WAR AMONG GIANTS.
Merkle and Wiltse May Go to st. Louis
for Konetchy.

Pittsburg, Aug. 14.-Local baseball
men gave credence to a tip that John
McGraw, manager of the Giants, is
dealing with st. Louis for Edward
Konetchy, the ST. Louis first baseman,
and has offered Merkle and George
Wiltse to the Cardinals. Since the golf
squabble in which Merkle was in
volved, along with "Christy' Mathew
son, McGraw and Merkle have not
been the best of friends.
After the Pirates hit Mathewson for
seven runs in an inning, following a
golf game in the morning between
Merkle and Mathewson, McGraw for
babe both to play the game again in
the baseball season. Merkle and
Mathewson ignored the order and in
CURED McGraw's displeasure.
With McGraw and Merkle quarrel
ing, the manager charging the player
with insu bordination, conditions are
not regarded as being productive of
effective team work.
The belief exists here that in spite
of denials there was trouble in the
Giants camp at Cincinnati. The re-
port that one of his players battered
McGraw's nose is believed here be-
cause it is known that in Pittsburg the
Giants were not happy family"

Brooklyn, Aug. 14.-Another invasion
of western teams opened auSpic1ouSly
for the Brookiyns by a double defeat
of P1ttsburg. The first game went 10
innings after the locals had tied the
score off Camnitz in a ninth inning
rally after he had relieved Robinson.
The winning run came in on scratch
hits by Daubert and Fisher and a long
Single by Callahan, up as a pinch hit
ter. W. Wagner, who relieved Curtis
after the ninth, is credited with the
game.
Camnitz also lost the second game.

made his temperance in this contest
and was wild and ineffective. After
passing Cutshaw and Stengel in the
third, Camnitz relieved him.
This was another of Brooklyn's string
of holidays arranged to commemorate
the first year at Ebbetts field. 1t was
dedicated to the MckeeVer brothers,
who celebrated their first years as
baseball owners. There was a brass
band and a double header between the
Pirates and the Superbas, but threat
ening skies cut down the crowd.
Brooklyn won the first game after
a ten inning tussle. Pittsburg led by
to up to the ninth. when the dodg-
ers rallied and tied up the score, knock
ing Robinson out of the box. Scratch
hits by Daubert and Fisher and a long
single by Callahan, pinch hitting for
w. Wagner, scored the winning run.

BOOST HICKS FOR COACH.
Kansas Students Would Honor Clever
End.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug 14.-Al Hicks,
one of the cleverest ends who ever
played on a University of Kansas
team, is being doomed for assistant
football coach at the university this
year to fill the vacancy caused by
the recent resignation of Leonard
Frank.
Hicks played end on the Kansas
teams of 1902-3-4 and is a pupil of
the Kennedy-Mosse system of coach
ing that turned out the famous all
victorious team of 1904. His friends
believe he would be highly acceptable
to Head Coach Mosse- He is at pres
ent farming near Beloit, Kan, and his
friends say he will accept an offer.
No word has as yet been received
from either Manager ". o. Hamilton
or Coach Mosse as to the probable
successor to Frank.

McGill proba bly, figures that a sale of

ping stone to the acquisition of a fran

hourished in Toledo of late because the
club is owned by a major league mo-
gul and the fans have been clamoring
for a change. Should McGiIl part COM
pany with the Western, he plans to
take Hendricks with him as a manager
at Toledo, and in event the switch ma
terializes it is nothing more than is
coming to the Denver mogul and his
manager to admit that they are the
most successful pair, so far as per-
tains to the acquisition of remnants,
that the Western league has known in
long string of years.

Denver can have Buck O'Brien if
Denver wants him; but Denver does
not.
During a chat with Prince Charley
Corniskey a few days ago, President
McGilI of Denver said the White Sox
owner told him he is ready to make
a trade which would involve one or
two of the Denver stars.
Buch has not done well this year
No less a person than Christy Math-
ewson has said that it was O'Brien' S
fracas with Joe Wood that Disrupted
the Boston champions, while it is
known that Buck has had trouble with
Callahan since he has been with the
White Sox.
In fact, it appears that Hendricks
is the only magnate who can handle
him satisfactorily.

he claims due him for last year?''
The answer was in the affirmative.

MARSHALL WARNS ON
 SPECIAL PRIVILEGE
Says Temper Of American People Will No Longer Brook Oppression

NEW YORK, April 12.-Vice- Pres ident Marshall in serving q warning tonight to men of vast wealth and on special privilege" said that the temper of the American people had reached d point where they no longer would brook oppression. He told the members of the National Democratic club the spirit of the Trust .vas such that unless reckoned with the
 institutions of the government might
 be jeopardized and the country re-
 vert to paternalism or turn to so-
 ciaism.
 Current opinion holds justly or
 unjustiy," he said. The welfare of
 the people of this country depends
 not a little upon the conduct of cer-
 tain men of this city of New York.
 I have concluded therefore to beard
 the lion in his den and hope that he
 may hear.
 Present advantage shuts our eyes to the permanency of institutions It is not what we are nor what we stand for. but what can we make will come to be the measure of gov ernmental duty and individual con duct And yet despite this theory life, hunger and longing for happi- ness are abroad in the land. Along with general prosperity come the marvellous billing up of col losal private fortunes. Fortunes supplemented by the general diffu- sion of knowledge have made large bodies of the people restive. Desire of the people for a greater equality of opportunity and enjoy ment is more and more the cause of men coming to the belief that so- ciaIiam alone can open up and guar antee this equality Marshall assailed the protective tariff as one of the principal causes of concentration of wealth and called on his hearers to support President Wilson's policies so that the 1ndi vidualistic democracy of Thomas Jef- ferson may, not be destroyed"
