TAYLOR SAYS HE
WAS ROBBED AT
FORT WILLIAM
Manager of Virginia Ball Club
Says That Elliott Is a
Strong ''Home Umps."
UNGLAUB OF FARGO IS
PEEVED AT DULUTH
Declares He Was Outlucked In
Every Contest Played In
Zenith City.

Home after their journey to the
north shore where they dropped two
games to and won one from Ft.
William, the members Of the Virginia
ball team are looking fine and fit but
complain of the treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of Umpire Ell
lott who officiated in the Canadian
series.
"We were robbed and that is all
there is to it," said Manager Taylor
this morning. "In the first contest
we were fairly beaten; but in that
second game, when Pitcher Faeth and
myself were taken off the field by the
police, we were robbed right and left.
There was lot of betting being done
on the game and, in most open man.
ner at that. Several of our players
had been approached by Ft. William
Spectators and offered various
amounts if they would throw the game
Of course they refused to listen.
"1n the second inning Elliott put
the clamps on us for keeps. His decis-
ions were all in favor of the Forts
and when Pitcher Faeth let yowl
out of him the jumps chased him to the
dog house. / intervened and while
making my protests was ordered back
to the bench. l insisted upon being
heard and then was when Elliott call
ed the blue coats.
"When Faeth was derricked I had
no warm pitcher to send in. I asked
that Wilson be given five minutes in
which to get in shape. Elliott consent
ed to this but did not keep his promise.
He allowed me only minute. Wilson

picking for the hitting Cana
dians.
Fresh from it's three successive de-
feats at the hands Of Darby O'Brien's
Duluth White Sox, the Fargo-Moore-
head team, managed by Bob Unglaub,
arrived in Virginia last evening for
series of four games, the first to be
played this afternoon and the last
next Sunday.
Manager Bob is perceptibly peeved
! over the manner in which the j'v-
enated Zenith City team walloped his
pets. He says it was just tough luck.
"Why O'Brien has no players, outside
of two, that would make room for
on my team," said Unglaub. ''They
just out-lucked us. We have been 60
ing good but when we hit Duluth the
proverbial slump came and we just
had to ride on the toboggan. Every
time that the Sox had three men on
bases, one of our crew would boot
the ball or throw it away, allowing
every base runner to score. am we'll

and we will show the advantage be-

WOULD CONTROL
RING FIGHTERS
McCarey Has Scheme to Control
Tyrants of Squared Arena
Would Form Syndicate.

LOS ANGELES, June 18.-A move
ment to curb the tyrannical domina-
tion of the prize ring champions has
been started by Promoter McCarey
of the Vernon club, and unless all
signs fail there will be a decided
change in the manner of staging
fights soon.
In common with other promoters,
McCarey is tired of the exorbitant de-
mands made by champions, and what
is equally as bad, their reluctance to
place their title in danger more than
once a year and some of them once
in two years. The present reign of
the roped arena knights has brought
the fistic game to lower level than
ever before in the history of the
sport in California.
Class of Bouts Lowered.
Because of their refusal to fight un-
less given guarantee that practical
ly takes every cent of profit from the
matchmaker, and often times leaves
him in the hole, champions have forced
matchers to put on boys of mediocre
caliber who are willing to fight for
a small sum. These flights" have in
creased to such an alarming degree
that now it is almost a rarity to see
two good boys mentioned as meeting
in any one ring the country over.
McCarey has entered into commune
cation with promoters throughout the
land in an effort to reach some defin-
ite understanding as to the manner
in which the fighting game shall be
conducted. Personally McCarey fav.
ors a commission Of about three
one from the Pacific coast, one from
the middle west and one from the fal
least.
Fix the Weights.
This commission, according to Nc
Carey, shall fix the weights Of the diff
ferent divisions. 1t will rule just how
often champion shall defend his titlt
in twenty-round bout. It will settle
the "weighing in" question, whether
contestants are to make ringsid'
weight or make it a certain time be
fore entering the ring. The cham
pion of any division will have posi-
lively nothing to say about the weigh
or when it is to be made. The com
mission will also fix a definite scal'
of purses which are to be fought TO-
in all championship contests, thus pull
ing Mr.. Champs fangs in the lates
and most approved method.
McCarey admits, of course, that tn
promoters will have to stand togethe
to enforce their rulings. If tn
scheme can be launched, McCarey say
he will Immediately offer six damon
belts to be fought for by the bantam
'[featherweights, .lightweights, welte1
weights, middleweights and tn
lheavies.

DELEGATES use
HARSH WORDS
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS)

WASHINGTON, June 18.-Relieved
by the news that two Constitutional
ist chiefs in northern Mexico have ad-
justed their differences, the officials
at Washington are now turning their
attention to a critical stage in the
mediation negotiations at Niagara
Falls where some sharp statements
have been made by the Huerta dele
gates. The Mexicans aver that the
insistance of the American mission on
the Constitutionalists, for a provincial
president was tantamount to abetting,
even exacting fraud and violence at
elections.

STEEL TRADE
LOOKING UP
Substantial Orders Being Re
ported, Says VIII. Locker
on Return.
President of New American
Manganese Company Com
ing Here.

DULUTH, June lS:-W. H. Locker
returned yesterday afternoon from
Philadelphia, where he attended the
organization meeting Of the Ameri-
can Manganese company.
'The steel and iron trade in the
East is looking up, the placing of some
substantial orders in finished pro-
ducts being reported within the last
few days." he said.s ut is conceded
on all sides that revival will come
about in the industry as soon as the
interstate commerce commission hands
down it's decision in the freight rate
case, whether it is entirely favorable
to the railroads or not. With bump
er harvest assured i'm the Southwest
and conditions also looking most
promising in the Northwest, it is re-
garded as certain that most of the
roads will find their present equip
ments inadequate to handle tn grain
offering. All the car Companies are
therefore looking forward to a big
run of rush orders4 in the near fu-
ture. Provided that the promised ac-
tivity at the mills materializes, it is
thought reasonable & to bank upon a
sharp extension in mining operations
on the ranges, as the moving of a
large tonnage down ito the lower lake
ports will be necessary to keep the
plants going throughout the winter. ~
Mr.. Locker averrea that E. E. Mar
shall of Philadelphia, presidnt of the
American Manganese Manufacturing
company, will probably visit Duluth
next week on his way to make an
inspection of the Cuyuna- Mile Lacs
and the Cuyuna-Duluth mines, and to
arrange for their operation on a more
extendd scale from now till the close
of navigation.
Shipments of ore from the new
properties are expected to reach from
225,00O to 250,O00 tons this season.
