Peoria, H., Sept. 15.-To top off

Peoria baseball club during the sea-

was received here yesterday by Presi-
dent Meidroth that Max Flack would
sc unahI- to play agai.I Ills season
and that because of his ooor condi-
ton indianapolis had recalled all ne
gotiations for his purchase at $3.50.
the. Offices of the Indianapolis club
Flack's physician had ordered him to
stay out of the game for the remain
der Of the season and the little gard
ener refused to report to Indianapolis.
Manager Kelly of the Indianapolis
team jumped into ST. Louis and ex-
smined into the Flack case, but was
unable to reach an agreement with
the former Peoria player, who was
determined to follow his physicians
orders. In consequence the sales
papers held by the Indianapolis club
have been returned and the PEORIA
Amusement company is just $3.50
poorer than had been figured upon at
| the close of the season.
With the return of the sales papers
Indianapolis intimated they would like
first chance to purchase Flack next
/ spring should he return to the game
/ in anything like the form he displayed
during the 1913 playing season. In
event of the fulfillment of this posi-
bility, the Peoria club would be no
loser by the deal and might perhaps
benefit by holding out for a stronger
price.

SEASON RECORD
OF INDIGO HOSE
Post Mortem Analysis of Dav-
export Clubs Performance
During Summer.

Davenport, the fourth team in the
standing at the close Of the Three-I
league season, was picked as the win
ner Of the flag last winter and spring
During the first two months the team
appeared to be all that was claimed
for It, but after that it failed to be a
serious contender for first place. With
out doubt the sale OF Catcher Cole
man was a big factor in checking the
clubs fine work, and II is very prob
able that II Dan O'Leary had been able
TO step into the breach when big Rob
ert left, the conteam would have con-
tinued being a contender. However,
CLeary was developing Peters, and
in taking his chance on making a
catcher out Of the big boy, he sacrificed
his chances for the pennant
Davenport took the lead on April
30, but two days later had to get back
into second place again On the eighth
and ninth Of May il was on top again,
only to slip back into second place
once more. From May IA until July
3 the team held first place and the
fight seemed between Davenport and
Dubuque. Then the team began to slip
and the rest of the season it was fight
ing for first division berth. By fin
ishing strong at home the team nosed
out Decatur for fourth place
At home the Blue Sox did almost as
well as Quincy did on its own grounds,
winning AZ and losing %, but on the
road the showing was weak, as only
q games out of 81 were won. Up to
June l the team won q and lost IA.
During June its record was 1914, DIS
ing July 1919. during August 1917,
and during September 6-3. The rec
ord Of the teams work against each
OF the other seven teams at home and

PELKEY "STEWED;"
FAKE" STORY N. G..

Calgary, Alberta, Sept. 15.-After a
conference with Tommy Burns, his
manager, Arthur Pelkey, heavyweight
boxer and the second rlfn " the ring
when Lutne- McCarty was killed here
several months ago, last night issued a
statement in which he retracted a
confession" recently made a. Port
land, Ore.
In that statement Pelkey declared
Burns and he had faxed a match
at Calgary last spring. Pelkey &c
clared he was under the influence OF
LIQUOR wnen he signed the Portland
statement
The statement issued by Pelkey "to
the sporting world said in part:
my story from Portland, Ore, say
ing that my contest with Burns was
fake, that he treated me mean,
and cheated me out of money is en-
tirely false. Burns has been my best
friend since ! have been in the fight
ing game
Pelkey declared he signed such
statement at Portland under the di
rection of the sporting editor of
Fol tland paper, who dictated the let
ter. Il had just come from the hos.
pital in Los Angeles and was sick,
the statement says. when | took the
loaf to Portland l was advised to take
some brandy while aboard, and as
had not been in the habit of taking
liquor it put me in state never was
in before. l was Influenced to do Sc
by Would-be friends under conditions
in which / would have done almost
anything.
In conclusion let me say Burns has
settled everything satisfactorily witt
me and does not owe me a cent. Burns

BARGAINS IN TITLES.
Plenty of Foreign Countries Whore
You May Find Them.

Plenty of Foreign Countries Whore
You May Find Them.
Although foreign countries do not
openly advertise their readiness to DO
business with those who aspire to affix
handle to their names. the fact is
generally recognized that a consider
able traffic in titles is carried on.
The tiny republic OF San Marino,
which does a roaring trade in titles of
nobility at fixed rates. devotes a great
part of the profits to the maintenance
of its founding and orphan asylum.
1t WI make you and all your heirs or
only your male heirs, If such Is your
desire, duke for $1,000 or an earl for
$3.50.
An idea of the traffic done in titles
may be gathered from the fact that n
German firm trading in Sweden sends
out a circular marked Private and
confidential" offering to secure any or
ders and decorations required.
The orders of ST George vary in
price in different countries. In Sicily
it costs 1915 and in Bavaria more than
twice as much. but you may become a
Knight of Montenegro for as little
as $50
The king of Greece does rather a
prosperous business with the Order Of
the Redeemer. which can be had for
$3.50. while Servia bestows the Order
Of Takova for like sum. The Prince
of Monaco has for disposal the Order
of ha FOR which hn ocI-c C1SE
for $50 less one can secure the Order
of the Sun of Nasr-es-din from the
shah of Persia.
Although titles cannot be bartered in
England it is, of course. an open Sc
cret that a generous contribution to
place in the peerage Apropos of
this, it is interesting to note the fact
that Franz Kossuth. the son of the IA
nous patriot. charged the Hungarian
government with receiving no less than
81 ,450 900 by selling baronet titles.
Another phase of this traffic in titles
is revealed by carefully worded adver-
tisements which have appeared in Lon
don papers from time to time. offering
for sale the titles of impoverished no.
BILE families of France. 1t Is not so long
ago since three titles. two OF which
were French-one a count and the 9th
er a marquis respectively-and one OF
sale in London. the prices ranging
from 100000 to 500.000.-Londou

BINCLES BUT LOSE
Cheney Bests Marquard and
Fromme, 7-0-Evers and
Snodgrass Are Chased. !.

Chicago. Sept. 15.-Every now and
then baseball produces freak battle.
Such game, fraught with heavy hit
ting, spectacular fielding, umpire bait
ing and fierce fighting, was staged on
the West Side yesterday. The fiuky
part treats with the shutout of those
cocky Giants, Z to O.. Fourteen times
while hostilities ragged members of
the Broadway clan touched of clean
swats, and once an error was injected,
giving a runner his life at first, yet
none scored. Twenty-Five thousand
royal rooters witnessed this big league
phenomenon, then dispersed in rec
ord time.
Explanations galore must of course
follow a strugglS of this sort. Three
times during the early rounds oppor-
tunity trailed with McGraw's betitled
troupe, but in each case the New York
attack was torn to bits by some gilt
edged local defensive tactics. But for
this backing, Big Larry" Cheney new
er could have weathered the milling.
When Manager Evers literally threw
himself out of the game while the
first batter of the afternoon was stand.
ing at the plate the Giants chortled
with glee, believing the Trojans had
lost their real leader. But as the
innings whisked by with the home
guard battling desperately and all the
while nursing their one-run margin,
| McGraw's gang awakened to the fact
that the West Siders even without
Zim and Manager John can play some
| sterling baseball.
The Punishment of Evers followed
a heated verbal clash between the
Trojan and Umpire Rigler The lat
ter asserted Johnny had soiled the
ball thrown into play when batteries
were announced. When another pill
was called for Evers, standing at the
plate, in the midst of his argument
became suddenly excited and deliber-
ately pegged it over the grandstand,
whereupon he was chased to the show
er bath. John will be a lucky chap
if he isn't handed three-day suspen-
sion. Snodgrass was fired for protest
ing decision by Umpire Byron, who
called the former out in an attempted
steal two minutes after Evers had
been evicted. Score:
