was made by Judge Morrison of a
statement published in a Minneapolis
newspaper last week and attributed
to County Attorney Robertson of Min
neapolis to the effect that the second
graft case will end I'm a mistrial be-
cause a juror not qualified to serve
under the law has been accepted and
sworn as q juror in this case.
IF the remarks attributed to him
in a Minneapolis paper are correct
then he is ignorant of the law in
volyed in this case" said the court,
and we will try to proceed without
the remarks or wisdom of the county
attorney of Hennepin county"
The Minneapolis newspaper quoted
Mr.. Robertson as follows:
The law is specific concerning the
disqualifications of convicted persons
for jury service and do not see how
a verdict i'm the cas- could stand. The
constitution provides that only citi
zens shall sit as jurors. In this case
there are but eleven. Buschman's cit

convicted and 1t has not been re

Just how the purse will be split
has not been given out, but, as Clab
by was holding out for a guarantee
believed to be in the neighborhood
of $4,000, it is certain he receives a
large slice of coin for his ten rounds
of work. The men behind the fight
expect to attract 100000 house and
get back some of the dough they
have lost in staging recent encoun-
tiers.
Frank MuIkern, another MiIWau-
kee promoter, is attempting to put
on a mill between hghtweights the,
night of Jan. II. He wants Charlie

ing that the Chicagoan will draw well

bunk recently dealt out by Ban
Johnson, president of the American !
league.

Washington, Big Ban has been dis :
creetly silent, but his remarks when Z
the star pitcher first jumped to the
Federals are still fresh in memory.
They were putrid enough not to re- ,
main fresh long, however. ,
johnson (Ban) came out in long ,
interview and said that Johnson. =,
(Walter) was damaged goods" and >
had outlived his usefulness with
Washington He made the fat state
ment that Walters popularity was
gone in the capital city and that he
would have been traded if he had :
stuck to organized baseball.
All of Bans remarks tended to be- d,
little the ability and honor of Walter. 4,
But before leaving this city yester-
day Clark Griffith gave out few re- =.
marks that indicated Johnson (Ban)
was merely having one of his usual ;
oratorical hemorrhages and couldn't !,
be held accountable for the words he =,
spouted. :
For Griff positively said there was :
no intention now on the part of the
Washington club to trade Walter In =,
fact, Griff seemed to thing he had :
signed a pretty fair pitcher for the r
next three years.
This statement was in direct con- >
trast to the remarks of both Ban
and Griff when Walter jumped.
1t is about time we were being
given a rest from such CUFF as Ban
Johnson has been handing out ever
since the Federal league butted into
the baseball world. He has consigned
