had always maintained that he ought
to be In the infield. During the next
few years there wer, many changes
in managers, and it was finally de-
cided to give Fred Clarke trial at
the helm. The results speak for
themselves. He turned Wagner into

him to an outfielder.

HEDGES PREDICTS
BASEBALL WAR
Owners of American Associa-
tion Have Planned on
Fighting Majors >

Cincinnati, Aug. 3.-President Rob-
ert Lee Hedges of the St. Louis
Browns said Wednesday that one of
the greatest baseball wars in the his
tory Of the game is about to be de-
clared by the executives of the Amer
ican association, who held their an
nual meeting in Chicago today. He
says that they held a secret session
in Chicago about ten days ago and
decided then that they would never
re-enter the national agreement un-
less they are given an increased rat
ing and are more fully protected in
the matter of drafting players by the
two major leagues. The national
commission will hardly give these
clubs higher rating, so the war is
coming.
Decide on Cities.
When these executives decided to
declare war on the national commits
sion they decided upon the cities to
be used in this war. They will be
st. Paul, Kansas City, Louisville,
Minneapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Chicago aud Cincinnati. No efforts
are to be made to invade the east at
present-in fact, it is understood
here no teams will ever be placed
farther east than Pittsburg. The
secret meeting decided to use Can.
tillon's park in Chicago aud have Sc
cured an option on park in Gin
cinnati. 1t is also understood that
they will use the old park of the Pi.
rates in Pittsburg.
For the past two years the Amer.
ican association has been threaten.
ing war, and President Grayon o.
the Louisville team said here recent
ly that they had saved enough money
to take this venture. 1t is conceded
that President Tebeau Of Kansae
City is the most aggressive man for
this new league. This year he will
make more than $150,O0O in Kansas
City, which is larger amount than
will be made in at least half the ma
jor league cities.

In all his battles leading up to the
championship the Michigan boy wa1
forced to concede weight to his op-
ponents, and time and time again he
has proved that the question Of q few
pounds the worst Of it In the weights
would not deter him from closing q
. match l.si-is.,.t ,l.a,;s 4ls,,,l ~
In passing It might be recalled that
this attitude Of Wolgast's is vastly
different from that taken by Battling
Nelson when he ruled cock o. the
walk in the lightweight brigade.
In every championship battle the
Dane ever engaged in he held out for
1873 pounds ringside, and had his way.
He sent Joe Cans to an untimely
grave by exactly poundage that the
negro could not make without great
difnculty.
Yet Nelson had the nerve to sneer
at Wolgast's championship right and
hint of q saffron streak down the
spine Of the Michigan Wildcat. Nell
son and the eastern critics who have
sneered with him, have q chance now
to revise their opinions Of the VOL
VERNE, but their bias undoubtedly
will always warp their judgment.
In securing Wolgast and McFar-
land for an early battle, Frank Mulk-
ern, matchmaker Of the National At
letic club, has outmaneuvered the big
gest promoters Of the country. But
Mulkern will have to pay dearly for
the privilege Of staging this match.
To begin with, 7s per cent goes to
the boxers outright, 50 per cent to
Wolgast and the remainder to Nc
Farland. Then the rent Of the build
ling, training camp expenses, cost Of
advertising, and the score Of minor
details In connection with bout OF
this magnitude will run the cost up
several thousand dollars more.
Has Hard Time Getting Bout
Mulkern, like other promoters the
country over, has been angling for
this battle for nearly q year past. On
several occasions he thought that he
had the boys signed, but when It
came to the formal adixing Of sigma
rtures something always occurred to
cause q hitch. Usually Tom Jones
was responsible for this. Jones has
always held out for weight conditions
that Mcfarland could not meet hence
all the overtures and negotiations
were for naught. /,
q When Wolgast came east, following
his victory over Owen Moran, Of Eng
Hand, one Of his first requests when
he encountered Mulkern IN Milwau-

+ willingness to allow Mcfarland 70
enter at 1913 at o'clock, and that
agreement being understood, It was

to the point Of signing articles and
posting forfeits. 8
Wolgast has not definitely decided
upon his permanent training camp.

WEIGHT QUESTION. J
Mcfarland Has q Big Advan-
tage- Both Boys Now
+; (. Training

Milwaukee, Aug. 3.-Articles have
been signed and forfeits-in good coin
of the realm-have been posted by
Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast
and Packey Mcfarland, challenger,
and both boys have started active
training for their forthcoming cham
pionship battle before the National
Sporting club Of Milwaukee on Sep
tember 18.
Nothing short of an earthquake
now seems likely to intefere. with the
successful staging Of this match. To
back out will cost either boy pretty
penny-$1, 900 to be exact. That IL
the amount of their forfeit on depos-
1t In one Of the Milwaukee banks.
Manager Tom Jones. who has op-
posed the match because Of the
weight conditions, has receded from
his position, and has allowed VOL
gast to have his way.
The bout will be staged in Milwau-
KEGS big municipal palace, the Audi
torium. This building has seating
capacity Of over 5000 persons, and
with the new seating arrangement
planned 1t is believed that fully 10,-
900 spectators can be comfortably ac-
commodated.
In accordance with the Milwaukee
custom the match will be ten rounds
no decision. The weight will be 13s
pounds at 8 o'clock.
This poundage is what developed
the bitter opposition of Cherokee
Jones. 1t may give Mcfarland an
advantage Of eight or ten pounds
when the boys face each other, and
he had held out for 1873 pounds at 6
O'Clock, until Wolgast ordered him to

TEXAS ONION
CROP STRONG

San Antonio. Tex. July 13-Now
that the Bermuda onion crop has been
harvested and marketed. it is inter
esting to note how large It was in car
load and train load lots. In round
numbers. counting the express and
carload shipments 1000 carloads of
onions were shipped out Of Texas
since the first of March. Counting
thirty cars to the train. these would
make more than sc solid trains Of
Bermuda onions that have gone from
Texas to the market centers north
and east From these figures, while
the onion crop of Texas was below
the average this year. some notion Of
the extensiveness Of the business can
be gathered When Il is known that
the net returns per acre ranges from
500 to 5000 some idea Of the profits
is obtained, What has been done in
the Bermuda onion business is merely
an introduction to what WI he done
when present development plans with
onion raising as the end to be obtain
ed are completed.

poets for a special session Of the Okla

very slight for some time past have
all banished since it has become prac-

at this session. The bill has already
been passed by the house but is being
held ur in the senate and has very
little chance Of passage there by reas-
on OF the fact that the senate Is re-
publican and a number Of the states
which are normally republican now
have democratic legislatures so that
the republicans OF the senate are un-
willing to intrust to those democratic
legislatures the formation OF new con-
gressional districts There is. there
fore, no probability that Oklahoma
win have a chance to vote for more
