DEATH OF OLD RESIDENT
James Madden Succum0s to Cancer of
the Throat

The death of James Madden, one of
Wausau's old and very highly respect
ed residents, came to many of his old
friends as a shock, for they did not
know the seriousness of his condition.
Mr.. Madden first felt that all was not
right with him, early last fall. Later
he went to Rochester, Mimi, to the
Drs. Mayo. He made two trips be-
fore the case was diagnosed as cancer
of the throat. 1t was known by Mr..
Madden, the relatives and close
friends that death was only ques-
tion of time, but deceased bore his
affliction with the courage and forti-
tude that had always characterized
his life. He was a man whom all
held in very high regard for his ster-
ling worth and ever kindly disposi-
-tion.
James Madden was born in Ottawa,
Canada, sixty-four years ago. He was
united in marriage in that city in
1877 to Katherine Mckinley, and in
1881 they came TO this country and
directly to Wausau, and have resided
here ever since. He engaged in log
ging and numbering, but suffering
severe injury which disabled one of
his limbs he went into the hotel busi-
ness-his hotel being located at the
east end of Washington street near
the st. Paul passenger depot, and
which he conducted with success un-
til the location of the depot was
changed four blocks further north,
and he then retired.
He is survived by his widow and
eight children-Mrs. H. r. Cotton of
La Crosse; Mrs. ID. +. O'Leary of
Minneapolis; Mrs. G. l.. Davidson and
Norah Madden of Chicago, and Jay,
Harry, George and Walter Madden of
this city.
The funeral was held Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock from st. James
Catholic church, the Rev. Father
Brennan officiating. Interment was
made in st. Joseph's cemetery.

12-CLUB LEAGUE TO Be
CHECK ON OUTLAWS
Detroit Cleveland, Pittsburg and Cincinnati to BE
Added to American Association.

Continuous baseball in Detroit. Cleve-
land. Cincinnati and Pittsburg and the
expansion of the American association
TO twelve clubs That this will be a
reality In less than two years was made
known at the closing session of the
American league at the Congress hotel
yesterday afternoon.
The announcement came from an au-
thoritative source. Magnates in both
the American and National leagues
probably will deny 1t. for policy's sake.
Nevertheless. II is true.
It's q blow at the "upstarts' behind
the third league movement. It's more
than that--it's an admission that base
ball pays better In cities having two
teams than in those possessing but one.
Big league owners in Cincinnati,
Pittsburg, Cleveland and Detroit figure
that IL IS senseless to have their ex-
pensive new ball parks idle for almost
500 days every year. They have come
to the conclusion that a city of any
size should be able to support baseball
every day during that part OF the year
when the weather conditions make the
game possible.
SO the American association is going
to have four more clubs. probably in
1918. AMI they are going to be placed
In the four cities named with the con-
sent of the major leagues.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-02-16

1t is impossible at the present time
TO name the owners OF the new clubs.
They will be men who have served the
game faithfully and are deserving of
good jobs" st. Louis and Chicago Will
be left as they are. They have con-
tinuous bali now, in the baseball sea-
son. and Presidents Comiskey and Muir
pry are we'll satisfied with present con-
ditions.
But Frank Navin at Detroit Garry
Hermann at Cincinnati. Barney Drey-
fuss a Pistsburg and Charley Somers
at Cleveland are tired of contemplat-
ing bright sunshine on days. almost
100 days. when their teams are out Of
town and there's nothing coming in at
the plants on which they have spent
perfectly good money and plenty of 1t.
Cleveland and Detroit are in the CO.
lumbar leagues territory and Pitts
burg and Cincinnati are we'll thought
of by the promoters of the new outlaw
circuit. But there would be little
chance for the Columbian leagues sue
cess in those cities If two clubs, with
the advantage of protection. were al
ready in them.
1t is too late to put the change into
effect this year. But It will be surpris-
ing IL the American association doesn't
add on the four cities In 1918. and the
expansion will be with the full consent
and favor OF the major leagues

RAICEVICH SAILS
