Denver Believes Western League Is
Faster Than Glass A.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 5.-AIl ball play
ers in Denver who have seen the teams
play in the various leagues throughout
thu country consider the majority of the
clubs in the Western league fast
enough for Glass AA-the International
American Association and the Pacific
Coast league.
Along this line, then, the coming con-
test at Broadway park between the
Grizzlies and Minneapolis should be
toss-up, with the Bears on the long end
on account of playing on their home
grounds.
Next season, if Denver should again
cop the Western flag, a post-season
between the winners in the Inter-
na tional American, Pacific Coast and
Western leagues is already being sug-
gested by base ball lovers. That such
a tournament would be a success, is
beyond question. We are just waking
I'll to the fact that Denver in on the
baseball map of the United States, and
nothing is too high for us now.

TO RETURN
Jacobs MuItiplane Will Be
Brought Back to Kansas.
I'll. w. Jacobs of Topeka in
England for Foreign Patents.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 5.-The Jacobs
multiplane probably will not be
brought back to Atchison before next
spring. 1t is at present in storage
in New York city where it was taken
last April for the International Avia-
ton exposition. H. w. Jacobs figured
some on selling an interest in it to
an eastern manufacturer, but the deal
failed to go through. Mr.. Jacobs is
certain that the machine will fly, but
at present he is busy pushing other
inventions and has decided to let the
flying machine business alone for a
few months.
H. w. Jacobs, of Topeka, at pres
ent is in England where he is attend
ing to foreign patents on his inven-
lions. He will visit other parts Of
Europe before returning to Kansas
next December. He now has nothing
TO do but look after his own bust
ness, as he resigned his position as
assistant superintendent of motive
power with the Santa Fe last July.
He was offered the place of superin-
tendent of motive power which pays
200 and $4,000 per year.
FRANK Jacobs, who has assisted his
brother H. w. Jacobs, in the Plan
ming and construction of the models
or his inventions, has been in To-
peka for the last month doing deyeI-
opment work. He is in Atchison for
topeka where he will remain until the
return of his brother.

x. q. REGENTS TERMS. EXPIRE
University Facing Scare of All Direc-
tors Leaving at One Time.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 5.-A situation
unique in the history of the University
of Kansas is presented in the fact that
the term of every member of the
board of regents will expire at the
same time in 1913. For the purpose
of assuring a certain amount of ex-
perience in the body and to help in
carrying out policies extending over a
number of years, the board was orig
inalIy made up so that one part of the
membership retired at one time. But
developments at the last session of the
legislature threw the system out of
joint and all the regents will go out
together next year. Whoever is elect
ed governor will be able to reorganize
the board entirely if he so desires.
The plan of having a single board
for all three big state educational in
situations came very near adoption at
the last legislature. The matter was
still in question when the session
ended.
f"The present board of regents is a
most efficient one, and the interests
of the university would be best served
by its reappointment," said Chancellor
Strong TODAY.

merge the plants in Lawrence has
been agitated ever since the combina-

the valuation of the plants for that

BOSTON CAN'T SIT STILL
Bean Town Marking Time Waiting for
Worlds Series.

Boston Oct. 5-With the close of
the regular baseball season in this
city today Boston's enthusiasts began
to mark time to the opening of the
worlds series between Boston and
New York championship teams of the
American and National Leagues re-
spectively.
Successful applicants for tickets
who have not called for the paste
boards during the last two days lined
up this morning for the distribution.
It was expected that more than half
the total of $1,000 reserved seats open
to application will have been deliv-
cred and paid for when the CLUB
shuts up its ticket shop for the day.
The Boston fans who retain the
name Royal Rooters" under which
the Hubs world championship team
was cheered and sung to victory
against Pittsburg 8 years ago, ar
ranged today for a special train to
take them to the opening game at New
York There would be more thal
three hundred in the party. Clubs,
other combinations and individuals
also made their arrangements for
train accommodations. While all
ton, the Red Sox were playing the last
game of their season at Philadelphia.
Two days remain before the opening
of the worlds series in which the team
will prepare generally for the test to
come. Word was received from Phil
adelphia today that members of the
team are in good shape. Both Gard
ner and Carrigan have recovered from
their injuries and the physical cOndi-
ton of the other players is said to be
good.
Quotations on the reserved seat
tickets for three games which cost ) >
are about $40 bid and $50 and $35
asked. On the betting wagers gener-
ally have reduced the New York end
largely as a result of the recovery of
Boston's injured players and the odds
on Boston are 10 to and better.
