New League Not Wanted.

What is your opinion of the Federal
League movement?"
I'm order to establish circuit that can
live the Federal League promoters must
have at least 100000. There is no de-
mand for this organization. for the base
ball public is plentifulIy supplied with
amusement by the two major leagues.
The costly stadiums In the various cities
afford such accommodations that the pub
lie will not patronize cheaper plants.
THE players under contract to the Ma
tional and American leagues are re-
ceiving big salaries and they know 1t. In
order to entice some Of them to jump the
Federal League would be compelled to
put up increased salaries in cold cash and
guarantee pay for more than one or two
years. Even then ! doubt If sensible
players would dare to run risks. The
Federal League this year Is run on a
cheap basis The best players receive
500 month. That Is why the outlaw
promoters haven't been driven to the
wall
When the American League broke into
organized base ball conditions were much
different than now. The National League
had abandoned several good cities and the
club owners had become unpopular with
the public and the players. There was
room for a second major league circuit
and Ban johnson took advantage of it.
Johnson and his hackers had real money
and the rest was easy"
Have you seen Chappelle. the $1S,5O0
outfielder?"
mot yet but / cannot make myself
believe that any minor league player is
worth that much money! I'd rather give
$1s.5OO for three promising pitchers. yet
that would be paying too big price.
Good pitchers are more valuable than
good outfielders any day in the week"
DO you believe that Chance will have
a winner in time?''

your thumbnail, a little cell gone
wrong-that was what caused all the
trouble to John Tornow, the BEAST
MAN" of Washington. That brain
cell murdered eight men, terrorized
territory the size of Ohio and cost a
county thousands of dollars.
There was nothing terrible or fear
full in the beast man as he sat, dead,
propped up against a tree. Only

Yet heNlooked the beast man he

John Tornow, the beast man of
the Olympic mountains" died as he
had lived-a savage. The madman'
who for three years held the wilder
ness of Western Washington against
the forces of law and order was
killed the other day in battle with
three men, two of whom were slain.
John Tornow was in many respects
the most remarkable outlaw of mod
ern times. Born on a ranch in the
Upper Satsop valley, in the heart of
i the forest, Tornow began at the age
of IL to spend his time in the woods.
He hated the routine and discip-
line of the farm. His hair and whisk-
ers were long and matted. The skin
of his neck and. cheeks, where they
showed, was almost black and crust
ed and scaling. His hands were like
talons, his finger nails like claws.
His rifle lay beside him-the rife
with which he killed Lathrop and
Blair, who lay nearby. There was one
cartridge left in the magazine.
