scheme to booknakers whose revenue
has been cut off by the passage Of
anti-raeing track betting laws. The
syndicate announces in it's circular
over, which shall be sent by express,
telegraph or telephone.
According to the book it has plan
ned, tQm5 is offered that New York
will not finish first in the National
league race. That the team will not

third place 1 to is quoted.
In the American league Philadelphia
is the favorite at 6 to to win, to 2
for second place and 1 to for third.
In addition to bets on the present
races, the offer is made to lay odds on
the standing of the clubs in midseason.
In fact, every sort of Imaginable COM
bination for wagering is offered base
ball enthusiasts.
Years ago baseball came near break
ing up because of open gambling.
The layers of odds followed the teams
about the circuit and openly made
books in the spectators stands. Play
ers fell in with the gamblers ana
games were thrown
This brought the situation to CHI
max, and seeing ruination of the game
facing them, the club owners acted
hastily and formulated stringent rules
against betting in their parks. They
even went so far as to refuse admit
lance to known gamblers
Also Immediately the situation re-
turned to normal and since then base
ball has flourished and is now known
the world over as one of the cleanest
of the professional sports.
