Senator Tillman and the Bill.

The leading Democrat on the committee

whom / was not on good terms, because had
been obliged to cancel an invitation TO him to
dine at the White House on account OF his fav-
ing made personal assault in the Senate cham
Der on his colleague from South Carolina and
later l had to take action against him on
count of his conduct in connection with land
matters Senator Tillman favored the bill. The
Republican majority in the committee under
Senator Aldrich, when they acted adversely on
the BILL turned it over to Senator Tillman there
by making him its sponsor. The object was to
create what it was hoped would be an impossible
situation in view of the relations between Sem
ator Tillman and myself. l regarded the action
as simply childish. 1t was a curious instance Of
how able and astute men sometimes commit
blunders because of sheer inability to understand
intensity of disinterested motive in others.
did not care rap about Mr.. Tillmans getting
credit for the bill, or having charge of it. I
was delighted to go with him or with any one
else just so long as he was travelling my way
and no longer.

The Hepbur, Bill.
I. We not only secured the stopping OF rebates.
but in the Hepburn rate bill we were able to put
through measure which gave the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the first time real
control over the railways. There were two or
three amusing features in the contest over this
bill. All of the great business interests which
objected to governmental control banded to fight
it, and they were helped by the honest men of
ultra-conservative type who always dread change
whether good or bad. We finally forced il
through the House. In the Senate it was re-
ferred to committee in which the Republican
majority was under the control of Senator Al
drch, who took the lead in opposing the bill.
There was one Republican on the committee,
however, whom Senator Allrich could not con-
trol-Senator Dolliver, of Iowa.

Champion Has Hard Time
with Chicago Battler-
Whirlwind Finish.

Milwaukee. wissa9|Nov. 1o.-rreddie
Welsh Of Wales. lightweight champion
of the world, was held to a draw in a
fercely fought ten-round contest last
night. Under the law. a referees de-
cision ould not be given, but. it is the
opinion of the newspaper experts that
Charlie White of Chicago evened up
honors by his whirlwind finish. It
was a dazzling exhibition of boxing
Skill. The Chicagoan, bewildered by
the champions cleverness, did not get
warmed up to his task until near the
close of the fight.
White opened a wound over the
champions left eye and Welsh, part
~ blinded by the thin stream of blood,
was forced to back away and cover up
to escape Whites terrific rights and
lefts to head.
The first round was even, White
having the advantage of the second
and third. The champion outboxed
the Chicagoan in the fourth, fifth and
sixth, and the seventh was declared
even. Welsh had a shade in the
eighth, but honors in the ninth and
tenth went to the Chicago boy.
In the tenth White peppered the
elusive Briton with vicious right and
left blows to head, and forced him to
break ground.
White left the ring unmarked, while
Welsh left bleeding profusely from a
cut over his eye.

CLAIM CANT|L[0N

Reports from Omaha Says
He Has Lined up With
Winnipeg and Winona

Ii reports from Omaha, Neb., where
the association of minor leagues is
meeting this week. are true. M. E.

the Winnipeg and Winona clubs in
their fight against President John

regarding the lineup of the various
forces. At the outset of the scrap,
Grand Forks took a neutral stand.
Cantillon is quoted as saying: "Wi-

The report that Cantillon had lined

as a surprise as he was supposed to

N|NECAME SERIES
IS NOW THE plan
Want Longer Battle for the
World Title-Mack Says
Magnates have Agreed

Philadelphia. Nov. 10.-Nine games
instead Of seven to decide the worlds
championship and q considerable re.
auction In the scale Of prices to the
games have been decided upon by the
American league. The plan will be
presented to the National league
magnates at their annual meeting in
New York next month for ratification
and 1t is almost certain it will meet
with h same unanimous support that
was given by the American league in
Chicago last week.
The worlds series changes took I'D
considerable of the time. One or two
OF the maKnates were in favor Of
frightening the series to eleven
games. but it was thought that this
would be too long. that the strain on
the players would be too great to per-
init of them showing their best form
In so many games and that the in
terest Of h public would wan.
Players to Share in Five.
Nine games, the winner to be the
club taking the first five. and the
players to share in the first five instead
OF four, as Is now the case. a the
popular plan, and when the discus
sion ended it was found that the plan
met with unanimous support.
Manager Connie Mack returned
from the Chicago meeting yesterday.
When seen last night he was unwill-
ing to talk much. but admitted that
the increase of the number of games
and the plan to lower the prices had
been thoroughly gone over by the
magnates.
Mack F1avors Scheme.
IT am in favor of the plan," said
Mack" and 1 think it would be a good
thing. Some of the club owners would
like to make the series eleven games,
but I am in favor of nine. This would
give everybody who wanted to see the
games, or some of them, a chance, for
it Is almost certain hat the series
would not be won in five straight. The
chances are the series would last six,
seven or maybe eight games. and that
would give all a chance to see some Of

HARD WEEK AHEAD
FOR Hi GOPHERS

Minneapolis. Nov. 10.-Dr. H. L.
Williams and his Gophers set to work
In earnest yesterday to prepare for the
invasion of the Wisconsin eleven next
Saturday. The Gophers. with the ex-
ception Of Art Erdall, were in fair
shape. Scion was still lame. but look
ed to be capable Of getting into action
before Saturday. Long scrimmaze
drills and extra hour sessions Mt slg-
nails were on the program and with
the Gophers bearing a healthy re-
spect for the strength of the Wiscon-
sin eleven, it is certain no time will be
wasted this week at Northrop held.
In the event Erdall Is unable to play
Saturday, it is certain that either
Haedge or Diedrich will act as pilot
for the eleven. Both have had plenty
OF practice at the position and both
are capable football generals. Just at
present it looks as If the greatest fear
the Gophers should have of the Bads-
ers is their sheer strength AMI weight.

ments given out by President Charles

letics George w. Ehler Of Wisconsin.
Van Hise declared that he was not in
favor of any college athletic team

cause. Ehler argued along the same
line. declaring such a plan would be
impossible.
Coach Juneau and his lieutenants
will drive their cohorts at top speed
this week to fit the machine for the
Minnesota game. Juneau believes
that a good defense will be the best
defense against the Gophers with the
Minnesota shift and during the week
he will give his regulars plenty
chances to try themselves at breaking
up the famous play. Arlie Mucks is
expected to return to the squad this
