THE DISPOSITION OF STAG HOGS
Quotations for Stag Hogs Higher
Than for Other Kinds.

A western man has observed that
Chicago quotations for stag hogs are
higher than for other classes of hogs,
and asks why this is so, to which the
Breeders Gazette replies: "Packers
rarely handle stays, at least the big
concerns do not. The premium prob
lem is easily solved. BY long-sanc-
toned custom, stays are locked 80
pounds per head; in other words, the
buyer gets 80 pounds of hog for
nothing. This will kill the animal
and dress him. The lighter stag
is, under present market conditions,
the more he is worth. City butchers
and sausage makers are responsible
for the premium. They are not un-
der federal inspection and can buy
stays nthe "on-the-line" category
that would be condemned by govern
ment inspectors. The new stag mark
ct is incidental to the high-level hog
market. The lean meat is used main
ly for sausage making and the fat
for lard.

TRUNK MURDERER IS TO DIE
Jesse Webb Who With Woman. Killed
Man for $1,000 to Be Executed.

Portland, Ore, Sept. Jesse P.
Webb, the principal in the so-called
trunk murder which stirred this
section of the country year ago, will
be executed at the State prison early
in the coming week unless his. SEN
tence is committed by Governor West.
Webb has had two trials and an APP
peal for third trial was denied by
the supreme court Governor West,
after q careful review of the case, an
nounced that he saw nothing that
would warrant his interference with
the sentence of the court. Conse-
quently, there is believed to be little
or no chance for Webb to escape the
gallows.
Webb was convicted of killing Will
liam A. Johnson in the New Grand
Central Hotel in this city year ago
last June. The victim was shot and
then beaten to death with a black
jack and his body stuffed into a
trunk. The murdered man had ar
rived at the hotel from Spokane a
day or two before the crime, in COM
pany with Webb and a Mrs. Carrie
Kersh, who subsequently was proved
to be Webb's paramount
Johnson had about $1,000 in his
possession and it was to obtain this
that the murder was committed. The
evidence at the trial showed that af-
ter killing Johnson the body was
stuffed into trunk, the murderer
being assisted by the Kersh woman
The trunk was sent from the hotel to
the railroad station for shipment to
an interior point. At the station one
of the employees noticed a pool of
blood which had trickled from the
trunk and this led to the discovery of
the crime. .-
On the same day Webb and Mrs.
Hersh were taken into custody as
they were returning from an automo-
bile trip to suburban resort. On
Webb's person were found two watch
es, one Of which was identified as
Johnson's, and two handkerchiefs,
both bloodstained. On Mrs. Kersh
was found most of the money taken
from the victim. The subsequent
trials showed that Johnson's death
was planned by the couple with the
object of robbery. Mrs. Kersh being
the lure. The trial of Webb resulted
in his conviction of murder in the
first degree. The woman was found
guilty of manslaughter and sentence
ed to fifteen years in the penitenti-
airy.

No Games Played.

For the first time this year,
there were no baseball games in
the three big leagues yesterday.
In some instances there were no
games scheduled, while in the
other. cases, rain interfered. In
the American Association, there
was only one game scheduled, St.
Paul and Milwaukee, but this
game was played several days
ago and consequently the teams
enjoyed a rest. In the American
League Boston and Philadelphia
were scheduled to meet each 9TH
er, but it rained at Boston, and
consequently the only booked
card in this league had to be put
off. In the National league three
games were scheduled: Cincin-
natl at Brooklyn, St. Louis at
Philadelphia, but it rained in all
three places.

REFEREE SMITH VISITS GoTcH
Everything in Readiness for Big
Match Monday.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. I'D. Smith,
who is to referee the Gotch- Hacken-
schmidt wrestling match here on La
Dor day, went to Humboldt, Iowa. to
consult with Gotch about the rules.
Gotch's delay in coming to Chicago
necessitated the referees trip west
and as a result of Smiths journey the
last possibility of squabble at the
ringside probably will be eliminated.
Word from Gotch's camp was to the
effect that the Iowa grappler is in
splendid shape, and the tidings from
Hacks quarters were equally optimis-
tic. Gotch, it is possible, may be in
Chicago almost as soon as Smith re-
turns, for his advisers on the local
end say any minute may see the
break up Of the Iowa camp and a
shifting of the scene of work to
Chicago gymnasium.

BASEBALL WAR THREATENED
Scrap Between National Commission
and A. A. Is On.

Cincinnati, Sept. In a finding
minus all ifs and ands, and as plain
as it is firm, the National Baseball
commission today not only rejected
every demand made upon it by the
American association, but went fur
Their in stating that if the American
association decided not to operate un-
der the rules of organized baseball
that teams would be placed in every
city on that circuit.
While no mention of the league to
do battle with the American associa-
ton was made, yet it was implied to
an extent that could not be misunder-
stood The American association is
given until Sept. 10 to give an an
swer to the secretary of the commits
sion and upon his answer will hinge
the question that now stands out par
amount in the minds of baseball men,
namely, "Will there be a baseball
war"
In it's finding, the National Com
mission took particular pains to place
the brunt of the worry on the Shout
ders of the American association, and
it is now up to this body as to wheth-
er or not there will lbe war. Presi-
dent Thomas Chivington said:
81 intend to call meeting of the
American association in the very near
fnt,re, and until this matter is taken
up by my league l cannot say what
will happen"

Frank Schultz, of the Cubs, broke
his home-run bat, but found another
club and is once more slamming the
circuit clouts.
Pitcher "Wild Bill'' Donovan of the
Detroit Tigers, next to "Cy" Young,
is the Oldest player in active service
in the major leagues.
Tom Jones, the former Detroit
player now with Milwaukee, will
coach the Michigan University base
ball squad next spring.
Young Becker trimmed the White
Sox in Washington but the Sox got
back at him in Chicago, making
twenty hits for a total of 20.
The Athletics pitchers are now
going at top speed and the team that
is able to pass the champions will
surely be some ball team.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, the
sensational young twirler of the
Phillies has signed a three-year con-
tract with President Horace Fogel.
A novelty at the Polo grounds in
New York will be marble boxes. The

The spitball pitcher has won many
game. but it is a question whether
he has won any more for having de-
veloped the spitball. Maybe he has,
but pitchers of the first class who
don't use the moist curves and who
are just as capable as their damp de-
livery contemporaries are too numer-
GUS to mention. Such pitchers as Ford
and Walsh have done wonders with
the splitter, but with their physique,
knowledge of pitching and natural
ability wouldn't they have been fully
as effective in the long run had they
stuck to regular methods of serving
slants and shoots?
Anyway, it is striking fact that
in the biggest of all baseball prizes,
the post season series for the worlds
championship, spitball pitchers have
played but slight part. As matter
Of fact they have not been very prom.

CHANCE SEES REMNANT AHEAD
Says Team Will Win the 1911 Flag
in National League.

Chicago, Sept. Manager Frank
Chance wires that he is not only in
the National league race until the fin

mind that he will bring those Cubs
across winners
Which should be encouraging news
to the west side fans. For while this
last eastern invasion has not been the
most successful trip the Cubs ever
had, since they got out of New York
with the hot end of the bargain, still
when Chance is confident there is
hope.
And maybe it would not be amiss to
remark here what Chance thinks of
the situation. He was remarking be-
fore the departure of the team on this

home players. That is, they do not
play wonderful ball on their own
grounds" he was reminded. "True, -
said he. "But the answer to that is
that the Giants do not play great ball
on the road" =.
"But that does not dispose of Pitts
burg" he was reminded.
Every true, but we will best the
Pirates. After this eastern invasion
is at an end we will be on an equal
footing so far as the Pittsburg team
is concerned. Of course, if we go out
and lose the great majority of our
games on this trip and the Pirates
win the majority of theirs, then we
would be handicapped. But if we
can hold our own with Clarke's crew
then we will be all right
