Diamond Jim Sets
New Standard at
White Sulphur

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. w
VA, Dec. MANY in the big throng
that came down to the New Green
brier for the Thanksgiving Mondays
have remained over. and NUMBER
have planned to remain until late In
the month. when there will be several
large Christmas parties at the hotel
and house parties at the estates near
by.
James Buchanan Brady, of New
York. Familiarity known as Diamond
jim" who has Just completed the cure
here, was the most notable of the en-
tertainers during the Thanksgiving
festivities. and Mr.. Brady has set a
new standard here for hosts, dancers,
and those who take the cure.
While. here, the daily program OF
the "big"New Yorker" started In at 8
A. NJ. with a taunt of from six to ten
miles over the mountain trails before
breakfast. after which several hours
were devoted to his daily bath at the
Kurhaus, and drinking the waters at
the spring, TO which Mr.. Brady made
a daily pilgrimage just before lunch
con. His afternoons and evenings were
devoted TO dancing and entertaining,
and among all the society chaps, maid
and matrons, there wasn't one who
had anything on Mr.. Brady when It
came to dancing all the newest steps,
from the lame duck and the
Kitchen sink" to the Partisan Make,
and go far above the dancers here was
Mr.. Brady that he was requested
daily to teach prominent society maids
and matrons the more Intricate of the
new steps.
Mr.. Brady set new standards for
society hosts who thought that they
knew how to entertain here on lavish
scale. At Luculian feasts In the
Tudor. Wistaria and conservatory
room at New Greenbrer. Mr.. Brady
handed out souvenir trifies" Of gold
lined and fitted up travelling cases, i'm
ported tewel-studded animals and
other favors A special orchestra fur
nished the music for his parties and
his floral decorations were notable
even here, where a reputation for
thousand dollars worth of flowers at
dinner for sixty has made White
sulphur known nation wide for the
magnificence of it's entertainments.
Mr.. Brady's guests were among the
most distinguished of the visitors here,
families OF members Of the diplomatic
corps, prominent New York city Of
ficials, bankers. horse sho1 officials
and society generally having been rep.
resented in his dinner companies.

Winter League
Out of Existence

CHICAGO. Dec. THE national
commission has not abandoned it's eff
forts to suppress the evil OF publish
ing baseball articles alleged to have
been written by ball players, accord
ing to President Johnson. OF the
American league. who yesterday
branded as fakes articles recently
published purporting to have come
from Manager McGraw. Of the New
York Giants, aboard the steamer on
which the worlds tourists sailed for
Japan last month.
IF The practice continues" said the
American league executive. 1--WE shall
officially brand these articles as
fakes. Then If the newspapers con-
tinue publishing them, the public
need not be deceived"
The complicated case of Outfielder
KaVanagh, who has owed allegiance
Jointly to the White Sox. the Fed
eral league and the Green Bay team,
Of the WlsconsIn-Illin league, is
likely to be settled by order for the
player to report to the Green Bay
team next spring, prepared TO fulfll
the contract with that team which
he jumped last year TO play with the
Chicago Federal league team. The
player himself brought his case to the
commissions attention by demanding
one-fourth the price President Comis-
key. of the White Sox. paid to the
Green Bay club for Kavanagh's re-
lease. That price was $4,000.
Mordecai Brown. of the Cincinnati
Reds was IN conference for some
time with President Gilmore. of the
Federal league, and discussed terms
whereby the three-fingered star might
be tempted to assume the manage
ment of the local Independent team.
Nothing definite came of the confer
epce. as Brown desired to take the
matter under consideration.
Secretary Rickart. OF the Federal
league. branded as a Joke the report
from Pittsburg. that Dave Fultz had
been elected president of that league,
and would assume the office in the
open as soon az certain duties In con-
nection with the Players fraternity
were performed. ut is evident some
newspaper man In Pittshurg is badly
In need Of Christmas money. and Is
trying TO get 1t, said Rickart. There
Is absolutely no truth in the report"
