CENTRAL LEAGUE SEASON
CLOSES FOR THIS YEAR

South Bend Ind. Sept 2.-The Cen
trail league season of 1912 closes to-
day with all of the cities which start
ed the schedule last April. In view
OF the fact that the league is a twelve
club organization and predictions
were made freely by experienced base
ball men that the league could not
possibly survive because of its un-
weildly size, its career during the last
four months can be considered as be-
ing remarkable. The secret of the
league success lies in the forethought
of the directors who last winter rul-
ed that no city could start the season
without first making a deposit as a
guarantee that it would finish the sea-
son and meet all financial obligations.
This move prevented any of the clubs
from Withdrawing when they began
to lose money. But for the posting of
the guarantee, it is believed that no
less than four cities. Wheeling. Zanes-
vile, Canton and South Bend-would
have surrendered their franchises.
The season has probably been the
most turbulent in the ten years of the
Central leagues existence, less than
four clubs having succeeded in break
ing even. These clubs are Erie,
Youngstown, Dayton and Springfield.
Every other club has lost from So
600 to $4,000.

Hilles was born in GAINESVILLE, in

congress after the war. and had gone
back for three terms more after

Lincoln's time and as minister to ia

TO enter the campaign, called at re-
publican headquarters today. Speak
ing of the situation in Illinois, atter
qualifying as an old campaigner VINO
should know, he said.
"I believe that the Bull Moose move
ment in Illinois will dwindle from this
time. The action of Governor Dineen
in refusing to follow Roosevelt from
the convention caused all of the peo-
ple to stop and think. The third party
in Illinois is badly confused and all
at sea. Mr.. Roosevelt may obtain
$4,000 votes in the state. This VIII

against 100000 for Roosevelt and
Wilson, giving the state to Tart py

compiled this estimate are men VINO

convention in Illinois, and they gen.
orally know what they are talking

Edward O'Leary. a Butte fireman,

moved to a hospital. Six other fire
men We're overcome by smoke and
another was bruised by falling into
a basement.
For a long time the entire square
bounded by Main on the east. Park
on the south, Broadway on the north
and Dakota on the west, was serious
ly threatened. and many of the build
ings caught fire in places, but the
absence of wind aided the firemen,
and after fighting from 1880 o'clock

GOLDEN CHARGES 3 PENDLETON PLAYERS
WITH PERJURY, men RELEASED ON BAIL

In an effort to discredit his accus-
ers, Umpire Golden, who was sus-
pended by President Sweet of the
Western Tri-State league following
the prefering of charges of dishon-
esty, drunkenness and incompetency
by Manager Jesse Garrett of the Pen
dleton team, has sworn to complaints
charging Garrett, Phil Nadeau and
George Robinson, all of the Pendleton
team, with perjury The three men
were arrested and placed under $500
bonds each.
News of the new development in
the sensational imbroglio Vas receiv-
ed Saturday evening when Manager
Garrett notified the local club offici-
ais of the arrest and the refusal of
the Boise officials to accept the club
guarantee of the bonds Upon re-
ceipt of the news. arrangements were
made with the First National Bank
OF this city to guarantee the bonds
and the players We're. thereby, spared
the humiliation of going to Jail.
Golden bases his charge of perjury
on the affidavits filed by the three
men against him, charging that on
the night of Aug. he offered to sell
the Walla Walla-Pendleton game of
the following day for ten dollars. The
affidavits charge that the offer was
made in the presence of Nadeau and
Robinson in the Columbia bar of this
city. Golden denies all of the charg-
es, asserting he was sick on the eve-
ming and had no intentions of offici-
ating in the game of the following
day.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-09-02

Just why a prosecuting officer
would encourage the issuance of a
warrant with no more evidence of the
charge preferred than the denial of
the statements in an affidavit by the
man affected is not clear. Local at
torneys and court officials declare
that such an action is not at all Gus
tomary and entirely wrong. The
popular assumption is that the war
rants were issued at the instance of
Boise club officials or fans who were
wrought up over the situation.
AS far as the charges of perjury
are concerned. the local club is not
entertaining any fears. If necessary,
enough evidence can be secured to
substantiate the affidavits of the three
men beyond the possibility of doubt,
Though it is not known definitely here
that Golden made the statements al
legged on the night of Aug s, several
witnesses will testify that he made
such statements on the night of Aug
l. Inasmuch as it is known positive
ly that Golden was in the Columbia
bar with Nadeau and Robinson on the
night of Aug. 3. It is believed that he
repeated his offer there. However,
1t is admitted that the three players
might have made a mistake of date
in their affidavit which mistake, how
ever would not convict them of per-
jury and would in no way affect the
material allegations in their affidavit
This Is the professional opinion eS-
pressed by local court officials this
morning.

es of false pretense We're aimed
against Roosevelt and the progressive
party here today by Woodrow Will
son, democratic candidate for presi-
dent, in the first speech of the cam
paign in western New York.
Wilson defiantly charged that
Roosevelt and the progressives, while
proclaiming sympathy with the mass
es. are pledged to keep up the tariff
and perpetuate the trusts. Most of
the speech was devoted to Roosevelt.
Taft was ignored.
The gist of Wilson'S address was
that the tariff is the overwhelming is
sue of the campaign. He protested
against injecting class issue into the
fight. He insisted that all must look
at the platform from their own view
point, examine carefully the platforms
and the candidates and decide for
themselves which promises the great
