II will he make break with Battling
Nelson the afternoon OF December II.
when he meets Jack Redmond. the Mil
battle at New Orleans. Nelson's work
the last two months has been nothing
short of marvellous. considering what he
has gone through and the men he has

felt Of $500 for another contest with
AID Wolsast. but he had better wait until
after his battle with Redmond before
going after Wolsast. for the Milwaukee
boy Is pretty tough proposition and
will surely give the durable Dane the
splendid chance Of stopping the one

weather through twenty rounds with
Redmond and get the better OF the con-
bout with Wo!gast. Redmond has an
excellent chance to get TO the front here.
for should lie defeat Nelson il is likely
ne would he matched with Joe Mandot

will also be given an opportunity to show
before Jimmy Coffroth's club in San

Probably No Rule Changes.

AT the meeting Of the commission Pfesl-
dents Lynch and Johnson will name a
date for joint meeting of the rules COM
mittec Of the two big leagues President
Lynch, however said last week that
there was little probability of any
changes iii the rules.
Z He said the present game Just about
suited the fans. and there was little use
tampering with anything that was giving
satisfaction. Lynch scoffed at tn" Iumo!'
that john Ward. Il member OF the Ma
tional League rules committee would pre-
pose that the second foul strike be elirni-
mated. go
Il read that story Lynch said, but
I doubt if Ward ever said d word OF 1t.
The fans are getting all the batting they
want Early last spring much fault was
found with the new ball because it was
TOO lively and there was too much bat

No Doubt of Concessions.

Tlicle is no doubt that all the demands
of tEc minors will be granted. At its re-
cent meeting tho National League form
ally instructed Garry Hermann and
President Lynch, its members Oh the ma
tional commission, To vote for all the de-
mands made by the National Association.
The American League voted to leave the
matter entirely To Ban Johnsons iudg-
mcnt, though there was no opposition
whatever to the concessions demanded by
the minors.
While the national commission Is IN
session in Cincinnati til" board of dircc-
tors Of the National Association Will he
in attendance. After the commission
formally adopts the proposed changes in
the national agreement the commission
and associa ton will have joint meet
ing where the revised agreement Will DC
signed by all parties.
Though d big share of the commits
sion's business will be taken up with tie
National Association. there are many
other subjects which will demand atten-
ton.
The worlds series ticket scandal IN
New York and Philadelphia is again
slated to come up, and there is a strong
possibility that the commission will an
nounce its finding. However. II a finding
is given out it is hardly likely that it will
be sensational.
It is probable that both the New York
and Philadelphia. clubs will be Nindicatcd
Of any dealings with scalpers.

Thinks T. X. May Awaken With
Rude Jolt From JambOree.
After serving two consecutive
terms as president of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt declared
himself as being opposed to the third
term idea, and recommended William
Howard Taft as being a man fully
qualified to carry out the work that
he had hoped to accomplish. The
masses believing Mr.. Roosevelt to be
man worthy Of their confidence,
accepted Mr.. Taft and elected him
cupies, with the understanding that
Mr. Roosevelt would never aspire for
the office again. The truthfulness
of Mr. Roosevelt's declarations may
be measured by the stand he has
taken in the present presidential
campaign. Mr.. Taft being one of
those good natured sort of fellows,
never dreamed that Teddy was SPAR
ring for an opening to land on his
solar plexus with the big stick, until
the SOOuS was dCludIly u6llNSISO
After being almost counted out of
the game, the president rallied and
came back stronger in the second
round and landed fairly on Teddy's
jaw The fight has been of the
whirlwind type, with no decision as
yet. We do not question Teddy's
ability to bag big game in South Af-
rica, but we do question his good
judgment, when he tries to fatter
the American people into believing
that he (Theodore Roosevelt) is the
only man in all the land. To man
up tree it looks as though Teddy
has been a victim of nightmare,
and that when he awakes from his
protracted jamboree, that he will dis
cover to his own humiliation, that
he has been playing before an empty
house.

as the club would lose nothing in the
event that they did not do so. il was
urged that the company be given the

Fourth of July Celebration.
Considerable discussion was brought
about by the question of whether or
not Dallas should celebrate the Ma
tons natal day. II was said that
some Of the business men wanted a
celebration. but several Of those pres
ent expressed themselves as being
opposed to il. and thought that the
energies OF the city should be given
TO making the fall fair a success.
permitting other towns to hold cele-
brations il they so desired. A motion
finally Was passed. recommending
that the city hold a celebration and
that Mayor Craven call a mass meet
ing Of the business men TO make the
necessary arrangements. II was de-
cided best. however. by the club that
the organization take no part in the
celebration. as a club. In taking this I
action u was suggested that those
in the city who wanted a celebration
should handle the AFFAIR. as the club I
already had considerable work on its /
hands.

meeting that the mass meeting would /

FAMILY NOT IN POVERTY
Friend COrrects Statement Implied
in Observer Story.


Editor Observer:-In your issue OF
The Observer for last week you pub
lished an item relative to the family
of j. M. Warkentin, who lost their
little son by death a few days ago.
The item mentioned implies that
the family are poverty stricken,
which is a mistake. True they are
poor, but are not objects of charity.
They have been here from the East
for a year. The husband worked in
the saw mill in Dallas for some time
last winter. They moved out of
town to work for Mr.. A. Buhler, be-
cause the husband had to work and
he preferred the country as he could
live more cheaply and wanted his
children out of town.
The little boy who died has been
sick ever since he was ten days old
with epieptic fits. He did not "die
on a cot" but in a bed. THE family
are not penniless," as they have
plenty to eat, drink and wear, and
have most of their furniture stored.
having only what they need in the
tent Mr.. Buhler is now building a
house for them, he has always in
tended doing so. but it takes time to
do everything, hence their living in
tent
The family feel hurt over the mis-
representation, so If you will please
correct the item they will feel very
grateful. A FRIEND

of brandy comprised the sum total
of his imbibitions while on his trav-

drinking and that he makes that
statement with the Doctors consent
T. r. says he never touches whiskey
and never connected with a highban

should try one of these decoctions.
1t is noticeable. however. that he
says nothing regarding the amber
liquid that usually comprises the
cargo Of schooners which success
